Reviews of professor Alex Badas

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Only grades were Inquisitive and tests, which weren't hard as long as you showed up to class, 50 questions, nothing complex. However, he does not post the lecture, so even though attendance is not mandatory, I recommend that you attend. He does go fast in the lecture, but does not mind if you take pictures or ask to go back. Overall pretty chill

The class is almost entirely lecture based with very little discussion. While Dr. Badas is a good speaker, he is condescending when students are struggling or are uninformed about concepts or facts not covered in the course. This discourages students from actively engaging with the topics covered or fully understanding the course material

This professor does not put notes into canvas, he talks to fast when going over the notes in class, a majority of the stuff he asked us to go over to review for the test are not on the test, and if it is its worded so poorly that your left confused. I do not recommend this class if you really care about your Gpa.

Badas cares about improving his teaching and updates his class every year based on student feedback. This is my second time I've taken one of his classes and the course material is great. The tests are easy if you show up to class and take good notes. He is very fair, if you deserve an A, you get an A. I've never once felt cheated in his class.

Dr. Badas is very knowledgeable about the material and overall he is a good professor, and easily accessible through email. However, your grade is based merely off of exams and one paper that is typically around 8-10 pages, which is also 20% of your grade. If you're looking for an easy A, this is not a class I'd recommend.

Likable guy and the subject material is not very difficult. His lectures are the definition of "goes through slides too fast", but they were archived so we could rewatch after class. 3 tests, 1 paper, and a final.

Professor Badas is a good professor who explains his material clearly. The lectures are fast paced and led by Powerpoints so note taking is easy, but you must attend the lectures since they're not posted on Canvas after. The exams are straightforward and simple, and as long as you study properly it should be easy to get an A in the course.

Dr. Badas is an alright professor. He knows what he is talking about, but he forgets that not everyone is a fast learner. He talks way too fast & goes through the slides way too fast. He does not post slides online and he does not like it when students take pictures of the slides. I never get to write down all the notes because of how fast he goeS.
