Pretty cool guy in general, but he went really fast during lecture. You have to constantly keep up with his pace to understand the material of the class because he goes through the material quickly. His midterm and final were like past exams so study any past exams that he posts on Gauchospace. Take CLAS and go to his office hours if you want help.

He's seriously awesome. Enough said.

Professor Freund is clear, helpful, and hilarious. He does great demonstrations with the students.

Practice practice practice especially if this is your first physics course like me. Not much homework midterm and final make up your whole grade. His lectures are disorganized at times and go really quickly so make sure you ask a lot of questions if you''re stuck. He''s a really funny guy full of energy fair grader.

Prof Freund is a great guy! Pretty hilarious actually, and a good teacher as long as you're keeping up with the class. It's easy to get behind though, especially in summer, so go to class and pay attention and you'll do fine.

Ernest is the best! I heard physics is harder over the summer, but he made it so much fun! This is the only class I never missed a lecture. He is a GREAT guy, and has the funniest jokes ever. Tests are straightforward. DO the practice tests and you'll get an A.

Professor Freund was great! I was nervous about taking physics because I had heard it was so hard from the people that took it during the school year, but Freund made everything understandable and kept the class engaged. Really funny!! Text book wasn't really necessary. CLAS helped a lot too, Vince was great!

Without a doubt, the best physics professor I have ever had. He does an amazing job of making material to easy to understand. 10/10 would recommend!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. I had no interest in physics whatsoever. Freund made it interesting and engaged students as much as possible. Very cool prof. His exams were very straight forward and gave practice exams that helped A LOT.

Funny, easy-going professor. Lectures are somewhat mandatory to attend because of iclicker points, but you will want to go anyway because he has great demos, explanations, and makes the lectures entertaining, plus he is probably the most attractive professor at UCSB. His exams are VERY similar to the practice exams, so learn those and you're golden

Great professor. Tests are very similar to practice exams. Easy going, funny. Makes physics a lot more enjoyable than other professors. Easily the best physics professor at ucsb

So, bascially the class is tough, many people who took IB physics in high school had trouble in his class! It is hard! Final was really difficult but excellent curve. homework kinda hard but not helpful for the tests. study what is from class because it appears on the test! in my class, stuff appeared but nobody new so average was still terrible!

Freund is a fun guy and an alright teacher. he seemed really busy this quarter with other things and didn't put that much time into the class. He was lazy on the midterms and gave us a lot of questions that we had seen in class or clicker questions. Other than that he is pretty easy. If you put enough time in you can get an A.Big curve if necessary

Professor Freund is GREAT. His tests are really hard but if you study how he tells you to study you'll do fine, the curve is huge. He's so nice, helpful, hilarious. ...Hot.

His tests are hard. Study the clicker questions, one of the midterms will be ALL clicker questions and the class avg will suck. Go to class and pay attention since some of his problems come from class examples. The homework wasn't really that helpful, but you need it for your grade, and its not that hard to get a good grade on it.

Ernest has got to be the hottest professor I have ever seen. I took his class and actually went to every lecture. Such a GREAT teacher! His demos are hilarious, and he is just so much fun. I am so upset that he's not in sb anymore...wut am I going to do without Ernest for B and C??

Ernest was THE best physics teacher that I have ever had. He made concepts easy to understand and if you go to class you'll ace the tests no problem. I went to class everyday, which is surprisingly easy for the ladies due to how incredibly HOT Ernest is. His demos were hilarious and his tests are exactly like the practices he puts online. :) :)

First of all...he is the hottest teacher on campus!!! He is a fair teacher..his test are fair if u study..i recomend to study his review sheets and to read every chapter he teaches...trust me!!! His lectures are not that boring..he is a funny guy and hot!..haha.. so TAKE HIM!

He is a straight forward lecturer. He makes class more fun by bringing in demos. His tests are fair and clear. He's not so bad to look at either. :-)

Ernest is a great guy. Only problem is that he he used to live in a truck.

Ernest completely got me INTO physics. I learned to LOVE physics because of the way he taught and because of his awesome demos. He's easy to talk to and you can even drink with him in I.V. or downtown. Thanks Ernest

Funny, kool dude. Girlz think he's hot. lectures are ok, exams are ok, --fairly easy. probably the best teaching dude around sb(doesn't mean he's THAT good though). Recommendable

Definately the most entertaining class Ive had at UCSB. He is a great teacher, has fun demos, and the questions on the tests are straight from lecture. Too bad he doesnt teach 6C...

he was friendly, clear, and able to answer questions well. tests were fair.
