Rob's the best.
Very easy.
He makes it fun! Everyone I know who has taken his class liked him!
Rob's a cool guy, great teacher, very helpfull and available to answer any questions. He makes the class enjoyable and fun.
He's pretty easy but knows his stuff. And he is extremely helpful.
He's a great teacher and really nice too. He makes you feel comfortable and you really learn stuff. He even lets you call him Rob! How many teachers are cool enough to be on a first name basis with their students?
Taking Rob's class influenced me to become a chemistry major. He really knows the material and is very funny and helpful. Great guy!
Makes chemistry fun, nice guy, best chem professor you will ever have easy A or B
Great guy with great sense of humor and very helpful. Easy to work with, easy to learn from. Just make sure you go to class frequently, do the homework, and listen. You'll be fine.
really helpful! great sense of humor!! makes chemistry seem fun! easy to understand!!
Great teacher. He is very clear. Test are a little hard but if you study previous test they are very similar to the one he will give you. He is a very cool guy.
He makes CHEM less of a bore and has a very very easy-going & carefree teaching style. HW is easy, tests come straight from HW and notes...Tests are not very hard and an 85% is an A :-) TAKE HIS CLASS and take HIS LAB if you can.
Easy to get an A 85% very knowledgable and a nice guy don't get behind on the homework or you will get burned his tests are very similar to the examples in the lab packet if you take his lab he is a little harder
great teacher! helps if you need it, loves chestry, previous tests are on his website so you can study them, do the hw and go on his website for help. easy a or b if you study and take notes :)definitly take him!
Good instructor. Keeps class interesting. Not an easy "A". He does collect homework and you need to study for those tests. He is fair and willing to help students with questions.
Good guy. Clear and to the point. Works with his students and makes you laugh a few times a class. Take him!!
Easy to get a good grade, but you must study. His explanations in lecture are fairly clear yet I found his lab to be much easier. Not that funny.
Makes one of the most confusing subjects surprisingly clear. He's really nice, and always helpful with questions - very personable. Not too demanding with amount of homework (which is pretty simple). Exams are straightforward, and easy to study for.
Best Chem instructor I've ever had.
He is easy, all you have to do is show up to class and take very GOOD notes. He even allows a 5x7 card for all tests and a 8x11.5 sheet of paper for the FINAL.
If you dont take him, you'll be missing out. He's an incredible teacher.
Awesome Prof!! always had office hours if you did not understand. It is not an easy A. a lot of homework and tests I thought were challenging. I still enjoyed the class and he made the subject fun. if he taught 200 and 201 I would take him again.
Rob is the man. Makes this class fun- no small task. Get him for lab too. Got an A, and I'm a science dummy.
Everything in his lecture is included in his tests so take good notes! Study his previous tests posted on the web since they are exactly the same but with different numbers. Do all your homework and you'll do fine. Very easy A.
hes a really good professor. he only teaches u what u need to know (certain parts of certain chapters), and he makes everything simple. He's always willing to help and he's funny too.
very cool teacher. makes the course interesting and he makes it easy. not boring. study good enough you can earn an A or B. easy not "hawking" on students whether the lecture or the test. he kepts it easy for students. take him. you'll love it.
This guy is hilarious, and very good at explaining things. Talks about his daughter alot, but has some good stories to tell. Helpful during office hours as well
I agree! He is absolutely great, funny, and helpful. He's approachable and loves his job. I can't imagine a better teacher for chem 152.
Rob is a great teacher. He teaches so everyone can understand. If you use the tools he gives you to study you will pass with an "A" easy.
He is the coolest teacher ever! You'll understand everything when he explains the material. He doesnt care when you come in late as long as you come and mark your name on the attendance sheet. Take him, you'll pass with a definite A.
AMAZING, HOT, INTERESTING, PERSONALITY. FREMLAND HAS TO BE LIKE THE GREATEST CHEM TEACHER IVE EVER HAD AND HES SOOOOO HOT!! RAWR. Grade's easily,class easy, its chem you either get it or you dont but overall GREAT CLASS. YOULL ENJOY IT!!!! TESTS ARE EASY!
He is the best science teacher I have ever had. A extremly nice person too. He understands student issues so if you have to turn something in late and you a speak with him he usually wont deduct any marks. He is really there for his students!!
the best chem teacher ever.
Fremland is such a GREAT professor!!!! :) I really liked his 152 class, he is the best professor! I love chem because of him! Pretty Easy, Just go to class every meeting, Do your hw and ask him questions, he is sooo helpful and his tests are pretty straightforward, I got an A, so can you! :)
Coming from someone who hates chemistry take this instructor. He can make you understand!! Do all the homeworks, study previous exams and you will be set. Oh yah, 85% is an A!
Awsome professor! Knows his stuff, very helpful and funny. Cares about his students. Highly recommend him and take his lab as well!
Great teacher.Gives you all you need to do well in the tests. Study the homework and the old tests as he repeats alot of the questions. You have to study but it's a great class. I had a hard time with O-chem but this class was great.
Very easy class. Study the old tests, do the homework, and go to class, you'll ace it. Don't bother buying the book, his notes are all you need, I didn't pick mine up once. Straightforward tests, fair grader. Definitely recommend him!!
Quite possibly the best teacher I have ever had. He is completely clear, and is willing to clarify anything. He has an awesome sense of humor too. He makes sure you are totally prepared for all the tests.Oh yah, hes also super hot. What more could you ask for??
He is such a good prof! He explains things so clearly and he is so funny. His tests are exactly like the hw. If you are gonna take chem, take it with him.
He is an awesome teacher, very clear, and usually kept me interested and paying attention. I highly reccomend taking his class. You won't regret it.
Great Teacher! Chemistry is hard for me but he helped make it understandable. Drops one test so it helps out your grade. Try to take lab with him too cause sometimes he is behind in the lecture and your lab instructor may expect you to be at a level that your not at yet.
great teacher
Awesome teacher - if only all chemistry professors were able to teach like him. His colleagues could learn a lot from his teaching style. Drops the lowest test and the last one was take home. Pay attention and do your homework. If you don't do the homework, you will not be prepared for the test. Got an A and worked hard for it. And he's funny!
The easiest chem class I ever took. Really great professor. Definitely recommended.
Received the lowest grade in collegiate career. Uncompromisingly rigorous.
I loved this teacher. I basically failed chem in high school and I got an A in his class. If you are looking for a great annd hot teacher pick him!
He is Awesome, Handsome, and Talented. Love to teach. What can I say; the man got the whole package! If you need to take more chem, after 152, you should take his class. I guarantee you will remember what you learn in his class,will be helpful for advance chem. He is very Clear on lecture, Well prepare for class, and helpful. Teacher of the year!
good teacher, easy to understand his lecture. Students just take his note carefully and do homework regularly. Guarantee you get A
Great teacher. Fun, interesting, a little bit of a chemist hippie, which of course is a good thing. I definitely recommend him.
took lecture and lab...very helpful and funnie. he goes over any questions you have. i took this during intersession and still had a good time. very clear and always makes class fun. be sure to take him, trust me.. you will learn!!
totally nervous at the begining. But Fremland is the best teacher do the homework, you can have3x5 card on test, and you have to study. you get what you deserve Loved him(funny), loved the class(great at getting info across). I would take Fremlands class again and any other class he teaches.
Everything everybody says is true, he keeps class interesting. He's well organosed. Uses alot of practical examples for all the visual/spatial learners. Yes you get to use a 3x5 card (Clutch!!). Tests are pretty much cut and paste from the homework. Do it, it pays off!!! Didn't need the lab and it still went well.
I really didnt like chem before I took his class, now I really enjoy chemistry and learning how everything works and why it works the way it does. He is a great teacher, very helpful and makes it easier for us to understand. his previous test are posted and actual test are similar but just write down all the notes and include them on the notecard!
He is awesome! His lectures are very interesting. He keeps it that way with the funniest jokes. His tests are super easy. Take him, you wont regret it.
cool prof. mixes bio and chem with clarity and not trying to delve too far into an intro class. plus notecard
Great teacher. Makes the calss fun and interesting. Very laid back. A must have proff for anyone taking chemistry! Get a 3x5 cheat sheet for every test. Keep all cheat sheets and he will let you use on final exam.
He is hands down the best I've ever had. He explains and teaches things in a manner that you want to learn and not miss class. If you ever need to talk to him he is always there for you and all of his students. Also if you can take him with his lab things just make more sense. Great Great job and it was my pleasure being in his clas.
Great prof! Very friendly/laid back/funny. Provides old tests for you to study from. Go to class and take notes (this is obvious.) Review his lecture outline while studying. You should do well in the class.
No Comments
An amazing chem teacher. Like others said he's laid back, funny, explains the material well and tells jokes and stories just to make the class more interesting. Works well with you to understand the material. He posts old exams on the web that help you prepare for exams coming up. Wish he was teaching chem 200
Very helpfull and understanding.
The chemistry professor to take. He moves at a quick pace without feeling like we're rushing. Excellent explanations and a wonderful primer for Chem 200. Try to get in his class if you can.
Very pleased with this instructor. Always prepared; no surprises. If taking him for lab, be prepered to keep a tedious lab-notebook. For our notebook we had to photocopy pages out a lab manual and then tape them into a spiral notebook; a waste of time. Other than that A+
He's a pretty funny guy n makes lectures interesting. U can't miss a lecture because you will miss out on a lot of information. He grades easily and curves if needed.
Greatest guy at Mesa
Good all around teacher. He brings a high level of energy to his lecture and keeps the class entertaining
He rocks. Easy, clear, and concerened. He really doesnt make chemistry be anything more than it is, he simplifies everything for you and he just rocks. I took him back in 06
he's great!
WOW he has hair in this picture. Awesome guy and a great teacher. Is will to help you if you need it. Very funny!WML!!!!!!!!!
He is one of the best professors that Mesa college has. He not only knows how to teach, but knows how to teach VERY WELL. If you ask a question 100 times, he replies with a same nice and cool attitude.
he was awsome!!!!!! There is no such thing as a dumb question in his class... he will ACTUALLY help you.
OMGGGG, SOOO FUNNYYYY!!!!! He knows the stuff, he makes lotta jokes! Prepared, Tests=pice a cake...AN AWESOME PRO!!!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
He makes class interesting although exams are hard. Don?t worry he gave us some extra credit which helped our grades. Study his lecture note.
I don't know why he doesn't teach physics and calculus. He is extremely helpful and always makes class fun and chemistry enjoyable to learn. Wish I could take more classes with him.
The best teacher!
Chemistry use to be my most hated subject in highschool until i had this teacher. Best professor ive ever had. Very understanding and explains very well. He enjoys teaching. Never a moment i dazed off in his class like i do in all my other classes. He makes chemistry FUN and INTERESTING!
Good teacher. Pretty good sense of humor. Had a few tests. Allowed students to work some problems in class then went through problem with us to help us understand it.
Funny, helpful, clear, laid-back, intelligent... absolutely no complaints. He made the class fun, also applied the subject material to real life to pique interest. Almost always available in his office to help or tell your grade. Doesn't care about attendance, homework is online, and tests reflect HW and lectures accurately.
Not only is this guy really funny he is very helpful when answering your questions. I took this class over summer so it went really fast but if you're good at math this should be an easy A.
His lectures were clear.Provides ample examples in class.Will go over anything you need help with. Doesn't make you feel dumb when you ask a question.Highly recommended.I don't suggest buying book,lectures are more than enough to help you,besides w/hw code you get an online version in case you ever really need to read about something.
Great professor. Hard class but he makes it interesting. Don't fall behind!
I think that all teachers in the world should be like him...the most awesomest guy ever...
Rob is totally awesome.. this teacher is a must. hurry at registration though because his class fills up fast. you can crash the lecture but you wont be able to crash his lab, even on the wait list.
easiest class. review of high school chem but simplfied. Easy grading scale 85% is an A, LAb is freaking easy. Gives a take home test. Online homework was free 10% boost. This is a great class to prepare yourself for chem 200. When i took chem 200, it was a breeze cuz fremland covered it all. TAKE HIM FOR LAB AND LECTURE!!!
Great teacher. He WILL take the tame with you to help you understand any material that you don't get. Very patient and good sense of humor. All in all a great professor and cool guy.
I love, love, love Fremland. I am so bummed that he isn't my professor next semester. He is funny, extremely smart, knows the material so, so well, and constantly tells his students he is available for help whenever they need it. He grades fairly, teaches clearly, and has made it such a pleasure to go to class. Snag him if you can.
If you don't like chem but still need to take chem, do yourself a favor and take Fremaland's class. Explains things clearly, always available for office hours. Don't ask about his brothers during class. Cute, hairy thing - makes me wish I was gay.
Pretty much i never thought that i would leave a comment for a teacher but Fremland is such a bomb teacher that i had too! IF you are looking for a hilarious, smart, and perfect Chem teacher, then this is the dude you want. He'll make you want to major in Chemistry
He's a really nice professor. Funny and explains very well. He doesn't mind re-explaining concepts after class or in his office. He doesn't grade too harshly, and accounts for partial credits a lot. He also makes test from previous semesters available online. His tests are remotely the same tests, with a few differences. Aced it w/o knowing chem b4
Great professor. Will help you with questions after class and in his office hours. Teaches you how to think in a common sense way when it comes to chemistry.
TAKE HIM! I'm actually considering a career in chem now. He made it both fun and easy to understand. Awesome teacher. I wish he taught other chem levels.
He is definitely the best chemistry teacher in the world. If you are looking for a perfect chemistry teacher, here is. I highly recommend him.
Rob Fremland isn't just a great teacher but a great person. He explains every section in a way that makes it easy to understand. Nomeclature is a pain in the butt, but he wrote his own book on it. His lectures are always entertaining but on track, he didn't miss any material and I'm definitely ready for General Chemistry!
85% is an A. Teaches clearly, assuming you have never taken Chem before. Tests are fair, NOT hard. Good on partial credit. Take him.
Really laid back chill professor. He does have his own way of teaching things which could get a little annoying and confusing but other than that really nice guy and pretty helpful. Recommended
Awesome teacher, he's very clear about what he expects you to know and will explain concepts in the simplest way possible.
MY FAVORITE TEACHER HANDS DOWN....and he has stellar taste in music
Probably my most favorite teacher ever. Excellent teacher, very clear in instruction. Very witty, knows how to relate information clearly. No extra credit but 85% is an A. Cant think of a better teacher. Even if you have to crash, he is worth the trouble.
Take him for chem! He's VERY easy. His tests are very similar to his back tests. He explains chem in a way that you can easily understand. He's funny too and tells lots of stories that are entertaining. Him and Toto seem like fun guys to get a beer with
This class is easy! Drops one test and the tests are super similar to the practice tests! Very understandable and easy to wake up to at 8am. Makes jokes during class so I don't fall asleep. Very flexible and seems like a good person. One of the best profs at Mesa!
One of the best professors at Mesa! He explains everything clearly and tries to put chemistry in layman's terms. His tests are similar to the previous tests that he posts online and he doesn't test you on anything he didn't lecture on. Funny too.
Rob is THE MAN. Clever as hell, incredibly intelligent and as easy to relate to. He knows his stuff, articulates it well and is very helpful and available for anyone struggling. Former homeworks & exams are online--USE THEM! I suck at math and walked away with 1 of the highest A's in class. Overall,Rob is a ski/surf bum genius that teaches chem.
Rob is an amazing professor! Lecture is straight forward, Rob speaks to his students like they are students not chemists! He makes chemistry concepts more personable and easy to understand. Class is enjoyable and he offers office hours for extra help. Do the homework, read, and take notes, outcome: A in class.
Mr. Fremland is a charismatic teacher whose lectures are worth going to. He explains the topics in an easy manner and does not just repeat from the textbook. His class is based of off 16 HW's 4 tests and 1 cumulative final. Drops 1 HW and 1 test. If you study and try its easy.
The dude abides! Attend lectures, study practice tests, attempt homework assignments and you'll easily pass with an A. If you have his lecture though, make sure to put some effort on your lab assignments.
Rob is an amazing Professor,,,, makes chemistry enjoyable even though it's a rough subject!!!! Awsome Professor would take him again without hesitation!!
He is awesome, everything he teaches makes so much sense eventhough the course is hard. If he sees that audience has pokerfaces, he makes up enough examples to that we could understand. Great personality and will thow in some cheesy chem jokes between lectures. Has been a chemist teacher for a long time so he knows whats he doing, he has dedication
If not the best, he's one of the best chem teacher at Mesa. He doen't speak in a mono tone voice and he example the course clearly. Do you homework cause points add up and before a test make sure to view he's prior semst class test.
Clear, Homework very doable and is due a week after assigned, will accept late homework for a few points off, very funny but very clear in his lecture. Tests are very similar to his old exams which he posts on line for u to practice drops lowest exam homework 4 test + final. if you do good in first 3 exams don't have to pass the 4th. very helpful
Best teacher I've had so far! You can tell he loves teaching and helping students. Always willing to work with you if you need the extra help. He uses humor in his lectures to make it interesting. If you're a good student(show up to class, take notes, and do the hw) you'll pass with an A or B easily.
Rob is a great teacher with a great sense of humor who is able to teach a subject that is difficult for most, in a very effective manner. His tests are not very difficult IF you make sure to do and UNDERSTAND each homework assignment. Some of the topics are tough and the homework is long on those topics for a reason. An 85% is an A.
Professor Fremland is great, funny, and helpful. Chemistry isn't my favorite subject, and he goes over the material really well. He's open to helping you during his office hours. The homework he gives is straight forward and he gives you previous exams to study from. I wish I took him for lab too.
HE IS THE MAN! best chem teacher ever. He pretty much wrote the Lab manual so he always knows what you will be doing in the lab that week and is very organized..."Rule zero- Get beer"
I can honestly say he's one of the best teachers I've ever had, period. He is definitely my favorite at Mesa College. He teaches lectures in a very easy-to-follow manner, and always comes up with little stories to help students learn and memorize difficult subjects. He's also pretty funny, so lecture is entertaining. Helpful at office hours too.
He makes everything seem easy, even when very complex. His lectures are very organized which makes you writes perfect notes even you are horrible at note taking like me. He posts last semester test online so you know what to expect on them.
Fremland is easily one of the best professors! Takes most, if not all crashers as long as you have a lab. Makes his lectures easy to understand but sometimes goes fast so you must keep up. 85% makes an A in his grading system. Drops lowest homework and test score. Has an endless amount of jokes! Take this professor!
Fremland is so funny. His teaching style makes it very easy to learn and follow. Writes everything on the bored. His tests are very straight forward, no tricks. Everything comes from the lectures and homework so make sure you attend class. Take him!
He is an awesome teacher, and really funny individual. The lecture corresponds with the test exactly and he does prepare pretty much everyone for tests. Highly recommended to take him for anyone who is looking to take the Chem 152
Chill funny prof. Don't take his lab if you want to skip exams. He really preps you for his exams. Lots of hw from the book. He's always there for you during office hours and he's almost always in his office or teaching m-f.
lots to learn in this class. "do the homework!" this is a class that demands time and effort. i wouldn't say that this is a extremely hard class, but if you slack off and don't do the homework i could see this class becoming very hard. Fremland is a really good professor and makes himself available if you need help. study hard and you will learn.
Prof. Fremland lays down one of the most fun and interesting lectures ever. He makes Chemistry look easy and laces the lecture with lots of jokes to keep the class in a good mood. His tests follow the homework and test your knowledge of the subject. You can find a torrent of the book online. Don't waste money at the bookstore for any part of it.
he is very clear and straight forward. He gives the best lectures and they are fun. if you attend all the lectures and do all the homework you should be fine.
Took this class because of high ratings and recommendation. Keeps class interesting but tons of info to learn. This class requires a lot of attention and focus! Not an easy A to get. If you're looking for a class that will teach you the foundations to really understand General Chem, take him. If you want to breeze through, dont take him.
This is is great teacher who genuially wants you to succed. He makes class interesting with his wittiness. Hw is not mandatory but I definitely recommend doing it. He posts answers to hw and previous class tests so that you know what to expect. The material is hard and this is a tough class though so brace yourself.
Fremland wants you to succeed. Come to class and take notes. His way of teaching is very clear. I thought I was going to hate Chem but this class ended up being my favorite. Homework is due weekly and he accepts late homework. His class fills up quick so if he has an open seat, I suggest you take it!
fREMLAND IS THE GUIDE FOR SUCCEED IN CHEM. EASY A AND VERY ACCURATE IN TEACHING. DEFINITELY TAKE HIM
Fremland is a BRO. Its too bad he doesnt teach 200, when I told him he should he just laughed. :c Everyone should take his class, hes an awesome dude who is very passionate about teaching.
Outstanding professor. He makes chemistry highly entertaining. His casual lecture style and bad chemistry jokes keep the students awake and active. He posts old versions of the test so you know exactly what is going to be on your exam. He has generous office hours and is extremely helpful. This is who you should take for Chem 152!
If you want to pass chemistry take him! Best chemistry teacher I've ever had! I used to hate chemistry and even failed it once in high school so I was dreading having to take it in college. He is very helpful and understanding, super patient and never makes you feel dumb for asking questions. TAKE HIM!
Great proffesor. I actually enjoyed chemistry while taking his class. He makes lectures enjoyable. Course work isn't too hard it just takes some study time to get the hang of it. He does tend to rush the lectures in order to stay on track which was a bit frustrating but overall he was great! 4 exams and a cumulative final.
He was really good. Helped me understand it a lot better!
Great teacher! He makes a lot of good analogies that are easy to come to terms with. He can take an intricate concept and break it down really well for you. Read the book, pay attention in class and take notes and you will do fine. One of the best profs I've had at Mesa!
Great teacher! He keeps you engaged and is always enthusiastic. I struggled in the class but he was not unreasonable with grading and he challenges you.
He is so easy to learn from. He has a great sense of humor. His lectures are on point and is very likely to attract your focus. Passing is way too easy I'd say. I got an A by just attending and listening to his silly lectures, and you can actually LEARN. I don't think he's hot but he's hilarious that makes him look better? hahahah he's a great guy.
I have taken over 6 years of college classes, and he is by far my favorite professor I have EVER had. He was the reason I understood the material, moreso than my actual lecture teacher.
Professor Fremland is the best Chem professor at Mesa! I only had him for lab, but I wish I could've had him for lecture as well. I learned more from him than I did from my lecture professor. He's not a difficult grader and he lets you use all of your lab manual notes on the only two exams. He also makes funny jokes about drinking and his daughters
Fremland is an excellent lecturer and is there to help if you don't understand. It is important to attend lecture, because he is much more clear than the book, writes on the board and will indicate what you need to know for tests. Homework is assigned as a study tool only. He also gives reviews and provides past tests to study from.
He is wonderful! Very good at grading, no homework, only grades on tests. Midterm for his lab is take home, for final you can use the lab menu. He's also funny and caring, too shame he doesn't teach Chem200, if he does I would definitely take him
Best Chemistry Teacher. Wish he would teach upper chemistry. He is hands down the best
Really helpful with material. Read the book and study for quizzes. exiy
As a veteran with 7 years since I last took a college course, I really appreciated Rob. He made his lectures so entertaining and the concepts were very easy to understand. I honestly never had to open the book except for the homework assignments because he explained everything so well. Come to class, take good notes, and you can easily do very well
Best Chemistry professor! I was so scared of chemistry before his class.
I have taken several of Rob's Chemistry Classes in the past. I needed a good teacher that could give me a solid foundation In Chemistry!!I have since graduated and am now a practicing Dental Hygienist. It's been 15 years since I was his student. This instructor is amazing! I owe my career to this guy! Thank you Rob 15 years later ! Lisa J
Thank god for Robert!!! Chemistry has been the toughest subject for me. He really knows his stuff, and he is halarious and keeps the class fun and interesting. The homework is out of the book, only 15 homework assignments and you usually get a whole week for one and they are not bad at all. He provides practice exams that are just like the exams.
Great professor. Very clear on what will be on test. He even drops your lowest homework and test grade. He sets aside the day before every test as a review day.
Professor Fremland is a cool guy. I took him for chemistry 152 Lab and managed to pass. Chemistry wasn't easy for me, but professor Fremland made it easy to understand
Prof. Fremland is honestly the best. He made chemistry so much easier. Both lab and lecture were very easy for me. Super nice and chill. He is absolutely hilarious and brings plenty of positrons to class :)
Currently taking his CHEM 111L class. Took another chem lecture class over a year ago. So I was worried I wasn't going to remember anything. Quiz every week about the Lab you're going to do that day. Labs done that week are turned in the next week. Easier grader and extremely helpful and understanding. Take this class for CHEM 11L, you wont regret
I loved rob so much. The guy always had time for me in office hours and tried hard to make sure i understood the material. He has a good personality and is easy going which makes his chem class nice to come to. Tests are straight forward and not tricky and he gives some points for doing hw. I enjoyed his lectures and board notes. jokesr even funny
I liked rob a lot. highley reccommended. he is there for you, and tried hard to make sure you get the material. He also tries to make this chem journey as least but pain staking as it needs to be. He even has a few good jokes once in awhile lol. Good grader and his office hours were super helpful. I Always did good on exams too. Take him for lec&lb
I came into this class hating chemistry and now I am done with this class and I want to switch my major to chemistry. Take him you will not regret it.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! He is so funny, nice, helpful and really good at explaining things he is the best chemistry professor i have ever had. Chemistry is really hard but with rob you will get an A and understand everything if you actually put in the work.
Take him for lab!!! Take home midterm and open lab notebook for the final. No extra credit. Show up for every lab or your grade will take a big hit. As long as you put in a couple hours of work outside of class you can get a B/A easy.
THIS CLASS IS HARD!! Unless you have previous experience with chemistry your going to need to put in 6+ hours outside of class studying a week just to get a B. An A is 85%. Btw if your someone who doesn't show up to class don't bother enrolling, he doesn't use any online tools & you will be lost the next day if you miss just one class.
this prof gives an insane amount of time to his students, his dedication is incredible. take chem 152 with him & youll pass. review previous exams & go to office hours, hes so helpful and has so much patience. hes so funny thats the main reason i showed up. wish i could write more. take him for lecture & lab and you wont regret it. hes exceptional!
He is a very passionate about his lectures, if you have questions he will answer them until you get it. He really does try to make it easy for you, well as easy as chemistry could be. He won't mark you down for attendance, but if you miss a class is gonna be tough to get the material even if you try and do it by yourself.
Prof. Fremland is by far one of the best professors I've ever taken a course from. I had him for both lecture/lab and his office hour availability to clarify and answer questions alone is one of the reasons I succeeded well in his course. He has been teaching for so long and just gets it. I would take other Chem courses from him in a heartbeat.
He really makes things make sense. Will answer any question, with patience, even if he already told you the answer before. Talented and caring. This is a lab, you must attend and do the work. If you miss class you have to make it up with other profs. He is very willing to allow you to make up another prof's lab in his lab. Wants students to succeed
Awesome professor, lectures are super clear. He is very flexible with homework and labs. He's always on top of his game with grading and lectures.
I really loved this professor. He is super funny and always cracking dad jokes. He's insanely chill and laid back, super flexible with due dates, honestly just wants his students to succeed. It was an easy class and I wish I needed more chem credits so I could take him again.
Professor Fremland is absolutely incredible! I took chem with a different professor before and i couldnt understand it. But Fremland made it 100x easier for me to understand. He is super funny, super knowledgeable and is very understanding when it comes to homework and labs. He is very chill, he's like a child at heart. Wish he would teach 200!
A great professor! Everything he teaches in lecture is clear, the homework is really easy, he lets you turn in your homework late and drops the lowest homework grade. Test are really similar to the practice exams he provides so definitely recommend doing the practice exams! No quizzes!
Such a great professor. He's approachable, nice to chat with, and will take the time to help you if you ask. He really cares and wants you to do well in his class. He always has a funny story or a joke to tell in his lectures. I totally recommend him. You will learn a lot!
do NOT take this professor I know what I am telling you. Fremland Is a Tough grader! there is only 4 tests which is 90% of your grade so if you fail all the test you did not pass the class and grades the Hw 10%. The reason why not to take him is because he doesn't do a good job of explaining well(talks to fast). And does not give extra credit.
Wow! he was definitely a tough grader! he gives tests before lab! lecture not to good because he speaks too fast! Gives you lots of Hw. there are 4 testes ( 90% of your grade) Hw (10%). if you were to take him STUDY!! I know what I'm telling you guys his tests are tough!! if you think you're good at chem then take him. good luck to all.
I have returned to rate him he made chem the hardest class I ever took somehow one of the easiest things because of him I switched my major I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS DUDE AS A FORMER LIFE SCIENCES MAJOR HE WILL MAKE THE CHEM IN YOU COME ALIVE
I love his class so much. He always tries to make it easy to understand for me. He is also nice to answer all the questions about my lab even though he was not my lab instructor. He is hilarious, his joke will help you remember the lesson better. Take him, show up, do homework and get an A. It is an easy class for me.
he is the best professor I've taken so far, EVER! he is a funny guy, makes chemistry so much fun with pop up jokes that cracks you up ( and wakes you up lol). if you do his homework on your own, show up his class and take notes of EVERYTHING he writes on the board(and study it for the exam), you are most likely gonna get an A. good luck:)
He is in all a great Professor and is hilarious! Great family oriented man. Chemistry is a very tough subject, he might be a bit confusing sometimes. He can get really chatty and off topic but means well. Love his personality! I really struggled in his class. Take him if you are a fast learner and want to have fun. I just couldn't follow as fast.
Very easily accessible during his office hours and willing to work with you if you have problems. Was very understanding amidst the pandemic and his partially online course worked for me. Be prepare to take plenty of notes and study as his exams are worth 90% of your grade while homework only takes 10%. No extra credit in this class.
Thoroughly instructs materials and procedures but goes off tangents, which can be distracting. Very easy to tell that he cares about his students and willing to work around your schedule if you tell him what is going on, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Accessible at all times and answers emails within 48 hours.
Highly recommend. If you have any questions he will answer them for you and help you understand why you got something wrong. Lectures are also very good, despite remote learning.
If you need a painless A, totally take him!
I can't say enough good things about Rob!! He is truly the best chemistry professor in San Diego. Assignments are very clear and if you screw up on a deadline or turning the right thing in, he is understanding and reasonable. I was dreading taking chem but Rob makes me want to take another chem class just so I could have him as a professor again!!
Was a very laid-back lab instructor. Very friendly, chatty, and forgiving. Exams were hard though and your grade was dependent on them. There were only two of them as well. Besides that, an overall gem!
Chemistry has always been a subject Ive struggled with, but this proff makes it all so easy. His lectures are really clear and is always willing to help.
Considering this was my first ever chemistry class I have taken, Professor Fremland made it really easy to learn. Only met on Tuesdays for prelab quizzes and in-class activities. Lectures are powerpoints and videos on youtube. As long as you do the hw you will do fine on the exams. An 85 is an A in his class so it is pretty easy to pass.
Professor Fremland is the best . Even though we were online he was really easy to contact and would responds emails within a day. He uploads the lecture so you can go to your own pace. On zoom he explains and if you have questions he is really helpful and will do the problem right with you. If you study the homework, study guides youll do great.
I really wish I had the experience everyone else on here seemed to have but this was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. There is no physical lecture on zoom, they are posted onto canvas for you to do on your own. Class is only for in class activities which count as quizzes. And the only thing you are graded on is quizzes, hw and exams
Before taking the class I used to hate chemistry, I took the class because it is required for graduation, finally I got to understand what Chemistry is all about, I learned so much. He will explain over and over any point that needs clarification in a very simple way. The B grade is due to my old age :).
He is great I would highly recommend his class. What could have been a super dry class with no actual labs was actually interesting with the videos he made for it. 10/10
Everyone! He is one of the best professors that I have studied with. Although online learning materials are tough, please don't let these stress or affect your academic performance. Tips: feel free to ask him if you have any questions; he will try his best, go above and beyond his limits to explain them to you clearly.
Loved this class, you can see the professor enjoys teaching chemistry. The professor is always there to help students when they have a question and the dad jokes he says during class helped me (in some way) stay more engaged in the lecture. Sadly, this is my last semester and I cannot change my major to chemistry since it is too late.
Rob was a pretty great professor. He broke everything down to basics and made things make sense but if you skip lectures or dont pay attention you will fall behind. Only about 1 hw assignment a week and 4 tests + the final. Only used the textbooks for some hw problems. Tests are challenging but not hard. Overall great professor, would take again.
Great chem prof! His test questions are easy as long as you attend his lecture or read his powerpoint. He gives study guides that are really helpful. Throws jokes sometimes on class. Easy A as long as you review for the exams.
He is such a good, he is not strict and is very kind! He will help you understand chemistry! I am actually very knowledgeable now. I did have to self teach at times because he does kinda treat you like you are already supposed to know the stuff but he helps you at office hours! Take advantage of those!
Professor Fremland is genuinely a great and caring professor you will have. He tells very corny jokes. He is very understanding, he will take the time to go over anything you need during his office hours. His class is easy once you do the work. It is test-heavy but as long is if you do the homework, you can pass the exams.
Really great professor. He's able to make chemistry understandable and fascinating. Take him!
HE THE BEST AND THE EASIEST (for chem 111A). I literally hate chemistry so much but he actually makes the class really fun. his personality really helps me be engaged and come to class. Hw and test all bases on in class lecture. Participation only counts for coming to class and in- class discussions
Cons: Lectures too fast, doesn't proof read homework, goes on too many tangents, class drags on Pros: drops the lowest grade of each homework, reading assignment, and exam. Funny, office hours is very helpful for one on one work. He's a pro and you can tell when you take him. He's also open to changing scores on exams/homework if you appeal them.
Prof. Fremland is very easy to follow and understand in his lectures. He goes at a good pace and always answers questions thoroughly. He is very clear on assignments and what is going to be on exams. The lowest exam grade will be dropped as well as the lowest homework assignment. Take his class!
Such a great professor! His lectures were easy to understand, interesting, and fun. His lab is the same! I wish he taught CHEM200. Exams were just like the old exams he posts from the past, so study with those. He is also caring and understanding if you have questions or problems.
He is an outstanding Professor. He is also charismatic. He makes learning Chemistry fun and interesting. And, he is Funny. One of the very best Professors I have come across.
He is incredible; if you have any questions, he will walk you through them. He is passionate about the subject and wants you to succeed. There is a lot of homework, but it is easy if you go to lecture. Nothing on tests is a surprise, he went over all of it in class and designated the day before tests to review days. Also so funny I laugh every day!
Professor Fremland is great! His lectures are helpful, and he's always willing to explain things in office hours. I found Unstuck ai really useful for study prep alongside the textbook.
this teacher is great. Lectures can definitely seem boring sometimes but professor Fremland always makes sure that students understand the materials. He gives pre test so its helpful for the actual exams. Exams are similar to homeworks and pre test. I highly recommend this professor
Such a helpful professor! Accepts late work all semester. Don't fall behind though. I withdrew because I failed to catch up on late work fast enough & was struggling in my lecture. He always worked 1 on 1 with me when I needed help. Easy A, if you stay caught up in your lecture & just finish lab reports. Gives 1 makeup lab & drops lowest. No exams!
He is the GOAT for science professors. Honestly the blueprint of what you think of when you think "cool science teacher"
