Comment:

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 :)

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

Comment:

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

You are only graded based upon 4 test. This is the hardest class I have ever taken, and I understood nothing. This is not a class to take to breeze by. You need to put in the extra study hours to pass. The test are very hard, so good luck. Take every opportunity he gives for extra credit, you will need it.

Comment:

Bahman is seriously one of the best professors I've ever had. He is very passionate about his subject, and he is hilarious. He only puts tests in the grade book and his tests are difficult, but there is opportunity for extra credit if you've read the chapters. Only take this class if you are serious about economics & you don't have a lot of classes

The most energetic and passionate professor I have ever met. This guy gets to personally know each student and has been known to attend weddings as well. His exams are difficult, however, if you attend class, you will pass. I loved his MacroEcon class. It was AMAZING.

Comment:

Bahman is one of the greatest professors at PV. If you listen and take notes on his lectures you will be sure to pass the class. He makes every class very interesting and some people do find his humor abrasive. However he genuinely cares about his students and is one of the sweetest, most caring teachers at PV. 100% would take again, so glad I did

Bahman is the best professor I ever had. And no I mean it! He is the one who got me into Economics, and Now I am in my masters program with one of the top graduate schools in the world. If you are planning to go to this class and just go there to attend you will have a hard time. You will learn in this class, Maneshni means well and will help.

You would be lucky to have Bahman Maneshni as your professor, as he is 1 of the few who GENUINELY CARES about each of his students & their comprehension of the material. People who say this course is difficult are those who go to school just to pass, not to learn. Bahman is hands down THE BEST PROFESSOR I've ever had, and probably ever will have.

He likes to call people out, be ready to participate. Being the quiet kid in class you will NOT pass. I had to drop the class due to failing 2 exams. He wants you to understand the overall concept not memorize.

Professor Maneshni is one of the few teachers who actually cares about his students and wants you to learn and understand the material, not just memorize it. He WILL call on you frequently and will give you a hard time if you don't know it BUT he also gives great feedback and genuinely wants you to do well.

Alright, everyone is telling you how hard this class is. Its not. Show up and take notes. That simple. Dont miss class, do the reading before every class, participate, and you will have about a letters grade worth of extra credit for every test. Best professor i have had in 5 semesters at PVCC, and the most entertaining one too. Take his class.

Comment:

Prof. Maneshni has an unusual but effective teaching style. He is very active in his economics classes and doesn't not use a PowerPoint to teach. You are expected to read the chapter before coming into class, but he rewards the people that do. If you work hard, he'll work just as hard for you. But on the flip side, if you slack off he won't care

I've taken Bahman for both ECN 211 and 212. He is an amazing professor who genuinely cares about his students. There are 4 exams and those are the only thing graded in class. Lots of extra credit, so reading the text before class is highly recommended to get some of those extra credit points! Work hard and you will be able to pass no problem.

Comment:

This is by far the BEST professor I have ever had during my time at PVCC. Bahman cares a lot about his students, and does everything he can to help you understand the material. Do not let any negative comments discourage you from taking this course - if you are involved and on top of your reading, you will enjoy taking his class! :)
