Comment:

Bedient had a rough semester this year. He cancelled over 50% of our classes, and we barely learned a thing. He had a lot of personal things going on, but we definitely suffered because of it.

Comment:

I had an extremely hard time in his 211 class. He expected students to have background knowledge in accounting. He didn't actually teach information, just simply went over examples and expected us to catch on. He was funny and told stories that were amusing, but never taking a class with him again!

Comment:

Even though the class is difficult, if you do the homework, you will be fine. Read the chapters he assigns, and go to him if you need any help. He is very relaxed, and knows a lot about accounting.

Comment:

Professor Bedient is one of the best professors I have ever had.He is always willing to help if you need it. He cracks jokes a lot if you actually pay attention and his exams are pretty easy. He would go over the big problems in class and will give a similar one on the test. MC are easy. Just need to know the definitions. Bonus questions-hilarious

Comment:

Very informed, knows the material. Easy class if you actually show up but can get confusing because of the jumbled structure. Not always prepared but still is able to teach and finish the lesson. Does cancel class a lot but still informative and appropriate.

Comment:

Bedient is a guy who would be great to have a drink with at the bar, but isn't cut out for teaching managerial courses. Not only is he unprepared, he cancels class a ton and talks in incoherent circles. I don't recommend this guy to anyone.

Cool professor, who teaches a great class. Sometimes he teaches things quite a bit differently from the book, and that's frustrating while studying, but other than that, no complaints.

This class isn't bad if you take good notes. However, it is extremely difficult to take nots with his scattered teaching style. The micromatic game is fun.

Bedient rocks! He knows his stuff but explains it so it's not confusing at all. His tests are pretty easy
