gets off track often in lecture but always circles back to the lesson eventually. the material itself is hard to grasp but his tests are exactly like the practice. weekly quizzes are also good practice for the exams, but they are weighted pretty heavily. does a fun demonstration at the end of every lecture and made me actually want to go to my 8am!

Chill guy and tests were very fair when I took his class for the 6 series. In hindsight I could have skipped lecture since attendance wasn't mandatory but I always liked his class

Awesome professor, even though he admittedly does have hard to follow lectures. He gives lots of practice problems that are extremely similar to the midterms/final, so as long as you're well-versed in those, you'll do just fine in the class. He also has really fun demos at the end of lectures!

Freund is a great professor! I regret not going to office hours more often since he's not teaching 6B next quarter. Each exam question appears in some form in the practice quiz or practice exams, with different numbers, directions, etc. After the first midterm it was very straightforward to study, the final had no real surprises.

Get ready to teach everything to yourself. He's a nice guy but can't lecture to save his life. The midterms and finals r very similar to the practice tests.

Optional lectures, but they are pretty entertaining. The midterms and the final is identical to the practice one, so do all of them and understand how to do each problem and it'll be an easy A.

Just memorize ALL quizzes and past exams. He isn't the best lecturer and just kind of talks gibberish and his notes are gibberish. Make your own formulas for questions and memorize everything. It's hard but do-able

Super easy tests any question on a midterm or final is going to be on any of his practice questions

never wrote an RMP before but I have so much respect for him for sticking up for his students. the most amazing, fun, and encouraging lecturer. go to office hours, ask about conceptuals (not just memorize questions), do practice exams, and you'll crush it. he's so goated, if I ever get Alzheimer's he'd probably be the last person I forget

Freund is the man! He balances the mental health of students while also teaching physics intuitively without the extra fuss. He understands we're life science majors, not physicists! I got an A- after the Geller final, but he changed it to an A on gold, likely due to a curve which he usually doesn't do in the A range. He is a great guy!

Freund has been my favorite professor by far. He truly wants his students to succeed and prepares them with engaging lectures and plenty of practice. Redoing quizzes, practice tests, and going to office hours with any questions you have will allow you to succeed in this course.

Freund is amazing and his lectures are very engaging. If you do the practice questions you will be fine on the exams. There are a lot of wee little quizzes for homework but they are not too bad. The demonstrations are so fun and I like how he also cannot stand how long lectures are.

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.

The lectures are decent, but what makes Freund such a great professor is how clear and straightforward the course structure is. The practice problems for each module are nearly identical to the quiz and exam problems, and there are notes/videos on Canvas for each lecture topic.

Freund is the best physics prof. Physics lectures can get boring, but he does his best to keep everyone's attention by cracking jokes and doing demonstrations. His exams are easy, because they're like his homework quizzes and practice tests. He answers questions on his discussion forums frequently and whenever students have questions. Nice guy.

It's literally a Christmas miracle I passed this class I don't know how this happened. Don't get me wrong this man is my day 1 opp, but he did something magical to his curve to get me to pass. I could never make sense of what he was trying to say/teach, he would never produce a coherent thought or sentence. Bro has the worst ADHD I've ever seen

Freund is a sweetie pie and you can tell he cares but he also is super frantic and anxious and seems to struggle getting his ideas out in an understandable way. Chiller though

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.

TLDR: Take Geller physics for easy A. When I got to UCSB, I was clueless about physics. Everyone else discussed energy while I was still learning kinematics. When I got one module, my peers were light-years ahead. I wanted to cry into my textbooks, but it was this demon called Achieve. All my friends in 6A with Geller had it easier than me. :(

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.

There's a reason why he's the GOAT. Definitely my favorite my professor at UCSB

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
