COMMChil
He is pretty lazy because he never teaches the class. Each chapter is taught by a different student. When it comes time for exams, he's very much about "what do you think you should know?" as opposed to letting us know what's important. It's an easy class but also very annoying. I wouldn't take him again.

Freeman is a good teacher. He is definitely not the best at provoking group discussion, but he tries. He tells interesting stories to relate theories to life (if you can bare to listen - he is boring) and he gears the class towards our interests. He is a really nice guy and very understanding. Papers are tedious but workload is easy & class is easy
COMM1010
His teaching style definitely takes some getting used to, he wants it to be more of a dialogue with each other than him teaching and he doesn't know what to do if no one participates. Tried to get everyone to think and apply concepts to everyday life but it didn't work. Class was easy, but his teaching style is haphazard and unfocused.
COMMINTR
take this class. yeah it gets really boring but its easy. theres a huge paper thats divided up into liek 5 pages due here, 3 here, 2 here.. theres a book report where u read and informally tell the class what it was about, if you put a little effort- u will get an A
COMM1011
He's is fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable. There's a midterm, final, and a paper which is broken up over the semester. He's a pretty fair grader and really gears and class to what we're all interested in. Definitely take him if you can. He's so nice
COMM1011
Professor Freeman definitely has knowledge about media industries, but it's difficult to sit through a class when the same 6 people speak up and everyone else is sleeping! Gives a tracking paper, midterm, final, and random quizzes. Overall, not the greatest professor and lacks one-on-one techniques with students in class, but he's tolerable.
comm6969
boring, talks about whatever the topic is without really making it interesting, unclear about the tracking paper, not really helpful, never lets us leave early, not a fun class, makes u do the reviews for the final because hes lazy, dont take him if u want to learn.

I had Dr. Freeman for Intro to Comm & Media Arts. He is simply the BOMB!! And a total sweetheart too and very fair and makes learning fun. His class was one of the few class that I have looked forward to attending. However, please note, his research papers are challenging, but he does answer your questions to help you out as best as he can.

Great Professor! Interesting, knowledgable and full of interesting examples to illustrate points. I loved this class. One of my favorites. And he is really helpful
IntroMED
Requires about 80 pages of textbook reading a week, random quizzes with detailed questions, midterm, final, and tracking paper. Class is incredibly boring with no real direction. He never reviews the assigned reading, so you're lost as to what's important. Plus, he wasn't even a Communications major himself. Survivable but not recommended.
M1011
Media Industries was one of the only classes I enjoyed going to last semester- it was interesting and not difficult- as long as you keep up with the tracking paper... Freeman presents an interesting angle, and most importantly is extremely accommodating to students
MediaIndu
Professor Freeman is nice and cares a lot about his students. If you try, you will do well, and the pop quizzes aren't bad at all. The class content seems tedious at times, but it's interesting. Take him!
MEDIA101
Gives the impression that he's a substitute teacher, and we're waiting for the main event to return and take over. Wants to talk about fluff and nonsense, and springs everyone along. Take him if you're not interested in learning, but merely want some easy credits. Attend classes, though, for the pop quizzes. Flatter him, and you're IN.
Comm1011
Easliy the worst professor I've ever had. Approaches topics with questions like "So, who here watches television?" and follows that thread for at least half an hour. Puts seemingly no effort into preparing for class and makes you pointlessly discuss in small groups while he (most of the time unsuccessfully) roams the internet for helpful examples.

Had him for children & the media- really easy class- we just talked about our childhoods most of the time and the actual information we learned was pretty interesting. great class- take it.
introinds
this guy is the man...easy to approach out of class...will go out of his way to help you...even offered me an extra credit assignment IF i did poorly on final...sometimes unclear but, hey, your not gonna learn anything is its all handed to you on a silver platter...
Effective
Speak
If you want to learn how to become a good speaker this class is excellent. The mere repetition of speech helps a ton but also the pointers from Freeman give you great new thoughts about speaking. I feel so comfortable speaking in front of big or small crowds now. I really reccommend this class.
med indust

Media Indu

Wow...never a more boring teacher at Fordham. You read the chapter and he asks about it and then "what else" Classes are mandatory and absolutely useless but he gives a lot of pop quizes so you have to be there. Long term paper that he doesn't help with at all. Stay away!
Intro Comm
One of the best Comm professors in the department! Not the easiest class but very interesting and definitely worth it. VERY helpful as well. Great advisor too!
worth it
He is tough there is no question about that. But it's a pretty enjoyable challenge. The TV class is interesting and there are some good discussions. Definitely worth taking.
TV/Society
Professor Freeman is one of the smartest, on-target professors I have had. If you work hard and get involved in class discussions you will learn a lot!
Internship
Sem
THE MOST BORING CLASS AT FORDHAM!! I didn't learn a DAMN THING in that class. He was so boring, and kept us the entire time for NO REASON other than to hear himself talk. I hate the phrase "So how are your internships." Easy A, but you will DIE if you intern all day and then go there.
media indu
strie
Not a fan! Plan on teaching more than u learn, cuz he's constantly saying "tell me sumthin bout..." and "so what else?"... and u wanna say I DUNNO U TELL ME, U r the teacher moron! Didn't learn much, was very bored, and he reminds me of the teacher on Clueless...
Internship
Don't take this class with this man... he gives terrible advice!! He hasn't worked in the business and therefore it is unfair that they have him advising students about their internships in it. HE REALLY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.
TV/SOCIETY
As Comic Book Man on the Simpsons would say...worst...professor...EVER. How Fordham keeps this man on their payroll is beyond me. As a person, he's not bad. But as a professor...he's the worst thing on earth.
CMLU
Ok. everyone that has rated him so far has hardly given the guy a chance. Sure, he needs help communicating what he knows with students in a more energetic and fun way, but he's probably one of the most intelligent profs I've had! You gotta do the work!
Intro
Horrendous is not even the word. Should not even be a teacher at Fordham. God have mercy on his sole. Please do not take. Please
commun
all i have to say is run as fast as u can...i litterally slept through this class..he is as unfair as he is boring..and the light always bounces off his head..very distracting..dont take him unless u like low grades.
television
There is not much organization to his class and you don't learn much. He is very skeptical about everything and there is a good amount of reading at times.
cmru
be prepared for anything you say to be twisted into his interpretation....you get to make a name tag too
comm 101
He is definitly the weirdest man on the entire planet. And he gave pop quizzes! What the hell is that? This isn't Fordham High School...
Intro
Freeman is horredous and is a spiteful man who is totally full of ****. Dont take him. He should not be around in the first place
