Reviews of professor Charles Zimmer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Hands down the best professor I have had while at UC. He allowed the students to work as a class to figure out how to create different data structures from scratch. The lab work was kind of grueling because it was done in lab groups, but the labs followed along with what we learned in class. I learned so much and highly recommend this professor!!!!

Zimmer is one of the best professors I've had at UC. Not an easy class, but you get a lot out of it. You will learn if you take this class.

A solid professor, very helpful and approachable in and out of class. His style is lecture heavy, although you will probably have to read some of the textbook. Occasionally takes attendance. Grade is made up of a handful of homeworks, a few quizzes, in class participation (attendance), a midterm, and a final.

Makes what is supposed to be a tough CS class very manageable. Knows his stuff, and is very approachable with questions and concerns. Lots of group work, both in labs and on homework. Midterm and final were both open note. There's a lot to learn in the class, but he does a great job teaching it.

This man is a homie. He has people call him "Chuck" and he is really has an interest in data structures and genuinely reflects that interest onto the students. Class isn't a cake-walk by any means, but if you go to all the lectures and pay attention (not hard to do, he's very interesting) you will absolutely pass the class. He knows his stuff.

his lectures are not that clear in explaining the topic. he writes notes for the class in the class on a word doc while he is explaining the topic. his assignments are extremely vague - one line instruction as to what we are supposed to do. if you are actually listening and understanding what he is talking about, you should be fine

Zimmer made data structures straightforward and digestible. He is an approachable guy and encourages participation and learning. If you pay attention to his lectures, you will easily pass this course. At one point my group asked for an extension on a homework, to which he quickly allowed for us. Just beware you will get sick of the labs quickly.

Professor Zimmer is probably the best teacher at TMU. He goes above and beyond the call of duty. He is probably the only reason why there even still is CIS and MIS degrees at the University. He is great guy and sets every student up for success no matter what.

1. Chill kinda professor.
2. Knows what he is teaching not just reading ppt slides
3. Helps you whenever required
4. Interacts with students
5. Quiz are not that difficult if you follow in-class task properly
6. Group project is also not difficult as it is cumulation of all the in-class tasks

Tip: Always take IS7012 by Charles Zimmer
