Reviews of professor Christian Ballam

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He was a terrible teacher and was very passive agressive. Made you feel dumb. Acts like he care but doesn't. Dont expect to pass with an A.

 He makes things so much harder than it is It's honestly weird to have your grade be used for what he calls Ballam Bucks like you have to earn those in order to drop an exam or to boost your grade by a certain percentage which I feel like isn't really worth it. The only way your going to pass is if you watch outside of class sources and ask TA/UAA

Professor Ballam is not very professional both in his convos with students 1and teaching. The content is very easy. I took precalc in high school and got an A. But he still manages to make even the simplest things complicated. When I asked him questions he would either walk away give very obscure answers and not elaborate, or tell me to Google it.

I am sure that Professor Ballam is a great person outside of class, but I ran into some issues over this course. There was definitely a lack of respect from him, and he moved way too fast while teaching, even after being asked to slow down. Our grading system was based on money, rather than points, and we had to buy our grades. It was confusing.
