Very interesting prof.He is a real world attorney which makes the cases he discusses insightful.Approachable and draws on the book heavily. Overall, it's great to have a prof who can relate the theoretical concepts to real world applications.

Has no intention of helping students. I went to his office hours 2 days before the midterm and he was not there, so I emailed him and asked if he would be in his office the next day. He replied to me 20 minutes before the midterm saying he's in his office. He also rarely responds to emails.

Good prof, explains things clearly. Lectures are recorded and notes are online and are the ones provided by the publisher of the text book. Midterm was easy and final was fine. Don't have to attend lecture if you don't need to but the class is interesting so it's worth while.

Comment:
The course is crammed with tons of content and sometimes gets off schedule, but Bateman clearly explains the concepts and gives an interesting lecture. He tells lots of humorous stories and presents many cases that help relate the concepts to real-life situations. The workload is fairly light as well. One of my favorite classes in university.

The class is really interesting and I thought coming in that Law would be all about memorization, it's not. Bateman's a good lecturer and the exams are fair and I would say crammable in a day or two if you're really behind.

Comment:
boring lectures especially nearing the end of the semester. at first it was pretty interesting with all the stories he tells, but then the stories took too long and we were falling behind so he rushes things. we were expected to know the stuff he didnt cover in class because there wasnt enough time. the exams were hard, have to get every detail

Excellent prof, I attended all his classes and he was very clear on all the materials. The course had no memorization, just need to understand the material and you will be fine. This course made me want to go to Law school, A++.

Great instructor. Knows lots about Business Law. The course itself isn't easy... lots of memorizing. I don't know how Yates is like but I recommend taking BUS 393 with Bateman.
