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.

AWESOME

By far my favorite teacher. Really helped me learn. I'm going to try and have my mom meet him when she visits over break. What a catch.

Ernetst rocks but he probably shouldn't wear his purple shorts anymore.

His multiple choice tests were actually really hard and many of the questions were not worded as properly as they should have been. He also doesn't give enough space to work out the problems.

I absolutely love Freund! His tests are so hard but he is so sweet! He is the nicest and most caring professor on campus. Freund is extremely helpful and explains things well. He really cares about his students. I had him for physics 1 and 2 and he is just a really cool guy. his lectures are very entertaining...especially the bowling ball incident

If Professor Freund was a Peacock, he would have the most beautiful tail, but he would have a funny gobble cus that dood is goofy. YA FREUND WOOT WOOT WOOT.

Hottest Prof Ever. Doesnt matter that lectures are mandatory cause you'll want to go anyway, they're very interesting and u have a nice view. As much as i hate physics i think i would take this class again just to look at him. =]

Easy first midterm, impossible second midterm (48% average!), decent final. Freund is a hesitant teacher, but not too bad. I don't see why everyone else says he's "excellent" - he was okay. Not great, not bad. Didn't really prepare us for the stuff that was coming up on the test though. Overall pretty tough class. Lots of homework, too.

Hard midterms and easy final. His lectures were very useful and he did his best to make physics interesting. The textbook is HUGE.

Excellent prof! He is very nice and funny. He really wants you to learn and is great at getting concepts across. The class itself is hard as diamond though, so you better really be ready to study. Nonetheless, Fruend is an excellent prof who will make the class fun and helpful.

All the previous comments are very true. Prof. Freund is the man! I'm taking an 8am class (which is crazy for me) just to have him again.

Very clear in lecture and with his expectations. Nice and cool guy too, hes not too much older than us. Just realize the tests are going to be hard- 40% avgs sometimes- however this is at the demand of the physics dept and not Ernest.

really fun and cool professor!quarter started out with perfect difficulty, i was happy,doing well,aced first midterm,and actually learning physics.then all of a sudden the physics dept. jumped on his back and forced him to make the class harder cuz "its for engineering students".after this point the class started sucking.i learned less & did worse.

Very fun, friendly, and succeeds in sparking interest in the subject. The book is not very valuable, and mastering physics is even worse; (the worst excuse for instruction). Freund is one of the coolest professors I've had here.

Ernest is the best professor I have had from my 3 phyics classes taken here in UCSB. He explained concepts very clearly at a level in which the majority of the students in the class could comprehend. Avg.'s of 60%s were a lot better than the 40%s with Reese's classes.

Ernest has got to be the hottest professor I have ever seen. I took his class and actually went to every lecture. Such a GREAT teacher! His demos are hilarious, and he is just so much fun. I am so upset that he's not in sb anymore...wut am I going to do without Ernest for B and C??

Hottie! Made class totally fun, I actually like physics now.

Ernest was THE best physics teacher that I have ever had. He made concepts easy to understand and if you go to class you'll ace the tests no problem. I went to class everyday, which is surprisingly easy for the ladies due to how incredibly HOT Ernest is. His demos were hilarious and his tests are exactly like the practices he puts online. :) :)

Ernest is an awesome teacher! I hated physics 6a, but he made the last two classes in the series bearable. he has fun demos and a fun guy to talk to outside of class. highly reccomended, although he won't be in sb anymore, which sucks.

First of all...he is the hottest teacher on campus!!! He is a fair teacher..his test are fair if u study..i recomend to study his review sheets and to read every chapter he teaches...trust me!!! His lectures are not that boring..he is a funny guy and hot!..haha.. so TAKE HIM!

he's so hot...i skipped a lot of classes but his...i went to every class meeting. This is the standard of being a professor, is to help generate interest in students to learn more. I'm already crazy about physics before i took his classes. Now I am feeling the excitement again. If I'll become a professor Ernest Freund is my role model!!!

Great Physics teacher - made class fun, interesting, and taught exactly what would be on the test. IF you can take him, it's the best opportunity for Physics 6B. He rocked. A+
