Comment:

Professor Freeman is the best professor I have had during my time at Bergen. He is passionate about marketing and has real life corporate experience to back it up. Professor Freeman is strict and direct, but a more than generous grader if you show that you are trying your hardest. He prepares you for life after Bergen, which is rare here at Bergen.

2 Projects and a test every week aren't very difficult if you actually read and study. Participation in forums is important but he always gave helpful feedback if you had any questions or concerns. He genuienly cares to see students succeed in and out of the classroom. My ending grade was an 89 but he gave me the extra point to have an A.

Comment:

Doc Freeman is not the typical prof. He is serious, experienced and really knows his stuff. He worked as a Marketing Director in several big corps. for 25 years before he became a full-time college professor. So, he is business like. Take this course and you will get a real feel for what the business world is really like. I'm happy I took it.

Comment:

His course outline was so clear that I knew exactly what was due for every class. He gives lots of announced quizzes and 4 exams. You MUST read and prepare. If you do, you will do very well. I liked his many stories about the real investments he has made. He showed us part of his brokerage acct. online & how to select mutual funds. Really cool

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!. All he does is make you read the books and test you about it, his lectures consist of him going over a powers point and hardly explaining anything. also, he likes to make fun of students so it makes it very hard to ask questions. ask him for help and he will most like like tell you to drop out the the class.

Comment:

I remember taking Dr. Freeman when I was at BCC. At first he didn't seem to have respect for me. However, I changed my study habits and he became aware. Once he saw how serious I was he started to respect me more. He tries his best to tie the concepts into his professional experience. If he sees you put in effort, he may reward you in the end.

He acts like you should know absolutely everything before even learning it. save your time and money, take a different professor. He is so mean and so rude and would not recommend him to anyone. He barely teaches. he literally spends the entire period talking about his crappy old job.

Comment:

I had prof. freeman last semester. I just happened to see his past reviews. I think several "bad" comments are way over done. OK, he does require students to come prepared, and he is not an easy grader like some other profs. But I did my work, I learned a lot, and I good a good grade. Oh, his jokes can be tough but they are cool. Go for it!!

Comment:

Taking an online class with this Professor was really frustrating. His comments on the case studies were very harsh; gave NO corrections! I did not appreciate being criticized and scolded. Just demeaning your effort overall. I had a lot of anxiety with this class and constantly stressed out. He is the most inconsiderate professor. DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!

Comment:

He's a very blunt and direct man so be prepared for bad jokes and awkward moments. He gives very thorough instructions and that should be enough to pass the class. Online exams are literally from the book, reading through the chapter once was enough for me.

Comment:

This man actually insulted to a point where I started crying. He is the rudest professor I have ever had. If he doesn't understand something you say, he will cut you off and not let you explain. His class isn't hard at all but he also doesn't really teach. I had to learn from the textbook. Anyway DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Dr. Freeman's class adeptly prepares you for a future in a professional work setting. He helps student learn to conduct themselves in a professional manner, whether it be in proper formatting of assignments, preparation for exams and even email etiquette. He wants what's best for your future, and hopefully you'll realize that after, too.

he makes you earn your grade by reading the textbook, the students that complain about him are lazy and the students that appreciate him don't mind working for their grade and actually learning the material. you teach yourself the book and he answers any questions you may have and briefly goes over the chapters. he is an INSTRUCTOR not a TUTOR

Comment:

One of the greatest Professor's I've ever learned from. Really know his stuff from experience, everything you learn will help you in life so listen close. If you don't have tough skin don't take this class, he speaks his mind and jokes around at your expense but all in good fun. You will read the entire book, but it has such great information.

Comment:

Professor Freeman is extremely condescending and rude. He shows no respect for his students and loves to humiliate them in front of the class, especially for international students. He read an international student's paper out loud (without disclosing his/her name) and began to RUDELY criticize the student's grammar. Self-righteous and bigoted.

If you want to pass you must do a lot of reading. There are 8 quizzes (2 you can drop), 4 tests (1 you can drop), and 2 projects. You will not pass the quizzes and tests if you do not read. This class should be required for all college students to take. I learned a lot, the professor has a lot of experience in the working world.

Comment:

This class isn't that hard to teach to yourself. I've done pretty well so far. He however has had no influence on that. He is very rude, quite full of himself, and little help to learning. I've had to teach myself everything using the book. It isn't that hard but I'd defiently go with another professor if available. Would not take again.

Comment:

Awesome professor. If you're open minded and willing to work for your grade you will have no problem. BUS201 online requires a lot of reading and note taking. The weekly tests are challenging, but as long as you take in the material you will be fine. He gives awesome feedback. If you want to pass you HAVE to do the work and try in the course.
