Reviews of professor Samuel Badger

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
he drones on about stuff and it gets really boring but the assignments are easy as long as you pay attention to the lectures.

Prof Badger would oftentimes show up to class late and with little to no agenda for the day. He posts most of the readings a day or so before the quizzes are posted and due. The quizzes are very specific and confusing and can be inferential based off the readings which can be several fifty page sources . Not hard to pass, but not worth taking.

He was a great professor. Was not very strict on grading, just make sure you know the content.

Shows up late. Doesn't grade till the very end of the semester. Grades arbitrarily with no clear guidelines or rubrics. Doesn't update canvas or email back. He put a question on the final about a case study found only in the book despite us never using the book at all. Easily worst prof I've ever had in my 4 years at USF, don't care if he's "nice"

The absolute worst professor I've ever had. The only reason I did well was due to prior knowledge. Very hard to understand, I'm not sure he even understands what he's saying. Grades everything last minute, doesn't answer emails, doesn't stick to the syllabus, and has little to no guidelines on anything. The class was a joke.

This class was so boring and I think taking it online made it worse. I wasnt required to show to lectures online but I often did in hopes that it would help me write the papers he assigned. There is a LOT of reading of materials in this course and then reflection writings on those. The quizzes were also pretty detail specific.

Prof Badger is fun and offers many extra credit opportunities which make it an easy A. He doesn't post his lectures anywhere so attendance matters. There's also in class group work and biweekly quizzes. He has a 2750 word essay due as the final and 500 word homework assignments every unit.

He is a bit scattered and busy outside of campus as he would show up late and in a rush frequently. Assignments will randomly appear due the same day, and the syllabus was unreliable for dates due. However, he is extremely nice and a great teacher, and his lectures/assignments outweigh the flaws. There were some issues but I would take him again.

We are graded on less assignments/quizzes than other classes, which is good and bad. More importantly, he is not accessible outside of class for his students. You can try, but he does not answer emails and messages. Make sure you ask any questions in class.

Super easy papers. Definitely get the book, assignments based on readings and there's no pdf version. Takes late work at full credit. His lectures are very interesting and he's passionate about whatever we're learning. Tries his best to be interactive with lectures it's just dependent on whether everyone wants to actually talk or not.
