Reviews of professor David Freed

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
David Freed was one of my favorite professors I've ever taken. He is more realistic about the field of journalism than other profs and is motivated by getting you prepared for what it actually takes to succeed in freelance writing. He's tough and demanding, but for me personally that is what I needed. I would take him again.

Prof. Freed made going to class enjoyable by sparking the class's interest thru engaging discussions and interesting first-hand accounts. In JTC 496 we learned to scrutinize news using the info. gained from lectures and lecture slides. Prof. Freed is an accomplished author, journalist, and screenwriter and his insight added a lot to the class.

worst teacher I have ever taken his feedback on my papers is the thing that made me drop out of journalism forever, one paper he literally said "this is the worst thing i have ever read I gave up half way through I could not finish it".When looked over by another journalism teacher I was given praise for my writing and use of metaphors. he hated me

Professor Freed is a great teacher. His class was interesting and helpful. It is obvious that he wants his students to learn and become better writers. Professor Freed gives very detailed feedback, and expects each student puts forth equal effort to improving their story. He grades fairly provided that you do the work. I recommend this class.

Dr. Freed was my professor for MSA 601, this was my first Graduate course so I was nervous coming in, but man what a surprise to find a professor as great as him. The tests are really from personal experience but how to relate it to the teachings, not a ton of work in or out of class. Just participate, he is great is you are willing to talk.

I took David Freeds Fact to Fiction class, and I thought he was an excellent professor. He taught me the reflection, discipline, and rigor needed to improve as a writer, and I am a better writer because of him. His feedback was honest, thoughtful and remarkably detailed; he always took time to work with me or clarify something when I struggled.
