Reviews of professor Karl Babij

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Took Prof Babij for a winter public speaking course. He let us out early a lot and made taking the class in 10 days fairly manageable. Is very helpful and gives you feedback after every speech so you know what to improve upon. If you can pay attention in class and take suggestions on topics you will be fine.

I took Public Speaking with Professor Babij. He is extremely straightforward on what he is looking for and what he isn't in terms of speeches, which makes them easy to prepare for. He even makes time for a small 1 on 1 conference to go over speech topics which helps you feel more confident in your topic. Would recommend!

Started the semester off by making class hybrid even though everyone taking it signed up for in person. Awful communication and unfair grader. Posts assignments and answers emails at his own convenience, which is very sporadic. Carelessly lectures the whole class and avoids student interaction. Seems unprepared for the job.

Karl Badij has some unique mannerisms. He giggles or grunts a lot when lecturing even if what he is saying is not funny. All incoming students are forewarned. He is a boring teacher and you will not miss him. I would say just to take the class to get it over with. There are only a few assignments to do so you must get a good grade on them or fail.

Very tough grader- public speaking is hard as it is for some people, and it knows that. But he will continue to not take that into consideration. I regret taking this course with him as the professor because it dropped my GPA down a ton. He even stated he will never give a 100. He deliberately graded hard because he has no control over the course

Welcome to the Karl show. The worst teacher I've ever had. Reads off the powerpoints, then includes his stories of being ghosted by women, which have nothing to do with class. Honestly feels like he just teaches so he can practice his awful comedy routine. Also doesn't give out 100s "no paper is perfect" but wont tell you what you did wrong.

Professor Babi was great for the summer course! 

He was always available when I needed to chat about the outlines for my speeches. 

He gave me good feedback on all of my speeches. 

If you put the work into this 5-week class you will feel so confident at the end. 

Totally worth it.

I didn't initially have Professor Babij, they switched to him last minute and at first I thought I was not going to like him. He turned out to be a pretty cool guy though. He has an easy outline to follow for speeches, but he also makes you nervous because he's hard to read and you wont know if you did good or not until you get your grade.
