Comment:
The BEST teacher I've ever had. Seriously. He makes going to class enjoyable. You have to take notes and study hard to do well on the tests but I've never even opened the book and still got an A. I enjoyed his class so much I'm going to take the botany class he's teaching next semester. This class is much easier than the intro to life science class

Loved this class!! He makes it funn and interesting every class. IT is the only class that I looked forward to. Take good notes and study for the exams. Didn't buy a book, everything you will learn is on the board or from a story. Great Class take it!

Very interesting. Final was really hard, it was made up of things I never remembered covering. Tests consist of questions from his lectures. No textbook needed.

A super amazing teacher! He's so funny and you just can't help but become interested in what he's teaching because it almost feels like you're not in a class but just listening. Didn't use the book at all for this class so I didn't even buy it (was 160 dollars!) and the class was pretty easy. Wish I could take him for another class. :(

To be honest- I didn't like him at all during the first couple weeks, and thought about dropping his class. SO glad I stayed in!! Not only is his teaching style amazing (the tests are easy too, if you take good notes), but he turned out to be my favorite professor at RVC! I even took Botany with him. Thanks to him- I'm now majoring in BIO.

This guy lives and breathes his work! Good teacher, but super hard exams! I came to every class and struggled hard core to get a C. He is very helpful, but still a hard class. If you're good at science though, I recommend!

Friberg is a great teacher. All of his lectures are kept fun and interesting with stories so you remember the material. Sometimes it's hard to know what you need to know out of the stories, if anything, but you catch on eventually. All tests are based off of notes put on the board so don't even bother buying the book, I never even opened it.

I enjoyed his botany class and I don't think there could be someone more qualified to teach it than him. It was fun learning where all of the outdoors places are--I especially liked Beach Cemetary. It was hard for me to learn all of the terms in 3 weeks.

slightly tough, yet awesome! I got a B, and I had to study for it. I usually get As in all my classes though. His teaching style and personality are top notch. He is very intelligent and has a "family guy" style of teaching that can go all over the place, yet he ties it all together. Tests are all short answer, study your notes and memorize them!

Best teacher at rock valley. He has a very off the wall teaching style but once you get to know him...you will love him. He kept me laughing, i looked forward to going to class. I would take his class purely for entertainment.

Friberg has the best sense of humor. You always laughed when you were in his class. My only problem was he doesn't review for tests. The only way to get him to tell us anything was all us students getting together and try to figure out how we could get him to tell us anything. Even after that we were still in the dark. Tests are ok in general.
