Reviews of professor John Frerichs

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The lectures didn't really help, and lab was not helpful and actually hurt my grade. The textbook helped more than anything else, so it's up to you to read and take notes outside of class. He makes himself very available for help, though! He's incredibly intelligent and intimidating but very kind. Ask. Questions. You HAVE to.

This has been one of my favorite classes of undergrad so far. He keeps every lecture fairly interesting and definitely know what he's talking about while still being able to break things down. In regards to studying, definitely attend his reviews and focus mainly on those. His tests are very fair, with few more difficult questions. Great professor.

Record his class and listen to the lectures 2-3 times! His lectures are heavy but this is a physiology class... if you arent prepared to put in hard work then you won't succeed. Ask lots of questions. Great professor who truly wants his students to succeed.

I ended up trying to self teach. He's very power point heavy without analogies. Only saving grace was the study guide and extra credit.

His tests are 100% multiple choice but it's the style that makes you second guess if you really know the material. 

Simply not a good way for me to learn.

I took phys at a different university and hated it. Taking it with Dr. Frerichs is a game-changer. He really cares about the students and passing the class. He gives good lectures and will occasionally call on students for class particpation. He's a great human being and a great professor.
