Had this professor for both my Cornerstone of Engineering courses. Susan and Matt were great teachers who always made themselves accessible and organized a lot really cool projects and trips. Highly recommend.GE1501 2026-08-11 17:11:44 +0000 UTC
Freeman teaches in an interesting way. The workload was pretty average but she didn't truly prepare you to the fullest for quizzes. The group project was hit or miss depending on who you got but as long as you did your work it was an easy AGE1502 2024-05-29 17:18:58 +0000 UTC
Prof. Freeman is a great teacher, she will always help when needed and her exams are extremely easy for the exception of the final exam that is a little tougher. If you go to class and do your homework you can get an A.IE2310 2015-12-31 13:27:12 +0000 UTC
Awesome teacher, especially for first year engineering students. I took the cornerstones robotics class and it was really fun. She's pretty lenientunderstanding with due dates and grades, but you do have a fair amount of homework. Also, worked in a group a lot. Overall great class, would definitely take again.1111 2014-12-17 00:05:57 +0000 UTC
She loves her students. Extremely helpful. She listens to students and constantly takes the feedback & modifies teaching methods / work load accordingly. A rare quality in a professor.EDM 2014-07-14 17:55:45 +0000 UTC
Super Enthusiastic, gives a lot of work but is a relatively easy grader. Her exams are long but if you study you will be fine. Really friendly and loves her students, wants you to succeed.GE2310 2013-12-18 12:20:50 +0000 UTC
Unbelievably enthusiastic and energetic; obviously loves her job. Very nice to all the students. The class is usually interesting, and the projects are valuable. There is one "major design project" that culminates in a ~50 page report, but you spend all year working on it in parts so that it's manageable.GE1110 2012-01-08 14:33:47 +0000 UTC
Enthusiastic professor, gives a lot of effort. Doesn't seem to know the material very well. Uses powerpoints every class which gets extremely boring and hard to follow. But, she's very helpful and a pretty easy grader. Take her if you get the chance.IE4512 2011-04-26 11:47:22 +0000 UTC

I LOVE Prof. Freeman! I had her for Engineering Problem Solving, and never knew anything about programming. She opened up that world and made all her students interested. She has a rare ability to make inspire genuine enthusiasm. I nominated her for Professor of the Year at Northeastern.GE1111 2010-04-01 17:43:13 +0000 UTC
Excellent teacher. very engaging and hands on which helps in learning. For midterm and final just read the case studies the day before and do all of autocad and projects on time to get on her good side (which isnt hard) Very helpful and is very understanding. If you can get her for ANY class i would recommend itENG101 2009-12-08 03:23:08 +0000 UTC
Very helpful and available online or in her office on a regular basis. Quizzes can be tricky, but the programming assignments are interesting and very helpful in reinforcing the material. Had no programming experience going into this class and did fine.GEU111 2009-07-06 12:05:30 +0000 UTC
Shes a great teacher for a rather difficult subjectGEUPROG 2008-04-03 10:53:04 +0000 UTC
Freeman was my favorite professor. She is really nice and the class is pretty interesting, although it ends up being a lot of work. She grades really fair though and her class seems to be easier than some of the others based on what I've heard from other people who had different professors.ENGU110 2007-12-18 19:01:38 +0000 UTC
One of the best professors I've had. She sounds patronizing at times, but she's very interactive and serious about Industrial Engineering. She gives out her AIM sn and is willing to help with everything and anything. Textbook is only used for homework, and a couple of times in class. Exams are easy but very, very long. More time would be nice. A+MIMU310 2007-11-19 09:18:04 +0000 UTC
