She has to be one of the best professors I've ever had. Now don't take that for meaning she's easy, she's not. But she supplies you with everything you need to be successful in her class. If you don't use it, that's your fault. Her enthusiasm is a major plus! This lady has connections...if you're an acct. major utilize her. She's the BEST!

She is the best and why I pay the high tuition at USC. If you don't take her you are wasting your money.

Very clear, to the point, gives lots of examples. Explains well too.

she is a great professor. she is fun energetic and if you don't pass it's simply because you simply did not go to class. I just do the hw "sometimes" and go to class and i'm doing quite well. I don't really ask her questions cuz she looks at you like you're stupid, but all i can say is pay attention and it will pay off. Take care. Worth the tuition

Amazing Prof! Actually made accounting enjoyable for me. Just show up to class and you're set.

I don't know what those others are talking about. Maybe they just don't have a sense of humor and don't like to work. She is a great professor.

I really recomend taking 410 with professor freed, she puts so much time into her lectures and is always available to help. she actually made accounting fun, which is not an easy task. The class was hard but she made sure you got it and the tests are fair. She has a great sense of humor and uses it to make the class amazing!

Prof. Freed truly cares about her students and their development. She provides extended offices hours before all tests and a review before the final. Most professors might only add an hour before a final, but Prof. Freed provides days with extra hours. She breaks down the concepts into easy to understand concepts. She makes learning accting fun.

GREAT professor!!! her lectures are great and she really cares about her students. If you are an accounting major she prepares you very well for the 370 series classes. She tells you exactly what material will be covered on exams so there is no reason to not get an A in her class.

Most helpful and caring professor I have had at USC.

I love her. She makes me love accounting and she's so helpful and so nice!! The best professor I've ever had. TAKE HER!

Absolutely, positively, without a doubt, bar none the best teacher at USC. If you're lucky enough to take her class thank your lucky stars and enjoy it while it lasts because it's all downhill from here!

Overrated, and sometimes kinda mean. This one poor guy would ask questions and she would get mad and basically tell him he's an idiot. If your 10 seconds late to class she gets so mad she almost explodes and then docks you down 2309482304932 points. Means well, and very knowledgeable, but I hated her in lecture. However, she's the best 305 prof

The professor is very strict and does not tolerate rude behavior in class which is good for students that really care about the class. She is extremely helpful and gives you everything you need to be sucessful in this class. Take her, she is worth the high tuition at USC.

Listen here, take this teacher for BUAD 305 if possible. I should have failed the class with around a D-. She gave me a C+ for hard work, I'm assuming. Very energetic and fun. Quizzes every other week. A few tests. One big group project/presentation on a company. Not too bad

305 is a transfer class, as a transfer student I highly suggest it. She is not easy, but if you were looking for an easy prof why would you be at USC in Marshall. Yes showing up to class on time is a must, but showing up to work on time is important too. She covers alot in class so for questions officer hours are a must. In the end she is amazing!!

One of the most caring professors ever. If accounting is not your forte, dont worry - she really values those who work hard and try. Homework is a must, attending class is a must. Go to her office hours - get help there. May act a little crazy sometimes, but its she's fun. Will get a C if you try, and most likely better than that with effort.

She is the best!! I learned a lot but did work hard in the class.

Professor Freed was a tough teacher, but she is fair and has a passion in teaching her students. If she knows you try she will not fail you. Do your homework, go to class, show improvement on your tests and you will get a solid grade in that class. Freed is an amazing Professor and you are lucky to be in her class.

If you want to learn about accounting, definitely take Freed. She is not the easiest professor but if you go to her office hours often and make the effort, you'll do fine. Do all the homework, READ, visit her and you are set!

Best Professor Ever~~~~~!!!Take her!!!!

Freed sets high expectations for her students and has a very low tolerance for slackers. She can at times be "crazy," rude, and impatient, but is extremely energetic and has a passion for accounting. Her class inspired me to become an accounting major. It's been said many times on here already, but go to her office hours (best advice I can give).

Best professor I have ever taken. Extremely helpful. Gives you what you need to be successful. Going to class and office hours is a must! Staying up with the class is important. Take her!

Great professor! Make sure to participate in class and show an active interest in learning. She is helpful if you need help and wants her students to succeed. I'd take more classes with her if I could but by the end of the semester I decided to switch to accounting as my major because of this class.

SHE IS THE BEST! Class is challenging but the professor provides what you need to be successful. I have now switched my major to accounting as a result of this professor.

If your accounting background is not solid. Do not take this class. She goes through one chapter per class. Which very fast pace. Prepare to work like crazy..

Professor Freed is by far the best professor I have ever taken! She is demanding but she gives you everything you need, detailed slides, practice problems for exams, extra office hours for exams and team presentations. If you want to understand, accounting, finance and overall business strategy, she is the professor to take!

Great professor if you really want to understand not just accounting but business as well. Very helpful and caring.

She is one of the best Accounting Professor I've had. She is very animated and loves accounting. This class will demand a lot of time but you will learn tons as well. She will always explain to you in her office hours if you don't understand the material. Don't fall behind and just keep up and you will do fine.

TAKE HER!! Professor Freed is one of the hardest working professors. She provides powerpoint slides for classes, practice problems for exams and lot's of office hours if you need help. She had TA's that are also very helpful.

This class was tough! If you don't have a decent or good background in accounting then you probably shouldn't take this class. She's helpful and has lots of office hours,but some of the comments about her personality are true. What's upsetting is that she makes the test hard, but doesn't provide adequate time to finish especially the final!

Great Teacher. very interested in her students and sports. come to class prepared though because she moves quickly.

Great professor to take! Provides you with a good transition from community college to USC. Always available to help. TAKE HER!

Prof Freed is amazing! She is tough but genuinely cares for ALL of her students. Her class was one of the most challenging and rewarding classes I've taken at USC and I wouldn't change the experience for all the world! Thanks Prof. Freed!!!

Professor Freed races through the material, so pre-class preparation is key. Still, her lectures are very organized and clear; doing all the HW/practice questions basically guarantee an A on the exam. Relevant examples, interesting class overall. She is definitely very enthusiastic about accounting and it rubs off.

Freed is a superb professor! She has HIGH expectations of her students, but she gives you everything you need to be successful. Take advantage of her office hours and build a relationship with her. It will pay off. She's WELL CONNECTED, and quite honestly an amazing person. She really preps her lectures and it shows. DO THE READING AND HW daily!

Freed is a great teacher, and she knows what she is talking about. However, she is really strict and can be mean on a lot of days. She is also really fast and gets mad if you ask her to repeat something. She is much nicer in her office hours so it helps to go to them.

She takes attendance everyday and gets very upset if you are even a little late. She collects HW every week so you must do it. She is helpful during office hours and lots nicer in office hours. She goes over a lot of information in each class and pays attention to who is there, who leaves, who did HW, etc. The class requires a lot of work.

Professor Freed is one of the best professors I have every taken. She encourages her students to do well and provides the materials to help them. Her lectures are clear and she provides printed slides for every class. Go to office hours if you need help, she has lot's of them. She also helps you with unrelated class stuff, like how to get jobs.

Without a doubt the best professor I have ever taken!! She is very strict but fair. She is willing to help you. She provides slides for each class and practice problems for exams with lot's of additional office hours. Take her!

Professor Freed is simply AWESOME!! She is very knowledgeable and a sassy professor. She is like a mother who wants the best for you! Her exams are not easy which means you really need to keep up with your work from day 1. If you do so, an A wouldn't be too far away. TAKE HER!!

Professor Freed is such an awesome teacher! She cares much about her students, although her class is very hard. Her class is organized & goes fast with slides that she hands out. She prepares you for the outside world & hates late attendance, so don't be late! Homework is a must, & try to attend her office hours, she's totally worth getting to know

Great professor. Hard grader. Be sure to attend the classes, get a lot of participation points. Dont forget to do homeworks. Quiz and midterms are not hard but need study. Final harder than the rest.

Professor Freed is the best teacher I have had at USC thus far. She expects a lot out of her students, but that is because she gives a lot of effort to her students. She's prepared, organized and prints out slides for every class for everyone. She talks about relevant topics and gives feedback and grades back hastily. She is fiery but a sweetheart.

Professor Freed was absolutely incredible! Though, this class was extremely hard and the main task is to keep up and to not procrastinate! Freed became a second Mom to the entire class because she really cared and made sure everyone fully comprehended what we were doing at all times. Take a lot of notes and pay attention to the details!

You will have to make accounting your life to get an A

Prof Freed is caring. Class starts and ends on time. Takes attendance. Difficult class to get an A in. Easy B, B+. If you are an accounting major, take her you will learn. Has a big group project that is time consuming, but interesting, fun, and useful. Would recommend if you are willing to work for it, if not, better take somebody else.

Oh, Freed. She's truly one of a kind, and I'm not sure I mean that in a good way. To be fair, she is a very committed and good professor, and she expects that same commitment from her students. Get ready to work. I recommend going to her TA's office hours because she only wanted to converse or mock your questions in her's. Def get on her good side!

Professor Freed was hands down the best professor I've ever had. She knows her material, is very organized, and expects a lot from her students. If you're looking for an easy A, this is not the class for you. However, if you work hard and show interest in class, you will do just fine.

Freed really cares about her students and whether they learn from her class, more so than any other professor I've had. During office hours, she is extremely helpful and will give tips on studying for her tests and quizzes. That said, her class is a lot of work and takes more time than my other classes (and I'm not even an accounting major).

Professor Freed really cares about her students. Gives you practice problems similar to what will be on the exams. However, you must go to office hours to get the answers to the practice problems. Is very willing to help her students. Would take her class again.

Her lectures are clear and concise. She knows what she is talking about. Very good at teaching Accounting. Take her, she is a good professor but don't expect a nice person. Passive agressive and picks on students at times. Tests are similar to sample problems. The pbs are straightforward, the hardest is the MCQ (almost 2% per question)!Be careful!

She's very organized and sometimes hints whats on tests and quizzes, which is GREAT. Attendance is part of participation points but she lets you give articles for extra participation points. Tests are quite tough but highly doable as long as you really understand the concepts. She's a very lenient grader and she's hilarious! I learned so much!

Professor Freed is a great teacher. She is clear with her content and what she expects you to know for each test and quiz. She has an attitude which you just have to get used to and if you need help she offers many office hours with her and her instructor's aids. Overall she is excellent, just make sure you keep up with the content every week.

AMAZING professor! She really cares about her students, but the class is not easy. You will have mandatory homework for each class, and attendance is very important. You have to work for that A (doable), but you walk out of that class knowing more accounting than most intro classes. Highly recommend if you genuinely want to learn about accounting!

One of my favorite professors as USC. She is a hard professor, but you will pass her class knowing accounting (fyi she passes everyone, but you will learn). You have a huge accounting project and presentation to do, but it was really fun! Tests are difficult, but manageable.

Professor Freed hands down is the best professor I have taken at USC. She makes accounting interesting and applies it to the real world. She expects students to work hard and come prepared for class. She does not like lazy students or bad team members. Would take her again!!!

She is the best professor in USC. I always enjoyed her lectures and other information that she told me during class or office hours! Especially the final presentation was the best experience during USC.

What I love best about this professor is that she is well prepared and does not like slackers . It is amazing that students pay so much to go to USC and then don't engage in class. Those students complain that she is mean when they are five slides behind the class and she passes them over. Take her and you will be prepared for the business world.

She is undoubtedly the best professor I have ever had. She is always well prepared and does not like slackers . If you go to her office hours and put in effort she will reward you and your life will be much easier. She is so caring, hilarious, and passionate about accounting and her students. You would be crazy not to take a class with her!

Professor Freed is awesome! She is ALWAYS clear on what she expects. You will do good in her class if for quizzes you do the practice multiple choice, for exams you go through the practice problems and review your homework problems, and if you go to her office hours if you don't understand something, which she has a lot.

Professor Freed is great at explaining difficult concepts. She expects students to come prepared and to participate. 2 tests and 3 quizzes for financial and 1 test and 2 quizzes for managerial. 1 group project. Overall she is an amazing professor that really prepares you very well. Lot of work but worth it! Would highly recommend.

Professor Freed is extremely passionate and knowledgable about accounting. She has a VERY clear set of criteria and expects her students to work hard. If you want an A you have to put in the work. You will for sure learn a lot from her class. She literally tells you everything you need to know to get an A, so the rest is up to you.

She's a strict professor and there's a lot of work, but none of it is difficult. She only does this because she genuinely wants everyone in the class to learn. If you come to class, do the homework, and aren't an jerk and blame your bad grades on the teacher, then you will learn accounting in this class and never forget it. One of the best at USC.

Professor Freed is awesome! If you are going to major in accounting you should take her. She will provide you with a solid foundation and when you take ACCT 370 it will be a breeze. HW is assigned before you cover the topic but it is graded on completion not accuracy. She provides practice problems, which will be similar to the ones on the exam.

Professor Freed is an amazing professor. She prints out slides for every class. Grades homework for completeness not correctness. Provides practice problems for every exam and additional office hours. The team project was so much fun and the presentations were hilarious. If you are lazy and rude don't take her. If you want to learn take her.

Most caring and enthusiastic professor I have taken at USC. She prints out her slides for every class. She does make us to homework on chapters before she lectures on them. They are graded for completeness not correctness. I hated this at first but then realized she was making me stay up with the class so I would not have to cram at the last minute

Prof Freed is one of the only professors that will actually teach you Accounting. She knows her stuff. However, you must keep up to date with the homework and actually do it. The lecture's will be based on the previous nights homework and you will not understand them if you have not read the text book. She is very clear on what she expects.

Her lectures are based on her slides which she posts and gives them to students. Shes judgy and straight forward, basically she says whatever she wants to say. Comes off like a know it all, but overall shes a caring professor. Shes not a very tough grader and gives lots of partial credit. 1 TEAM project that is weighed the same as exams.

Over all I very enjoyed her class. She wants everyone to come to office hours but then wants to chit chat and gossip instead of going over practice problems. It's a lot of self teaching because the class is so condensed. She expects you to know and understand ALL the material before getting to class, but she does care a lot about her students!

There is homework from the textbook for every class but it only takes 20-30 mins. She is a great teacher and really shows she cares for the student. I had no interest in Accounting before taking this class but she still made it interesting and showed why it was a valuable subject.

Everyone complains because they think she's mean, but honestly she just expects a minimum level of competency. There's definitely a lot of work to do, but you also learn just as much. She may say mean things, but if you just toughen up a bit she's actually a lot of help. Definitely wouldn't recommend if you just wanna laze your way through for an A

She knows a lot about the subject and has tons of experience as a public accountant - just check our her CV on the Marshall faculty page. She is the top BUAD 305 professor for prospective accounting majors. The grading criteria is clear and there is one group project. She does lack patience for under-prepared students, which is understandable.

Prof Freed is the best! She's honestly one of the best professors at USC. She helped push me to become an acct major and she is so fun to talk to outside of class. However, you definitely have to work for your grade, and you can't just expect an A. You have to do all of the HW, study for the 3 exams, and do well on the TEAM project. She's the GOAT!

Amazing prof - prints slides for every lecture, extremely clear grading criteria, and studying for exams is simple if you do the practice problems. Lectures are fast-paced because the course covers both financial and managerial accounting, so make sure to go to her office hours!

Prof. Freed is an amazing professor. She is great at breaking down concepts from the book in every lecture, and I advise if you want to go to Leventhal, she is the professor that is going to prepare you. She is very nice, and if you go to her office hours, she goes through every concept, and even makes sure your dressed properly for interviews! TY!

She's a pretty solid professor. Sometimes she's a little harsh, but I honestly feel like she cares. If you do the reading for each class, it won't be too hard. The practice multiple choice questions help a lot; do those and the practice problems when studying for quizzes and exams. If you can handle (sometimes harsh) criticism it's a good class.

Chrislynn is extremely caring and generous when you get to know her and show that you are dedicated towards success in her class. She wants to see your effort and will reward you for it. Go to office hours whenever you can and ask questions so you can ensure your success.

The homework is not difficult and is pretty useful for keeping up and understanding content. I think she takes the questions personally as though she has failed to explain and ends up getting defensive. However, you will learn so much about accounting! She does a good job of keeping the lectures engaging even though they are 2 hours its impressive.

Prof Freed was the best prof I've had at USC. Although it was her first time teaching 281, she was amazing and I learned more than I imagined. She was always very caring and always wanted her students to do the best they could. Accounting is difficult, but she gives her students all the tools to succeed. I 10000% recommend prof Freed to everyone

she is super caring and nice. genuinely being one of the most approachable and caring professors I've had yet. especially in Marshall, it's rare to find professors who actually seem human. the class is difficult but I genuinely felt like I learned because she does a really good job simplifying the material and telling you exactly what to study for.

Professor Freed fights for her students' success and wants everyone to have the same opportunity to do well. If you visit her office hours, it is very helpful and she treats all students equally. The group activities during class are very helpful in going over the information and gives everyone a chance to participate and learn.

Class is fast-paced but Professor Freed makes every effort to answer questions and gives good practice problems. As long as you talk to her, she is willing to help out and is very understanding of what everyone is kinda going through right now too.

One of the best professors I have taken at USC. What she taught me helped me with my interviews for IBanking and consulting jobs. Too bad she retired.
