good teacher. fell asleep most of the time. but from what i remember the times i was awake it was understandable.

He is an amazing, amazing man. I loved this class and this professor. He is extremely helpful and nice. He is completely approachable. You can tell that he sincerely cares about teaching and about the subject. TAKE HIS CLASSES!!

Very good teacher. Resonable work load. People usally would clap after the lectures. Take this guy.

Very well researched and presented lectures.

Freudenburg is a good teacher his lectures are very stright forward and incorperates and effecient use of powerpoint which he leaves fully availible online. He made the class interesting and brought a unique view to environmental problems. The course is easy and you may not even have to take the final. Ultimatly hes a interesting to listen to.

a good guy and a pretty interesting class. he has a tendency to overcomplicate things, making up his own names for concepts that everyone already knows, but other than that i learned a lot. the research paper wasnt bad at all, and i got away with not doing most of the reading. just dont mention his dad. he cried...

I don't think I've ever respected anyone as much as I respect this man. Knowledgeable is a gross understatement when it comes to describing Freudenburg's level of expertise in this field. It gave me great satisfaction to shake his hand after the final and (finally) tell him just how amazing I think he is. Take this class.

He is has a passion for the subject and makes it interesting. Tests aren't too bad. There's just one 8 paged research paper. You could get away with not doing all the reading

Freudenberg is an amazing professor. His environmental studies 1 class is taught very well and he provides so much information and examples to really come off clearly to the class.

This guy is so genuinely in love with what he is teaching. Lectures are interesting and relevant, the readings are long but easy, the essay is doable, and the ta's are helpful. I've got no complaints.

I loved this professor. He was so passionate about this class. Typically students clapped after each of his lectures. He is a genious.

Excellent professor! For perspective, people clapped after most his lectures, and usually for good reason. There's a lot of reading, but it isn't that bad.

Professor Freudenburg is one of the best instructors I have ever had the privilege of studying under. The passion he has for his subject shows through his lectures and is contagious as it spreads interest to all who take the time to listen.

He's a great teacher, and his class is very easy to follow. Theres only one essay and its 8-10 pages long, but u have so much time to do it. He also drops yur lowest test grade.

This class is pretty interesting and really easy. All the notes are online so you don't really need to go to class. Plus, he's way hot!!!!!!

Fredenburg is a really good professor and very passionate about his subject. I went into the class with no real feelings on environmental studies but his lectures really made me appreciate the area of study. i thought the class was interesting and not too difficult. i enjoyed this class and would recommend it.

Good but a lot of reading

All his presentations are online so listen and pay attention, and don't worry about taking notes. A little bit "anti-human" but most enviromentalists are. Do the reading pay attention and all will be fine. BTW very well puit together lectures worth sitting through.

i changed out of a chicano studies class cuz i fell asleep the first lecture n the prof called me out.. so i scrambled for another class n feel i found the one i was meant to take. he totally prepares for the lectures, which are ALL online, TAs are great enviro ppl, totally down for the cause! talk to him n the class will be much more interesting and relevant. hes always in his office doing reasearch and talking to newspapers and trying loves energy n passion! which i got so that helps

You have to show up and pay attention and do the assignments, but he is really really interesting. He talks about things that are current and local. The books are easy and the class is straightforward.

Such a good professor. I came into the class knowing nothing about ES, and still managed to get an A. There is a lot of reading and it helps, but is not totally necessary. Try to get a good TA cuz most things are reviewd in section. Lectures are key since he covers a lot of material!

the books were interesting although dry like hell. freudenburg is a good lecturer but speaks in a monotone. the concepts are interesting and the tas are nice but not too helpful with class concepts but good with the books

Overall I enjoyed the class. It is not difficult to get a decent grade without much effort. The books are dry and repetitive. The first half of the course is much more interesting than the second.
