He created and has taught the department’s World Campus Qualitative Research Methods course (CAS 390). He has taught the ever-evolving honors course Rhetoric and Civic Life since its inception (CAS137H and CAS138T). He also has extensive experience teaching the department’s required basic public speaking course (CAS100A). Dr. Freymiller has presented his research at professional conventions across the country and is also represented in publications. He has received formal recognition on several occasions for teaching excellence as well as his contributions to the education of undergraduates at Penn State.
