Professor Freeman was AWESOME! If I had to take more English-related course, I would have definitely taken him again. He cares about his students, but don't miss too many classes - he will drop you like a hot potato if you miss more than 3. All of his assignments bleed into the next, so if you keep up and do all assignments you'll get an A.

DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! The way he set up canvas is very hard to work with, you have to look for the assignment to find it because he wouldnt just simply put it in the modules. Not a fair grader, I had a problem with on of my assignments, that I actually did the work for, and he couldnt see it so he took that out of my grade. Gives A LOT of work.

I have had this Professor before. For face to face class. I passed the class with an easy A. But this semester it was terrible. You are unable to see your final grade in the class. He takes FOREVER to grade and he is unfair. Do not take him. Or at least for online classes. Good luck if you take him. You'll need it.

Lots of homework

This professor is unorganized and has every other priority above teaching his class. Theres 3 big papers, which is nice, but he grades them about a month and a half after they're submitted, which gives you no time to reflect in order to improve for your next. He is continuously out of town and unable to get a hold of. Also, really hard grader.

Despite the reviews saying he is a harsh grader, I found him to be quite the opposite. Often times, I submitted an essay I thought was utter trash and came out with a 99%. Anytime I had a question, I received a reply within 24 hours or less. Though he was often behind on grading and did not always provide feedback, he is a solid choice for ENC1102

Professor Freeman was really nice, and I felt bad he had to rearrange everything because of covid, but we didn't even get to our poetry unit because he was so disorganized. For an English professor, he had a decent amount of typos, and I didn't feel like I got clear feedback from my papers. Very kind, helpful & accessible outside of class, tho.

Professor Freeman was so kind, personable, and hilarious. He organizes his class by the week. Be ready to read and write! He gives great feedback on your papers so you can submit solid final drafts. I took this class for 6 weeks in the summer and it was intense (time wise) but if you write your papers and do your discussions you will get an A!

David W. Freeman is nice, in terms of personality traits, but I hate how even if he sees certain students in the classroom during roll call, he marks students absent, anyway. The worst thing about him, though, is that he makes students buy a blue book (known as "The Little Seagull"), which nobody ever uses in class. What terrible a waste of money.

Professor Freeman is a real character. He cares a lot about writing and his students. His class is based on participation and interaction in conversations. His classwork is week by week, on the home page which is kind of hard to navigate sometimes. Which is the only problem I have. But overall his class is interesting, very funny, and easy to pass.

As a person 10/10 but as a proffesor is not great, if you want an easy class and WRITE A LOT sometimes unorganized and petty thing may get to him in online work. So pls be aware of unorganization and randoms date changes.

He is an amazing professor! There are a lot of easy discussions, his lectures are very clear and he gives good feedback on the 3 papers, plus he is always available for a chat or email. He has a bit of an issue with his canvas arrangement, but he is very fair and clear on when things are due and their criteria. Just be present and do the work.

Gives great feedback and is very funny. The only problem is he is likely the most disorganized teacher i've ever had, and it ended up causing me a lot of stress. He is a great teacher though, and I would recommend if you're able to manage your time well. Overall great but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Please don't come to this class unprepared. Also, make sure you read all your assignments and be ready to talk about them. His feedback is helpful on your essay papers. If you do the work, you will pass. Don't do the work or come to class and you will fail. Take him.

Professor Freeman is an engaging teacher who makes the class enjoyable. While the textbook requirement is questionable, his lessons and feedback are very helpful. Using Unstuckstudy along with the course materials helped me stay on top of the work and do well in the class.

Professor Freeman is legit the best English Professor I've ever came across in my entire life. Taking this course and learning from Professor Freeman is like taking a magic school bus ride through the beautiful reads and writings of the renaissance era. I would not pay attention to any of the low ratings on here people are just mad at the world.🌅

I took Mr.Freeman in the fall in a face to face class. We had been given essays and discussions post for the semester but it was only like 4 essays. He wants people to talk in that class and have good conversations with him but participation isn't mandatory. Overall he would sometimes push back due dates if the class agreed. He's a decent teacher.

Took him online. He's not very organized. During the first week, he gave us 22 assignments that were all due by the end of the week. He also graded assignments very late and didn't even submit my grade for report card, which made it marked as “M.” I wouldn't take him again.
