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.

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

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

PHYS6C . Freund E G 10 Months Ago

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.

PHYS6ABC . Freund E G 11 Months Ago

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!!!

PHYS6B . Freund E G 1 Year, 15 Days Ago

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.

Practice tests are identical to the actual tests. He has videos online about the topics and even the lectures are entertaining. Makes a ton of jokes and I enjoyed going to class. A lot of homework. Physics is my weakest spot, but he helped me understand concepts better.

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

6A . Freund E G 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

I have always had trouble with physics, but Freund made it easier to grasp which was enough for me to pass. literally do all the recommended problems and the practice exams, and you'll do fine because his midterms/final are literally the same. I caught on too late plus I just suck at physics in general, which is why I barely passed, but it's doable

I think that he is very fun and entertaining with his lectures but it can be a bit hard to grasp the concepts. At least he posts lecture videos so you can stay on top of everything. Make sure to do all his practice problems as he copies them exactly on his tests. Main downside is that tests make up 84% of your grade so be careful with them.
