There is no doubt that Freeland is a nice lady; but the class is downright miserable. It was impossible to work well in class because the room and tables were really small; yet the binders were huge. Exams were incredibly hard and I found it cruel that a professor knowing that Accouting 101 is such a hard class would make the final comprehensive.

Freeland is definitely the teacher of choice, especially when your only option is Mrs. Kirch. To sum up the class...It's a pain. The person who wrote about the desks is right on. And the repetitive homework doesn't help. Just stay on top of your work and you should get a good grade.

Freeland was one of my favorite teachers, she explained everything clearly and took time to answer any/all questions. In class she explains everything and then has you practice examples on your own, then goes over the problems in class. Attendance is necessary as she teaches at her own schedule, not necessarily by the green book.

I would strongly recommend her for taking your first accounting course, she moves fast but is always able to meet outside of class and responds quickly. She is very stern but very warm-hearted and caring if you get it know her.

IDK if we had the same Professor Freeland but this is quite possibly the worst class I have ever taken at OU. The online structure of this class is insanely awful and I have not learned a single thing. She is more concerned about people having their cameras on than teaching. Teaches new content up to the day before the exam. Do not take this class.

Professor Freeland is by far my favorite professor at OU. She's super caring and finds a way to explain things in a simple and understandable manner. She requires you to have your camera on during class, otherwise you lose a lot of attendance points. Exams are straightforward with the practice exams looking identical. There's no grading surprises.

Freeland is your best option for accounting courses. She can come across as mean at first but once you get to know her she has a good personality and is a helpful teacher. She has a very strict no phone policy and you will loose several points if caught. She assigns homework almost every class but a decent amount is participation or extra credit.
