COMM 2600

He's enthusiastic and fun. The guest lecturers vary from boring to really interesting. It's not an easy A class but it's enjoyable most of the time.

Lectures are usually pretty fun and the speakers that Bateman brings in are great. The midterm and final are pretty detail oriented so beware!

Stay away from this course. Prof. Bateman is a great guy but the tests he gives are horrendous. The majority of the questions are short answer and must be a direct quote from the book. There is no partial credit on any answers (I asked the TA). This class is presented in a fun way but will hurt your GPA.

Bateman rocks! He has great stories and really cares about his students.

Bateman is the best professor that I have had at UVa. He is humble, yet hilarious and manages to really teach you a lot each class while keeping you very entertained. Reading is assigned, but there is very little and you can just do it right before the test.
I almost did not take this class because it looked like a guaranteed B, but that would have been a HUGE mistake. Anybody who is considering it should take this class, no questions asked. Plus, the grading is easier than the graphs would suggest :)

Professor Bateman truly is different from any other professor you have, however, I do think some of the things he says in class are repetitious. The guest speakers can be really interesting though! Your grade is mainly based on your midterm and final

Professor Bateman is awesome. Take this class

Bateman is the man. Such a great class to go to and you really learn. Guest lecturers are good too. Not sure how the grading scale works though. Still, great class.

Bateman's the man

This class was really enjoyable. Professor Bateman teaches the concepts quite well and knows how to choose examples that few will forget. Guest speakers are hand picked and make the class even greater. Expect lots of QA and opportunities to interact. Highly recommend.
