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.

I LOVE him. Good luck finding another professor that care about their students more than Freund does. During the final I was asking a question and afterwards he check in with me to see if I feel ok about the test. It's so hard to believe ucsb doesnt make him a full time teacher.

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.

PHY6A . Freund E G 8 Years Ago

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.

Freud does a lot of example problems in class. He doesn't really explain the theory behind concepts and doesnt define variables. He changes the problems on the test so they're different from examples in class, so really understand the examples. Don't just try to memorize them. Try to understand the why because that's what will get you the A.

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.

PHYSICS6A . Freund E G 9 Years Ago

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!

PHYS6B . Freund E G 10 Years Ago

Best Physics professor at SB. The physics departments needs to make this guy a full-time professor and not jut the summer. He simplifies all the concepts so that bio majors like myself can actually understand and "enjoy" learning the topics

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.

PHYS6AB . Freund E G 10 Years Ago

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
