Student reviews

He's not as bad as everyone says. 1 quiz and many group projects. If you don't like to participate then.PHTH1260 2016-12-14 10:01:12 +0000 UTC

He is just as horrible to graduate students as he is to undergraduates. He is impossible to reach, unreceptive to feedback, and SO unclear with his assignments.PHTH6208 2014-02-14 10:25:03 +0000 UTC

Seriously the most unhelpful teacher. The entire class complained about him because his tests are confusing and he is never available. He knows his stuff for sure but he's not exactly a good teacher. The other prof is supposed to be way easier and it supposed to be an easy A class but it definitely isn't with him. He's funny but not easy and vague.PHTH03 2012-12-14 18:27:56 +0000 UTC

Prof Freeman abides by the philosophy that "life isn't fair" and neither is his class. He believes public health is a one-shot opportunity, which is true. He makes you work extremely hard, which in the end, is for the better! Very influential and important to the Boston community, and you will learn a lot! Not for wimps, certainly!PHTH1260 2014-12-31 16:25:15 +0000 UTC

most unhelpful profesor ever. DO NOT take his class if you have more options. American Health Care is only difficult because of him. You have to read the ENTIRE 600 pages book to pass his tests, which he makes very confusing. He Even though I read the entire book and went to class everyday final grade did not reflect all my efforts.PHTH1260 2014-01-02 11:47:43 +0000 UTC
