There isn't much to say about this class because we hardly did anything. Definitely an easy A class. Discussion post response once a week, a "vlog", a few stupid easy "policy memos" in a group, and a 10 page paper on basically any topic you want at the end of the semester. There weren't even lectures really. Or readings. Easy A.

One of the best classes I took this semester. I really enjoyed the class and I learned a lot. Prof Baghdadi has his own unique activities for an online class which helped me learn a lot both from readings and interacting with my classmates. He is very caring and is there to help everyone succeed. Read and do the assignments and you will be fine.

Dr. Baghdadi is a 10/10. Very fair and understanding. Vlog assignments are easier than originally thought. Group projects are fine too since, each group member evaluates one another -- so he knows which members don't put in the work. Take him.

This man is a gem. He gives you MANY chances to get a good grade. If you email him if you ever have difficulty with submitting an assignment, he's more than happy to be flexible. We played a "game" where you collect points through the quizzes; the top 3 students in the game (I was 3rd) receive an automatic A. What a great professor. TAKE HIM!!!!!!

Amazing professor! Class is composed of a weekly 5 question quiz that opens Friday and is due Sunday at 5 pm. Quizzes are based on the readings. One vlog project where you submit a 6-minute video discussing an assigned article. Biweekly 250-word discussion in response to a student's vlog presentation on an article. & Cumulative final.

This online class was really difficult. The weekly reading was 5 journal articles of 20-30 pages a week. 100+ pages of reading were condensed into only 5 quiz questions. The weekly quizzes are the majority of your grade. No extra credit unless you're in the top 3 of the class. I learned a lot but not worth the stress.

He is so sweet and caring about his students and am sad I couldn't take his ENC 1102 class. As long as you doing your assignments on time, you'll get an A. He's very understanding if circumstances happen and will work alongside you. His lectures are optional where he reviews basic information. Overall, love this guy to death and it's a 10/10 class.

Horrible!! Dont take him! Makes you read 35 pgs per chapter and expects you to remember everything you read. The midterm (9 chapters) and final (9 chapters) has no study guide the study guide is the book basically sets up his class to fail. Good luck trying to remember 300+ pgs for the tests and his lectures are not helpful at all

A lot of reading! I spent 7 hours readings one chapter, and could not keep up with other readings in other classes. He knows his stuff very well, but I think he was really harsh on me. I really wanted to learn in the class but was overwhelmed with the amount of reading we had to do. Learn the fundamentals of INR, if not it will slow you down!

Super friendly and sweet teacher. Not a challenging class at all. 2-3 assignments a week but not hard at all. No exams. A couple of 10 or fewer questions quizzes. The book is free. Super calm teacher. His class was my comfort class cause he just did a short lecture, went over assignments, and let us go early a lot. Great teacher. I recommend!

Nice prof but the amount of work was tedious/busy. The many assignments w/ pages of instructions linked to even more resources was often difficult to follow. He required assignments right before spring break and due Sunday at the end of Spring break (He and all of my instructors and w/ exams as soon as you return!) that there was no break at all.

Don't think twice about taking Prof. Baghdadi those who say it's a lot of work are goofy lol, it's an ENC class what do you expect every ENC class is work heavy. He's just so chill and you have like 2 assignments a week. I honestly enjoyed it because you do like a research log and it's fun.
