Reviews of professor Bethanie Edwards

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you want an A, there's a lot of extra credit. But if you are taking this out of interest, she is a good researcher, not a good teacher. Tests were disorganized and flipped between online/in person. Lectures were confusing and hw was barely related to it. You need a lot of self-studying to do well. Barely used the textbook either.

Horrible. Do not expect to learn a single thing from Ms Bethanie. Nice woman but absolutely, 100% incompetent. Does not know how to teach her class. Does not know how to communicate with students. Rambles on 30 topics for an hour, no explanation of what we are supposed to learn. Challenging assignments that pertain to nothing we were taught.

speaks monotonously, does not emphasize important topics, lectures on entire textbook

Be prepared to do a lot of self-learning. The lectures are mostly not helpful; it's very obvious that she is reading from a written script. It'd be fine if the information was good, but whatever she teaches is ver segmented and often confusing. if you're gonna teach by playing 3+ YT vids/class, what's the point of me paying so much for this class?

The class was ok and her teaching was pretty ok. I felt that the lectures could be a bit boring but I think that a lot of this could have to do with it being a completely online course. She clearly cares, but sometimes it was hard to grab a few concepts. I truly think it would've been different if it was in person. It was an okay class though.

Absolutely the worst professor I've ever had. Seems nice enough but wildly incompetent at teaching this class. Extremely disorganized, class was a logistical nightmare. Lectures were hard to follow, did a poor job at explaining both big picture concepts and specific details. Do not take a large survey course with her, especially if not in STEM.

This class was quite disappointing, as I was excited to take it. I learned nothing. If you took her Oceans (c82), the class was basically the same exact thing, except she talked about herself more. Easy A if you paid attention in Oceans. She never set up any of the labs, so there basically was no lab component. She didn't seem to care much.

this class is wild. took it because the distribution seemed nice, but boy was I in for it.... Prof. is very disorganized, unclear, & fails to emphasize what's important - 0 communication. hw & exams are nothing like lectures. GSI's do most of the teaching. worse yet, textbook isn't helpful either.  if you want to save your sanity and GPA: AVOID!

Class was incredibly easy due to 100+ points of extra credit. Class mandatory for grade, although it's incredibly hard to learn anything from such messy lectures. I learnt nothing from the class and ended with an A+. If you want a free A take the course. If you want an interesting, inspiring class, look elsewhere.
