Reviews of professor Caleb Zimmerman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
although grades are based on a few papers, he always explains the criteria well. very nice and accessible outside of class. if you're stuck on something, talking to him will usually clear that up. always a fun class

Be ready to hear A LOT about his life and career, some of which you might not care about. Overall a decent teacher. He just gives some short papers at the beginning, one mandatory art assignments, and then a paper. The paper is 40% of your grade. But none of it is horrible. He likes discussion, but be ready for him to be disagreeable.

Caleb was the best professor I had this semester. Work wise the grading criteria is very clear and he's not a harsh grader, but is insightful giving feedback on assignments. Office hours were chill and conversational too. I can go on and on, but overall this course taught me a lot and was demanding, but in a good way. 100% recommend everyone takes.

Zimmerman for PHIL 0839 is great if you're a very gray thinker and can apply yourself to various concepts. The class is not about analyzing what it means to be human, but rather applying a philosophical lens to for ex. slang. 

Class is unfortunately wannabe debate at times, so discussion can incredibly redundant. Worthwhile gened.

Caleb is a great professor. He's incredibly personable (and even funny sometimes), and he makes learning about philosophy tolerable. He provides great feedback too. If you have the opportunity to take one of his classes, do it!

Calebs the nerdy, cool bro type of guy. As expected from a IH class, theres lots of readings. But he breaks everything down easily. Easy to comprehend. 2 précis (+ 1 optional), voice threads (to see if youre reading), paper proposal, presentation, presentation evaluation (youll be evaluating someone else), & final paper. Easy A!
