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.
Best professor that i have had ,taught us how to see economics in all aspect of everyday life. Got us to see and hear from CEO in the insurance and auto business. which was very educational and practical. Wish there were more teacher like him that really care.
he very nice person,good heart,he gives the text book for free. However,his class is really boring.he never teaches he only talks about his family and other stuff.he is not organized.he gives a lot of writing. his final paper is a 10 pages writing NO DOUBLE SPACE (all his assignments are no double space. he gets in the nerves
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
Love Professor Batman. Great Professor!!! intelligent and helpful. He is always willing to help you. His assignments are long but he gives enough time to complete. Follow his instructions and get easy A.
Nicest Professor. Super easy just be willing to learn.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! He is one of the BEST BEST professor. I wish he can teach at George Mason. Other professor really need to learn from him on how he teaches the class. You understand real world economics rather than boring lecture. Easy A if you do his homework which doesn't take more than 1 hour.
my favrite teacher he helps you and understands you!
Lectures are pretty long, you have to write about 10, 3 page synopses on newspaper articles. Give your opinion when you want on the subject matter, & you should do well! I have taken ECO 120, and I just took this class, I am thinking about taking another ECO class with this same professor! It's a good class to take & he is a good professor to have
Best Professor! You would be dumb not to take his class. Most professor now a days teach you crap based of books and lectures. He teaches you real world situations and not to mention his classes are easy. He does not bore you with powerpoints. He is nice and funny and teaches great. Amazing Professor. Highly Recommended.
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.
Professor B was the most amazing professor I have ever had. He really cares about his students and is very engaging in the current news. Just amazing.
I would recommend everyone to take Professor Batman for Eco 201. He was a very easy grader and caring professor. Instead of books, he teaches real life economics. He will make you write 7 senopsys and 2 take home research papers and done. I will be taking him again for Eco 202 in fall.
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. His homework is just busy work - synopses on newspaper articles he finds and company profiles. If you need ECO I DO NOT recommend this prof, unless you like boring lectures.
Great teacher funny easy go
Yo, are you registering any economics class? If professor Batman class is still open you are lucky. don't even think about it again Just go register now. I took two classes with him and I just got my easy A's with no worries. Men this is the type of professor you need when you need to keep your grade where it is or up. Trust me he is the best.
Prof Batman is a nice guy and he seems to understand the foundations of economics. ECON 110 is essentially a show-up-and-pass, with the exception of simple synopsis assignments. Easy A, if you can handle the long lectures.
Great and caring professor. Recommend his class if you enjoy writing from the lectures or assignments given.
He's Amazing! You just need to come to class! His homework is super easy and very self-explained. All he loves for his students is to come to class and listen to him. He has notes ready for you to take home and that will be everything you need. Just come and listen to him! Take him, just take him!
Professor Batmanghelidj is a passionate man who cares deeply for his students and gives captivating lectures full of interesting information and hilarious jokes. He is one of the greatest professors I have ever had and I will gladly recommend him to new college students.
This professor is very knowledgeable with all the aspects the affects the economy. He is a very caring person , his lectures are very informative.
He informs students about the connetions in everything that happen in the news and how it actually affects Economy. I have learned that economy is flexible due to what happens worldwidly. He makes it so easy to understand and get students attentions. You will have at least two news papers every class, and will do a synaposis about an aricle youread
Great Professor, I enjoyed my economics class with him and I will take his class again without a doubt.
Professor Batman is amazing! Would highly recommend taking him. You won't regret it. He is very understanding with late work and attendance. Do it! :-)
Prof. Batman is extremely knowledgeable in Economics. He keeps his lectures interesting with his good sense of humor, and by sharing many stories from his personal experiences as well as discussing current events that have an impact on the world economy. His class is simple and straightforward. Overall I would highly recommend taking him for Econ.
As long as you do your synopsis, you will pass the class.
This professor is awesome! He is lenient on tardiness or absences but you don't want to miss his class to begin with. He is very knowledgeable in Economics and you can tell he is passionate in what he does. As an added bonus, he is funny and he will remember your name. He wants you to succeed and will accommodate any issues that you may have.
I'm an older student and had this class many years ago, so this was a refresher. I got much more out of this class, even thought I knew the concepts. Prof Batman... does a great job relating economics to current events. Every class is interesting. He goes out of his way to prepare for class and cares about his students. YOU MUST TAKE HIS CLASS!
My first and one of the best professor ever! Very specific of what he wants in class, provides class materials, and very caring. I am going to take him again. Got an A.
Great professor! I will be taking him again in the fall. He understands and mastered economics, he is very open and wants to get to know you. Great lectures and you won't be disappointed if you take him!
Easiest class I've ever taken because I learned next to nothing about economic theory in it. He's very focused on current events which is cool but left me lacking knowledge to continue on in economics. If you need some filler credits, this is the class for you, but if you're looking to really learn Econ, go elsewhere.
Excellent lectures! Related all lectures to real life.
Professor "Batman" is by far one of my favorite professors I have ever had. He is an honest, funny, bright man that really enjoys what he does. There are several papers that are due throughout the semester, however he gives you plenty of time to get them done. If you show up for class, and do all your work on time you will be fine!
I must profess, certain aspects of analysis and theoretical principles were out of my realm of mastery, but Prof. Batmanghelidj was extremely effective and described all topics and assignments so clearly that I could understand virtually everything. He is a brilliant and an outstanding educator! I would highly recommend him to other students. TB
One of the coolest professors ever you will learn from this guy, hands down again one of the best professors I recommend him to anybody studying business
Really good engagement with the class. Homework wasn't difficult. Definitely recommend.
Professor BATMAN is a wonderful guy. I took both 201 and 202 class with him. I literally waited a whole year for him to teach eco 201 thats how great he is!!!!! We did a lot papers and their are extremely easy. He KNOWS what he is doing. REALLY CHILL CHILL CHILL CHILL ChILL class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you wont regret it:)
He's a very understanding and wise man. I would recommend everyone to take his class. His lectures are applied to real world concepts. His class is not hard. He's very understanding about tardiness. He's a sweet man who cares for all of his students.
Mr. Batman is not only an amazing teacher, but an inspiration. He has taught me so much on being a better and kinder person. His passion for helping his students learn and become better global thinkers is contagious. Be ready to learn a lot about current news stories. Anyways, definitely recommend him if you want to learn economics.
I am very happy that I decided to take his econ201 class. He focuses on teaching his students about current events and how they are relative to us and the economy. He is very wise and inspirational. I loved going to class and hearing his lectures. He cares about all of his students and I would love to take another class with him. 10/10 :)
I took Micro at Virginia Tech and did not really enjoy the class. Therefore I decided to take Macro with Professor Batman (which is what all his students call him) at NOVA over the summer. He is a great professor. His classes are less focused on straight text but instead on real world events. He also gives life stories/advice and great notes.
Professor Batman is amazing, his class teaches you a lot about real world current events going on, and informs you on things that are relevant to what is happening around you. His class is super easy, he is super chill, and very nice guy. He is really understanding, easily accessible.I wish I could take him again for 202 but he is not teaching it:(
Professor Batman was a really chill teacher. I only had about 6 papers and final that determined my overall grade. I will warn you though, that the papers were expected to be at least 3 pages long with size 10 single spaced font. He emailed the assignments to everyone so you don't necessarily need to be in class. Overall, a really chill teacher.
He loves calling everyone "my friend, my friend". He talks a lot about Oil and gas prices. He gives out 3 newspapers every class, (you don't actually have to read them.) The class is more like a current event class. He is always 30 mins late! His final is open notes (google it, he wants you to pass) And overall, its an easy A!
He is the best , and the most caring professor. I really like him . Take his class because super easy class. He accepts late work because he really cares about you . He is the nicest person and professor in the world.
What an absolutely amazing person and teacher. His life story is incredible. If I had to take the class over again I would definitely make sure it was with Professor Batmanghelidj.
Professor Batman is one of the greatest professors I have ever had, he truly cares for his students and wants to see them all succeed. Kind of a lot of homework but, no pressure if you have to turn it in late. He is a very understanding man I absolutely loved him.
He feeds u an "A". No txt book, tests, etc. a 5yr old can take economics with him and get an "A". He didn't teach us economics instead talked about politics and oil price. Take him if u want an "A" but if u r an econ. Major u won't learn anything. Easy easy easy "A" with very little work.
He is a professor who is kind and understand.. He listens and educates about the current daily world economics.. Great man, and trust worthy.. Excellent class to take with him.. Well respected.. show up to class..
Professor Batman is a great man with a lot of wisdom. His classes can get a bit boring sometimes but sometimes very interesting cause all he talks about is current events. He is obsessed with looking at oil prices. Homework consists of synopsis (about 7 of them) and one big project which is pretty easy. The final is open book but lengthy.
Batman is an excellent professor. He is well spoken and creates a comfortable and light atmosphere. He is caring and forgiving, a sentimentalist by his own description. If you do the homework you should be good. He does not keep a blackboard or look at his email very often.
The class isn't difficult but the professor himself is a special person who shows an inordinate amount of care for his students. If you show respect for his class, he will always have a place for you in his schedule. He has a great deal of real-world experience and wisdom that will inevitably shine through his tangentially-related lectures.
Professor Batman is truly one of a kind. He is a very kind man with various life experiences. His lectures can be very long but are entertaining. He likes to focus the class on current events and oil to explain hoe everything is related to Econ. I highly recommend taking his class if you can.
At first I did not know how to feel about him but throughout the semester he has really helped me grasp a good idea on how this world works. He brings both sides of the world into the subject of economics and even discusses how current events are related to econ which makes it a lot more interesting to learn. Overall, he is an amazing person.
I don't like economics, but after taking economics 201 with professor Batmanghelidj, I regret making that decision. I learned economics from a different perspective and helped descriptively explain economics. He used many ways to tie the real world into every class lecture. This course is extraordinary; I would retake it if I can. :) amazing!!!!!.
Professor Daryoush Batmanghelidj is the most amazing professor you'll ever find in the nation, not even exaggerating a least bit, he is the most inspirational and caring man you will ever find as your teacher, if his class is available and not full yet then consider yourself lucky, lectures are very interesting and you wouldn't want to miss them. S
OMG! THIS PROFESSOR IS THE BEST!!! HE MAKES EVERTHING SUPER EASY! 10000% RECOMONEDED! HE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD!!!
i loved this professor so much, i would definitely take him again! the only homework he assigns are the newspaper synopsis and a final research paper. The final consists of 2 questions and its open notes! hes super inspirational and tells amazing stories
Professor Daryoush Batmanghelidj is the most amazing professor I have ever seen in NOVA. His lectures are very interesting and you wouldn't want to miss them. He will tell lots of real-life story in his class that would help you in the future life. I strongly recommend his class to take.
Best professor ever. Tells you many stories,but all related to lecture. He wants his stidents was to success in theor life. Always talked about current Oil prices and reasons behind the prices UP amd Down.
If you really wanna see the world from a different perspective, don't let second thoughts sway you away by not taking batman. He will make you love his subject and you may have never seen such a determination anywhere else. He is the best.
I took Professor Batman for Macroeconomics and he's a very nice teacher. His assignments are very straightforward and fairly easy to do. He makes it very easy to do the assignments so every assignment should be an easy A. No blackboard for this class so hard to keep track of grades but I recommend him if Macroecon is just a requirement for a degree
One of the best professors i have ever taken, caring, easy. There is no way of failing his class. If you get C or less try getting your self checked.
Very nice, jokes a lot, has a lot of papers but they are extremely easy to complete. you can chill in class not that hard he is great.
Great professor! Has a different style of teaching rather than a normal college professor. He integrates the material through our everyday life as an example to relate. Lots of essay assignments, but its not that bad!
Professor Daryoush Batmanghelidj is the most amazing professor I have ever seen in NOVA. He wants his students success in their life. Assignments and exam are super easy. You will get an A if you come to class regularly, and follow his email to do your work.
Professor Batmanghelidj's lectures are very interesting. He relates what we learn in school to the real world and the issues affecting the world. Read all the articles he gives because it will be very helpful for the final exam. I would definitely take him again.
Best professor in NOVA, very easy homeworks, always tells an story. If you want an easy A take him. I would take him again if i could. Final exam was really easy.
The assignments are not very difficult and he is very understanding and kind.
Professor Batman as he is referred to is a great professor. He brings true life experiences to his lectures and brings in current real world issues to the classroom. Prepare to write a few papers and participate in class. This is a class you will not want to miss. As someone who has gone back to school after a few years he makes you feel welcome.
Taking this professor was the best decision I have ever done! He is very caring and understands the hardship that a student must go. With that being said, he will work with you and will also find a way for you to do your assignments. My favorite thing of the class was the life lectures where he relates it to our everyday life! -H
Great professor who brings real life experiences to the classroom. Teaches topics using current events to compare and contrast theories. Truly cares for the student's future and tries to set them up for success and does his best to provide students the tools they need to succeed.
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.
best professor I ever had. an old respectful man treats students as his children. You may feel boring during his class, but u will get easy A. His assignments VERY easy, just read some small articles then copy and past what u learned. He just wants us to have an idea about the economy. He also doesn't mind late attendance. TAKE HIM FAST
THE BEST teacher and you will hear interesting stories and just a simple class to take with a caring teacher.
Prof Bat is awesome! His care for his students is obvious and he wants everyone to succeed. Hes a very knowledgeable man that enjoys sharing his experience with his students. Go to class and you will learn something new everytime. He wants everyone to be informed and uses current events to relate them to Economics so discussions are great.
Professor Batman (great nickname btw) was incredibly helpful with me even though I missed a number of assignments due to personal events. If I have any opportunity to take more classes of his, I will in a heartbeat
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.
He has to be one of the best professors ever. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He makes the classes interesting and enjoyable. He is a caring professor, You have to read a lot of articles but they are interesting. If you do your assignments and come to class , you will be fine. I would 100% recommend professor Daryoush !
This professor is absolutely awesome! The assignments are long, but easy to do and he puts students first. I really wish I get the chance to have this professor again
Professor Batman is the best prof I have taken at nova, he is everything you could ask for in a teacher and more. The lectures he gives are both informative and entertaining. Prof Batman pairs his years of wisdom with current world topics. He truly shows his care and dedication to each student. His stories inspire and motivate you! Take his class!
He is amazing! He teaches you economics as it is in the real world. He has amazing stories and really cares about you and your success in life. He has immense knowledge on economics and his stories will always make you laugh! He will always keep you updated through emails about the world and the class. Take Professor Batman!
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
He was a very inspirational professor using his personal experiences within the lectures. While the synopsis are most of the work, they are very easy as long as you do them and not pile them on. If possible, I would like to have him as my professor again.
Professor Daryoush is such an amazing teacher! He cares and genuinely wants everyone in the class. He gives easy homework and projects and overall just wants everyone to succeed in life! I would definitely recommend taking him no matter what!
This was an easy econ class and I recommend taking him! Lectures are not focused heavily on Econ rather more so on current events that are related back to economics. No exams just synopsis and papers that are easy to write and interesting.
Professor Batmanghelidj was one of the best professors I've ever had. His teaching methods helped me understand the course. I actually enjoyed the assignments and the lectures. I feel like I walked away with useful knowledge from his course. I recommend for anyone to take either courses ECO with him.
Such a sweet professor! He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He doesn't use powerpoints but instead talks about current events and how we're impacted by them. Really interesting class that doesn't come with the stress.
great professor and not a tough grader
Prof. "Batman" is one of the best professors I'll ever have. He is very kind and keeps lectures interesting. There is minimal work but the work itself isn't difficult at all. I'd highly recommend him for he is a great teacher and great person.
Amazing
Great Professor, if you need an easy A. Lectures are boring but overall class is super easy. He loves to talk about current events and other stuff. If you need to learn ECO for your major, take someone else. GREAT PROFESSOR
One of the friendliest professors I have ever been taught by. You can tell he likes his job and is there for the students. He sparked an interest into economics for me that other professors have not been able to do.
