Will means well...he is a good teacher. Master Will opens your eyes to you true understanding of the material and capability thereof, plus he's super cool and nice to look at too. He is getting better at his clarity of explanation, but YOU have to work your tail off in MTH 95 no matter what. Do the work grasshopper...

I found Will Freeman to be an awesome teacher. He's funny, and has a very interesting way of explaining things. He makes things fun, and I have never had this much fun in a math class.

Definitely the best math teacher I've ever had. He explains everything very thoroughly and makes sure that everyone understands before he moves on to the next topic. He rarely teaches from the textbook because his methods are much different but easier to comprehend. Definitely against giving "rules," and more "pro explanation."

If you want to LEARN math than this is the Prof for you. His lectures are fascinating and interactive and his explinations are creative, accurate and very logical. If you are looking for an easy A, or a coast through a requirement, don't bother.

What?! I don't know what all these people who say he isn't a good teacher are talking about. He's awesome! He makes the class fun and easy to understand. His practical way of explaining things might not be the same as in the textbook, but they are much easier to apply to everyday use. I'm bummed that I won't be able to take his Math 65 class!

He is a hard ass and he gives out a lot of homework, but he's a cool guy and he is really good at explaining things.

I liked him -when he was in a good mood that is. When he's in a bad mood, he doesn't cover it well...but He is funny and made math relivent to real life. I plan on taking MTH 65 from him.

Will is a little disorganized but makes up for this by providing deep understanding of the subject matter. His tests and quizes will surprise you a little but if you have a good grasp of the material you'll do well. Will is more than willing to help outside of class. After taking this class I found myself well prepared for 111C.

Dude, he knows what he's talking about. He shows you everything you need to do well in his class. He's clear and cares.

Mr. Freeman is a great teacher. Go to all the classes, pay attention, do the assigned homework, ask questions if you have them and you should do well, as with any class. Contrary to other comments his lectures are relevant to the homework, he is logical and explains things well, and he is nice. Not for lazy, whiny, easy "A" type people.

He was great! He cracked me up! When he was in a good mood that is- def. moody. Had the "snowboarder-attitude". Likeable fellow. Good explainations and clear teaching.

Will Freeman is a great guy. Outside of the classroom. He seems like a funny guy until you crack a joke and he gets uptight about it. He does not explain things adequately in class but, if you go to him during his office hours, he's suddenly a brilliant teacher. The class is hard and he doesn't teach what's on the homework. But he isn't a monster.

Will is a pretty good instructor. You have to pay attention and ask questions when you have them because he is not super easy. He has a lot of real life application problems which is hard for some. But he is funny and knows his stuff. He expects a lot and that can be frustrating for some but if you pay attention and do the homework, you'll do fine.

It seems to me that people who complain about his teaching style , do not want to put any effort into the class. I put in a very small amount of effort and I ended up with a high B. Learn from this, he is a hard teacher but he gets the point across if you pay attention. Learn to work harder than they expect in a Mcdonalds.

I don't get what everyone's problem is on here. I loved Professor Freeman. He was so helpful to me; I got an A easily in his class. If you know how to follow instructions and don't text in class (aka don't act like a seven-year-old), he's wonderful. I can't emphasize enough what a great teacher he is -- I really recommend him!

He makes math fun!

I thought Will was an excellent teacher! Sure he makes you do homework, but it's a math class! You have to do homework as practice so you can get a good grade on the tests. He's funny, down to earth, and willing to help you understand what he's teaching.

He's a great instructor. Very smart, very logical. Cool personality. Grades very tough..stresses accuracy, but you learn a lot. Quite helpful during office hours. Don't take him if you're just looking for an easy A and don't care about the material. If you want a good education, he will give it to you, but he is a very strict grader.

Will is actually a really good guy. You have to stay focused in class and do you're work but if you do that you should be fine. I'm not very good with math and have a hard time understanding it which made this class really difficult for me because he does skip steps but he is more than willing to help you succeed if you put in the effort.

I thought he was a really good teacher. He is good at answering questions and explaining things in a way that everyone understands. I haven't been graded yet (or taken the final) but I feel like I have a good grip on the material and that's what I was going for.

I think this teachers stance is, if you're not ready to learn, don't come to class. I particularly like the balance of the class. I found that I learned just as much from him as I did on my own, which I think is a helpful tool, and so hot! I have an A in the class, and I think as long as you actually try, it's not very hard.

Very tough grader. Good lecturer, cool guy, NOT AN EASY A. Be well prepared before taking his class.

After getting a D on the very first quiz, I realized he was not the easiest of profs and pretty picky about documentation. I regrouped and got A fairly easily, once I figured out what he wanted. He explains well and I learned a lot from the in-class group sessions. I highly recommend this teacher. Be prepared to work hard and be prepared to learn.

He expects a lot, but he is very fair, helpful, and enthusiastic. His grading is fair too, but you should be prepared to write out your problems in exact detail. If anyone asks I would tell them that this is a great class to take.

he's a great teacher who expects you to do your work and learn his material. Since when is a teacher pushing you to learn a bad thing?! He's great, deserves a lot more respect and I'm bummed he's not teaching the last level I need in math

Will's negative comments aren't grounded in fact. He doesn't cradle stragglers or people who don't do their homework or study. He teaches what he knows very well and expects his students to give a lot of effort. But that's college! Freeman is an all around awesome guy and extremely knowledgeable in math. He's entertaining & young so that helps too.

Overall I thought Will was a pretty good teacher. One of the things I loved about his class was how he would assign group worksheets for each lesson, it really helps you get extra practice and help from classmates you would otherwise be too uncomfortable asking. Would like to continue taking his class.

Will is really a great teacher but you have to have a very strong understanding of your earlier math to keep up. DO ALL HOMEWORK! you never know when he will collect it. I really like him. Too bad he doesn't teach the class I want next time.

I don't know what these other folks are talking about, Will is a great instructor! He explains thoroughly and It didn't bother me that he has student groups during class. Most importantly, I feel that he gave us a "what you'll need to know damn well for calculus" approach; a common sense approach...i,e, trig identities need to be known; not proven.

wILL'S A GOOD INSTRUCTOR! I WOULD SAY TO TAKE HIS TRIG CLASS CAUSE I LEARNED A LOT!

One of the best math teachers I've ever had

cool guy! kind of hard class but he makes class fun

Great guy. Love attending his class.

Honestly, I was a bit apprehensive with taking his class after looking at all the negative reviews on this site. However, after the fact, I wholeheartedly disagree with the negativity. Will was a great teacher, and neither his tests nor his quizzes were difficult. I look forward to taking him again for Calculus.

Math is hard. If it was easy we wouldn't have to take classes for it, right? Will is a solid teacher. He was organized, and thoughtful about what we needed to know for future calc classes. He is not a hand holder and gets irked if you take him for one, but I don't see this as a fault. I feel prepared for calc II thanks to his class.

Will is a really good teacher. His ability to explain the important concepts far exceeds any teacher I have had for a long time. He is also very laid back and makes class time as fun as it can be. Perfect teacher for Calc1.

Will Freemen is a good teacher, but he is very critical while grading. DO NOT take his class if your rusty at math, he makes that clear in his syllabus too. He seems to get annoyed when having to refresh pre-111 material. His lectures are fun, and interesting.

Best math teacher I've had. He made the concepts interesting, made expectations very clear, happy to answer questions, and most of the quizzes were take-home. He is picky about exact wording/format in his grading. Just be prepared to do a lot of hw if you take his class.

He is an intellectual powerhouse, a true craftsman in his work. However, expect tripwires and vaguely discussed material on the quizzes/exams. Expect one less letter grade than you would probably have earned in a similar class. That's the straight scoop.

Don't let his overall rating scare u. All of his bad ratings are from over a year ago. I'm mostly a b student but I loved his class and his style so much that it was actually fun and I got an a. U just need to have a good grounding with mth95 and have attention to detail and take his warnings in the first class to heart and you'll do we'll.

Very good professor! He's very nice and makes math as entertaining as it can be. He's a really cool person, and he explains math very well and clear so that it is easy to understand. But take it from me, if you don't do the homework and you're not a math whiz, you'll probably fail. Do all the homework, attend all the lectures, and study!!! ;)

Fantastic teacher. Likes to shoot the breeze during class, but it never bothered me. Very nice guy, would definitely take again.

A lot of people struggle with 95, and if that is you, start going to office hours and the student learning center right away. He is a good teacher who gave me a great foundation for 111. Sometimes he really opens up and I think those are the best moments in class. He will NOT collect all the homework he assigns - don't get upset about it.

You better know your MTH 95. He begins the class letting you know it won't be easy. If you struggle with math, though, he's your guy. But you have to be up for the challenge. He's a great teacher even if he's tough. I'd recommend him to anyone who actually wants or needs to learn math.

Will Freeman is probably my favorite teacher by far. He really cares for his students and wants them to succeed. He makes it clear that you need to be studying at home (which you should anyways) & what he expects. I was always excited to come to class, he always made class fun & made sure everyone understood. Great guy.

Took Will's class for a summer course, very tough and fast paced but he did a great job. It's easy to get lost or confused at times but you come out on the other end understanding why he was doing something a certain way. Very fair grader and assigns extra credit, which a lot of students did not take advantage of.

Will is a brilliant man who is destined for more than teaching math at a community college. During the term, he was taking classes for eastern medicine and at night teaching my course. You could tell that he was stretched pretty thin and that this course wasn't at the top of his to-do list (nor the bottom). He didn't respond to emails.

Ignore all the negative comments about him. I worried to take a class from him because of the ratings and because I'm terrible at math. But he actually is a really good teacher. He knows how to explain the problems in different ways when the class doesn't understand. Like any other math class you have hw. He prepares you for future math classes too

If you're a grown up adult, not a kid, who can take care of oneself, you're just fine with him. He gives clear lecture, doesn't get wordy unnecessarily, offers extra credit homework, maybe not sweetest but tries to help you if asked. Just take a fine class and go home, do homework in time. Easy.

Nice job of covering the material. The pace is fast-there's a lot of material to get through. He explains well, is patient, and is available to help. His assigned work is an excellent indication of what will be on the tests. I read the negative comments. They are "he's too hard" space. Math is hard. He does a good job helping us learn it.

*I took math 70 with him in winter 23* I love Will he is the best prof I have taken by far. I wish I could take him for all my math classes. He is super fun/funny and knows how to make class fun. Workload is heavy but its super easy as long as you show up. I will say he does like when you're cameras are on!Super chill dude and I recommend him 100%

I love this prof, but I also love math. His class is fast-paced bc there's a lot of material to cover, and it is pretty homework-heavy, but practice makes perfect! He's great at answering questions, but if it's a question about past material/has a long answer, you gotta go to office hours. If you're not motivated to learn, don't take this class.

Professor Freeman is hands down one of the best mathematics professors anyone could ask for. If you plan on taking a fair amount of math courses, Professor Freeman is sure to provide a solid foundation to assist in your further learning.

Math is inherently difficult and it takes a lot of practice especially if it does not come easy to you, so the homework he assigns is for good reason. It is clear that Prof Freeman cares about teaching math and his students. He thrives when students are engaged in the class. Planning your study, and practice time for this class is essential.

Clear grading, free points. Multiple resources for study/prerequisites including a textbook. If you enjoy math or want further explanations than a list of rules, take this class. Show up and you can't fail. Difficult not to engage.
