Such a great class. Freedman is very interesting and funny. Reading can be heavy, but its still interesting. Going to class is the best part about taking this class - I always learned something new.

Getting a good TA is essential - I got a terrible one, discussions were a complete waste of time. Freedman gives great lectures, but they are not about the reading - he gives you modern-day context to understand the material. Exams are easy if you go to class and skim the readings. He really harps on knowing which author wrote about what more than the content itself.

Good class, pretty interesting lectures that go back and forth between new material and stuff that you should know anyway. Loved the campaign ad stuff. He's an engaging lecturer as well and the tests and papers are easy enough.

Lots of excessive reading, but interesting nonetheless.

The class is not near as good as the hype. Lectures are boring and unsubstantial and the reading is dry. The campaign commercial analysis is the only good part.

pretty interesting class. exams are kinda hard since he talks about non-testable info in his lectures. hes a dynamic speaker, but goes off on tangents. lots of readers, but its a decent class

This is a very bad class. It is boring and substanceless, and you will learn nothing of value. Good only as a gut.

Great class, great professor.

Overrated gut course. Freedman's lectures were completely worthless, and the readings were god-awful boring. Freedman read straight from his PowerPoint slides, and 25% of each lecture was redundant material from the previous one. Worth it only if you need the 300-level PLAP.

He is a great lecturer and genuinely interested in his students
