CollegeProfessor Badamo was excellent. We had weekly readings that were easy to understand and informative, and the lectures followed the readings. The course included 2-3 exams, and she provided a helpful study guide for each. We were also assigned a group project at the end of the quarter, which I enjoyed.
Sort of baffled by the bad reviews. I thought her lectures were clear, and she was very interested in our success. You really do have to take good notes, and pay attention to the readings (1/week), but I didn't find it more difficult than usual. Study guides are extremely similar to the actual test. She is clearly passionate about this subject.
I took ARTHI105Q and I really enjoyed the content. The lectures were easy to follow and she provided outlines before. There were 2 midterms (so easy) MCQ, SA and vocab matching. The final was a group presentation but she gave you plenty of time to work on it. Reading is important and shows up on tests. But overall really great class.

I know that a lot of student's don't like professor Badamo but I've taken a couple classes with her now and although she isn't the most warm and fuzzy professor, she knows what she is teaching and she genuinely cares that her students do well. Develop a relationship with her, ask questions, attend lectures, pay attention and you'll do well.
I found the class content interesting and thought out. However, she is not organized. Her course reader was late and a mess, the articles she forgot, she posts with little time to read. Her exam questions seem subjective and unclear, but her expectation is perfect recall. I wouldn't voluntarily take her class again, but if I had to I would survive
