Freymiller is an excellent professor. It is biology, so yes, there is a lot of information and studying, but it's still managable. He has the course supplement to use for notes, so you never need to open your book, unless you need clarification. Definitely recommend... you'll learn a lot!

Freymiller is a great prof. He is crystal clear, articulate, and tells you EXACTLY what you need to know. The only hard part about the class is putting the gigantic amounts of info. into your memory.

Not much to say, he did an admirable job. The biggest boon was the subject matter itself and the biggest hinderance was the environment. A large, warm room at 8AM is simply not a great environment for learning. He is however, very open if you have questions or concerns.
