Reviews of professor Nicholas Bedard

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
It is clear that Professor Bedard puts a lot of effort into his work. While his lectures may be dry at times, his exams are fair and it is definitely possible to do well. Occasionally he struggles to answer questions clearly in lecture, but in office hours he does a good job explaining concepts more clearly if you need further clarification.

Exams are nothing like what he teaches in class!

Kind and sincere prof.

Dry lectures, but attendance is needed for notes. Exams were fair but assignment expectations/feedback were vague. Cares about his students and is willing to answer questions and explain concepts. Reasonable with workload and special circumstances and is a fair/easy marker. Can get decently high grades with a bit of work; class average was 80%.

Bedard tries really hard, but his lectures are incredibly dry. He recites the textbook and draws everything on the board but adds none of his own material. This makes going to lectures irrelevant. Testing is all over the place, and poor marks generally get belled. Some questions are fairly straightforward while others are in left field.

The test is more difficult than the practice question, and the time is exactly not enough. He just gives us a few materials.

Bedard tries hard to be a good prof but the lectures are quite dry. EC260 was considered by many to be the easiest required 2nd year BBA course, but he made it one of the most difficult. Exams are tough although this was his first time teaching the course so I'd expect that to be adjusted in the future, and he did curve marks when they were low.

Do not take EC238 online. Took this online during rona szn and the class was way more work compared to previous years.

Poorly coordinated course, with a lack of structure and clarity. Often times I was left unsure of what was expected of us and the lack of relevant homework made studying for exams and midterms very frustrating. Took this course knowing its history of fairness and simplicity but was disappointed when I and a majority of peers felt misguided.

Midterms and exam are difficult but if you read the textbook and have a good understanding of the material its not too bad. Class isnt really needed just read the textbook and do the practice problems.

The lecture has nothing to do with the exam. It's so difficult. Avoid him if you can. What he took the exam and what he gave practice were also two different things.

Not bad, but can be unclear and also confusing when mistakes are made in examples.

Nice guy seems to care but the course was way harder than in years past and heavy on the textbook reading (which wasnt a great textbook)
