Reviews of professor Ryan Bede

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!! He is one of the worst professors I have ever had. He does not stick to his syllabus schedule at all. He will go MIA for a while and then suddenly post multiple assignments due the next day. He is very specific about what he wants but does not tell you that he wants it. I highly recommend not taking his class!!

Professor Bede is a wonderful professor! He's obviously passionate about what he teaches and is always smiling. If you are looking for a simple elective to take, his Music Appreciation class is the perfect choice for you. There are no tests, only 2 weekly music journals, easy online quizzes, 2 concert reviews, an album review, and exit interview.

He teaches more about music history rather than music appreciation. His lectures are boring and he expects you to know everything but won't go over materials carefully. The listening responses are extremely annoying especially when you are supposed to use musical terms that he barely goes over. SAVE YOUR MONEY PLEASE

I strongly recommend to NOT take this teacher. He is very late in posting and still expects you to get everything done on time. He posted 4 huge assignments the day before finals started, plus our exit interview. The assignments and listening responses are very boring as well. Overall HORRIBLE experience.

I love Mr. Bede!!! He gave constructive feedback on our performances and singing techniques. It's a very easy class and virtually impossible to fail. All you have to do is finish all the assignments and be prepared for your performances. I always looked forward to working with him one on one because he gives such good feedback.

This teacher is awful. All he did was give links to different pages to read about the topic. He was horrible at posting assignments and was constantly behind yet still expected the students to complete everything in a day or two. He took forever to grade anything. The assignments took a long time to do and overall a very boring class.
