Great prof overall. Did a good job of explaining concepts from a beginner standpoint. Willing to help students and is forgiving when it comes to marking. Ask him for a boost and he'll try and find a way for you to earn some extra credit

He seems to constantly be in a good mood. Easy to follow, and sometimes goes off on a tangent, but it's usually something interesting and related. Unique teaching method by talking, drawing pictures, and writing code. Overall, lectures will be unique and interesting, even if you know the material.

Pretty chill guy. Explains everything whether you're paying attention or not, and always answers your questions, if any. Smiles a lot, so in all he's nice :)

very satisfied with his class, explains things so well if you don't get them stop sleeping. His jokes are mostly aimed at the at the computer nerdy students which is fine because that's what this class is about. Could use the slides more to explain concepts instead of jumping straight into examples. Overall a fun prof for the computer nerds in ECE.

Ok, so maybe he isn't the best public speaker out there, but he's really smart and will answer any programming related question you have. He tries hard to keep the class' attention but sometimes it's just hard to stay awake.

nice prof, laid back, odd sense of humor, lives in his little "george freeman world". and the biggest difference between him and other ECE profs in waterloo: he does NOT hate you!

I have to admit, he knows his stuff but still he is a really****ty prof. I took his class last term and it was the worst class I had even taken (and the hardest). He is extremely boring. Very unhelpful and his jokes are ******* stupid. He laughs for no reason and dresses like a *****.

This guy is the ultimate departmental "YES" man. He won't fight for your cause at all. He just quotes what other people in the department say and agrees with everyone, even people who say contradicting things. A monkey could do a better job.

Freeman has been programming since the punchcard days and you're saying that he doesn't know how to program? Did you ever ask for extra help? He might not have been the best to teach the lower end of the class, but you could tell he knew his stuff. Go to the WEEF TAs - they can explain anything.
