The nicest teacher you'll meet, but his structure in the class is very very very disorganized. I've literally have not learned anything, and most likely won't get any knowledge. It's sad that such a nice and kind man is really poor at teaching.

Good professor but an even better person with a great heart! The class is easy as long as you just do the papers. With that being said, the papers are very long and single spaced especially the final which is 7-10 pages long. His lectures are very long and boring as well. He is very lenient though so you will get many extensions on your assignments

Great professor, likes to have dialogue and discussion. Since i dont need ECON110 for my future career, this professor was perfect for me. But if you need it, i would choose a different prof. He doesnt even open the textbook or teach about the basics of econ. He talks about daily news from newspapers, which is cool with me because i dont need econ.

The professor is such a nice person, but his class is HORRIBLE! He doesn't really teach, instead he chooses to talk about what he reads in the papers or sees on TV.

Professor Batman was awesome, such a caring and understanding person. Lectures are interesting, such a knowledgeable man. Homework and final exam are easy. He makes economics interesting. Doesn't have blackboard but that's ok just follow his emails and you will be fine. No books required. Just show up to class, he's so sweet. Take his class!

Professor Batman is an hilarious professor. He loves to talk about oil and oil prices and he gives good topics for us to write our papers on. He talks a lot but its worth the knowledge you would get from him than other professors would now. i would defiantly take his class over again, its worth the grade.

Lectures are very interesting- a combination of experiences drawn from his own life or people he knows, current events, and topics he's extensively read about in his free time. Can get sidetracked, but always relates back to the material. Much more interesting and relatable than reading from a textbook!

I am a registered nurse who went back to school to get my BSN, and after taking all the nursing classes, this was one of the required course. Taking this class with this professor was the best choice because the nursing school has always been strict with rules and regulations (stressful); however, Professor Batman made me eager to read, learn, and

Professor Batman made me eager to read, learn, and understand the current economic conditions without stress. He made the class stress free, informative, and exciting. He is also very approachable, and he is ready to help anyone in need of advice.

Professor "Batman", short for last name, is basically unaccessible outside of class but still gets an easy 5*s and anyone who has taken him knows why. It may seem overwhelming or boring but just stick around u'll b :). He talks about oil prices the relevance of oil in the whole of econ, so read up before u attend :) bc u'r gonna have to anyway.

Hands down the best Econ professor at NOVA. You won't be able to find a professor as caring, easy going and passionate professor. Great lectures and life lessons he tells the class. You'll without a doubt pass the class with an A. I took him for both Econ 201-202 and wish I could take him for other courses as he's a great professor. Take him!

Want some inspiration in your life? If yes, just take him. You will get an A with a little knowledge of the course itself. Just do the synopsis which is not more than copying and pasting, and that's pretty much it.

You wont learn anything about Economics if you're an economics major but if you want an easy elective its literally the easiest class you'll EVER take. Hes a really grade guy and as long as do you the assignments right or wrong, you'll get an A. No tests, just synopsis every week and 3 papers but literally tells you to copy and paste from online
