Mr. Bedard is a great teacher who can always articulate the usefulness of math. He has great enthusiasm and is able to break a problem down in terms that a non-mathleate can understand. He does most of his teaching when students ask questions from the homework instead of at the introduction of a new section. Which helps out tremdously!

He's funny. That's it. Easy class because he gives out answers but you won't learn anything and the exams are so short, if you miss a few questions you'll bomb. Not great at explaining things either. I had to retake Calc later to actually understand it.

I am truly awful at math, but prof. Bedard made it pretty bearable. He gives fun assignments that break up the schedule a little bit. He offers extra credit also. I didnt really enjoy the class, but Ill blame that on my dislike of the subject. I would take him again.

Mr. Bedard is very helpful when you need help and is very understanding! The class work was very straight forward and his work layout was not confusing at all! Any help that I needed he helped me very well with and I 100% recommend Mr. Bedard!

This class is 80% using a calculator, 10% vocabulary, and 10% mental math. Prof. Bedard offers TONS of extra credit, and I ended with over 100% in the course, and I didn't even take advantage of about 20 points of it! I only put 4.0 because I feel that I learned how to use a calculator, not necessarily math, although we make two studies in class.

Professor Bedard was so amazing!!!! Ive never been good at math, let alone statistics, so this class was definitely tough for me. Nevertheless, Bedard helped me throughout the whole semester. His office hours are at great times, he gives good feedback and is incredibly reliable when it comes to needing some extra help. Super amazing class!

Prof Bedard was super helpful with assignments and would allow us to fix assignments and give back full credit. A lot of extra credit opportunities and if you watch the lectures the homework and quizzes are easy. Exams were easy if you paid attention and did well on quizzes. I wish he taught all of my math classes. Wants his students to do well!

Professor Bedard is truly one of the best professors I have ever had at SC4. He's always available for help and he's very caring towards his students. I have never gotten an A in math before, but his lectures are extremely straight-forward. There is quizzes every week but they're very helpful. I recommend him to anyone who needs a math credit. :)

If every math teacher actually cared about the actual meaning behind math like Bedard does, the United States would be a leader in the world for mathematics. He doesn't care so much for memorizing formulas as he does actually making sure you understand what's going on with them. This guy deserves tenure if he doesn't already have it.

Absolute best professor I have ever taken in college so far. He really cares that his students do well. His lectures are amazing and very thorough. He lets you retake quizzes and assignments two to three times and gives random extra credit points here and there. I was worried stats would be hard but he made it great!

Even though I took this course online Prof Bedard had office hours and was always willing to take as long as you needed to help you understand a concept. I also like that he incorporated movies into the class that helped with some of the concepts that were covered.

Professor Bedard was an amazing prof. He truly cares about the wellbeing of his students and makes personal relationships with his class before diving into the material. The lectures are probably the best college class experience you will ever have. Very down to earth and is always willing to help with homework, quizzes, tests, etc. TAKE THE CLASS!

Prof Bedard is the backbone to the SC4 Mathematics Dept. Down to earth guy, demonstrates his love for math, and deeply cares about the student's success. If you've made it this far, Bedard won't let you fail. Although, you must put in the effort and have a willingness to learn. Online math can be tricky at times but utilize prof & other classmates!

Professor Bedard was so fun! I took him for statistics, and his lectures are always engaging and lighthearted; he always pulled a joke when he knew the material was getting too heavy. He also gave extra credit opportunities in almost every class. I would definitely recommend Professor Bedard!!

He's the worst professor I've ever dealt with. It started with missing a question on an assignment due to him using both textbooks for the assignment and he send me an extremely rude message over it. Now it's just an avalanche of him not grading what I turn in and I'm barely passing. Don't take math with prof Bedard!

Pros: 1-2 writing assignments a week, decent feedback. Cons: slow grader, NOT tech savvy (blamed me for an assignment that was glitched. multiple students had it glitched), passive-aggressive in emails. Expect: several lectures 40~ mins, 2 exams (done at home), 2 textbooks (make sure you're using the right one), and assignments due daily.
