 Fradel is hilarious, down-to-earth, and my favorite professor I've ever had. His class is NOT hard if you go to class and take notes well.

 Brilliant teacher with an excellent mastery of his subject. Is very funny and makes class interesting. attendance not mandatory but you get extra credit for going. The tests aren't hard you just need to memorize an huge amount of material. if you have an interest in traveling and cultural geography then this is a great class but not an easy A.

 Awesome guy, funny lectures and really helpful outside of class. He has an electric personality and is very animated. You will get exhausted just sitting through class. There is a lot of material and this is not an easy A, take it pf if you can. I loved the class.

 This teacher is awesome. He's very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. Do NOT be late to class or use a phone though, he'll kick you out. He tells you everything you need to know for tests, so if you take good notes you'll do just fine. Not too hard of a class overall, and Fradel is great!

 This teacher is awesome. He's very knowledgeable & has a great sense of humor (as long as you're not easily offended). Do NOT be late to class/use a phone though, he'll kick you out (stickler for rules). He tells you everything you need to know for tests, so if you take good notes you'll do just fine. Pretty easy class overall, and Fradel is great!

 Hands down he's the best professor I had at FSU! He's got videos and stories from his travels all over the world that make the class relevant and interesting. Sometimes he is absolutely hilarious. You never want to miss class. Also: no textbook required! Tests can be hard and you have to study.

 Pros: This guy is AWESOME! If you don't have a stick up your a**, then you'll love him. Tests are directly from his lectures, so you must go everyday.
Cons: You can't be a second late to class, or you will be humiliated. Go to class everyday because you'll miss 2 pages of notes, and the notes will be on the test.
