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...

Um, HOTTIE!!! Not everyday your Prof. is your age and HOT!!! Did I mention, he's hot??? I'm sure if you do more then stare at his arms and butt when he writes on the board like I did, then you will do fine, but I passed anyway. :) Oh & um,

good lord that is one beautiful man!! his lectures are really good too and the demos always keep class interesting. sometimes he has a little bit of trouble explaining things, but that's what the office hours are for ;)

Ya he is hot, but he simply can't teach. His presentations are all over the place and hard to follow. His tests are not fair at all, super hard questions worth lots of points each. Lectures are sometimes entertaining though.

Ernest is totally awesome. He makes physics interesting and does great demos. He's also good at bringing it to your level so that you can understand what he's talking about. Great class!

Younger guy with a PhD. If you dont read or do homework youre screwed. Sad to say, but doing the homework and not going to lecture is the best way through this class, he'll only confuse you. Great in-class demo's though.

I love Freund. His exams are purely based on the weekly quizzes. As long as you memorize how to do those specific questions, you can basically score 100% on every exam. Attendance isn't mandatory, so I stopped going halfway through the quarter because his lectures are a little boring. But, he tries his best to joke and make them interesting.

Given the choice between him and Geller, I'd choose Freund in a heartbeat. He's super funny and relatable, and he explains things well. His test and quiz questions are also super basic Your grade is only based on the midterms, final, and quizzes. Not many practice materials besides practice midterms/finals and quizzes

One of the best professors I've had. The material can be tricky, but Freund's lectures and practice problems make it manageable. Definitely do the prep work - unstuck AI was a lifesaver alongside the textbook. Engaging class, would take again in a heartbeat.

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.

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!

Had Freund for the whole 6 series and he's easily one of my favorite professors I've ever had. Do the practice problems and quiz problems until you basically have them memorized and the tests will be easy. Also, make sure you go to lecture on the last day of 6C

I love this man. I took him for Physics A, B, and C and he never failed to make me laugh. The physics itself is confusing at times, but he makes it easy to digest and usually just gives you one formula that you have to understand. He models his exams after the practice problems for each module, so DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS. Give this man a raise!

i love freund. i wish he was the professor for all of my classes. his lectures are funny and engaging. his tests are fair and homework is manageable. he has recorded lectures on the topics if you miss them and he works through practice problems to help you understand better. 11/10 would take for every physics course
