6A . Freund E G 2 Months Ago

Freund is a very good professor, there's demos each class, everything he mention is important and so it is crucial to learn how to take notes in his class. The assignments are hard but he only assigns a few for each modules. He would mumbles sometimes but it is not a big problem as he tries to cover all the materials

I did not like his lectures at all. He is all over the place and made it hard to learn. I would recommend watching his videos instead as they are much easier to gain an understanding from. I absolutely would not take him again if there was a better option.

Freund is great! his exams are VERY fair, you won't see a problem you haven't seen before on exams. lectures are meh, he jumps around a lot. u can def get an A w/out lecture & just watching his videos instead. u WILL have to study LOTS for this class if physics isn't your thing, but if u put in the work Freund won't make it hard for u to do well

Absolutely loved Freund. Lectures are engaging with demonstrations at the end of each class. Your grade is almost completely based on midterms, but if you do all of the practice problems, you will be good. Make sure to go to the last class of 6C.
