The best professor I have had at Elon. This guy cares so much about you and is hilarious. He will really help you learn the material but you got to work for it. Quizes every friday but they help your grade if you study. Test are a big part and you need to do well but the other grades are not bad and can help your grade. Take this man he is amazing!

Comment:

He is very sarcastic in class so don't take it personally if he picks on you. Sometimes he can be confusing on what he expects out of certain things but he will work with you. He tends to take off a lot of points for one thing you did wrong but if you argue your point, he tends to give you some points back which is great. I've had him for two class

Overall great guy. So glad I took a class with him. He's sarcastic at the beginning and is not afraid to call on you, but once the class gets further into the semester he isn't so bad. He really cares about his students and if you make the effort he will reciprocate. He loves emailing funny things.

Comment:

This guy is a legend around campus. Very easy class if you pay attention, put in minimal effort, and laugh at his jokes. That being said, don't take his class if you can't handle a little humor because he will tear you apart. He's one of the few professors who actually wants to make a connection with his students.

Comment:

Dr.Beedle is impossible. He gives you the grades that he feels like giving and not what you deserve. He loves to see his students get frustrated and struggle. If you are taking nutrition, use the book's website because all of his tests and quizzes come from the textbook.

Comment:

If you enjoy being miserable and getting pointed out in front of the whole class when you get an answer wrong then beedle is just your man. I've had him for two classes and they are the two lowest grades that I have ever received at Elon. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASSES! ExPhys & Nutrition are both miserable unless you are REALLY good at teaching yourself

Comment:

Beedle's classes can be boring and monotinous. He tends to have his "favorites" in each class, but if you can play on his sense of humor, you will be fine. When I was a student we tended to discuss what was simply stated in the book, which was boring and added little to what I was able to read for myself. But you should know those bits and details that are stated in the book, because you will see them later on a test/quiz. He can be challenging- just try to stay positive.

Comment:

Required class; I doubt many people are very interested in it. He's fine as a person, but I can't say that I'd recommend him as a Wellness prof. Assignments weren't hard, just time-consuming. Classes were extremely boring 99.9% of the time - I'd recommend another professor if you can swing it.

The worst teacher at Elon. He won't work with you outside of class and he has multiple personalities. He only likes ESS students and he treats people unfair. Stay away from this professor and this meaningless class.

Great teacher. He has sort of a dry sense of humor but once you get used to it he seems very funny. Easy to get a long with and can have fun in class by joking around with him. Easy to get a hold of outside of class.

The worst teacher I have ever had!!! He doesn't explain any thing and is very unorganized. He makes you do unrelevant work and projects. I counted down the classes left until it was over. Do whatever you can to take from some one else!
