Reviews of professor Candi Bezte

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I loved professor Bezte's class this year! She is very passionate about what she teaches and because of that she makes it easy to learn! The weekly zoom calls were helpful in the online setting and she is great at helping out and answering questions! There were no quizzes and only midterms and finals. I definitely recommend taking a class with her!

I had Candi during the pandemic for an online class, and it was the only one I took that didn't bore me to death. The information was interesting and it was clear that she understood what she was talking about. Her nexus was very well organized, and the voice-over lectures she posted were awesome. She also had a sense of humor, and made things fun.

Unprofessional. Posted large lecture video files which were difficult to access. Lectures were not at the scheduled time, she decided the lectures would be asynchronous - not what was signed up for. Very slow marker - still waiting after over a month. Tests were largely based off diagrams, very lazy test writing. Responds to email quickly.

She is a very knowledgeable prof who grades very fairly. You can make an appointment easily outside of the class to discuss concerns as she cares for her students. Some lectures were crammed with information and was a bit difficult to keep up. Definitely beneficial to show up, listen and ask questions to do well.

Very knowledgeable and passionate about the Earth and living things (her cats are adorable). Interesting lectures, even though content can be difficult. She answers emails quickly, seems to truly want her students to succeed. I would absolutely recommend her Biology and Human Concerns course, even for people in the arts, like me.

I LOVE CANDI!! Best prof I've ever had, she cares so much about the things she teaches which engages you and makes you care. Exams are based off of notes and some things mentioned in lecture, but overall not bad and no surprises on the tested material. She is what other profs should strive to be like :)

Bezte is the best! I have put off this class for many years because it was mandatory for my degree and really has nothing to do with it. While it would be hard to follow as an asynchronous class, if you watch all the lectures and read the textbook, you will be fine. seriously DO the exam practice questions, they're not there for nothing.

I came into this course thinking that I would enjoy learning about the environment and such, did not happen. Her online lectures made no sense and her TA for this course, Cora, was horrible was well. She was very picky about the littlest things and would never give good feedback about the assignment itself. I would recommend avoiding this prof
