Freund is the goat, that's it, that's the review. Do not miss his last class of 6C -- there was a special guest appearance, that's all I can say.

He simplifies material so much, avoids calculus equations and, goes over practice problems which help for each module. Great professor. You always know what to expect for midterms and finals because it's the same as all the practice problems.

Hands down he is the best physics teacher I have had. He makes the lectures accessible on canvas. His exams are similar to the practice exams he posts. If you are someone who would rather watch lecture videos than going to class, take him. Watch the videos and the practice questions for each module and you will be good.

Freund is awesome, I took the full PHYS6A-C series with him. Tests are exactly like the practice problems he gives out so do them all in preparation for tests or daily to stay on track! Attendance is not mandatory, but if class missed you should watch his posted videos.

6B . Freund E G 5 Months Ago

He made quizzes and tests worth 50% each. Daily quizzes were only one try each, and became increasingly difficult. Practice quizzes did not reflect quizzes. Lecture videos are very disorganized and confusing. I haven't learned a thing.

Freund is the GOAT. The exams are exactly like the practice ones posted online so it is very easy to score high (test averages for 6C were in the 90s). Attendance isn't mandatory since videos are posted on Canvas, but I would recommend going as he is pretty entertaining. Make sure to go to the last class of 6C!
