Ernest is a good lookin dude. He's a fun professor also. One day we'll throw a physics party at some dude's house, and everyone will come, including Ernest. Hot dogs and beer for everyone!

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 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

Ernest is a hottie! Also a great professor, although I couldn't help staring at his biceps during lecture. At least it made me pay attention, when in other physics courses I fell asleep. He had great demos, and is a nice guy.

TLDR: Take Geller physics for easy A. When I got to UCSB, I was clueless about physics. Everyone else discussed energy while I was still learning kinematics. When I got one module, my peers were light-years ahead. I wanted to cry into my textbooks, but it was this demon called Achieve. All my friends in 6A with Geller had it easier than me. :(

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.

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!

Freund is a very good professor, there's demos each class, everything he mention is important and so it is crucial to learn how to take notes in his class. The assignments are hard but he only assigns a few for each modules. He would mumbles sometimes but it is not a big problem as he tries to cover all the materials

I did not like his lectures at all. He is all over the place and made it hard to learn. I would recommend watching his videos instead as they are much easier to gain an understanding from. I absolutely would not take him again if there was a better option.

Freund is great! his exams are VERY fair, you won't see a problem you haven't seen before on exams. lectures are meh, he jumps around a lot. u can def get an A w/out lecture & just watching his videos instead. u WILL have to study LOTS for this class if physics isn't your thing, but if u put in the work Freund won't make it hard for u to do well

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 hate physics but I actually love going to his lectures because he is super engaging and I find his dry sense of humor hilarious. The practice tests and quizzes are exactly like his exams which is super helpful because you always know what to expect. He also posts lecture videos + videos going over different practice problems online.

genuinely one of my favorite professors of all time. his teaching is straightforward and he is extremely helpful and accessible outside of class. he also lets you know exactly what to expect on tests and quizzes, so as long as you do the practice tests he provides you'll pass the class. I hope this man gets everything he wants in life

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.

One of favorite profs here at UCSB. Tests are JUST like the practice tests and module practice. Do all module practice. Freund is a super fair professor and is super helpful outside of class also. He is very funny and makes lectures entertaining and enjoyable, he is the best.

Fun guy and good if you know how to approach the class. Don't get lazy so do all the quizzes, achieve, and MODULE PRACTICE problems for each module. Tests/quizzes are identical to those MODULE PRACTICE problems so do them as much as possible. Got to office hours to get help on MODULE PRACTICE problems you don't get. Read the tests carefully!!!
