Reviews of professor James Zulker

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The homework was though aleks, extremely long, and DOESN'T prepare you for tests.  The slides weren't great and the class is just him going through slides and cramming (sometimes incomplete) solutions under them.  Thats ALL you have to study with.  You don't know what you're doing wrong until you get back a bad test.

He, himself, isn't *terrible*

"Teaches" with PowerPoint vids that are assigned as homework. You could pause each slide to write your notes instead of watching. Be prepared for 1-2 hours ^ on top of actual mandatory class time, where he goes over examples instead of lecture. If you can't teach yourself math, I don't recommend Zulker. Only good thing is tests & exams open note!

The worst professor I've ever had. He explains concepts very poorly and does not answer questions well. His tests are extremely difficult, consisting of obscure questions that he didn't cover in class. He did not seem to care that the class average for the first test was a 30%. He could honestly care less about student success. DO NOT TAKE ZULKER!

Three major tests were open note. The final exam was open note as well. Homework is given thru WebAssign. Make sure you attend class because he gives out an activity at the end which is graded. Even though tests are open note, make sure you STUDY! Overall, good professor and makes you work for the grade.

Frequently tests on material not gone over in class, in his homework's or problems done through the schools online learning portal. Only teaches for 45 mins and leaves the other hour to start homework. Takes weeks to grade exams! Brags about how easy all of his tests are when the class average is an "F".

Differential Equations with this Professor Zulker was the worst class I have ever taken in college. Lots of homework and tough grader on everything. He was extremely slow to respond to emails, and that was if he responded at all. When he did respond, he never was very helpful. 10/10 would not recommend Professor Zulker.

I have failed every test and quiz due to his grading he takes off so much credit for minor mistakes, he barely explains and even if you do pay attention and take notes you still won't understand what you wrote.

His exams are hard as ever. He readA from the slides and doesn't take time to break every question step by step. If you're an honor student with a good GPA, don't take him.

Great Professor, I think all Math courses should be formatted exactly like Professor Zulker's I hope he comes back to Mercer !

I cried over this course multiple times, he is very good at offering online office hours. If you have to make up any of your tests make sure to do it right away because i would ask him to review them with me he would say i did ok and not to worry then input low grades.
