Professor Freemans class is really easy, she loves what she does and has travelled around the world. There are 3 exams and the final. Multiple choice, matching definitions, short essay. If your part of DSPS office, please take her, she is extremely helpful and caring. She wants all her students to pass her class

Really easy as long as you read the presentation she made with all the information needed for the assignments. One discussion post per week. You have three big exams and video questions which is where you watch a video and answer about three questions. Easy and fun.

Professor Freeman is one of the best professors I've had at FC, she is very caring for her students grades and is very helpful. She provides extra credit and does allow you to turn in late work if you communicate with her. Some modules have lots of reading but she does input visuals for visual learners like myself. Do your work and you will pass.
