I like his way of teaching 117. Materials in this course are relatively easy compared to others, so the lecture basically covers all of them. Sadiku is NOT an easy grader, but honestly, that's what I expect in a course that doesn't count towards GPA. 117 is a place that allows you to make mistakes and eventually learn and grow.Rate My Professors ↗

Sadiku really sucks!! Never take his class. He just read the slides, doesn't cover anything important in class. Which means you have to learn it by yourself. Also, he gives tons of homework at one time, even in midterm week. He's a tough grader. It's hard to tell what the criteria he holds, because he teaches nothing in class! Never take his class!Rate My Professors ↗

Literally my favorite professor in UW-Madison so far. He's really funny and super caring. I enjoyed every class w him. Show up for classes and do the homework you'll be just fine.Rate My Professors ↗

I have to agree, Sadiku is a tough grader, however ESL 117 is a pass or fail class and Sadiku will not let you fail. He is great teacher and I recommend you take the class with him!Rate My Professors ↗

He is a very good lecturer for ESL 117. He gives you chance to improve. The class is pass or fail so he will give the grade you deserve. I have improved my writing skill with his help. He gives clear instructions. If you have any difficulties, email him right away. He will help!Rate My Professors ↗
