Reviews of professor Rodger Friedman

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Friedman is very difficult to appreciate as a professor. He tends to be absent minded. Each class day seems tossed together rather than truly planned out. He plays games with the class to keep them engaged that are not engaging at all, let alone valuable to our learning. The homework occasionally borders on excessive. I would avoid him if possible.

I personally really liked this professor. Although he was sometimes off track, it is obvious that he loves teaching the language. You will need to study a lot and show up to class to do well, but it really is not a hard class. I did have to use some outside resources to supplement his. As long as you show up and actually listen, you will do fine.
