Comment:

Possibly the worst professor on the history of earth. Only does is talk and talk and ramble about case studies. Does not thoroughly explain anything but expects you to come to class prepared. But how can you come prepared to class when you are unsure of what is going to be taught? Rude, and obnoxious. Do not ever take him. He is terrible.

Comment:

Easily the funniest professor I have had at Syracuse which made the class worth going to on its own. But he was also a very good professor and made sure you understood the real-world importance of what you were doing in his class. Be sure to study the problems he assigns on the syllabus because the tests are almost exactly the same.

Really funny guy, but the subject matter can be dry. If you're not happy with a grade he is willing to relook at it. Very nice man

Comment:

Enjoys teaching the class and is very humorous. I haven't had the first exam yet, but he goes over mostly all of the practice problems and helps any time you need it prior to quizzes and exams. Here's a hint: All of his questions come from variations of textbook questions or exact textbook questions so do ALL of the textbook problems! 2 thumbs up!

Exams are the class exam 1 2 and 3 are worth 90% and quizzes are worth 10% so you have to do well on te exams to pass the class, with this being said if you study for the exam you will pass and should get an A or B. Doesn't take attendence either If your reading this write about your professors

Mad funny - always throws out crazy comments in class. He def understands the material, and is very respected in whitman. Study for quizzes and review practice exam, and you should be good to go.

I've never been one of Mr Badr's students. but it happens that I myself have the same names as this guy, and guess what I am a teacher too; strange isn't it? and out of curiosity wanted to know what he is like. it seems that he is well appreciated by his pupils. good luck

I have never been good at math or accounting, but he makes it interesting and understandable. I've stuggled in previous accounting classes, but I did better than I expected to in this class. Oh and he's hilarious! If you haven't taken a class with him, I recommend it.

I hated accounting until I took it with this man. He's hilarious so he made it lots of fun. I went from failing tests in ACC 151 to getting A's in 252. I wish we had more teachers like him in SOM.
