He's awesome. Teaches the fundamentals and doesn't worry about the useless details. If you want to learn the basic concepts and have easier exams than other profs take Badjic. He teaches by doing examples of the types of problems that will be on the exams. Dude rocks the house down.

Best ochem teacher EVER. Some say Chris Callam is the best, but that's definitely not true. Badjic is equally as clear, if not more and gives group quizzes. His exams are what you would expect, without any surprises. In my opinion, he kicks Callam's ass.

Great teacher. Very easy to understand, very helpful and fair tests. AMAZING HAIR, seriously.

Great guy. Had Callam for 251 and and this guy was much easier , however i feel like I learned a great deal from him. His exams are fairly straight forward and no curve balls. Also if you have any ochem intuition what so ever, you'll end up with an A for sure. I did it. you can too!

Clear lecturer. Quizzes/midterm/final were straightfoward, no tricks.

took both 251+252. this guy is awesome but i would not recommend if you just want to memorize rxns and mechanisms. his exams always ask to explain why something happens. LITTLE TO NO SYNTHESIS PROBLEMS!!! i expect why people do bad is b/c they just try to memorize instead of understand WHY something happens. prof is not for everybody.

i am not that smart with a 3.3 GPA i pulled out an A in this class. Exams are really straight forward. Read the textbook take notes and understand concept and dont even do the problems coz his exam problems are easier than the book no trick ?s and his class is already curved 85% u are guaranteed A- and on top of that u will haf another 5% curve

Its OChem, so its supposed to be hard. But if you had a good 251 teacher, his class is pretty easy. He was hard to follow during spectroscopy, but the rest of 252 wasn't bad. His tests are very conceptual, the averages are usually low in his class. He's helpful during office hours.

If you're premed, take this guy! When studying for the MCAT, the organic chemistry portion is really easy. I got a 14 in Bio partly because of Badjic. Plus, it's pretty easy to get an A if you do his practice problems he posts online.

Great guy and really knows how to teach chemistry. Go to lecture, take notes, and the exams will be easy (as easy as Orgo can be)

I'm in his 251 class right now and I love the way he teaches. If you do the book problems and go to class there is no reason you shouldn't get at least a B in his class. Tests are fair, if not on the easier side compared to other professors like Callam. Let's you pick when your exams are which is a plus. Way better than gen chem!

The best chemistry teacher. He is so calm and laid-back. He knows how to teach and is definitely not full of himself like some other professors.

He is one of the best professors I have had in the Chemistry department. He goes over the essentials that you need for OChem. Take notes and do problem sets and do some practice from book if you are not sure. Exams are fair.

Badjic is an awesome professor. His tests are very fair and consistent with what you learn in class. The quizzes can be taken in groups, and your lowest midterm grade is dropped. Doesn't get much better than that in the OSU chem department

The MTs are freaking HARD!!the average of MT2 is 44.85/100. If you are really good at organic chemistry, just take this class because you have a chance to drop a MT.

Although I know he's probably not a bad guy, professor Badjic is not interested in teaching. He does not walk you through things. Just comes in a minute before lecture and starts scribbling on the board and when questions are asked he is almost demeaning. If you want to actually understand and learn ochem don't take this you just end up memorizing

Very knowledgable and good professor. He does not give out what to do in lecture directly, he always wants students to use the think for themselves and use the textbook as that's directly what he teaches out of. His tests can be difficult but they are fair to his material, would recommend for anyone who wants a very good but challenging professor.

Badjic's lecture helps but isn't always necessary to show up for. The class follows the book. To succeed, a student should read the book, do the problems in the back of the book, and MOST IMPORTANTLY do the practice tests and materials several times over. These give students a chance to understand how to take the exam which is very important.

Overall a very interesting professor, he was clear about the material that would appear on exams and he was always available and helpful during office hours.

Badjic gives extremely fair exams and covers all important material in lecture. There are no graded assignments (only 1 optional worksheet per chapter) so you have to put in a lot of effort yourself by reading the book and doing book problems. He is extremely accessible outside of class if you need help and does want you to succeed.

He is a really passionate guy who tries his best to make lecture interesting. O chem is hard in general but he has very fair exams that follow exactly what he teaches in class. O chem is hard but thats not his fault. No points outside of the exams and quizzes which is rough but doable.

I was really struggling, especially at the beginning of the semester, but the final grades are curved. To do well in the course, read the textbook section before or immediately after lectures to help fully understand. DONT FALL BEHIND. If you stay on top of reading, do the practice problems at the end of each chapter and on canvas youll do fine.

Plan on being at every lecture. If you fall behind, there is NO catching up. 90% of the grade is based off of 3 midterms (lowest gets dropped) and the final. Lectures are extremely information dense; however, he is genuinely a great lecturer. Would highly recommend using Organic Chemistry as a Second Language as supplemental textbook. 9.5/10 prof.

Dr. Badjic was an amazing professor. O chem is a hard subject and requires a lot of outside work. Attendance might not be required but it is extremely beneficial if you show up. He only teaches you what is important and doesn't focus on anything that would not be on the exams. Overall amazing professor and person in general

very good professor that explains all ideas needed for class so we can easily understand and for the exams. only one quiz per week and 3 finals where one gets dropped so make sure to study and u will do perfectly fine. made mistakes here and there on practices but overall great professor that i wish i could have for ochem2. very likable and funny.

He teaches the basics of organic chemistry and only tests the basics. Pretty funny guy. He does make mistakes here and there, but there will be that one guy in class to catch him. Simple to understand. Read the textbook. Again exams are straightforward, tests what is taught.

90% of the grade relies on midterms and final but he is very clear about the material on each. Only downside is he spent a little too much time going over the easier stuff instead of on mechanisms. He was a funny lecturer and I really enjoyed his teaching style (chalkboard). I would choose to take him for ochen 2 if he taught it.

The best ochem professor. Very clear explanations, only tests what is covered in lecture.

While he may seem like a Soviet operative infiltrating the OSU Chemistry department, he actually is not as scary as he looks. Compared to other Ochem classes, he has by far the least homework (none). He is a nice guy, but there are virtually zero practice problems beside of practice exams. He also did not tell us what the cutoffs were for grades.

He looks serious but actually very nice. The course is difficult though.

Very good professor. Some occasional mistakes in lecture but he explains things very clearly. He is very clear about what you need to know for exams. The material isn't too bad if you study, but the whole course is only graded on exams and quizzes- but there are no curveballs. They only encompass what he went over in lecture.

Dr. Badjic does a great job at teaching such a hard topic. I was hesitant when I found out that he teaches on a chalkboard, but it forced me to pay attention and copy notes. He explains things in a clear-cut way. The only points are tests and quizzes, but you get one drop on each. My only complaint is my TA. Avoid Chris.

Was a bit worried when his method of teaching was the old shcool chalkboard, but if you pay enough attention then you'll pick up. Prioritize doing the problem sets as soon as possible, I believe they are the number one thing that will help you in this course. For the exams, the problem sets work better than the practice exams.

Dr. Badjic was amazing! He is good at explaining such hard material.

I personally loved having Badjic. His lecture style is very different because he only uses the chalk board but I liked it since it made me pay more attention during lecture. I think the tests are pretty difficult but completely fair, if you study you'll do great. I do recommend his office hours he seems scary but is actually nice and very helpful.

I really enjoyed Dr. Badjic. I love his lecture style, which involves writing on the chalkboard. It allowed me to follow easily since we were both writing things down at the same time. It wasn't like Baldwin, where she goes insanely fast. I really enjoyed Badjic.

Dr. Badjic is a really good ochem 1 prof. He tells u only what u need to know and makes topics very easy to understand. no homework-only exams but u can drop 1. if u like chalkboard style and are okay with reading the textbook/practicing on ur own, you should like his class. he's funny too so it helps me pay attention

I very much enjoyed Badjic! Out of all of the ochem professors at OSU, he provides 3 midterms, and you can drop your lowest grade. All of the other ochem professor's at OSU only give out 2 midterms and no drops. His quizzes are similiar to his practice sheets. His TA's are very helpful and nice. Personality wise, Badjic is a blunt and chill guy.
