Professor Freeman is a sweet, knowledgeable, and passionate teacher who loves her subject and does her best to teach her class. She is not tech savvy and often has trouble when it comes to canvas and lectures. The homework is light & the worst part of the class is the readings and the exams/essays. But I would take her class again in a heart beat!

Freeman is a nice lady. Attendance was not mandatory. Because of this, most people didn't show up to lecture. Her lectures were very dry and weren't engaging. She told the TA to grade harshly on the final due to lack of attendance when it wasn't even required. TA Sterling was a chill guy but a very harsh grader. Review the syllabus frequently.

I am shocked at the bad reviews for Prof Freeman - her class was by far easier than other poly sci courses and was packed with relevant information. 10+ readings a week but you do not need to do them. Take home midterm/final was essay format with 2-4 days to complete. She's nice but lectures are copied Wikipedia and grading criteria super unclear.

Prof Freeman is such a sweet lady who cares about her students. She does put a lot of info on her slides, but she posts the slides on gs so you can copy/paste them into your notes. I never did the reading! Midterm & Final were take home short identifications and a small essay. A pretty easy class TBH. As long as you have notes you'll be fine.

I'm not sure why the reviews are so harsh, she's a very kind and knowledgeable instructor. She's not a very harsh grader, and the course material is interesting if you actually pay attention in lecture. She really loves the topics she teaches, and earning a good grade is super doable.

Kind but super disorganized which obviously impacts the organization and structure of the course.
