I totally loved Prof. Freed. He was very hilarious and he explained everything in ways that really made sense. Nobody in our class dared to laugh audibly at his jokes and comments, but I had to refrain from cackling. You'll have to be in class for the hotseat questions which aren't hard at all. I suggest you go to review sessions because they are pretty helpful.

Professor Freed is very straightforward. His class is easy as long as you show up and at least somewhat pay attention. You have o study a good amount for the exams but they are fair and far between.

Prof. Freed understands that most of his students are looking to fulfill their science elective credit, so he makes this class as easy as possible. His exams are based on the study guides he gives, which are also from the slides. You'll have to go to 20 out of 22 classes to get hotseat points. No worries though because he has interesting lectures.

Freed is truly concerned about the welfare of all 200+ of his EAPS106 students. Highly knowledgeable in his field, you can tell immediately that quite a bit of work has been put into his curriculum. There was frequent rambling in his lectures, However he always completes what he needs in order to dismiss the class in time.

You can really say that Doctor Freed is passionate about what he teaches and it shows in his lectures. He'll answer your questions in the Hotseat and allow a lecture hall of 400 listeners. You have to put in effort on your work for the class. It's very doable and you'll learn a lot though.
