Ernetst rocks but he probably shouldn't wear his purple shorts anymore.

His multiple choice tests were actually really hard and many of the questions were not worded as properly as they should have been. He also doesn't give enough space to work out the problems.

I absolutely love Freund! His tests are so hard but he is so sweet! He is the nicest and most caring professor on campus. Freund is extremely helpful and explains things well. He really cares about his students. I had him for physics 1 and 2 and he is just a really cool guy. his lectures are very entertaining...especially the bowling ball incident

If Professor Freund was a Peacock, he would have the most beautiful tail, but he would have a funny gobble cus that dood is goofy. YA FREUND WOOT WOOT WOOT.

Hottest Prof Ever. Doesnt matter that lectures are mandatory cause you'll want to go anyway, they're very interesting and u have a nice view. As much as i hate physics i think i would take this class again just to look at him. =]

Easy first midterm, impossible second midterm (48% average!), decent final. Freund is a hesitant teacher, but not too bad. I don't see why everyone else says he's "excellent" - he was okay. Not great, not bad. Didn't really prepare us for the stuff that was coming up on the test though. Overall pretty tough class. Lots of homework, too.

Hard midterms and easy final. His lectures were very useful and he did his best to make physics interesting. The textbook is HUGE.

Excellent prof! He is very nice and funny. He really wants you to learn and is great at getting concepts across. The class itself is hard as diamond though, so you better really be ready to study. Nonetheless, Fruend is an excellent prof who will make the class fun and helpful.

Physics 6B is a much harder class that 6A. Material is simply more difficult to grasp and apply. Geller is a good teacher and makes the class much easier than it could be. He cuts out a lot of material that he knows most of us bio majors won't ever use. Definitely take this class. Not stressful at all

All the previous comments are very true. Prof. Freund is the man! I'm taking an 8am class (which is crazy for me) just to have him again.

Geller is a good teacher. Does a lot of demos and fun stuff in lecture. Midterms are easy and final is not that bad. If you have taken high school physics this class is a joke. Doesnt get hard until the end of the quarter. Good teacher, great class. take first year!! lot of homework to be done

Got an A for the qtr even tho i bombed a midterm! Yay! 2 midterms & a final. All multiple choice. Midterms were easy, but final was extremely hard/intense! If you fall behind, CLAS helps. He's very generous on curves. CLASS AVERAGE = 65-67% and that's considered a B-. HARD CLASS~ cool teacher.

Geller makes physics fun

really great professor, makes material easy to understand and explains in a way that allows students to comprehend it without getting too mixed up

Very clear in lecture and with his expectations. Nice and cool guy too, hes not too much older than us. Just realize the tests are going to be hard- 40% avgs sometimes- however this is at the demand of the physics dept and not Ernest.

really fun and cool professor!quarter started out with perfect difficulty, i was happy,doing well,aced first midterm,and actually learning physics.then all of a sudden the physics dept. jumped on his back and forced him to make the class harder cuz "its for engineering students".after this point the class started sucking.i learned less & did worse.

Very fun, friendly, and succeeds in sparking interest in the subject. The book is not very valuable, and mastering physics is even worse; (the worst excuse for instruction). Freund is one of the coolest professors I've had here.

this guy is awesome. he is aware that the students who take his course are not physics majors, and makes a conscious and notable effort to connect the material to biology and other subjects of interest, and he does so successfully. i would highly recommend him, his teaching methods and tests are straightforward.

Geller is a really cool guy..i went to all his lectures because they ARE really entertaining and you will definitely stay awake.he COULD improve on his teaching but its cool to see a professor that is passionate about teaching.He's not there to hold your hand so dont be a wuss,and just read.oh,and homework SUCKS but its the same for all professors.

Geller is a cool guy but his teaching is seriously flawed. His lectures are conceptual but his tests are difficult mathematic problems that are poorly written. You have to teach yourself the concepts or you will fail. attending class is often pointless since all he does are demos: entertaining but not helpful for the home work which takes forever!

Ernest is the best professor I have had from my 3 phyics classes taken here in UCSB. He explained concepts very clearly at a level in which the majority of the students in the class could comprehend. Avg.'s of 60%s were a lot better than the 40%s with Reese's classes.

geller makes it easy to pay attention in lecture since he loves teaching. he does a lot of demos. however his tests are a lot harder than the homework and the example problems that he does in class.

whoa he does a lot of demos! so what?!! they are useless. he is useless. he does not teach a thing. he is the worst professor i have had. it's ridiculous when he tries to explain things bc he can't if his life depended on it. his book sucks too. why? bc he wrote it!!

After his ridicluous midterm, I realized that I do not like Geller. Yeah, the class is entertaining, but he doesn't teach anything and you either have to learn it all from CLAS or from the book. His tests don't test you on anything he actually taught, so be careful
