Awesome class. Makes you think about things you wouldn't otherwise think about. Definitely worth taking. Apply for the minor!

Great professor and class.

One the best classes that I've taken. You will enjoy going to class and you won't skip any, because it's too much fun. You learn stuff about leadership that will be useful. Detailed but fair exams.

Bateman is the best. And if you like it, consider taking the Leadership minor.

The class is awesome. You learn a lot of quality information about yourself and how to be a better leader. However, the tests in this class SUCK. They are not reflective of your actual knowledge of the subject. 50% of the test is fill in the blank with one or more words ( no wordbank). Tests are straight regurgitation. He'll ask you what was that one specific word in that he said in some random quote from a lecture. There are only 2 tests and they count for 80% of your grade.
Overall great class and interesting lectures, but make sure you copy and memorize everything that comes out of his mouth ( including his favorite past time activities and the concerts he went to)

Bateman spells out his expectations at the beginning of the semester and keeps to them. A lot of people complain about the midterm and final, but if you go to class and take detailed notes you will do really well in the class. I got an A in Bateman's class and it was not a struggle at all. He is a very enjoyable professor who loves to teach and presents the material (even though it is not always the best) in a fun way. Definitely take the class!

This class is ridiculous. While Bateman is a great lecturer, the tests are way too hard. You are forced to memorize random terms and facts from readings, which doesn't at all show your knowledge of the material. Studying for tests is a waste of everyone's time.

Bateman is a great lecturer and really funny but the class is kind of a joke. The exams are on things that are the tiniest details from lecture (so going to every lecture is a must) or outside reading that is assigned. Half of the lecture is talking to your neighbor which is nice to meet new people, but also a huge waste of time because nothing that is said is going to be on the exam. It was a fun class to take but not as easy as the GPA shows.

bateman is the man. he's hilarious, so it's not hard to sit through lecture. definitely take it

definitely a worthwhile class. bateman is a hilarious professor with funny stories and guest lecturers that keep you engaged. midterm/ final is very picky/ word for word. go through notes thoroughly and anything that is mentioned as a possible extra credit probably will be extra credit on the exam. not a very difficult class. enjoyable and learned a lot of practical advice.
you do not really have to buy the $50 coursepack. i didn't buy it this past semester and still did fine. just take good notes.
