you won't get in off the waitlist, don't bother

Freedman is a fantastic professor, very funny and knowledgeable. Assignments and quizzes aren't too hard, and no midterm.

Fantastic professor. You end up learning a lot.

Great Class!

Professor Freedman is a very good lecturer, and the course material is interesting. There is a lot of reading assigned, but you don't have to do it if you go to class. There are two papers, neither of which are too difficult. Overall the class is interesting and pretty easy, I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the subject.

Do not take. WAY overrated. If you do take it, don't both buying the textbook. And go to class.

be sure to get justin peck-- his sections are hilarious and he is extremely chill and never runs over. he also really does a good job of going over the class info while still incorporating new current events

Freedman makes the lecture itself very enjoyable. This class involves a ton of reading, and by the end of the semester, most people have stopped doing all of it. Two good-sized papers. Midterms aren't bad.

great class, his lectures are awesome, his tests are fair, steve was a great TA...well designed class with interesting material

good class, fun info, pretty easy, although freedman tends to repeat info a lot. go to lectures and take good notes and you should be fine.
