NICE GUY. A BIT DISORGANIZED, SOMETIMES LATE AND MISSED 2 CLASSES. EXPLANATIONS NOT ALWAYS CLEAR. ALWAYS WILLING TO WORK W/STUDENTS HAVING A HARD TIME. ALWAYS SHOW ALL WORK ON QUIZ & TEST. PASSED ONE TEST EVEN THOUGH ALL ANSWERS WERE WRONG BECAUSE I SHOWED ALL MY WORK AND USED PROPER FORMULAS.

I actually like Freidenreich a lot. Yeah, he is a little soporific at times, but he knows what he's talking about. I come from a string of subpar math teachers in high school, and Freidenreich is good.

Makes class boring no enthusiam on the subject matter. He's okay though knowledgeable about the material. Wouldn't take him again though.

Cool teacher. He's really funny, just watch him. Helps out a lot and goes with the students' pace.

Pretty much if you come to his class, and do the homework, you can get an A. I never did any of the homework so I got a B, but he explains things really well.

I agree, he is a quirky and funny teacher. However, I also found I learned very well from him. He goes over a lot of examples from the material (not the examples straight from the book as I have found other math teachers doing and which I do not like) and also goes over homework questions before it is turned in. Nice, funny, and knows math well.

He is great to just watch. but he also teaches math really well. if you do ask him a question he will answer with the best of his ability, which is a great ability, he knows his math!!! great prof! he made me like math :)

Very nice guy! Lecture is very boring but if you go to class you will pass the class!

The class is a little boring but i would recommend not missing too many classes unless youre good at teaching yourself from the book. Pretty helpful when you need it.

Funny professor. Patient person. He teaches VERY CLEARLY and makes sure every student understands what he's saying. He moves step by step...SIMPLY CLEAR!

A good choice if you have no choice. Boring lessons because he goes step by step. Tests are not easy sometimes. Hand in homework on time, he cares if u've stapled it or not. He takes class attendance so don't miss too much classes.

He is a great math teacher. He makes Algebra look very easy and is great in teaching it. Very nice too (as long as you are being a respectful student). I hate math but would take his class any day!

He's OK a bit boring but what math teacher isn't? Sometimes funny/weird. Lots of handouts. Pretty easy tests if you do the homework.

Very organized and teaches clearly and step by step. Great teacher for people who have difficulty with math. He responds to students questions patiently and politely without making you feel foolish. He is strict about attendance and homework but he is very fair. I recommend him.

If you do the homework, attend each class and study you will do fine. Sometimes he gets behind in the material but he always makes himself available for extra help during office hours. He was very helpful and flexible to the class and seemed to want everyone to succeed. Weekly homework and about 7 quizzes and 4 tests + final.

Excellent professor, the only way not to pass this class is by not doing homework, or not paying attention for a whole class, he makes good examples, bring a lot of material to class, even brings a few calculators to for people that forget and interact with every single student from class. 100% recommend for someone that ones to learn !!!

At first, he seems strange and has temper tantrums about things like phones or distractions...but once the weak peeps are weeded out, he is an awesome teacher. Very helpful, very fair, obviously you need to work at it. Hard subject, he is a math geek so socially awkward but he is effective. NO TEXTBOOK DO NOT BUY ONE! Just online code.

He gets a lot of flack for his idiosyncrasies but if people swallow their need to have a teacher who babies them, it's a great class. He's an extremely fair teacher, even though he is a bit rough around edges he wants his students to succeed. I'd take him again. Plus he has this sneaky toned chest, so kinda hot.

The material itself was difficult but Mr. F made it fun and easy with a couple of corny math puns. Makes students participate which is extremely helpful for all.

Excellent professor, genuinly cares about his students advancement. Thorough and efficient getting thru the math. Only downside is I wish I bought the code for online mathlab instead of textbook, there is no textbook use. Recommend very much

I worked hard this semester and didn't do as well on final as I hoped, it made my overall grade go down to 89%. Since I held an A all semester and high participation, he took all of my previous work and effort into consideration and I ended up receiving an overall A grade. Some teachers would have said an 89 is an 89, so thank god for him

this professor is fine, i took him for 120 and now stats. he doesnt interact with students, but what student likes to be put in the hot seat to answer a math question? let us have a note card for quizzes and tests. if u dont go to class u miss a section or 2 and will do poorly, but whos fault is that..? recommend.

I took 5 semesters of math at DVC, 3 of them with Mr. Freidenreich, and he is by far the BEST math professor I've ever had! He is knowledgeable and very clear in his instruction. He is patient and will explain concepts further when any student asks questions. Go to class, do the work, and you will get an A. If not, you didn't try. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This professor made me much more confident in my abilities to do well in math. He is patient and respectful with his students. I took Calc 182 and Stats 142. It is important to attend all classes to keep up on the material. He is very helpful during office hours too!

Love him! So nice and WANTS students to succeed. Only gets angry if students are disrespectful. Makes lectures easy to understand and stays after class to clarify material for as long as you need him to. One of my fav professors. You'll do fine as long as you do online hw and try your best on tests. Able to use small note card for quizzes/tests.

He is a great calc teacher but his weakness is teaching the application problems in the first few weeks of class... You have to put in a lot of hours outside of class for an A 2 KEYs: 1 Must buy the student solutions book (the book's examples suck) 2 He has a hard deadline on home work no exceptions, worth a lot of points 25% (I think)

he's great

Professor Freidenreich is a great guy. He lectures extremely slow, but he wants to be extremely sure that everyone understands the material. You can bring a "cheat sheet" on every exam day with whatever you want on it, so you never have to memorize formulas. 6 tests, 1 project, 2 online homeworks/per week.

ElemStats with Freidenreich was super easy! He goes at a very slow pace, going over concepts multiple times. The tests are really easy and he'll replace your lowest test grade with your homework grade. The homework is on WebAssign, which can be really annoying, but it's manageable. He's not the most interesting/greatest teacher, but it's an easy A.

If I am taking time to write this it means that he is a really really good teacher. I got a C in college algebra, and I have high A in stats . He goes over problems 3 times identical to the tests! He goes very very slow, unlike usual math teachers who speed through the lectures. All the tests were so easy!

Prof. F is a great teacher! He likes when students participate. He can be funny, has 8-9 problems on his tests where you show ALL your work, and assigns usually 3 HW assignments for the whole entire week due the following Monday. His tests/homework are based off handouts& doesn't really follow the book. This has been my fav class this semester.

Best math teacher I've ever had. He does work at a slower pace than others, so if that is something that you need, take his class!

good teacher, takes his time with students but that's also a bad thing because he may take too long sometimes. He does show he cares aout you learning the material though and is always open to questions.

Takes his time going over the material to ensure the whole class understands the material. 5 test and 2-3 weekly homework assignments. Hands out worksheet packet for almost every section. Don't follow the textbook 100% but his tests cover the worksheet packet.

He responds to emails, is personable in office hours, alleviates the occasional classroom boredom w/ funny stories, and he is NOT confrontational. Also, he is usually super clear. When he isn't, just ask because he's happy to reiterate. You'll wish that his teaching style was required by law. Great professor.

I had him for pre calc, and he was great. He really cares about his students. Class wasn't to bad. Study all the chapter reviews before each exam and ur get ur A.

He is awesome. A lots of homework and hard tests but if I got an A you can do it too.

He goes a little slow in lecture- but makes everything very easy to understand and is very open to questions.

I took him this spring semester for Math 142 elementary statistics and I really enjoyed his class. He doesn't go through the material too fast so it's easy to understand the concepts. He also lets you use a notecard on the tests. He's overall a super funny and cool professor.

Professor Freidenreich really helped me succeed in this class. When I was struggling, he noticed and gave me really helpful tips. Go to his office hours and always ask for help, he will give it to you. He really wants you to do well. Your cumulative final replaces your lowest test score and he drops your two lowest homeworks.

A solid choice. If you're afraid of math classes, I'd say take his class as he teaches at a nice pace. Most of your grade does come from tests but honestly, they aren't that difficult if you study. Also, there might be some funny laughs here and there during his classes

Professor Freidenreich explains concepts in a very understandable way. I like the way he explained exponents and the exponential model in statistics. Good teacher! Also he teaches you cool ways of finding answer in calculator!

Homework is just problems from the book due every week and a half. Lectures are great he goes at a comfortable pace and tells some funny jokes here and there. on the test, he gives a lot of partial credit which really helps outs. if you show up to most of the classes and do the homework you'll do fine in his class. I highly recommend taking him.

Professor Freidenreich was one of the most helpful people I have had in my academic career. I went to his office many times for help on the homework or test preparations, and he answered every question I asked. The class was difficult but doable if you put in the time. The homework was very helpful when reviewing for tests.

I have a specific math learning disability, therefore math has always been difficult for me, and took Eric based off the reviews here. The test is based off the homework questions, and he basically lectures and goes over the material in class, so people who don't show up are stuck on their own. Even with my disability, I am getting an A so far.

Eric is a great instructor! Very willing to help any and all students keep up. Perhaps a bit too willing, as sometimes class periods fly by without quite all of the day's material having been covered. Friendly, quirky and well-humoured. Would recommend.

Professor Freidenreich is a good professor. He uses worksheets for all his lectures so your doing problems wall learning the chapter/section. There are only 4 test no quizzes and a Final. He really cares a lot about his students and wants to see them all pass his class. He gives extra credit when you do problems on the board.

nice prof. Lots of free points on tests though big help. It does not explain topics very well or clearly. HW is pointless, hard. Do it for the points. Still difficult to get 100. Goes very very slowly on every chapter. Never finishes on time, went over 20 mins of a 2 hr class. Take this class if you just want to be self-sufficient in your learning.

Great, caring professor. Takes an initiative to make sure whole class understands concepts. A little slow on chapters, gets boring if you get the chapter, but those who dont grasps concepts as fast, then right prof. for you then. Gives out MANY extra credit points on chapters test/quizzes. A full letter grade or 10 extra points, on multiple tests

I was surprised to see many negative reviews about this professor. I really enjoyed his online Trig Class. Boring, yes, (it's math) but everytime I asked a question during a lecture he explained everything to me and the way he explained the math made sense to me. Also, I would say he is kind of funny too LOL. The Homework is pretty easy too IMO

While Calculus is a very hard subject, I never dreaded attending Mr. Freidenreich's class. His lectures sometimes went by a bit slowly but he was always there to help his students and genuinely wanted everyone to succeed. Very friendly and funny to talk to and offers plenty of extra credit as well. If you are taking calculus I highly recommend him!

Took this class in Fall '21. Great professor when teaching Calculus and clear when explaining what to do in every unit. Gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. Lectures could be lengthy but you learn everything you need to know. A total of 4 tests, a final exam, and lots of homework. Highly recommend this professor if you want to take Calculus!

He is super nice, really cares about his students. He made Trig enjoyable for me. I'll enroll in any course he teaches.

I'm not sure why his rating is subpar because he is an amazing teacher. Clearly cares for the success of his students, gives extra credit on exams, exams are easier than the homework itself + formatted like handouts and practice tests. Eric is a sweet guy! Take this as a sign to register for his class. Calc was so easy to understand with him!

Was also very surprised by the amount of poor ratings on this professor. Professor Freidenreich was extremely understanding and emphasized how much he wanted the class to succeed. The class was test heavy; however, he gave us chances to get the best grades possible by allowing us to retake our worst exam at the end of the semester.

Seriously, disregard the bad reviews about online experiences. In person Mr. Fredenreich is amazing. He's a little quirky but super caring and endearing and wants everyone to succeed. It's not a free class, but if you do the very reasonable amount of work expected you'll do great. I miss his teaching and his outlines so much in my Calc 2 class.

He's a quirky guy, sometimes he'll just yell really loudly or say something slightly weird, but I don't think he doesn't mean well. You do have to use webassign for his class which is ~$100, but his exams are pretty easy, the quizzes on webassign are much harder than the exams. He gives a lot of ec and hw due dates are pretty long and lenient.

Professor Freidenreich is understanding and wants students to succeed. The class is test-heavy, but he offers chances to improve grades. Unstuck AI was a big help for study prep.
