The lectures (twice a week) and section had absolutely nothing to do with the course and do very little to help further your understanding of required material. This course is primarily taught through pre-recorded videos which do not have to be watched for a grade but you should watch if you want to succeed.

In person mandatory lecture 1x per week. Online lecture vids + quizzes + assignments. Practice tests available but midterms were super difficult. Class avgs were in the 60s. Drops lowest scores for assignments and quizzes. Exams + final count for half your final grade so the grades are pretty padded. Have to self teach a lot!

Online lecture vids and quizzes. In person mandatory class once a week + section. Drops a few of your lowest grades across each category. Exams were super difficult - I didn't learn much in class / from vids and had to self teach a lot. Does give practice tests. Lots of assignments to pad the grade thankfully! Exams are about 50% of final grade

Lectures, quizzes, and assignments are all online and weekly, so it's manageable if you keep up. Attendance is required once a week, and in-person lectures mainly give examples. Group sections help, grades are padded by many assignments, and she drops the lowest scores. Clear exam study guides. Overall, a fair class if you put in some effort.

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
