Reviews of professor Ioan Beldean

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One midterm with a study guide (super easy) if you study even a little. Easy grader, just use a mix of the research he provides on Carmen and a mix of your own findings. Take home final was OPEN NOTE & easy. Overall, a lot of writing, but enjoyable & not too overwhelming.

I didn't like how he taught the class. For the first day, we went over the definition of bioethics for at least 45 minutes. So, he seems to emphasize concepts I don't care about. Attendance needs to be above 90% for students to get a 100% on top hat attendance. Midterm was super easy and final was just a lot of work. He's an easy grader.

He's an awesome teacher it's like 4? long papers, 7pg, 8pg, 15pg. No exams. You have to attend like 80% of classes to get full participation credit but they're pretty fun even if you don't actually talk- it's cool material. Papers easy grader, I wrote all the day before it was due, got A's on all of them. Research heavy tho.

The class was asynchronous and he uploads the lecture videos at least a day or two before class. Very lengthy lectures. Discussion posts are weekly and graded for participation at the end of the semester. Content isn't challenging. Just make sure you watch the videos and take decent notes. Beyond, he doesn't communicate much but he was very nice.

Clearly passionate for the subject, and picks interesting and informative readings for the class. Easy grader. One of my favorite courses ever (and I've taken a lot).

Great lectures and he really wants you to engage in the material through your own perspective. GO TO CLASS, it will really pay off. Papers were very easy and there were only two, but some advice, don't procrastinate on his take-home final, it seems easy but left alone will take you HOURSS.
