No complaints here, do good on the 3 essays and you will be fine.

Prof. Bedard is strict when it comes to being in class on time and being present. However, this helps keep the class flowing and benefits the overall value of the class. I would take her again now that I know her, but going into it she seemed tough. Really a great professor, but is very strict when it comes to due dates.

Professor Bedard isn't a terrible teacher, but she can definitely be intimidating. She makes class go by fast with her group discussions and videos. My only problem with her would be she expects you to figure out certain things on your own. She builds a lot of independence in her students.

Professor Bedard is a very harsh grader and leaves more rude comments than constructive. Grading takes forever. Has a lot of knowledge/ experience but comes off as very pompous. Absolutely no extra credit. She is condescending and offers no flexibility or understanding. Take this class with a different professor. This class is ruining my GPA.

I was in her online, asynchronous developmental writing skills class. She definitely has some boring lectures and doesn't post most of the slides on halo. She doesn't grade or give feedback well at all. She always says she needs cameras turned on but I have never been docked for having it off and I've been doing it for 97% of this semester.l

Honestly, I struggled in this class because she did not ever give useful feedback so I had no idea what I was doing wrong. I even had my older sister (GCU senior) proof read my essay and she said it had great format, but then I would get a zero on every essay for format. She is very sweet and funny but I would not recomend her.

Terrible instructor. Find someone else to teach this useless course.

She really taught me a lot in this class. She is a tough grader so dont expect to get by off of little work. Honestly though, she gives clear instructions so just do what your told and youll be fine.

How is this person allowed to teach at all? She spends most of the class talking about herself with no objective. She is incredibly passive aggressive and bitter. Forget this class, ask for another instructor.

She is very nice at times, but also is a businesswoman, and is not very good at explaining subjects. Her directions are unclear a lot of the time, and the class overall is pretty irrelevant and useless. She has great stories to tell and lots of experience in the business field, but it is not the best when it comes to teaching.
