Reviews of professor Gwenaelle Begue

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She can be genuine, but sometimes can be rude. Feels like she's bipolar to her students at times because of the way how she comes off. Sometimes she needs to tone down her intelligence because her remarks can make students feel dumb. Her office hours will help you get good grades for lab. But just be patient with her ONLY TO PASS HER CLASS.

I really enjoyed learning from her. It is true, she is tough, but she is extremely organized and makes everything easily accessible. She constantly reminds us of due dates, gives time to work on assignments, and updates any changes. She communicates well, and is very knowledgeable and wants to see us succeed. Book not required but helpful.

Interesting material to learn from the course. However, makes mistakes in how she puts her exam questions together. Can be strict on how assignments and labs are done. May get upset when students aren't understanding or following along with the material. Exams are not easy. Would be lucky to finish with an A. Take another instructor, if possible.

Hard to understand due to her accent. Very rude and makes you feel dumb if you don't understand a concept or don't do something her way. Tough grader in lab reports and exam essay questions which are a huge part of your grade. A good grade is possible but minor mistakes cost a great deal. Exams are online but that doesn't make them easy, so STUDY.

Lab reports are graded VERY intensely though I can't say unfairly (expectations are clear in rubrics). I would suggest going over your lab report with her prior to turning them in. She gives good feedback and appreciates students that communicate with her and try. Wealth of knowledge in the field, one of my favorite teachers so far just difficult.

She lectures with powerpoints which is great and has them posted prior to class. Professor has a really short temper and can get frustrated easily when you don't understand a concept. Very particular with labs. Grading is a bit ridiculous and will dock you ".25-.75" points if you add something she did not want. Study guides are provided to help.

Despite the course being complex itself, Begue is a fair choice. She is a great professor in her field. You may just have to adjust to her teaching methods. Just be patient and give time with her. She is pretty nice. As long as you study hard, you well be good. Gives extra credit.

She is intelligent and passionate about the subject and wants to see us succeed. Her canvas pages are well organized and she reminds us when assignments are due. Quizzes have material from lectures. You have to work for your grade, but it is very doable, plus you will learn a lot from her. I hope to have a chance to learn from her again!
