Amazing professor!!!
Very good teacher. Super easy marker, makes things interesting. He goes over everything on a powerpoint presentation, and only the information he goes over will be on the tests/exams. Overall really nice, and I would definitely take him again!
I think he is one of the best profs Seneca has. I love his teaching style, extremely helpful and extremely easy marker. He encourages his students to the best. I would always recommend him.
This guy is the da greatest professor of all time enjoyed my class with michael
He is very very nice teacher. I like his style, I didn't have any pressure in his class, meanwhile I learned all the stuff. He is really a easy marker, gives you helpful review before test. Take his class to have fun. I love him.
Michael is an extremely nice professor; he is very smart and intelligent. He knows a lot of things. I love his lectures. Take him. Good luck!
He's very very very nice professor!!

Michael is the best professor I ever came across, He is an amazing teacher and good marker. Very clear and concise and gives the best review ever. If you want an A in economics, Take him!!
i love his teaching style, and he shared a lot of experience and knowledge with us. And he is sooooooo helpful and soooooo nice to students. I wish i could take MACRO with him next semester!!! Take him, you won't regret!!
Probably the best prof in Seneca. His ability to level down with students and show a genuine interest in their success as well as possessing a very crisp and efficient teaching style makes him the best prof you can ask for. Take him and there is no possible way you'll regret it, that's how good he is.
HE is the BEST
Real Life Economics class with Michael Manbahal was a great learning experience overall. The combination of lectures, current events discussions, newspaper articles related to the topics covered in class, clear explanations, and his knowledge/experience about economics itself was the reason why I passed the course with a 75%. Awesome class!
People, Money, and Markets class with this professor was a great experience. Had him for Real Life Economics earlier in the year. Great professor. So knowledgeable about economics. Teaches it so nicely, wants you to succeed, and helps you after class which is great for tests and exams. Michael Manbahal really prepares you for exams. Take his class!
he's an amazing teacher. Wants his students to pass so he goes out of his way to make you pass. A great man too, with a lot of knowledge
He is a great professor! I love his class.
So nice! Easy easy maker!Also interesting!
BEST PROF IN SENECA!!!! He is very nice, makes sure that you are ready for upcoming test. He wants you to pass! Amazing prof
Michael genuinely cares about students' success. If you do not understand a topic, he will try million other ways to make you understand. He is absolutely cute and amazing!
He is one of the awesomeness teachers that i ever seen. so take his class, everything is fair!! i love being in his class!
really like this prof !
best prof ever. helpful power points and teaches very well. multiple choice questions are hard sometimes on tests. but overall, i would gladly have him as my prof again.
Extremely good professor! Very helpful and easygoing! His class is interesting and useful. His PPT is very useful before the exams. You can get an A easily as long as you pay attention to his speech. His tests are easy but to the point. He also teaches some real life economic event. Great Professor!
He is very good and very helpfulness. if you take a his course, you can get good mark.
amazing prof. he cares about his students
The best economic prof. Knowledge, organized, clarity, and helpfulness. Do not miss his course.
One of the best professors I've ever had. Always very clear and helpful. Uses a variety of different teaching styles (ppts, videos, real life examples, and discussions) that keep classes interesting.
One of the best profs I've ever had in Seneca! He is very easy going and tests are straight forward, no tricky questions. As for lectures he is slow and makes sure you understand everything before moving on. very helpful and patient guy
good teacher
The best ever in Seneca
The course itself is NOT easy but he tries to help you as much as possible. How well a student does in his class is determined by how much heshe studies for quizzes and tests. He will teach from the PowerPoint and it's all upon you to learn that material. He does NOT push you to do well and how well you do is about discipline.
Michael is one of my favourite professors at Seneca. He genuinely wants his students to succeed and does a great job at helping them do that. He is extremely helpful and clear in terms of his teaching style. He always made sure everyone understood the material and was very willing to help. He kept lectures interesting and was very kind.
Great professor. I'm actually looking to major in Economics because of Michael. Looking forward to taking Macro with him. He genuinely wants everyone to do well and will answer all your questions. Economics is tough, so you need to be disciplined and do work on your own as well, to pass his tests. His lectures are the most helpful, so don't skip!
While he does put a lot of effort into teaching, you won't do well in his class if you are a lazy student. This is because he doesn't really motivate you and doesn't "pushes" anyone. Also, most of the course is from tests and the final exam. Therefore, if your lazy you'll get a really poor grade.
This guy is awesome! He explains things so clearly, you can see through the board! He tells you exactly what you need to know and gives you really good practice questions for the tests. He is fair and makes things easy to understand! He does a lot of group work which can be annoying but other than that, he is amazing!
Michael is like Mr. Sweet guy, extremely nice. He's approachable, patient, respectful, understanding, and easy going. You will enjoy his class because he is not threatening. The only thing I notice is he gives higher marks to his favourites. He's review tips are not enough, so study more! Overall, it was always relaxing and fun in his class!
One of the best professors at Seneca. I would take him for every class if I could. You will learn and understand everything by the way he teaches. I didn't need to do much studying outside of class because i learned everything in class. He always makes sure his students understand everything. very helpful, patient. Take his class, you wont regret.
A really good professor.
He's a nice guy. He is willing to explain the lecture if it's not that clear to you. He's a fair marker. Depends upon the efforts you exert in his class. You will not only learn the subject material, but also life lessons.
He's great and is willing to organize extra lectures for students before major tests if they don't understand things. He explains clearly and gives you practice questions to help with tests. He really wants his students to do well. Looking forward to taking ECN502 with him.
Michael Manbahal explains the concepts of microeconomics very clearly and, if asked, is willing to review the lesson. His PowerPoint slides are extremely helpful for the tests and exams. Study the slides, take notes in class, and you will get an easy A.
He's an amazing prof. He teaches everything so clearly and is always willing to help you understand better.
You will definitely learn something. I love this guy
take him you will love economics and even himself. what he covers in class will exactly will be on exam. but you must attained his every lectures to get an A in his class. it is very easy to get an A in his class because he teaches you well, not because he is easy marker. i am looking forward to the chance to have him in the future.
He is the best teacher I have met in Seneca uptil now for 4 semesters. The teacher is knowledeable and talented, who can always motivate you in economy in class. He is also very helpful. Now matter what kind o f questions you met in economy, he will try to help you to work out. He is amazing. Looking forward to his future class.
Michael is simply the best prof at Seneca. He will go out of his way to help you and has a great style of teaching! It was a pleasure to have him as a prof!!!
One of the best profs. Really makes sure students understand the concepts he teaches. Does a review class before tests and hints at what to focus on. If you attend and pay attention to his lectures, you will get an easy A. You don't really need the textbook either, just review and understand his slides.
Amazing Prof. teaches very well. Very perfect prof. for ECN501 .
Michael is the most chill prof I've had so far. Class is lecture heavy, but he lightens it up with class discussions and videos. For midterms and final exams, he doesn't tell you what specific topics to focus on, and the format is m/c and short answers(graphs and explanation). Also, ask him about Trump if you want to have a funny discussion.
Good prof, knowledgeable and passionate bout economics. relates topics to current business in the world. tests / exams are reasonable. lectures are long and tough but he explains clearly.
Professor Manbahal is among the best professors in the world. I repeat,in the world;not only in Seneca college. This guy is a perfect example of how academia should be like. Words aren't enough to describe the kindness,gentleness,fairness,awesomeness,politeness,caringness,& milkiness of this larger than life professor. Extremely playful & eloquent.
Is able to keep very abstract concepts fairly simple, very approachable and gentle
Very good Professor, Always encouraging his studies to do their best
Always encouraging his studies to do their best
If you got a chance in your life to take his course, do it! I got no basic knowledge of economy and I still got A+ in his class because of his amazing teach. He is so patient and nice to explain any question, literally any question. Best professor ever.
Michael is probably the only professor that cares so much for his students. He was always so understanding and I've had the great honour to be in his ECN501 and ECN502 class and I don't regret it one bit! You'll definitely learn alot in his class.
Amazing professor, teaches his subject extremely well, in an easy to understand manner. Absolutely nothing to complain about.
An amazing professor. Will go out of his way to make sure you understand the material. His compassion for students is one that I haven't ever come across anywhere else. Lectures are clear, and he gives MANY chances for you to makeup for lost marks. If you put the time in, there is no way you will get less than an A. One of my favorites at Seneca.
best human being in da world! he has a passion for teaching, he could prbli be a millionaire but rather teach. remembers everyones name, encourages everyone to participate, relates lecture to real world stuff. NOT boring. very friendly cool dude. missed my exam and a couple of classes and Still got an A. if hes your teacher yout lucky!!!!!!!!!NN
I literally created an account just so that I can provide this review. If you need to take Economics, Michael is the best one there is. He makes the information easy to understand, he's extremely helpful, he's friendly, and will prepare you for all examinations. You will not regret taking him! Thanks for everything, Michael! All the best to you.
He is the best prof ever had in Seneca. He seems enjoy teaching, well prepared, clear explanations, make sure everyone understand.
Michael is really good professor and always encouraging students
He simplified the lesson by explaining in such a way that students understand it. He created a learning environment rather than intimidating. I hope Seneca will have more professor like him that that has passion in teaching especially that the College has multicultural students.
The best professor in the world. His class is amazing, his explanations are clear and always relate them to the real world which makes it so easy to understand. Thanks Michael for the amazing lecture. All the best to you Professor.
One of the greatest professor I ever had at Seneca. He lets us know what's in the real world and what we can apply in the real world. Very inspirational. If you are taking any Economics course, take Michael, he's legit.
He's not THAT great of a professor like some reviews here make it seem, but he is a really, really cool and likable guy which explains why people love him. He cares about his students. His class is easy and fun. That's all most people care about. You'll have a great time taking Michael and his class is EASY. He hands you marks on a plate!
really a gem in Seneca. teach important knowledge. Test is nor hard but definitely need to study for it. He's probably my fav pro in Seneca.
Best prof in Seneca. Just take him and thank me later.
He's such a great professor, explains things in a great way, in contrast to others mixing up everything and reading ppt without adequate explanation. I wish all our profs were at least 50% like Michael, there would be no unnecessary stress and we'd have proper marks and no confusion. Highly respected!
He's the best
THE BEST ECON PROF. He was my prof for half the semester. He always make sure that the students understand the concepts. He provides a lot of examples.
He is one of the best teachers I have ever seen. If you attend the classes, A is almost guaranteed. Even just with his slides, A is in the pocket. He asks what he teaches, not anyhing else.
Such a good Prof to take for Economics (Took him for first half summer sem). He gave his best to make us understand the course
Awesome teacher!
He's an awesome and understanding teacher. He tries to explain the difficult topics in the easiest way possible for every student. I feel like buying the textbook is a waste of money because he already explains everything in the slides. I did not touch my textbook once to be honest, but I highly suggest you take his class.
Michael is one of the best professors that I have ever met. He gives clearly an instruction and test what he taught in class. The test is focused on basic concepts. He is a pretty good Professor. His class in enroll day is fully packed in 30 seconds. Please remember it and put his class in your cart in advance.
Michael was a great teacher, knows his field extremely well, made class easy to understand and kept it lively with a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Material was not difficult as long as you read and review. He makes an effort to help his students pass while teaching them useful information. Would definitely recommend!
BEST TEACHER YOU CAN TAKE FOR THIS CLASS. He makes Economics such an easy topic because of how he teaches it. Always recaps the last lecture in case you forgot or didn't understand. Don't hesitate to ask him questions, he will explain it to you until you understand it. I did not need the textbook but it is good for when you are studying alone.
He teaches well and a very nice personality. If you have the chance to take a course with him, never miss it
Professor Michael is really amazing and his lectures are absolutely great. He tries to explain the real world issues and he is quite an easy grader. He is really kind and caring and usually even with studying his slides, getting an A+ is possible. He is truly a gem in Seneca and I would miss his classes.
Amazing prof. Likes to engage with students and bring everyone together. Love his lectures. Very clear instructions. He won't go to another topic if you haven't understood yet. Giving out easy tests and grade very easy too. Teach you not just econ but other things in life.
Hands down the best professor in Seneca! His every lecture is so engaging. He is very down-to-earth, treats all his students as equals. He is very knowledgable in his field, very caring. I took his class just before all classes went online, he always kept reminding us to wash our hands etc. and how much our lives and economy were going to change.
This professor is one of the best I ever had! He's caring, polite, super accessible outside the class time, really puts effort into helping his students. He gives the best examples to explain a difficult subject. He knows A LOT about economics and it shows. Definitely take his class!!
Do yourself a favour and take his class. One of the best professors I had in Seneca. He is so nice and polite and explains everything multiple times.
One of the best professors I had in Seneca ever! If you see him in the course selection, just choose him with no hesitation. His quizzes are easy and he gives easy mark. His lecture are easy to follow. He cares about everyone's feelings. If you find out ECN501or ECN502 is difficult, never miss him then!
He is an amazing professor. He is very kind-hearted. In all honesty, he is the best professor at Seneca College that I have had so far. He gives them a few assignments to do during the semester. He absolutely understood all the students. He is generous enough to give a good score for every one as well. He has wonderful character! take 100%
ECN230 isn't math-heavy and Michael takes extra care in explaining topics in a way that you won't need any previous knowledge coming in. He marks generously and his quizzes/tests are simple if you attend the lectures. Michael's lectures are well-planned and engaging. He really knows his stuff. Overall I haven't had a better prof at Seneca!
Great prof, although i never went to class, i watched lectures and did all the assignments, he grades quickly and provides feedback as well as answers emails timely. Hes a great prof, 10/10
The best prof ever by caring and teaching by all his passion ! He understand very well about economy and that was shown in every classes. Also he is understanding and giving easy grades to every students. My first assignment was given in a week by him and we asked for the prolong, he give us 2 week in the following assignment for preparation!!
He is the best easy going professor ever, his quizzes are easy and he gives you a lot of time to complete assignments. His work is so straight forward.
He's the Professor you will give the full EXCELLENT mark in every aspect. He explains well until you understand in very practical and in layman's terms. He is an expert in his craft, and you would learn from him. You'll not regret enrolling in his class. He has my respect.
The best teacher I've ever had his grading policies is so fair and easy. Just 2 quizzes one mid-term, one final and two discussion posts. That's it for the semester. quizzes and exams are so easy. Loved him so much!!
If you have this professor, you can never fail. Damn easy course content that he provides.
He is kind and considerate.
He is good and caring. Notes are clear. Explain the concept clearly.
One of the best Economics professors in Seneca. You will truly understand his lesson well.
He's great. Just take his class; you won't regret it. He explains everything clearly and is very caring towards students. He is one of the best professors I ever had in Seneca. He is amazing.
This class is exactly what an elective class has to be. Throughout the semester, I only had 2 assignments and 4 quizzes. And even that was super easy and took a very little time to do. For those who are looking for an easy class with little course work and wants to get your GPA higher I would say go for it. You won't regret.
Diamond in the mine. You will be lucky to get a spot in his class!!
Professor Manhahal makes class manageable for students with the work he assigns. It's reasonable and he includes clear grading criteria. Additionally, his lectures are clear, simple, and straightforward.
His lectures were so crystal clear even the uninterested student's attention will get caught. His quizzes and exams are relatively easy compared to what I had in ECN501. He encourages participation naturally and doesn't force it among students. Very approachable and accommodating.
Hands down, that guy is so good. His lectures are amazing you'd learn a lot actually be intrigued to do so even if you're not interested. He cares about his students and their well being, he's a good man I can feel that, there's a few teachers like that.
Professor Manbahal is amazing - his classes are a breeze. Easy quizzes, assignments, and exams. I used Unstuck study along with the free textbook to ace this course.
hidden gem i wish he taught more courses, if you have a chance to get him take him at all cost
Awesome prof. Super easy to understand, speaks very clearly. Makes little jokes which are funny. Very direct of what is expected of you. Encourages you to ask questions, gives very clear answers. Probably one of the best profs if this college.
Awesome Professor . He is by far the best professor I have known. Clear grading , amazing lectures , caring and down to earth person . I wish I could have him in other course as well .
Professor Michael Manbahal was the most effective professor for the Macroeconomics course. The assignments, quizzes, and exams were so easy. His teaching style is amazing as he always explains each topic in detail and all the lectures were easy to follow. Would definitely recommend this professor to other students!!!
Def one of the best profs at Seneca Polytechnic
Professor Manbahal was very considerate, and his discussions were clear and well explained. He made the topics easy to understand and created a supportive learning environment.
