Kind but super disorganized which obviously impacts the organization and structure of the course.

Professor Freeman is a sweet, knowledgeable, and passionate teacher who loves her subject and does her best to teach her class. She is not tech savvy and often has trouble when it comes to canvas and lectures. The homework is light & the worst part of the class is the readings and the exams/essays. But I would take her class again in a heart beat!

She's very kind but sometimes disorganized. Overall the class content is easy to follow if you pay attention and are willing to engage.

Lectures were very bland but had a lot of information packed in them. She made the final take home and said it was possible to complete in 3 hours--writing 1250 words for one big essay and then 1200 for 3 small essays is not it.

Freeman is a nice lady. Attendance was not mandatory. Because of this, most people didn't show up to lecture. Her lectures were very dry and weren't engaging. She told the TA to grade harshly on the final due to lack of attendance when it wasn't even required. TA Sterling was a chill guy but a very harsh grader. Review the syllabus frequently.

Im not gonna lie this is one of the worst professors, I've ever come across throughout my time in UCSB, and Ive seen some pretty bad ones. (e.g. Nall, Moosebreiger, and Felicity Stone-Richards. Don't take this class, and also don't take any class with Laffy Taffy.
