I basically taught this entire course to myself. She could have made it so easy, but unfortunately she doesn't. I had to brute force an A and it took so much longer than it should have. lectures were nothing like quizzes and tests and you're left alone in trying to learn how to apply the concepts she talks about in lectures. Quite lazy too.

Lectures have nothing to do with tests or quizzes. I had to teach myself the entire course and she makes so many errors and mistakes that make it really difficult to check your work bc she gives you trust issues. If you hate yourself and want to make your life more difficult and confusing then take this class.

Every week we had the same assignments and deadlines which was very easy to manage. Easy to study for because the midterms had the same questions from our practice tests. In the sections you work with a group and solve a worksheet (some of the TAs were not helpful at all). Most weeks we only had lecture on Tuesdays. Overall, an interesting class.

Econ 9 was a straightforward and informative class. Professor Bedard typically leads sections as well as lecture, and she has been nothing but helpful the entire quarter. Lecture attendance is mandatory and there are lots of online assignments, but the few lowest assignment grades are dropped for your final class grade.

Super test-heavy, grading isn't too bad, but she barely teaches anything in class; it's expected to watch her supplement videos on your own time. Too many assignments for a GE.

AVOID TAKING HER CLASS AT ALL COSTS. She's the laziest prof that I've ever had yet makes her course so hard. Theres two midterms and a final, The class average for the first midterm was a 66%. No curve. She's not a good teacher and you'll end up teaching yourself 90% of the class. She "teaches" the sections herself so it's hard to get to know TA's.

Bedard took Econ 9 way too seriously. made an intro to Econ class extremely difficult and test heavy for no reason. mandatory attendance and was disrespectful and rude when i tried to ask questions. like made me feel dumb for asking. would not recommend taking this course if you dont have to.

I love you Kelly Bedard best professor ever! Light workload, very clear expectations, shows you exactly how she will grade each midterm, good lecturer, and has a study session for each test too. She also comes to our sections and will walk around and help guide you through worksheets. Highly highly recommend idk why there's a couple bad reviews

Nothing much to say about the professor. She explains the slides in class, with occasional examples, but remains mostly theoretical. She writes too small on the board if you're in the back of the class. Class was hard but only because there were so few questions on the tests. It wasn't that difficult overall. Study well and you'll be in good shape.

During lecture she hardly gives examples, it's very basic, reading off the slides. You're teaching yourself in a way but still make sure to attend all lectures and sit in the front. I took her during summer, we had lecture quizzes every week, 2 midterms and 1 final. No calculators/cheat sheets/or scratch paper during exams

she is one of those professors who doesn't care about you or your grade and there's a reason they had her stop teaching this class almost a decade ago. not sure y she is back but i rlly hope for future econ majors she's gone by next yr again

Prof Bedard is an okay professor, the class itself is very test heavy so if you do the homework and read the textbook you should do fine. People do however say Econ 1 is a weeder class and it kind of is so beware if you have a deep hatred of Econ don't take this class.

Class is super straight forward and everything is clearly stated in the syllabus. There are only 100 points given out throughout the quarter so you just need to be careful of small mistakes and you will get an A.

Hundreds of complaints after each quiz/exam. Never respond or just telling you "Nothing wrong." Yes, even I got an A, this is still unacceptable. btw my friends are not as lucky as me, don't know when they will comment here.

Very good professor

Easy A+ for Econ 1.

She is very straightforward in what you need to do in the class, but when it comes to projects, students were usually left in the dark, especially if you are new to excel. She and her TAs never answered project questions clearly and students had to rely on one another for any type of real help. The quizzes and tests are all online and open book.

The class is straightforward. Tests are open book. If you watch the lectures, complete the projects, and do the assignments, I don't see how you don't do well. I genuinely enjoyed her lectures and felt that she did a great job of connecting content to practical, real life examples.

Keep up with lectures, do the practice questions, and don't procrastinate on projects. Not a hard A.

Very good professor, you will succeed if you work hard.

Have no idea why she designed the course that way. Lecture is simply repeating the videos on GS, no different from the online course. Don't know why everything is done on a paid textbook. The most stupid thing is that we cannot return to the previous question in the exam (you CANNOT CHANGE THE ANSWER AFTER YOU REALIZE YOU'RE WRONG)! Bad experience.

Prof. Bedard's lectures are so interesting, and she is really nice to the students. This is an easy class but it really depends on your TA. My friend got a harsh grader gave him low project grade, my TA grades fairly. Overall, as long as you put in effort, you can get an A!

The overall course content of the class was not difficult and easy to understand with the lectures, but the projects are what will take away from your grade.

This class was super straightforward. The syllabus explains exactly what the class will be and her lectures line up well with test content. She is amazing and I wish I had her again because she is the gem of the Econ department
