such a funny teacher and he's one of the younger ones so students like him even more. I thought his lectures were upbeat and easy to pay attention in because of how he is.

Freund is super into physics and honestly makes the class bearable. I wish I could've taken him for the first two physics. He is probably my favorite professor over the past 3 years.

DO THOSE PRACTICE MIDTERMS!!! They will save you because most of his exams are just like his practice ones. Once you understand the concepts and how to solve each problem, then you'll be fine. His lectures are confusing because they are a bit confusing, but other than that he's an awesome professor! He's hilarious and chill af!!!!

He's a beautiful man inside and out. Makes physics really easy to understand and actually interesting. Go to class and make use of his practice tests! It's not too hard to get an A. His lectures were the highlight of my classes.

By far the best physics professor I've had at UCSB. Very clear and gives a lot (relative to the other physics professors I've had) of example problems in class which greatly helped me on homework and exams.

Freund is such a chill professor. His midterm and final are very similar to the practice ones so if you do those (and understand those problems), you'll do very well.

What will help you pass the class? Attend the lectures. The tests are identical to the problems that he does in class. If you review the material he posts and take good notes, you'll get a B easily. The effort you put in really makes a difference. He likes puns.

Pretty cool guy in general, but he went really fast during lecture. You have to constantly keep up with his pace to understand the material of the class because he goes through the material quickly. His midterm and final were like past exams so study any past exams that he posts on Gauchospace. Take CLAS and go to his office hours if you want help.

Practice practice practice especially if this is your first physics course like me. Not much homework midterm and final make up your whole grade. His lectures are disorganized at times and go really quickly so make sure you ask a lot of questions if you''re stuck. He''s a really funny guy full of energy fair grader.

Prof Freund is a great guy! Pretty hilarious actually, and a good teacher as long as you're keeping up with the class. It's easy to get behind though, especially in summer, so go to class and pay attention and you'll do fine.

Ernest is the best! I heard physics is harder over the summer, but he made it so much fun! This is the only class I never missed a lecture. He is a GREAT guy, and has the funniest jokes ever. Tests are straightforward. DO the practice tests and you'll get an A.

Professor Freund was great! I was nervous about taking physics because I had heard it was so hard from the people that took it during the school year, but Freund made everything understandable and kept the class engaged. Really funny!! Text book wasn't really necessary. CLAS helped a lot too, Vince was great!

Without a doubt, the best physics professor I have ever had. He does an amazing job of making material to easy to understand. 10/10 would recommend!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. I had no interest in physics whatsoever. Freund made it interesting and engaged students as much as possible. Very cool prof. His exams were very straight forward and gave practice exams that helped A LOT.

Funny, easy-going professor. Lectures are somewhat mandatory to attend because of iclicker points, but you will want to go anyway because he has great demos, explanations, and makes the lectures entertaining, plus he is probably the most attractive professor at UCSB. His exams are VERY similar to the practice exams, so learn those and you're golden

Great professor. Tests are very similar to practice exams. Easy going, funny. Makes physics a lot more enjoyable than other professors. Easily the best physics professor at ucsb

So, bascially the class is tough, many people who took IB physics in high school had trouble in his class! It is hard! Final was really difficult but excellent curve. homework kinda hard but not helpful for the tests. study what is from class because it appears on the test! in my class, stuff appeared but nobody new so average was still terrible!

Freund is a fun guy and an alright teacher. he seemed really busy this quarter with other things and didn't put that much time into the class. He was lazy on the midterms and gave us a lot of questions that we had seen in class or clicker questions. Other than that he is pretty easy. If you put enough time in you can get an A.Big curve if necessary

Professor Freund is GREAT. His tests are really hard but if you study how he tells you to study you'll do fine, the curve is huge. He's so nice, helpful, hilarious. ...Hot.

His tests are hard. Study the clicker questions, one of the midterms will be ALL clicker questions and the class avg will suck. Go to class and pay attention since some of his problems come from class examples. The homework wasn't really that helpful, but you need it for your grade, and its not that hard to get a good grade on it.
