This prof.will not bore you.He's funny and soo strange, but in a good way.He WILL make you work for your grade, but also works with you to make sure you do not fail.He's all about us students.
I would take classes from him just to learn. He is down to earth and in touch with his students. Just complete the required reading, express your opinions and you're golden. He runs a tight ship so be prepared and you'll learn something.
Is nothing but helpful and eager to see what you have to offer. Speak up and participate in class and you will enjoy every minute of his lectures.
He is a very entertaining and intelligent professor. Just pay attention to his lectures (entire class period tends to be lecture) do the reading required (never hard), and the essay assignments (about 4 or 5). And always have a good dictionary on hand.
He's a very very strange little man, but he's interesting none the less. Dont take his class if you dont like reading. He assigns lots of reading and requires good handwriting when it comes to essays. GET A DICTIONARY!
He is a very absent minded prof... but cool though.
THIS GUY IS SO SMART THAT HE IS INSANE!! IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE ABOVE "B" IN HIS CLASS. HE CUSSES ALOT AND IS STRONGLY OPINIONATED.I LEARNED ALOT BUT HAD WORKED MY BUTT OFF. THIS IS A TIME CONSUMING CLASS W/MAJOR ESSAY DUE EVERY WEEK!
I am really enjoying this class. It is an 8:40a.m. class and he sure knows how to keeep the class interesting and helps keep me awake. He likes to talk a lot and tell a lot of stories. He also sings a lot. You'll enjoy his class but it'll be difficult.
I had Mr. Badrich for the 2nd summer semester. I've gotta say I really enjoyed his class. Definately not a boring moment. If you like to read and learn a lot of background about what you're assigned to read I highly recommend his class.
This teacher is rather strange. But be aware! His teaching style was not helpful. He is the type of teacher who jokes off during the whole class and gives you quizzes over nothing related to the topic what you were suppose to read.
I loved Mr. Badrich, he's a cool dude. We always talked after class about the literature or anything I didn't understand. It's not hard work at all, at least to me. I took it during summer so keeping up with the readings was the only real work. I thought the papers were interesting and easy.
This Professor is very knowledgable. I ended up taking him for all of my English and writting classes. He is veryu helpful in class and in his office. He is one of the few teachers that understands that People have lives, Jobs, kids, etc. outside of class and studying.
This professor really cares about his students. He will work with you so you can pass his class. He does tell alot of off the wall stories, but they are interesting. At times, he gets emotional with tears. Just read the assignments, his class is not hard at all. I would take him again.
Best Professor I have ever had for English. The best way that I can think of to describe his personality is Robin Williams in Dead Poet's Society. Be prepared however, this isn't a class you can fall asleep in; he has weekly readings, essays over the readings, and constant use of dictionary.
I took Mr. Badrich for my first class back to school in over 10 years. It would have not been for him I would have quit and never come back. He has been one of the most patient and inspirational teachers I have ever had. He is very laid back and down to earth.
HIS CLASSES ARE GREAT. HE'S A BIT ECCENTRIC BUT' DOWN TO EARTH. HE WANTS YOU TO THINK. I REC'VED AN A. I READ THE MATERIAL AND SHOWED FOR CLASS(LITTLE TO NO NOTES). HE EVEN TELLS YOU HOW TO WRITE A GREAT PAPER.
While he has interesting things to say, overall he's far too eccentric, and rambles way too much. When I say rambles, I mean he speaks of things that are not related to course work at all.
Mr. Badrich is an awesome teacher! He's friendly and helpful and full of tons of interesting facts. He is also very flexible and looks to quality of work over quantity. This is one of those teachers I believe that, even if I never take another one of his classes, I'll never stop learning from.
Mr. Badrich was my most influential teacher. His teaching of the material dug underneath the surface and made you think critically about the material in a fun and interesting way. He has alomost dqaily quizzes and two or three papers. Very helpful and fun to listen to lectures. "Labor Omnia Vicit"
Other profs don't hold a candle to this guy. He has a passion for what he does and is extremely understanding when it comes to the students' schedules. I would take him again! He was amazing!
good guy
best teacher i ever had. right wingers, stay away
This professor is amazing. He loves what he's doing and has a great passion for teaching. He's one of the best professors I've had. I recommend taking any of his courses. He really cares for his students.
TAKE HIM! finish summerI and now in summerII w/him. a great teacher who is goin to teach u a lil of everythin. a lot of info; he jus wants students 2 be informed. don't let his weird actions push u away the 1st week.i understand how u feel. u goin 2 learn a lot and he always have time 2 help u out. recommended
Badrich does try to engage each student. I liked him but he is OUT there. I was unable to complete his class due to my work schedule so i am unsure how hard he is on grading. As most are in English/Lit he is VERY liberal.
Great person and instructor. He's very helpful and always willing to look over papers not associated with his classes. He's one of those guys that is so smart that he's almost crazy. Any questions you can e-mail me at [email protected].
Badrich is a great Instructor with degrees more than boiling point. He can teach everything from world history to stem cell research and government. He try to show the real image of our broken school systems and goverment. He is the best teacher I ever had in college. He if show interest in his class and do your works you can easily get an A+
best teacher i ever had. personable, funny and helpful. also very involving so you won't be bored
badrich is a great teacher, he is involving and fun. just do your work and youll be fine. he told me that i was gonna fail the class for the first few papers i wrote then out of nowhere he thought i wrote a great paper that he even made copies for the class before even talking to me. i got a A just like that, he is very willing to help you and just sit down and have a conversation with you.
He makes the topics very clear and easy to understand. He's willing to do a lot to help his students succeed.
This professor is the best professor ever!!!! He's such a hippie, it's hilarious. Does anyone know or have his email address. Would like to get a recommendation from him. Plz post it here if you know. PLEASE!!!
Badrich is by far one of the most interesting, passionate, knowledgable, personable teachers I have ever come into contact with. I absolutely love his class. I wish more teachers were like him. He's a very upbeat, funny guy. He really knows how to relate things well, so if you're ever having trouble with anything just talk to him. He'll find a way to make sense of anything to you. If you do your work and put forth your best effort you will definitely get a good grade from him. A++! Definitely take Badrich!
outstanding teaching;very passionate.
This class was horrible. HE talked about random nonsense the whole class period then expected us to know what he expected on our assignments. Totally would not reccomend Badrich.
He is rather eccentric, but a very interesting guy. There are a lot of papers, but he is good at helping you figure out what you want to say; so if you are a "graphophobe," don't be daunted! He is interested in his students and good about encouraging them to get the most out of their education. Class time is fun; it's more discussion than lecture.
I am not an Eng major & hate to write papers but Mr. Badrich made my classes very interesting.He is so far one of the greatest teachers I have had. May seem weird at first but is a really cool guy. Not only is he very funny but he is also very, very knowledgeable on many subjects. He's a very intellectual man & his courses are challenging.
very easy class but often boring if your not interested in literature hes not too strict about attendance or assigments hes a little disorganized, if you dont understand his views of the readings theres always help from sparknotes.com
Probably one of the best. Not easy, but very understanding that students go through tough times and are preoccupied with other things; however, only to some extent. Connects real world issues to readings. Very funny, enthusiastic, and is not afraid to show emotion. Take him for English 1301! Do your reading and you'll make an A.
This man is a an incredible man. I will never forget him. He requires a lot of work but he is also understanding. He's always available to talk to you and help you with your paper. He does everything he can to help his students pass with a good grade. Learn from him he will teach you more than you thought possible. He truly cares about his students
Very enthusiastic,interesting,very knowledgeable. I was not a reader, but his assignments opened my curiosity for more knowledge. I learned how to write essays! He teaches with detailed organization and will work with you. Just read his assignments, and show up for class. He is one of the best teachers I've ever had. Thanks Mr. "B"!
One of the coolest teachers at SAC. If you dont like him your probably just too right wing conservative. Open your mind up to different opinions now and then Bush-lovers. Badrich is by far also one of the most well read individuals walking this planet!
This man is honestly the best! He helped me get through this course and is very understanding. I turned in papers late and I still got an "A". The readings he gives you are also interesting. Take him he is AWESOME!
the best english teacher around SAC. He is very understanding and helpful i would recommend him to anyone Funny guy and open minded kinda hard but the teacher makes it fun and easy
No Comments
AMAZING! CHANGED MY OUTLOOK ON ALOT OF THINGS! VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES!
Best teacher. Take this guy. He is very understanding and down to earth. He will do his best to make sure you pass.
A very great man with an awesome love for teaching. I recommend everyone to take this teacher and become enlightened.
He is a very passionate instructor, but he gets off the subject of teaching way too much. It's like sitting in a history or government class with him, and watch out for the water works. He will start to cry, talking about his experiances and past. Very weird sitting in his class. I would take someone else if possible.
He was one of the funniest teacher i ever had
overall great teacher, passed me even tho i had a bunch of problems come up all at once and wasn't there for half the summer semester. the passion he has creeps me out at times, he gets in your bubble alot. but it wasn't something i'd say i hated about him nor drop the class for. one of the best engl classes i've taken, got me back into lit!
Badrich is amazing. He's funny, passionate and has this insane ability to relate anything to anyone. He's the most helpful teacher. His class isn't necessarily easy, but if you ask him for help when you need it and take some of his advice for your writing, you'll do great. I got an A in that class and it feels good because I earned it.
I took Mr. Badriche's Brit-lit course and was blown away. He is a sincere, funny professor. He is very passionate at what he does and really wants prople to form an opinion. If you are a good student there will be no problems, if you have a hard time sitting in a chair, especially for an English class, he is funny enough to keep you up.

Mr. Badrich is my favorite teacher so far! The first day, he was kinda intimidating at first; I thought he was going to be very stict. But as I got to know the guy, he was very very helpful. He wants all his students to pass and will do anything to help you pass even if you don't get it. Just do your part, read, and he'll help you make it! I got an
Mr. Badrich is a great professor, he is always willing to help when ever you need it. If you don't have a paper on the due date, he let's you turn in papers late. If you ever have any problem about an assignment, he's there for you to help. He helped me a lot, I will always turn in the essays late.
Mr badrich was very helpful.. aslong as you turn in your work and looke intreste by talking to him about yout essays he will pass you he is a very funny teacher... i learend so much history with this professor... he is very passionate in his teaching.. dont be surprised if he starts cring when he talks about some history events... he is great!
Mr Badrich is a CRAZY character but also seems to be very passionate about his job. He really wants to make a difference for the students at SAC. I enjoyed his class but didn't always agree with his religious stand point which he makes very apparent
Mr. Badrich was an awesome Prof. Very helpful, and personable.Requires 3 papers varrying from 3-5 pages in length. Final was super easy. Comes off as being weird and eccentric,but he is really funny. Cares a lot about world events.Read all his articles and textbook assignments and you will do fine. My sisters took him in college and now I did!
He was the best teacher, made my look on life so much different. Yes i didn't always agree with him, but that is okay. He opens your eyes to see things the way they really are! Great and helpful teacher, will take more classes from him when possible.
Dr badrich is the best. He has had a great inpact in my life and if you take his course I am more than sure he will make an impact on you too.
Mr. Badrich is a great teacher. He will keep you awake and amused. Just make sure you always bring your books and a dictionary, do your work and enjoy his performance.
The best... He is a genius and quite a likeable man. Kinda on the wierd side, but very knowledgable. Try to get into any class he has... Introduction to Sci-Fi was a great one at that.
He is an AWESOME MAN!! I loved this class. He inspired me to read more and to become more well rounded. This was one of the BEST classes I had at SAC. He has truly led an amazing life. He is so passionate about English it keeps you interested. Read the stories he asks and you will be fine. You will have some of the best conversations with him.
If you are an English Major this isn't the class for you. He is funny and a very smart man but I didn't learn much in the course.
Mr. Badrich is the definition of unique. While he is known to tangent into far off places, he also maintains an order to style. If you pay close attention and do all required reading, he will see to it that you not only pass, but you will also learn quite a bit. He genuinely cares about his students and will help you to an A grade.
Mr Badrich.. This guy was definately awesome. He blessed me with alot of knowledge, but also may have dropped my self esteem by a notch. Mr. Badrich will teach you that you are really insignificant to the world. He grades by effort, not by ability. He is as hot as a smokestack. Boom chicka boom boom.
To call this man entertaining would be a gross understatement. His humor and teaching is not for everyone, especially not for the faint of heart. Bring your books, read the handouts/essays, and write the papers. He is easy to speak with and he'll help with anything that he can. I'll definitely be taking this man again in the summer for 1302.
This man is my "Literal Jesus" per say, litterally speaking with a literary reference lol. Seriously, he is the most bluntly truly opiniated man I know. With great respect for him and Gorgeous Martha, I can say that they have had a tremendiusly positive influence on my life. I'd just like to say thanks,
This guy is absolutely amazing! I have never taken so much away from a class. You need to read in order to follow in class but the enlightenment and personal discovery is well worth every minute!!! I will definetley be taking more of his classes
He is Awesome! Yes i will not lie he does require you to read your book and do the essays. but as long as you do read and try you will be fine. He is on your side. And you will end up learning more than you paid for. i was very happy with him. i will be taking him again.
He's funny and knows his stuff, but he tends to wonder off topic for a while, and slowly makes his way back.
Mr.Badrich is a very ineresting teacher. If you care enough of what you make yourself in life he is there for you. He teaches and preaches in an unusual manner. His stragtic way of teaching is so silent you barely know you are being taught! His conversation is no less than educational. He is by far one of thee best teacher i have ever met!
He is such a good professor. I strongly recommend that you read your assignments and do your essays. He is there to help whenever you need it. I do admit that his ways of teachings may not traditional but that is a good thing.
Upon first meeting him, i was a bit uncomfortable. I expected the class to be super easy since he had great reviews. The class is CHALLENGING. If you're lazy, stupid and/or ignorant, dont take his class, better yet, dont attend college. This man has changed the attutude and effort i put toward my education. Amazing. Brilliant. Intellegent.
UNUSAL, ECCENTRIC, PASSIONATE, FUNNY, INTELLIGENT, INSIGHTFUL, OPINIONATED. GREAT PROFFESSOR. MAKES LITERATURE WHAT IT SHOULD BE; INSPIRING. NOT FOR THE UPTIGHT SORT...YOU WONT BE ABLE TO APPRECIATE HIS BRILLIANCE.
I agree with the previous comment. Professor Badrich is eccentric and brilliant. He is the reason I became an English major. Listen to what he has to say. He's experienced many things that most of us haven't. Just ask him. I remember he once said, "I have more degrees than a thermometer." A strange man, indeed.
This professor was a joke. I do not understand why students say his lectures are great. They are a waste of time and ridiculous! Don't waste your time and money taking his class.
I don't know about english professors at other schools, but he is the best one I've ever had! Easy to talk to, but you MUST HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR if you want to enjoy his class.
Mr. Badrich doesn't demand a lot from his students. You have to buy the book, show up for class and make an effort to understand the material and put your essays in MLA format. (Do a search for MLA owl. It saved my butt.) His lectures are entertaining and you will leave his class with a greater knowledge about English, politics and history.
this guy is a trip and a half. the lectures are hard to keep up with sometimes because he has a lot to say about everything. he's really helpful and quite funny. the work isn't hard just always do the readings. easily one of the greatest teachers i've ever had.
weirdest teacher i have ever had, didnt understand him at all but some people thougt he was hilarious I DIDNT! never stayed on subject didnt learn crap
what can i say about this guy hes from another planet... he did tooo many drugs in his days.... you will never understand what the hell he is saying.... this class was a wast of time!!!!!!!!!
Worst teacher I have ever had. I won't lie at times hes funny but the class is a waste of time&money. My whole class was always frustrated and skipped because he never did anything in class!! He acted like he was always drugged up, I can appreciate strange humor but this teacher is horrible. He also made too many jokes that were offending & ****.
For those of you with a sense of humor and an open mind-- Dr. Badrich is intelligent, funny, and helpful. He expects his students to speak and write proper English. He assigns some readings and a few essays. Easy quizzes. His lectures are mostly unrelated to his assignments. He's very entertaining.
Yeah, he is weird jaja. However, his lectures are always interesting. He knows lot of Spanish and Mexican culture even though he is native American. You just need to appreciate his weird way of been. He just wants you to read, and pay attention. Easy guy!!!
Just A-W-E-S-O-M-E
He has a big heart and He looks at your human side. He is just a great professor!
Dr.Badrich was the best english teacher I ever had. He was extremely helpful when I was going through a tough time at home. He let me make up assignments and do extra credit. Yes he maybe a bit spacey but his class is worth it. He will whip your english into shape.
Best teacher ever! He really understands you as a person &can see directly to your human side,has a very big heart,he is very understanding &can give you advice that you can use long term for the rest of your life. He has made me a better person &to see the world from all types of different perspective. Badrich is a prodigy walking this planet!
One of the most interesting, passionate and entertaining teachers I have ever taken. If you need structure and everything spelled out for you...don't take Dr. B. You have to try and think for yourself. Bring your Dictionary trust me!
RUDE AND ABOVE ALL HORRIBLE TEACHER. Take at your own risk.
This guy is very knowledgeable, but he really shouldn't be in the classroom. By far the worst teachers I've had, and I love English! He rambles on about nothing, and seems to be suffering from a bipolar issue. He mocks society and SAC, and while it may be funny at times, it is rather inappropriate. Avoid this guy, you'll be doing yourself a favor!
Mr. Bardich is a great and intersting professor,at 1st i did not like him nd wanted 2 get out his class but he is very understanding nd is willing to work with u, as long as u show effort!he has a different way of teaching nd it bugs him how the society is now always on their phones nd knows who the kardashians r but not the our president.hes great
Take this class! Badrich is an amazing teacher. He will turn you into an overall better thinker. But if you prefer watching re-runs of Jersey Shore, rather than read a book; you might not have the spunk.
Ridiculous professor. Went off on tangents most of the class period. Puts students down by saying, "it's not your fault you all are morons." If you like to be put down and feel like a complete idiot after class take this professor.
Very interesting and knowledgeable. He is also funny. Cares about students and society. Will help you better understand the world. Available if needed. Helpful, but needs to be asked. Overall, great class! Only those who don't want to learn or want to put the least amount of effort, probably will not like his class.
If you can take his class. He is very into the subject and makes things very intreasting. He does everything he can to help his students and will even meet outside to help with anything on the paper. By far one of the best professor I have ever had. He does what he loves and loves what he does.
The only thing this professor talks about in class is how all his students went to "punk rock high" and didn't have to do any work. He is constantly going off on tangents and honestly doesn't teach the class anything to make them better writers, even though the class is over composition.
This professor is either love or hate. If you come to class and actually put in effort, and can stand a little insanity this is for you. If you are apathetic or just want a pure straight edge class, don't bother. This guy loves his job and cares. He was extremely helpful
I started as a math major, but because of him I changed my major to English. I have graduated from college with an English degree. and I owe it to Dr. Badrich. He brought out the best in me and inspired me to be creative, and to think beyond the obvious. I still carry my dictionary every time I teach in my classroom, and I use it almost every day.
Okay Mr. Badrich is not the most horrible teacher you will ever have, but he's definitely not the greatest. I found myself always dreading his class because he mainly just rambles on about how high schools don't actually teach anymore, and as much as that may be true, I would rather him teach the class. I do not advise willingly taking his class.
Mr. Badrich seems a bit crazy at first (and from then on), but is really a great teacher. I have taken two classes with him and I enjoyed them both. He makes you really think about the topics and makes the class fun and entertaining. taking his class is no "bummer" as he would put it.
One of KIND! Totally enjoyed his class and his rants. He truly cares about his students. Read the assignments,turn essays in on time and participate = A
Fantastic Professor! I Enjoyed going to his class and always looked forward to it! He was very funny and was always cracking jokes! Hes very helpful and understands when work should be turned in. i highly reccommend him!
if you're expecting him to stay on topic dont hold your breath. Very interesting, I'd wake up early for his class and wish he had more classes to offer! learned an incredibly amount about more than just literature. if you expect to get an A because you have a pulse..wont happen. interaction mandatory.
To quote Hamlet: "Though this be madness, yet there is method in it." That sums up Badrich. Brilliant, passionate, understanding guy. Somewhat unhinged, but that comes from the wealth of experience he has and teaches through; always entertaining. Not the easiest prof, but certainly the most helpful. 4 courses with him, got all A's.
This gentleman is PHENOMENAL. Your mind will stretch while you laugh (and his book recommendations are wonderful). I can't wait to take another class with him.
Wonderful teacher and person. Will guide you through your college English course with pristine knowledge.
i personally did not like the class. it was soo boring and he just rambles on and on about senseless things.in form of easiness hes class was so easy to pass! but i wouldnt take him again.. i mena hes a nice guy and all but just too boring for my taste
I really enjoy his class. Before him English class was EXTREMELY boring for me. Now i actually enjoy attending his class. His recommendations on books are the best. TAKE THIS CLASS.
WOW! I used to post on my FB frequently, "My professor cried today." But, aside from the emotional breakdowns, he's brillant. He's difficult to follow at times b/c he flows into whatever is on his mind, which can be utter nonesense, of which he somehow reels in w/the subj. I loved him, as I do the theater. Such a passion for life and literature.
he is amazing !!!!!! yes at times he does ramble off into different stud thats irrevelant to english ! but you can tell he cares about his students ! i guarentee you will leave his class knowing something or reading a book he recommended !
This man is brilliant! He speaks with such passion, he truly cares about his students! He isn't an easy professor but this is college! If you take him I promise you, you will learn from him! I will take him again next semester!!
Prof. Badrich really made an impact on me. He was such a passionate teacher and was always so well informed and interesting when giving lectures. A kind man too, he would offer his time, heart, and possessions to anyone that was interested. I highly recommend this class; even if you hate English, you can't hate Prof. Badrich.
There are so many words to discribe pro. Badrich. By far one of the most wonderful teachers I've ever had! His passion, his love, the way he speaks on literature and english is absolutly inspiring. He cares about his student, if you need help on ANYTHING he is there 100% of the way. soak in his wisdom!! I mean it.
Mr.Badrich is a great professor! He cares about his students, I'm taking his 1302 class in the fall. A lot of idioms in class! He talks a lot. Do the work and go to class and you'll be fine! He gives good insight on writing.
Gets off topic all the time!! he should have been a history teacher
Professor Badrich is really something else, but hes a great teacher he really cares about his students and wants every one to do well. He does get off topic almost all the time, and a little bit of a joker, just be prepared if your going to take his class.
Warnig before entering his class please take a Tylenol because you WILL have a headache at the end of every class you take him. He spend 88 mins talking about his experiences which are not even related to the English course and in the last 2 minis explains the homework which the whole class does not understand as he goes really fast. quizzes suck
I think prof. Badrich is a great teacher. He's a bit of a joker, goes off topic most of the time but i truly enjoyed his class (i used to hate English). DON'T let he scare you on the first day of class tho;)
Took him 1302 - awesome teacher he really does care bout his students ! Don't let him scare you on the first day ! We need more teachers like him he really focuses on the essence of the topic at hand , very well educated and knows his stuff ! Highly recommend took him for 1301 1302 and world lit
Mr. Badrich is the best teacher I've ever had. He is extremely helpful and understanding, and is very entertaining as well. Students leave his class with a better understanding of the world, as well as the subject matter. You will never fall asleep in this class!
THE BEST.
GET OFF TOPIC ALOT BUT IS WILLING TO HELP
Great Professor! If you need a text book, he will personally get it for you with no cost!
Mr. B. is super cool. He dresses like a hobo and gets off topic a lot... I actually enjoyed his class. He is intelligent and has a lot of knowledge. I totally recommend him.
Interesting, entertaining, understanding and goes off topic at times. I have a better understanding of today's world but if I had to say what I learned was how to memorize poems. Overall, it was a fun class.
He's an awesome professor! If you plan on taking him be sure to go in with an open mind! He makes you look at the world differently. He's a super nice guy, and jokes a lot. So if you get offended easily DONT take his class. We did like 4 essays through out the semester. Fairly easy and you'll learn bunches! He does tend to go off topic a lot.
He is a laid back, fun, interesting man. I would not worry about taking test, very easy professor. He just cares that your there in class and you listen to him. I highly recommend for any English class. He loves his students and really is a genuine man. Easy A if your attendance is good and you do the little things he asked for. Not hard at all!
I can't say enough about Professor Badrich - if you have the opportunity to take him, do so. He's a little "old school" for some, in that participation in his course does not require technology. He's an insightful and kind man with such a great heart. He really, REALLY wants to students learn and grow.
As a second language leaner, 1302 is hard to me, but Dr. Badrich made everything easy to work with. all you need to do is come to class, finish his requirement, turn off phone, and come to class with a heart full of soul.
Took this guy for my World Literature class, and man was it a good time. He went off topic practically every lecture, so other than 2 pretty easy essays you basically had to just show up and pass. Also the nicest and funniest professor I've had at SAC.
DON'T TAKE THIS MAN FOR BRITISH LIT, WORST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER TAKEN. HE MAKES MY ANXIETY JUMP THROUGH THE ROOF. Calls students stupid, treats us like babies.
Dr. Badrich is amazing. Lectures are amazing. He can go off topic, regardless, great instructor. Yes there are papers to write but, he is always helpful with your work. He's vintage, lol. NO electronics on in class or in use in class!! Sit up straight, look him in the eyes when he lectures. Anyone can make an A in his class.
Easiest English class I ever took. He is funny and gets off topic a lot. All we had to do is write two papers and remember some poems. He does not like cell phones! So hide your cell phones. Dr. Badrich is brilliant just comes off very blunt. Take him not only will you pass but learn a thing or two. Wish we had more professors like him.
All around great man. He has a ton of knowledge and he definitely knows what he's talking about. Cares about his students a lot.
hilarious, crazy, passionate about his lectures. he totally wants you to be creative with your thoughts on your essays, must be in MLA format. HE WANTS YOU TO PASS, easy A if you do what he asks, MUST HAVE YOUR BOOKS, DO NOT SKIP CLASS, NO CELL PHONES, TAKE NOTES. if you take him for comp engl I be sure to take him for comp engl II
Professor Badrich could be a little bit confusing at the beginning, but he is very nice. Expect a LOT of reading, and pop quizzes about your assignments, which is not crazy, you just have to be a college student and actually read and get the materials he ask for ASAP or he won't take you are a serious student (they are cheap). He is funny too.
Dr. Badrich is the BEST! TAKE HIM! Don't listen to any bad reviews! If you're the type of person who works for their grade and doesn't enjoy using electronics during class, then TAKE HIM. He does NOT like phones in class. You must always show up with your books, and your dictionary, always be prepared. He's a very funny teacher and loves English!
The required textbooks and a dictionary are required to earn a solid grade in any of Dr. Badrich classes. However, I did enrolled in English Composition 1 and 2, and earned As. Next, I enrolled in British Literature 2 and earned B. Last, I enrolled in Bible Literature and earned A.
one thing you should know is it is an easy A as long as you get the books he asked you to get and do simple reading he does a quiz everyday as attendance and he wont give you a bad grade if you miss a few class. He seem crazy at first but he will take about everything and anything if you pitch in to whatever topic hes taking about you'll get an A.
Dr. Badrich is a great English professor, he truly cares about each and every one of his students, he takes the time to thoroughly read the essays you turn in (your essays aren't just another assignment to him, but rather a way to know who you are). He's very understanding and has so much history to share. You will need the required textbooks.
Professor Badrich is an amazing teacher! He genuinely cares about his students! Make sure to bring your dictionary and books daily (inexpensive). The final exam was not hard at all. Make sure to communicate with him and you will be fine. Have a positive attitude, do the work and you will pass!
Mr. Badrich, is a caring, hilarious and above all knowledgeable professor . His lectures are funny albeit scatterbrained. The only thing he demands is that you have your books and be respectful in class by raising your hand and don't use your cell. He is the epitome of a great teacher
Mr. Badrich is not only the best professor I've ever had but he is one of the best people I have ever met. His classes are not text book. He does not follow the so called rules like a soulless robot. He is a very rare teacher in the fact that he cares. He is funny, smart, & compassionate. ANY STUDENT WOULD BE LUCKY TO TAKE HIS CLASS.- Nicole Felton
While Mr. Badrich has good intentions for his students, he comes off judgemental. I appreciate his sense of humor and his need and want to provide education to students who attend community college. He criticizes our generation a ton. In class he goes way off topic and we barely did a lick of writing. Although it was easy, I didn't learn much.
Badrich is awesome and very interesting!
The first day of class might weird you out, but do not let there scare you. If you take the to know the Ol'Captain you will not regret it. He believes everyone's voice needs to be heard. . "Be a student of all, but a teacher of few." Those words have always stuck with me. Don't expect to learn much about English, but you will learn how to think.
I've lived a wonderful life and Badrich helped me get here! I'll always be grateful to him.
What the heck did I get myself into?He was a crazy professor BUT did talk a lot about what is happening in the world which I thought was interesting. He cares a lot about students and even bought books for students who told him their interests.I believe he is leaving to "Punk Rock High" for Fall but man this semester was wild. Just leaving it there
Dramatic,but a great teacher,he cares about the students. Go to class and get required books, easy to pass.
He does accept late hw. If you skip he will call you out. He can be funny but insensitive. He never posted a grade online. He said important things would happen and was trying to help but his lectures are just life stories. 1/20 were actual classes the rest were useless. I got an A tho. Just do the assignments he gives. Easy A if you don't skip.
Odds are someone told you to take his class. And I'm willing to bet you were well served. What do you even say about Prof. Badrich? Even if you don't want to get it he will make you get it. If you have to take a class, take his.
