Great, respectable professor. Friedman gave good feedback on assignments as well. Lots of in class writing assignments and sometimes makes you share them with the class.

Great professor understands that we have lives outside of school. Doesn't grade too harshly and will give extensions when asked. Overall really great, would definitely take again

Great professor! His lectures are engaging and his assignments are clear along with their criteria. Even if you don't quite get it the first time he allows you to revise it and offers extra credit opportunities which I believe were helpful in actually understanding the material. If you are on the fence about taking him I say do it!

Awesome professor! He is really cool and makes the instructions for his papers and assignments very clear. We do fun in class activities and he is very helpful and knowledgeable. There are a few papers, one being an 8-10 page research paper but it's not nearly as scary as it sounds. Highly recommend!

Jacob knows how to teach academic writing. Please do yourself a favor and take ANY class that has Jacob as the professor. He's also easy on the eyes :)

I took the Algorithms class. Weekly discussion post & gives u time in class to do it. In class discussions were interesting & engaging, participate. One group project where u lead a discussion. One final paper (mine was 10 pages) but gave 0 feedback and NO GRADE. All he did was submit my final grade for the class on my transcript. Not very helpful.

Professor Friedman is a super cool and laid-back professor. His lectures are not boring and the assignments are interesting. He does not assign many things and is an easy grader when he does. He definitely cares more about participation than reading/work. The class was an easy but interesting course & he was an understanding prof. Would take again!

He was a chill grader, understanding, and respectful of our time. Great student samples for assignments, and you pick topics you're interested in. Very approachable and helpful. The class topics and lectures were usually interesting as well, although sometimes there were short in-class busy work activities. Take him if you get the chance!

Cares about student success and material retention. Great speaker during lectures. Allows for revisions to all work and offers ample extra credit opportunities. Gives helpful feedback on written assignments as well.
