his tests are hard, but he curves greatly. he's a little odd, but the sweetest professor I've ever had. he went above and beyond to help me with the class and graduation requirements. He's great.

Comment:

He is very busy, did not help me or answer my question. I was very lost. I had no conversations with him because he has a brick wall around himself. He has people he likes better because I got no where with him. He never acknowledged me.

Comment:

Oh my gosh please people! He is the most helpful prof I have had. I visited his office on many occasions and he was a little odd but is a good teacher. He was the head of the department so I got in good with him and he wrote me the BEST letter of recommendation for grad school. All my other classes were easier than middle school.

Comment:

I know I am one of those students who use Rate My Professor religiously....about Freedman: he lacks clarity during every lecture which makes it nearly impossible to understand what he is trying to teach. There is a lot of information to learn but the class is not impossible. Overall though, Freedman has made me a better writer.

Comment:

First of all, don't bother buying the textbook because he doesn't refer to it at all. Exams are based off his powerpoint slides. He doesn't take attendance, but coming to class will help. He talks very fast, goes off on tangents, and makes awkward comments during his lectures. Smart man, but I would not recommend him for any class.

Comment:

What a waste of money. Try asking a question and he doesn't listen to what you say he just answers what he wants to talk about. Referred to a girl in class as a repeat offender.I will be teaching myself. He also had the nerve to talk bad about other professors. He thinks because he has to give a 30% curve on exams makes him a good professor.

Comment:

Dr. Freedman is known to be one of the harder professors but I found in this class, that was extremely helpful! He also allowed many drafts of your major paper and gave you feedback as the semester went on with how to improve your work. He CAN help you out, as long as you ask!

As a person i like him alot, but he is very hard to understand. His test make no sence and do not relate to his lectures. I found things on his test that where never mentioned in class. I do not recommend taking a class with him,

Comment:

I personally like this professor, need a sense of humor to enjoy him though. He is very knowledgeable and ive learned the most from this professor. However his classes are not easy like most others. Requires the students to know how to learn and retain information. If you're looking for an easy A move on, if you really want to learn take him.

Comment:

You don't want to take Statistics with him if you can help it. We didn't do most of the labs, and his lectures were awful. Most of the class he spent talking about how he has no time to prepare for and teach it, or eating lunch.

Very good teacher but hard to follow. Grade based on three test or if you really want he will let you write a 15 page paper on his choice of topics. If GPA is important to you don't take him.

Comment:

Not a bad guy just not a great teacher. He is difficult to listen to and understand. I did not learn much because he is hard to understand/figure out. Only after the class is done do I understand more of where this prof is coming from. Study and memorize his powerpoints. Grade is based on 3 tests only but the grade curve is usually excellent.

Comment:

He will damage your GPA because he does not explain things straight forward. There is nothing to read to help you except a little few words on his study guides and slides. I don't know about you but I need things to read so I can understand in more depth!

Comment:

Dr. Freedman is not a bad teacher. He is sometimes hard to understand but that is because he is so well rehearsed on the topic of cognition. He gave me good grades he doesnt use a text so you save money. I found him to be a great professor.

Comment:

he was alright. i didnt buy a text book and just my luck, he doesnt use one. the study guide is your only chance of passing the exams, (though they were kinda easy). its a good thing he has those slides set up. attendance to that class will help anyone success. i realized that whenever i skipped classes, i didnt do well on the exam

Comment:

Really? This guy is a joke. I'm sorry, but it is almost impossible to pass his class with a decent grade. He constantly goes off on random tangents & really makes it difficult to understand anything he says, DO NOT BUY THE BOOK,its $150 wasted because you will never open the wrapper to it. Only thing interesting about him is his unique tie selecti
