Challenging class. Do the extra credit questions! His class is hard but you will definitely get a good foundation in economics. He cares about his students and he's entertaining. Grade is based on four tests (multiple choice and T/F) and a current events presentation. If you do the extra credit questions and study smart for the test you'll pass.

Makes expectations very clear from the beginning. Anyone complaining about this professor wasn't willing to do the required work. More about concepts than memorization. I am taking him again next semester for microeconomics and can say I am definitely excited to go thr another semester with him.

Very focused on personal commitment to the class, if you take him (which I recommend) be prepared to spend a lot of time doing your own work outside of class. There is no homework but he offers a lot of extra credit if you care to spend your time outside of class, its definitely worth it. Dont come in expecting to be treated like a kid.

Mr. Maneshni is very knowledgeable of economics and can help you, if you work for it, to understand how economics can affect you life personally. Much participation is needed to do well, and he offers extra credit!

Great professor and amazing person. He explains the material very well and relates all the topics to the current economic conditions which helps you understand the material better. I recommend everyone to take his class since you will gain a tremendous knowledge of how economy works.

I've had Bahman for both Macroeconomics (211) and Microeconomics (212) and his class is definitely challenging but as long as you take good notes and study for tests you'll do well! Only grades taken into account are the 4 exams, but if you're looking to actually understand the material this is definitely a great class.

He lives and breaths economics so the class was really difficult. He creates his own tests which are extremely hard. He gives you one true/false study guide before the test. You have to read the articles on his website or you won't understand the questions for the test. You have to put A LOT of work into this class so come to class prepared.

Just read the text. Understand it! You cant go wrong. Devote a whole hour to reading the chapter and another to worksheets. Get as many extra credits by answeing in class questions and I guarantee you an A or B. Also, if you take him, you will have the deepest understanding of economics out of any other class. Truly fortunate to have prof. Bahman

I was lucky to have as Professor Bahman Maneshni. I had an excellent experience in the Macroeconomics class with Professor Maneshni, always ready to help us, and motivating to move forward and not discouraged. I'm happy with my choice and I would make the same choice if I had to retake this class with Professor Maneshni. Thank You Professor :)

Your experience in this class will depend on your character as a student, if you can apply yourself and put the work in you will love this class. If you want to breeze by, this class isn't for you. If you choose to stay though, Bahman will ensure that you understand the concepts and turns the material into actual knowledge not just memorization.

Bahman is one of the best teachers Ive had. It was a very tough class and he can be hard on the students, but he really cares about them. I looked forward to his class every day. Its not mandatory to show up but Id recommend it. He also doesnt explain what we need to read from the book so dont waste time taking notes. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT WORK!

After taking ECN 211 with Bahman I knew I wanted to take him for ECN 212. His teaching style (which focuses on the textbook, handouts, lectures and the occasional self-researched extra credit questions) forces you to not only do the work but he takes it and makes you understand it. I've learned a great deal from Bahman! Thank you!

10/10 experience. Here's what to expect: 1. A lot of extra credit opportunities (answer questions, do homework) 2. 4 tests make up your entire grade (over book chapters and handouts) 3. Research the topics in the chapters ahead of time to be prepared for extra credits. 4. Tests are hard, but he lets you drop if you fail the first 2.

I have taken two economics courses with Bahman Maneshni and in my opinion, he is the best professor I have come in contact with. He is a disciplined and caring person who does not put up with nonsense. His lectures never contain a wasted minute and if you participate you can earn a lot of extra credit. 4 teststotal semester grade.

Maneshni is a very down to earth professor. Hes very direct and humorous, while sometimes it can be taken the wrong way. Once you get to understand him, you will learn to really enjoy his class. He does require much reading outside of class and participation in class is a MUST if you want to pass his tests. For ECN212 entire grade was from 4 tests

I would have personally rated him a 5 overall, but I went with a 4 because he has a very intense teaching style that might not work well for others. He will tell you when you are wrong so be prepared to speak up when you disagree. Getting a good grade in this class requires participatoin. Don't be shy. He certainly isn't!

Bahman is by far the most unique and personable professor I have ever met. His aura and energy are absolutely unmatched. Even with a subject that most consider dry, such as econ, you will look forward to his class every day. If you are truly looking to learn a great amount of material, this is the person you want.

The test were relatively simple and depending on the amount of participation you demonstrate during class the easier it is to make up for the questions that you find difficult. In essence if you participate in the lecture then the extra credit you earn puts you at ease much more so than if you show up and do/say nothing.

One of a kind and a very unique prof. He cares and loves his students. Knowledge gained from class is priceless as he builds a solid foundation for your future ECON and FIN classes. I took both of his classes, and after transferring to the university, THANKS TO HIM, was able to get straight As in all of my FIN and ECON classes. FIN major 3.98 GPA

Bahman definitely has a unique style of teaching his ECN211 course. It is a difficult course that cannot be taught and understood overnight, so pay attention in class and ask appropriate questions if confused. Overall Bahman is an amazing professor and is willing to work with his students to ensure that they achieve the grade they deserve.

He cares deeply about his students and the subject. I took this class the year after I graduated from highschool, 2012. Pro. Maneshni is the standard I hold my teachers and educators to. 8 years and 30+ college classes later, Pro. Maneshni still outshines the others. His class is challenging (learning a new subject always is) but def not boring.

Do this to succeed: 1. Read the Chapter before class 2. Answer as many questions in class to get LOTS of extra credit that is weighted just like the test 3. Understand the topics from the test review and take that exam. Remember, your B- on a test can EASILY become an A+ just from extra credits. Tou will understand Econ from him, great guy!

Bahman is one of the best instructors I've ever had. He holds high expectations of his students, demands effort, and is a results-not-excuses kind of instructor. You get the grade you earn in his classes. He graded based off of 4 exams, with some opportunity for extra credit (which you have to work for), and your success is in your hands.
