Reviews of professor Alex Badas

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures are interesting, but grading is too hard. No opportunities to raise your grade with homework or quizzes. No extra credit. Just 3 tests and an 8-10 page paper. Class is lecture based and they aren't posted online. Doesn't like students to take notes on computer but talks too fast for handwritten. Doesn't like pictures taken of sides.

Not a bad professor, but will say he needs more improvement for test reviews. Test reviews would go fast and didn't  covered as much material from the exams. He only had inquisitivies for homework. He does not post lectures notes, so go to class. He goes really fast in lectures. If you want a good grade in this class, study up, and show up!!!!!!!!!

I would not suggest taking Alex Badas. He manipulates your score with multiple choice exams counting 5% and writing comprehensive 15%. Ironically, I consistently earned anywhere from a high "B" to a low "A" on multiple choice but mid to high "C" on his writing. No extra credit, forgetful and before end of the semester I was only one in classroom.

Prof Badas doesn't understand the meaning of "it's a core class". He thinks this class is like one of his POLS classes but it isn't. Which causes a lot of mayhem in my life when I have to take courses from my actual degree. I'm not expecting this class to be a breeze or some light work, but at least cut some slack.

3 exams, 1 final and 1 paper 
Show up for class, does not post lecture slides which you need to use for studying for test.
Short easy exams broke up into written and multiple choice. Good teacher can be funny as well, does not mind if you reach out and does a good job of explaining concepts and theories. Would take again!

Badas is a great teacher, knowledgable and very fair - he will make you work for an A but it's worth it. If you make an A he'll write you an amazing letter of recommendation. The class is very reading intensive but you can honestly skim the readings if you don't skip class. His tests are an accurate representation of course material so - do well.

Professor Badas made it fun and interactive. A relatable individual and easy to talk to. Very kind to his students and always had time to make a little joke every now and then. He is knowledgeable on the subject - as if he is walking artificial intelligence. He never once NOT knew the answer to a students' question. Great lecture.

Good professor, explains concepts clearly. He does not post his lecture powerpoints online so you HAVE to show up to class. The exams are 2 days, first part is all multiple choice and the other is all short answer/ essay questions. 3 exams, an 8 page paper, and cumulative final exam. not an easy A class.
