PHYS6A6B6C . Freund E G A Month Ago

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

I love Freund. I've had him the whole 6 series and he's just a good person. He cares about students, and is always upbeat about everything. He's also always facing pressure from the physics department to make his exams harder, so he tries to add Geller questions to exams. However, if you do well enough on his questions, you can still do well.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

Absolutely loved Freund. Lectures are engaging with demonstrations at the end of each class. Your grade is almost completely based on midterms, but if you do all of the practice problems, you will be good. Make sure to go to the last class of 6C.

I took all of his PHYS6 with no regret, and the only difference between the classes was the content. We know what to expect in class and grading is fair. He responds to students' questions quickly. I appreciate how amusing he is even though I did 6C online. Tests are important, but you will easily do well if you repeat module practice problems.

Funny guy and inspiring to students that as long as you show up and do the work given you'll be fine. Do his practice tests and there's no surprises on exams

Truly one of the best prof's from UCSB. Is entertaining, engaging, makes lectures available online, and most importantly, actually teaches physics in an understandable manner!

I love Professor Freund. He is so funny with his lectures, and test are heavily based on his practice questions. You do have to study because it is physics, it is not an easy A maybe like an easy C??? Course consists of homework and quizzes for every "module" aka topic and two midterms and a final. Attendance is taken by iclicker.

Freund is a great professor. The online version of this class is really nice- no midterms or finals- just a lot of quizzes, which make up most of the grade. The quizzes are not difficult especially if you do the assigned problems beforehand, as they were always very similar. No busy work, which is nice, but you will still learn a lot.

Freund is the most caring and funny professor I have ever had at UCSB. He explains everything very well and he is very informative and accessible outside of class. I have never been to his office hour but he always spends time to talk to you after class. His tests are very reasonable and you really learn physics from him. Highly recommended!

I took Freund for 6A and in both 6A and 6C, he seemed a little scattered in both (probs bc of his concussion). He's super accommodating for student-athletes and is willing to work with you. He's pretty entertaining, but the material in 6C can get a little trippy when you hit time & relativity. Do his practice exams! He uses problems for the final.
