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!

Hot as f**k!!! I go to class just to see him which actually helps me. Class is fun. He does great experiments.

can we say ****ing gorgeous?...and that chalk all over his arms...yum yum

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.

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

He's a funny guy and a real G.

Online lectures available as supplemental material to refer back on! He's the best!

i love freund sooooo much!!!!! i need him just like fish needs water !!!!!!!!!

Really love Freund, such a fun professor and really teaches welllll!!!

Best professor in UCSB

the best teacher ever met.

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.

I took PHYS 6AB with him and found his teaching style helpful and very fun. The homework and quizzes are very challenging, and the class is very fast-paced, but it is possible to excel. Even though exams are worth most of your grade, they are relatively fair since they are similar to the quizzes and optional practice problems, which I appreciate.

Freund made physics really enjoyable. We had 2 midterms, quizzes for each module, and a final. He only includes question types that are included in the practice material/quizzes and he has a ton of practice midterms and finals. He made physics as stress-free as someone can make a physics course.

Easily one of UCSB's best. He is absolutely hilarious, loves all his students, is easily approachable and accessible, and will never throw you any curveballs. His tests come directly from his practice exams - my friends and I are convinced it is literally impossible to get below an A in this class if you do the practice problems. LOVE him!!

I took Geller for 6A and and struggling a little bit so I switched to Freund for 6B and it was the best decision ever. Freund is kind of quirky so his lectures are amazing and really funny, but he's also just really kind and caring and made physics feel a lot more accessible and easy. If you have to take the physics series do it with Freund!

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!

The class isn't necessarily easy, bc it's physics, but he makes physics way more fun than I thought it could be. His humor is awkward and hilarious--the only reason to go to class, since his lectures are posted online. Highly recommend visiting office hrs regularly. Don't wait until the day before a test to go bc there will be a line out the door.
