This professor has high expectations but she cares a lot about her students. You'll have really interesting discussions in this class and watch some interesting video clips. Take this professor if you can!

Professor Friedman is great. Before this class i had no interest in education but she made the class an enjoyable one to come to. She is super clear on everything and most importantly is super fair. If you complete the work assigned you will get an A. Highly recommend this class!

Easiest class I have ever taken at Towson. Just do the work, and you should get an A no problem. She literally gave me As on everything. Really nice teacher also, always really happy and in a good mood. Professor Friedman is always looking to help, and is incredibly organized and prepared. Skipped class too much, only thing holding me back from A+.

Best teacher I have ever had. She is the nicest, most fun teacher, I wish I could take her for more classes. TAKE HER

Professor Friedman is the nicest, most genuine person. She cares SO much and makes it so easy for you to succeed in her class. Work is not bad, just do it. She is very aware of the work load she gives you and is very understanding. TAKE HER

Professor Friedman is the sweetest person I have ever met. She loves what she teaches and cares for the well-being of her students. Her classes are basically all discussion and participation does matter. The topics are very interesting and she keeps the class motivated to do well.

Passionate, caring, and funny. She expects a lot from her students but sets them up for success from the very beginning. A couple group projects and one final paper. No written exams or blackboard assignments. As long as you show up and participate in class discussion, you're almost guaranteed an A.

Professor Friedman is awesome. She always came to class with lots of positive energy, funny stories, and a love for teaching. The topics covered were interesting to read and learn about. Class is mostly centered around class discussion, so come to class! No tests, just some group projects and a final paper. Highly recommend taking this class.

One of the best professors I've ever had at Towson. She brings class to life & structures her class in a way that it's not hard to learn, or do well in grade wise. The work load is handleable. She CARES are her students, you'll know it. She brings something different & refreshing to a classroom that I haven't seen in my 4yrs. You will do well.

Professor Friedman is the best professor I've had at Towson so far. She is so out of this world. Such a breath of fresh air. Her passion for education is undeniable. She respects her students and genuinely care about them. She has high expectations for each student but is very willing to help whenever she can. Please take her!

Professor Friedman is very passionate about Urban Education. She shares many personal stories and thoughts, so the mood for the class is conducive for positive reflection, which is what the assignments are focused on. The downfall of this class was the two heavily weighted group projects. Make sure everyone does their part!

One of the nicest people I have ever met. She makes this class manageable because she knows not everyone is an Education Major. She makes it really interesting still, even for other majors, and is so nice you enjoy going to class. I have a ton of respect for Professor Friedman and wish I had a reason to take another class with her

I absolutely LOVE Professor Friedman! I took this class in order to fill a core, and i'm so happy that I did. She is so sweet, extremely nice and explains every assignment in detail. As long as you do your part there is no way you won't receive an A. She made every topic interesting and gave us so much valuable information about urban education!

Professor Friedman is my favorite professor I've had at Towson. She is so passionate and excited to teach. She radiates positive energy and is extremely caring towards her students. She is understanding and clearly explains her grading. You will easily receive the work if you do your part in the group projects. Would recommend this class to anyone.

Ive never met a teacher who cares so much about her students and just people in general. She keeps grades updated on blackboard, is beyond clear on all assignments, and creates an open and safe environment for discussion. I had her class once a week Monday from 9-11:50 am & nvr skipped. The class was amazing, Professor Friedman was amazing!Take it!

Wow, best professor ever! I took professor Friedman for a core but she made it totally worth it! She really cares about her students and people in general, always coming to class with a smile. She has a positive outlook on life and I think everyone should have the opportunity to have a professor like her!!

This is the best professor I have ever had in my college career! She walks in with a smile, greets every students, and always has a positive attitude. The class is mostly discussion based with some group projects... not incredibly hard. Prof Friedman takes the time to learn everyone's name & really cares about each individual. Fun class

Professor Friedman is such a great professor! At first the class may seem like a lot of work, but after like the first 3 readings then the class assignments get really fun. Also went on a mini field trip. Take her!

She is really nice and really cares about her students. The only problem i had when i took this class all projects are group projects. I think last semester we had to do 3 to 4 group projects. One fun or strange this was the surprise field trip, she didnt tell us where we were going before, which i think made it fun.

So, i loved professor Friedman... you never really know what you're going to get when it comes to core requirements, but if you have to take EDUC202 TAKE HER CLASS! She is so straight forward and warm and welcoming, you always know what she expects from you, and the open class discussions are always really insightful. My whole class loved her.

I loved this class! Professor Friedman is a wonderful professor who cares for her students and is crystal clear with her directions. I will admit that you need to participate in order to be successful but her work is honestly easy sometimes it can be time consuming tho.

friedman acts really tough and holier than thou in the beginning but as the class went on i started realize thats just her mannerisms and manner of speaking. the class was really interesting, had a variety of assignments, and my classmates were awesome. i would recommend her class if you can handle groupwork

Mrs. Friedman is not only one of the best professors in Towson, but one of the most inspiring women I know. Although she sometimes speaks to her students like pre-schoolers (because she's an education major with young kids), she is very knowledgeable and respected for how she cares about her students and the topics in her classroom.

This is the best class I've taken at Towson. Professor Friedman is the most caring and dedicated professor, and if I could have her for every class I would

If you dont like work projects, drop this class! Buy both the texts because theyre used for projects and arent available for free online. Missing class more than 3 times equals 5 points off ur grade every time and lateness is 2 points every time.

Dr. Friedman really makes class very interesting and is not a hard grader if you put in work . A lot of group work, and she The book was about $2 at BookHolders, so she doesn't require expensive textbooks. But she does NOT play with being late, or being on your phone. She keeps a note of that. Other then that, she is a great professor!

One of the best teachers I have ever had in my entire life. She is nice, caring, accommodating, and respects everyone. I aspire to be like her when I grow up. The class is not that hard, but make sure to participate. There are a lot of group projects too so be prepared. I wish she taught more classes so I could have her again. Take her!

I happened into Dr. Friedmans minimester class after deciding not to take a different class, and boy was I glad! Dr. Friedman is great! She has made this class so accessible and makes difficult topics more digestible. She has high expectations of her students but sets you up to succeed in her expectations. TAKE HER! I wish she taught more!

One of the most amazing people I have ever met. She is very kind and understanding. She makes the class fun and threw us a party on the last day of class. The projects aren't hard, but they can be tedious. A lot of group projects are done, but it's not bad. I would take her again and this class. I am not into education, but I loved this.

She is AMAZING. Like there is no other way to describe her. Prof. Friedman always makes sure that the class is up to date with any assignments and is clear on everything. More than just a great professor, she's a great person too. She loves to let the class have open discussions and allows us to have our own various opinions.

Professor Friedman is one of the best professors I have ever have. She is so sweet and cares about all of her students. She makes the learning environment feel so welcoming comfortable. She does give a lot of group assignments. She is a rarely easy grader. I would definitely recommend this class.

You can miss up to 2 classes without losing points, and she takes notes on how much you participate in class. She doesn't introduce a bunch of assignments at once, she always does one at a time, and gives plenty of time for each assignment. Class is heavily discussion-based, so don't worry about how much you know about education going in. Easy core

She's literally one of the best professors i've ever had. Every assignment is relevant to real life situations. She's not afraid to talk about race, which a lot of professors are uncomfortable delving into. If I could take this course again I so 100% will. Luv her <3

Hands down, one of the best educators I've ever encountered. She truly cares about her students. You will have to think about the material and participate in projects and class discussions, but as long as you're paying attention to what matters, passing won't be a problem.

Easily the best professor I've had at Towson. She's respectful, cares about you, and has an overall great vibe. Disclaimer: Class may push you out of your comfort zone, but you will be fine! You have to participate(stay off your phone), but the conversations are really worth having. Don't be afraid to speak your mind. Go register right now.

Professor Freeman is one of the kindest teachers I have ever had. She greets every student at the beginning of every class, and makes all her students feel welcomed. I highly recommend taking Professor Freeman for EDUC 202. Her lectures are never boring. Although the corona virus canceled our classes, I am glad that I took this class with her.

Professor Friedman is one of the best teachers I have ever had! She understands our busy schedule and is willing to work with students. As long as you show up and do the work, you will get an A. Classes are based off of group discussions (small and large), there are a few projects which she makes them easy to follow. Would take her class again!

Really sweet professor who is always open for questions. I'm not an education major so I was worried it wouldn't be interesting but luckily I was wrong. Very interesting topics and discussions; doesn't even feel like I'm in class its that enjoyable! Easy A if you participate, definitely take her!

One of those teachers that everyone can connect with. As much as she is a phenomenal teacher who is very passionate about her syllabus, she has an equally strong desire to facilitate relationships with her students. Always a smiling face, always willing to hear students, always willing to make things work. She is a very special educator.

Dr. Friedman is one of the best professors I have ever had at Towson! She is very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject matter and truly wants her students to succeed. The class is largely discussion based, so participation matters, but Dr. Friedman makes the discussions really interesting and engaging, so you'll want to participate.

Best teacher I have ever had and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Be prepared to talk about race and some things that may seem uncomfortable.

Professor Friedman was my favorite! Not only was it an easy class, but super enjoyable. I never minded showing up for this class or the work for it. This class definitely has its way of getting students out of their shell with the discussions and lots of group work, but I promise it's no stress. If I could have her as a professor again, I so would!

This professor makes you think deeply about what is going on in urban education in the United States. When I took this class, it really opened my eyes because I never really knew about the topic. She's also a great listener and a fair grader. If you have to fulfill a Core 10, CHOOSE EDUC202 and PICK DR. FRIEDMAN because she's literally the best!!!!

Professor Friedman really made this semester great for me! She creates a very comfortable atmosphere in the classroom and encourages discussion about tough topics. She always has a really positive attitude that makes sitting in her class awesome.

There is no other way to describe Dr. Friedman other than amazing. Sweetest woman ever, and truly knows her stuff. This class taught me a lot more than just about urban education. She pushes you past your comfort zone and makes you think out of the norm. Group projects and readings, everything is clear with her and is always willing to talk!!

Professor Friedman has been the nicest professor I've had. While our class was completely online, and I never had a lecture to go to, I could just tell by the level of detail and effort she put into each of her announcements was genuine. Her grading was excellent. As long as you guys do the work on time, it's a cake walk.

incredibly intelligent its scary. the class is entirely discussion based. not a lot of hw but it is EXTREMELY easy to fall behind. class was mostly online, only meeting in person like once a month. come to class, speak ur mind, act like you know what ur doing, fake it till u make it, and you'll pass

she is super sweet and super encouraging. She will appreciate your work if you put in the effort and shows how much she appreciates you as a student. she gives good grades If she sees you care. love her. this class was for most of the time a very stress-free class and i did not have to prioritize it as much as i did for my other classes.

She is literally a queen I love her

take her class 100%. its an easy A as long as you do your work and put effort in. let us out early every class, and cares about what shes teaching. takes feedback to try to make her class better. good class to take at 9 am, it didnt make me want to not be there. very group project and class discussion heavy. we talk about uncomfortable topics!

Prof. Friedman was nothing short of a fantastic professor. Super transparent and always positive, she made this class very engaging and a welcome change-up to your more traditional, test heavy STEM classes. Would without question recommend her and this class even if you are a non-educ major - you will not regret it!

She is very straight forward and willing to work with you. Her main goal is that you pass the class and walk away learning something. Attendance is mandatory but the class is worth it because it's not a traditional lecture with a power point lecture, it's a discussion based class and she wants to hear everyone's opinion.

AMAZING! I took this class as a GenEd requirement, and am nowhere near the education major. But, I learned so much from her. She is so knowledgeable and kind, its rare. I would say though, if you are trying to take a random class where you do no work, don't show up, and think you'll pass, I would not suggest this class. Take it if you wanna learn.

Incredible professor. Cares a lot every student. Not typical lectures, not allowed to use phones/laptops in class but you honestly don't need them. Most classes are discussions (& one debate). But as someone who is shy/usually uncomfortable during discussions, Dr. Friedman made me feel very comfortable. Hybrid class - only had to attend once a week

This professor was perhaps one of the best professors that I had at Towson University. There was never a session where she was not passionate about the material she taught. Overall, I can see why Towson has a state of the art Education Program.

This professor was absolutely amazing! I totally recommend taking this class with her. She treats you like an adult and not just a student. will listen about how you are feeling and will check in. The work load is not bad at all. The debate and interview assignments are actually fun. You can speak open in this class and not be afraid to be judged.

She was honestly great. I wish I could take her over and over. Her class is NEVER boring and she was very respectful. There are no tests or quizzes. She understands you are a college student and are juggling a lot. Very awesome person, I hope she knows shes made an impact on us!

There is a hybrid type of teaching, with Discussion Boards or other online assignments on Monday's. There are a few longer assignments that might take a while to do. Teacher style is great, she encourages everyone to participate in any way you feel comfortable and if you ever have a question or concern, she is always willing to listen.

She is an amazing professor! She is very clear with guidelines, due dates, assignment requirements, etc. As long as you due what is assigned to due by the due date, you will thrive in her class. She is very passionate about what she teaches, and she cares a lot about feedback from her students.

Genuinely a 10/10 professor and class.

One of the best classes and professors I have taken at this University. You have to try to get a bad grade in this class. Literally just put in effort and turn things in on time.

You will have to speak in class there isn't getting away from that, beyond that most assignments are discussion posts, and some projects at the end of the year. Overall teacher is engaging and excited to be there.

Dr. Freidman is so knowledgable in the topics we discussed, I highly enjoyed the discussions in this class. She brings out the potential in every student.

Dr Friedman was the best teacher I had at Towson. She cares about every student. I wish she was my professor for all of my classes. She starts class later/ lets us leave early. Everything is well organized and have lots of time to work on the very few assignments she assigns. She is passionate in what she's teaching and makes class engaging & fun!

she is nice and cares A LOT. she doesnt judge anyone and the work is pretty easy and interesting. only issue i had with her is she comes off like snippy sometimes mainly emails. you have to go to class and talk to pass.

Dr. Freidman is truly an asset to Towson University and an inspiration to students. I had the pleasure of taking this class and was truly impacted both personally and professionally in this class!

genuinely one of the best professors at towson. she actually cares about you and what you have to say and her classes are super thought-provoking and engaging. a few discussion posts and two projects that aren't difficult after all. i seriously wish i could have her as a professor for all of my classes, consider yourself lucky to be taught by her

By far one of the best professors I have had at this school and this is coming from an IT Major. Class was never boring and the class really brings amazing topics into perspective which I think is very important. Please don't miss this.

i've never met a teacher who genuinely cared so much for her students and was so excited to teach. she is extremely thoughtful and thorough with her lessons. there is not much to be graded on, a couple very short written things and three larger assignments. the assignments are not difficult, and i thought two of the larger projects were fun!!

Assignments were fairly easy and were not length. No quizzes, one full debate but you get to pick the topic you want to defend and she gives you team time to figure out your arguments. Full class discussions and she is open to opinions, she's very caring and intellectual.

All I have to say is this course was amazing. She is so organized & every class/assignment felt purposeful. The 3 hr slot never went beyond 1 and a half hrs. As long as you attend EVERY class and put in some effort, it is an easy A. I learned so much even tho I'm not an EDUC major. Super manageable, interesting, & easy core 10. Def take her

She is one of my favorite professors at Towson. She sets clear expectations at the beginning of the semester and checks in on each of her students during the whole semester. This class was fun but also educational, I learned so much and had a blast doing it, I would recommend her courses to everyone.

AMAZING professor. Extremely organized throughout the course. Professor Friedman holds herself to a high expectation as well as her students to be completely fair to everyone. She is completely unbiased which is necessary for a course such as this one. 10/10 highly recommend!

One of the most outgoing, encouraging professors I have ever worked with. She creates a safe space that allows students to openly discuss real world issues in a respectful and constructive manner. Her passion for education is clearly very strong and shows through the amount of time she takes getting to know her students on a more personal level.

Dr. Friedman is so nice and really cares about student input. She can be a bit strict on grading and attendance, but overall the class was easy. She always let us out over an hour early. She is very serious and knowledgeable about the content. Overall, great professor and would definitely recommend.

Professor Friedman is a fantastic professor. She cares, listens to her students' thoughts and ideas, and is passionate about this course. We only had one in-person session a week, and we would read or respond to a discussion board on the other days. We have a lot of group discussions, which keep the class interesting. I would highly recommend.

She is very easy, I like how she takes topics that can be a bit political and still hear everyone's thoughts no matter what their stance is. The class is super easy and should not take hours to do homework. We also only met once a week and it was amazing because it gave us time for other classes. Would take again.

Professor Friedman is one of the most caring and genuine professors I ever had! You can tell she loves her job and her class very much and that reflects in how she interacts and talks to her students.

This professor was very understanding of time and even gave classes off so we had extra time to work on assignments. We met one day a week and didn't have many assignments at all. It was a very easy class and she explained everything clearly.

She is great! I really recommend taking her for this class. She made it super fun and really learned a lot. Take her.

Class was very accommodating for participation, allowing the points to be gained in the online discussion forums. For a monday/wednesday class, Mondays were asynchronous discussions and Wednesday were in person discussions/debates. Work was very easy and straightforward. Very calming lecture style, accommodating of uncomfortable conversations.

Such a sweet lady! Definitely my favorite professor here so far. She really cares for her students and is very pleasant to talk to. Class is always stress free and has a good sense of community. Discussions are very engaging and meaningful. Honestly the only class I have where I'm not constantly watching the clock waiting for class to end.

She really cares about this subject. She was a great professor and made this class fun!

was so nice loved her. never went the full time as we met once a week. cancelled class to give us time for bigger assignments. so easy and asked for feedback for her which she took very seriously and responded to well. would take this class a million times over it was so easy

She was great! Talking in class definitely matters, but you will become more comfortable as time goes on. Definitely a professor you should seek out.
