Mr. Horan is a very professional teacher and he is very fair. His assignments are very straight forward. Take him if you're serious about learning about business and principles of management, trust me you will learn a lot. I really enjoy this class.
Very professional and knowledgeable, the classes are interactive which I really like. He his clear and straight to the point and ensures to explain the text material. Once you pay attention and interact with class exercises you will learn. I would definitely take his class again.
Great lectures. Tells you what you will be tested on. Must read textbook. Essential to getting a good grade.
HE IS THE BEST , HE BORN TO BE A TEACHER, THAT'S ALL
very specific during his lectures, will let you know what to study for the test specifically. syllabus is very clear cut and easy to follow, easy to finish work ahead of time and cruise through class
He is a great teacher if you take him you will learn and will never forget what you learned.
Good instructor. He cares about you learning, which is a plus. Very hard tests, but every question is found from the book or he talks about them in class. The workload he gives is very manageable.
Prof. Horan is a genuinely interesting person, and he is a good teacher as well. He brings his vast life experience to every class and offers unique perspectives on business and management if you have any interest.
Very flexible on assignments. Prof. Horan expresses true clarity in what he discusses in class and is open to input from students. Explains concepts in a way the any student could relate and comprehend. Overall, a great teacher. Highly recommend
This was a hybrid class - a lot of reading outside of class. I found the assignments easy to complete. The powerpoints make it easy to follow along in lecture.
nice class , fast pace though....
Highly recommended, he is one of the best instructor on NOVA.
His lectures make everything easy to understand, and they are so good you won't even look at the clock till the class is over.
Prof. Horan is a very knowledgeable professor in the area of business.
He is excellent !! best teacher i had this semester !!
Great professor, taking him now. If you want a good grade you have to put in the work. Im struggling with it now but i can tell you IVE LEARNED MORE IN THIS CLASS than i would have in any other NVCC course. I have to take another next semester but ive learned the tools i need for it. ONLY professor ive had who I can call whenever I have a question!
Great professor. Useful class.
i'm currently taking this teacher for introduction to business. and i believe his lectures are really interesting and he is very knowledgable since he is also a business owner himself he has a first hand experience. do his homework and attend his class, there wont be a reason you wont ACE his course.
His lectures in class are very helpful when doing the quizzes online, if you listen you will pass the class, just turn in homework every week when it's due and you will have no trouble passing the class.
He is professional, optimist, always happy, fun, lot of knowledge. I really like his teaching style, the way he speaks and moves in the class. I wish I can take him with me to where I'm transferring GM. Simply awesome! just take him. He will go over the test and do review before the exam day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! LOVED IT!
I like him as teacher. He has all the tools that will help you to pass the class the only thing I would like from him to think about is the grading of the quizzes. I think he may need to change the grading scale . because almost half of the points is for the quizzes. and the questions are confusing. in general, he is a good teacher . Take his calss
He is a great teacher! I was sad when I found out he taught MKT 200 because I would of selected him! He makes the class very interesting and I always look forward to going! If you read, do your quizzes, and assignments you will get an A! He give the answers to the test during his lecture, so make sure you bring a notebook and listen carefully!
Very helpful Prof. If you a question, you can reach him anytime by text. Very flexible.
I love this class because Professor Horan is above knowledgeable. He possess great abilities to understand and communicate with people on all levels. He's awesomely helpful!
Professor Horan is like the bible of business. He knows everything about it and will always give real life examples. If you really want to learn about business, you should take his class.
A very interesting professor and helps you understand the subject.
great online class, thursday night. BUS 100, basic concepts and vocabulary/.
Great class! Tons to learn about in a short time since it is a hybrid course! but it is well worth it. You have to keep up with the chapters and not fall behind. I learned a lot from Professor Horan, and I plan to take his Entrepreneurship class soon.
You MUST go to every class. The test questions are taken directly from the book, but the lectures will always direct your focus to what's important. Since the tests are timed, you should know what sections to focus on to help you find the textbook answers faster. His real-world experience is great, but a lot of class time is spent on tangents.
Professor Charles Horan is a great educated professor, he's smart witty and easy to talk to. If you take his class, you won't regret it. BUT there is a lot of work, which is a given, and you probably shouldn't miss any class because attendance is worth a lot of points. I recommend that anyone should take a business class. its super informative.
Really great class, expect to work.
Professor is really good, he explained material by using real life example. Class is very clear and easy to follow . Professor give a lot of assignments, it could be hard if you take 8 week class :). Overall professor is really good and easy to understand.
The class is taught well. The information is easy to follow and I appreciate learning other fun facts alongside everything. I like how he is open to feedback and likes to have the class engage as much as possible. I would recommend and take the class again.
Very Direct, to the point, no non-sense, and I really appreciated that he stuck to the syllabus. He does tend to speed through a few lectures, but 90% they're good and he'll always ask if any points need clarification.
Professor Horan is a great teacher. This is my second time taking his course, and he is awesome. He knows everything there is about business. I highly recommended students take his courses.
"good professor," if you do your homework, and make sure to attend in his the class............................................................................................. He is very nice and helpful professor. Never be tired in his class!!! very energetic an encourage the students to work in group, and do the task in a team. I recommend him.
Professor Horan is a very professional teacher. The information is easy to follow and the exercises doing in class are very helpful. He is open to feedback and easy to communicate by text or email. I really enjoy his class.
You get what you put into the class! He has a lot of management/business experience, and the classes go by very fast. There is group activities and the expectations of the class is very clear. He is available by text if you have any questions. One of my favorite quotes, "crickets." Funny teacher too!
This class was wonderful. It had a good balance of group activities, videos, paper assignments, and etc. I enjoyed the videos he posted, and you can get a lot of practical use from taking this course. I highly recommend this course, plus he is a funny professor!
He walks you through the subject matter but you are expected to study and prepare ahead so you can participate in the discussions. His examples are real life illustrations of the topics being discussed. I learned "QTM" from him - whatever it is that is worth doing, must always have Quality, be Timely (meet deadlines), and be within budget (Money).
Excellent class. Professor Horan is one of the best teacher at NOVA. He is extremely knowledgeable in business and I highly recommend the class.
Professor Horan has demonstrated to be my favorite professor in business at NOVA. His classes are very dynamic, he always puts real examples in his lectures, and his assignments are very interesting. He is also very helpful and easy to contact. If you want to learn business principles without falling asleep, enroll in his class !
Professor Horan is a faNiantic choice for BUS 200. You will have to keep up in the book yourself because the lectures cover material you need to read before class. Expect to be called upon. The tests are hard but don't comprise a huge portion of the total grade. Would take again !!!
He is the best Business Management teacher in Alexandria campus.
Amazing professor !!!
Practical and always available
He is an awesome professor who cares about his students! you earn your grade! remember that!!!
Great guy, laid back and knowledgeable on his subjects. Always on top his syllabi and grading so you are clear on what is expected. You get points on attendance, with extra credit for perfect attendance.
Prof. Horan, a businessman, a former Air Force , a government officer has many things to share with students. One of the best professor at NVCC Alexandria. Any of those planning to major on Business should take class with him and get involved into real world. Easy assignment, online test, easy classroom discussion are some plus point.
This was a great class the textbook was definitely used a lot for the chapter quizzes. I really enjoyed this class
I recommend anyone taking a business class to take Professor Horan's class. You'll love it.
Great Teacher. Very Knowledge with material. He has an extensive business background and it helps that he shares real-life business examples that relate to the material in the course. I would definitely take another class with him.
Great Professor respected by the students. Clear class expectation you will need to earn your grade.
Professor Horan was a cool cat and taught us a lot with plenty of good stories. I would take his other classes for sure.
Chuck is a great teacher with proven experience. He goes further and deep into content by sharing his own experiences. He makes the material relative to the students and cares about your interest in the lecture. Take him if you want an easygoing semester in a friendly atmosphere.
Took Professor Horan for Bus 100 over the summer. The class was great. He uses a lot of his own experiences in the lectures (mentioned his own pen business multiple times to enchance his point). If you pay attention to the lectures and do all the coursework outside of class on time it's easy to get a good grade.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this course! Mr. Horan's approach to teaching & everyday life examples make the course a joy to be a part of. Being an older student presents its challenges. He consistently let's us all know he has sat in our seats as a student before. I retained info beyond my perceived limit due to his uncommon & viable approach.
Enjoyed the class, great lectures. Would take him again. Learnt a lot.
Great teacher: he knows his stuff and makes class interesting- relates topics to real life. Fair grader but be ready to read. Overall class is an easy A, just go to class, read and do all your assignments.
Took Horan's management principles course and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I expected a real eccentric at first (especially from his website & the first few videos watched) but I've learned a lot from the class (he has a lot of real-world experience) and plan on taking his marketing class next summer if I have the time.
Good choice for a fast pace 8week course, I like the news reports.
I like it
Professor Horan class is very relaxed. I've learned a lot about the do's and dont's of starting a business. Can't wait to start up my business
Amazing professor.
Professor Horan has considerable experience and expertise pertaining to general business knowledge and entrepreneurship. In fact, he operates a successful micro-enterprise outside of his high level Federal Government job. He is a good resource for anyone wanting to explore entrepreneurship and small business ownership. Recommend BUS 116.
He explains very well, attendance required if you want a good grade, and very motivating
Very experienced, excellent when it comes to explaining, and funny
Attendance is mandatory, if you miss a class you'r participation grade goes down. The final exam and midterm are both open book. I took his second eight week class. Professor Charles as real life experiences so he gives great examples which makes the class more interesting and better to understand. He is a great professor! An amazing professor.
"Chuck" provides a unique approach of getting people from diverse academic backgrounds & beginnings to read & retain info. His stories are relevant to the text & normally funny which, makes class go by quickly. He is extremely knowledgable & personable! He's a class act & a model to aspire to for men & those w/interest in success business & life!
An amazing professor who doesn't go off powerpoints. It is evident he cares about the content of the course and makes the information relatable, clear, and concise. Textbook definitely mandatory but he understands students have busy lives as long as you inform him of you're tardiness. I previously failed this course but found my inspiration again.
BUS 200 - Great professor!
Prof. Horan is awesome! If you don't miss class and you complete all of your assignments then it will be hard to fail his classes. I wish I would have taken him sooner. Highly recommend!
Professor Horan is a great professor who makes teaching fun. His energy is contagious and he not only teaches about the Entrepreneurship course content, but gives you real-world lessons and stories from his own experience. He is fair, good humored, and accessible. I highly recommend taking his class if starting a business is what you want to do.
Straight to the point teaching
Great lectures, slides, videos, very understanding and funny.
Great lectures
He very good teacher
I thought Mr Horan was a great teacher. What I loved is the most is that he was available 24/7.
if you want to pass your BUS 100 with an A, you should take him. He is amazing, funny and it is difficult for you to fail.
Prof Horan is a great teacher. He gives you his cell number that you can text at anytime if you have a question. The class assignments are online and you can take them as many times as you need. The test are open book and open note. If you have half an ounce of motivation, you will get an A in this class.
Great teacher! Really knows his stuff and has the experience to back it up.
Wow. Thanks nova for having such professors. He will teach you business just with his own experience. He has a lot of experience from his own business and working in federal agencies. If your major is business, you MUST take a class with him. A very easy A too. I wish it was possible to take all my courses with him but thanks god I took one with.
He is a good professor. I have learned many new things from him.
real knowledge about the subject matter
I chose this class after reading some reviews here. I'm glad I took this class because professor Horan is respectful, easy to understand, and a fair grader. I recommend this class to everyone who wants to take BUS-101.
He has a real knowledge about the subject matter, smart guy. Doing assignments and submit on time. definitely, you will get a good grade. I highly recommend taking class with him. BUS100 and BUS200
Great teacher with years of experience in the business field, caring, understanding & funny. Attendance mandatory, perfect attendance & you can skip the final exam. 3-4 exams on BB with open book or find answers online. 1 group project. Extra credit available every week. 1 small speech. Easy A if you attend to every class & get an A on exams.
Great teacher and knows what he is talking about . Would definitely recommend. Always available for help and returns grades promptly. The workload is very manageable.
Very straightforward course, he explains very clearly what will be on exams and tests. Although assignments are sometimes vague in how they should be done, he always provides examples. His lectures are interesting and often pretty funny.
Very knowledgeable with ability to share knowledge. Great sense of humor
The professor is funny. Attendance is mandatory. do not skip class. He is a fair grader and he does not give a lot of assignments and his exams are online. They are not very easy but they are not hard as well.
Challenging course. Great level of difficulty and you must work for your grade. Professor is excellent and I highly recommend taking his class. You must read the chapters to get good grades on exams. The case studies require some work. The professor is fair and accessible to the students. Will definitely take another class with him.
Overall, very clear on lecture and examples given to the situation of the chapter. Just a little tough on grade. But very much a great professor.
He knows the material very well and does a good job transmitting that knowledge. He encourages discussions and questions from students. He is a tough but fair grader. This section requires a lot of reading but it's manageable.
Professor Horan is awesome he is very easy going and ready to help you with anything you need.... very easy to reach
He is an amazing and most hilarious professor makes class fun. replies very fast whenever u need him.
He is a great teacher. Very straightforward. Nice activities to do related to class.
Prof Horan is amazing! I would definitely take a class with him again. He explains the subject so well it makes it easy for us to understand the topics.
Professor Charles is great! He makes the class very entertaining and makes sure everyone understands the material. He wants to help you out as much as possible and wants you to get an A. I would definitely take his class again and highly recommend that you take him too.
The best professor ever! Very funny, easy to follow along with & the work is super simple. Def. taking his lectures in diff. topics of study!
was an awesome instructor!! throughly explained the content, and was very engaing with everyone and class was never boring
Passion professor with it work. He dose diverse activity to maintain the group active.
Really great professor. Answers all questions and truly wants his students to not only do well in his class, but actually understand the material.
Amazing professor and well knowledgeable about the business field! Answering all questions and giving feedback if you have any concerns. Follow his instructions Andy lectures, you will be fine!
Tough Grader, Expectation too high, and Overall would not take him again.
Solid professor very funny and teaches well.
Very knowledgeable about business and other things. Gives good lectures!
Great professor! easy to get A! strongly recommended! Since he owns a personal business, he gives us a lot of great and realistic examples from his own experiences. He is very open to help student and is the only one who can rep your text or email right away. The lectures are fun, interesting and go fast. I definitely will take his class again.
skip class and wont pass, fair grader, interesting lectures. must take!
Funny lectures that relate to real life examples.
It is easy to get an A, as long as the homework are done. Professor Horan uses real life example for every subject. His lectures are really interesting.
This teacher is really interesting and very engaged. Classes are easy as long as you do the work. Definitely take this teacher for Business 100.
I honestly was dreading taking BUS 100, but his lectures are always engaging&hilarious. He has his own business experience too! I rated easy A because a lot of business knowledge can be common sense, but make no mistake, you have to do your work on time, use your textbook and be familiar with the material. He lets you know what to study for exams.
Charles is the type of professor that impacts you academic life. He really knows his staff. he explain all the lectures with passion and simplicity, it makes learning fun even when this is a complex subject. Amazing guy'''''
Does a great job of explaining and keeps class interesting. Must attend classes.
Charles is the type of professor that impacts you academic life. He really knows his staff. he explain all the lectures with passion and simplicity, it makes learning fun even when this is a complex subject. Amazing guy
Professor Horan is a great! He really gets you interested in the material and encourages debating in class. If you think something is wrong, he will hear you out, teaching you if you are incorrect while also admitting when he is wrong. The tests/ quizzes are mildly difficult but you'll be fine if you participate! I'll be taking his class again!
Good class very informative
He was a very good teacher. I would take him again. Funny good story telling, I am very happy I got him as a professor. Though for BUS 100 you have to use mindtap which isn't my favorite.
It all boils down to is he wants you to succeed. Hell bend over backwards for you but you have to put the effort in. I cant think of anything that couldve been done to improve it.
Professor Horan's class was very simple. Come to class, take notes, and do online homework/tests. The tests are pretty straight forward. P.S. get ready to have a laugh each class!
Mr. Horan is a outstanding professor. He has a clear outline of what he requires and what you need to do. I took the hybrid class and learned the most during our once a week meetings compared to the online mindtap application. He was also very responsive when I had issues with the program outside of class.
mind tap is terrible. aside from that, great prof, interesting course. 11/10 looking forward to normal classes in BUS200
He is great at lectures and is makes learning fun!
Awesome teacher! He is very knowledgable about business and is great at communicating. The tests are easy and he tells you what's going to be on them. Attendance isn't mandatory but it is part of the grade.
Took a hybrid course using Mindtap. It took both professor and students about two weeks to get used to the operating system. After understanding the system, this course was a breeze. Professor is very straight forward, come to class and do the work!
great professor. easy homework online and interesting lectures. tells you everything you need to know for the test.
he is the best professor you can get. the classes were good. every thing went smoothly.
I would take this professor again
Beware- we were only graded on two tests and a few mindtap assignments. I made A's on every assignment, but struggled on my final exam- finishing the class .43 points away from an A. He will not round up grades or provide any extra credit work so that student's grades are not based on one bad test. I also didn't learn much in the class.
Right on target. The course met my needs and objectives. Just the right mix of lecture, reading and homework. Professor was very enthusiastic about the subject.
Great class! Semester flew by with Professor Horan, would recommend to anyone looking to start a business. Provides useful information.
This is a great professor!!
Excelente professor I really will enjoy it.
Good teacher, lots of experience.
Good professor will take his class again
Great professor, one of the best I've had in higher ed so far! He kept things fun and drew from his experiences. Homework every week, just reading, analyzing, and answering questions. 4 exams that were pretty moderate. I just wish he was at more than one campus! I will take a class with him again if I have the chance!!
Great lectures, good sense of humor, very knowledgeable and informative.
Professor Horan is AMAZING! I took an 8 week class so there were a ton of assignments due. but I still LOVED this class.
easy course easy life
Professor Horan is one of the best instructors Ive ever had. I would definitely take him again.
The course met all my objectives. Lecture, content, textbook and homework were right on target. Only wish the course was longer. A lot of good material but a very short time to absorb it all.
this was a fast paced course (8 weeks), but he made it very enjoyable. Be ready for class and review all the materials given on the syllabus.
Prof. Horan is by far the best Professor at NOVA. I took his 8-week class so it was fast paced (which I regret) because his class was so fun and interesting that the 16 week course would have been a lot better. He is very clear about assignments, syllabus, due dates, and exams. If you just pay attention in class .. you will get an A+ easily.
Prof. Horan is a great professor! Honestly the best in my opinion. I took his 8 week class, it was fast paced but also enjoyable. His teaching is beneficial and interesting. I was never bored in class. If you do all the assignments and pay attention in class, you'll pass.
Took a hybrid course using Mindtap. Very cooperative with all students to issuer their understanding by giving a lot of outside examples. The professor is very straightforward, come to class and do the work!.
He's got a great personality to be teaching a course that I thought was going to be dull. Made everything understandable with his own work experience and told a lot of jokes that do make you laugh!
He makes your time worth, besides being funny and to the point he knows what he is talking about. Although this class was fast paced and he lectured two lessons every class, it was easy to understand and learn. Overall he is amazing, I highly recommend taking his class.
I took the eightweek course. His lectures were interesting and informative. I would recommended taking his class.
I've taken two classes with this teacher and would take the third one without much thinking. He makes the class interactive and takes every second out of it to teach. Try to get his 16-week classes so you get as much as you can from it.
8 week class . have to to the work, not very difficult. gives you plenty of things for you to past the test. Easy A. if you do all the work
He is an excellent professor at Nova. I thought this class was going to be hard. But, it turned out quite manageable. He posts very much everything on the blackboard. Three tests, and - you will do well. I plan to take him again.
Honestly one of my favorite professors ever, I took him for BUS100, passed with a B+ and took business 200 with him as well. His homework assignments are easy to follow and are not time consuming. I would take him again.
I got to take him a second time with this class and I was not disappointed! Same humor as his Bus 100 class and an overall joy to take! I really hope he starts teaching some classes at Mason so I can continue taking him! A lot more papers to write than I was expecting but nothing that isn't manageable!
Chuck is a patient, caring, and entertaining professor who is able to draw from a wealth of management experience to make topics more real and relevant. I would definitely recommend this class!
Professor Horan, is the man; fair grading. He tells you what you need to do in order to get a goood grade and how to achieve it. Attendance is key though
Professor Horan is knowledgeable and hilarious. I enjoyed taking this class, and I would definitely recommend prof. Horan to anyone considering a business course. The assignments are quite interesting and actually help you understand better the material. The writing assignments may get a little challenging; however, useful.
Professor Horan is a great professor. Very insightful and fun and a fun teacher.
Cool professor, knowledgable about the subject, and makes the class fun with his stories.
Professor Horan is the most amazing and smart professor that I have b4. I enjoyed taking this class, and I would definitely recommend him. The assignments, group projects and explanations are very interesting making the students understand the course. Very dynamic. Hope NOVA will have more prof like him. :)
Keeps class engaged and entertained. As long as you do the reading you will be fine. Very fair and helpful whenever you need him.
Professor Horan class lectures are always engaging and insightful, he makes the best out of the class period. I would highly recommend him for those who are seeking to gain a solid foundation of the business principles required for other upper level classes.
Best professor I have EVER had. I took 8 weeks class. His lecture are the best. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
He is the best prof at nvcc
Pretty interesting class , professor Chuck is able to keep the class interesting and through his business experience can give some important life based knowledge. i reccomend this professor without any doubt.
Charles A. Horan, is a very educated professor and well organized. Please do yourself a favor and get a jump start on the assignments; if he chooses to use MindTap. His lessons are well-rounded in what's going on in our current events. He is Hilarious, allows a free environment to participate and most importantly didn't stay the whole class time.
Professor Horan really cared if we understood the material and he always gave great examples.
Professor Horan is a great teacher and I highly recommend taking any corse he offers. The grading is fair, and I am beyond please with having Professor Horan as my intro to business professor. The lecture are awesome and full of knowledge. He basically walks you through the most important info in each chapter.I Look forward to business 200 in Fall
Professor Horan is great his grading is fair. As long as you do the work he assigns, take notes in class, read the book and SHOW UP you will do great in his class. I recommend taking any courses he offers specially if your looking to take an 8 week course I recommend him.
Professor Horan is a fantastic professor and I recommend taking his BUS100 course. The grading is fair and outlined cleared in the syllabus being a mix of attendance, exams, and online assignments. The lectures are interesting and he notes key points from the chapters.
Professor Horan is an amazing teacher, he makes learning fun & really gets you inspired. He knows a lot about business & does not make it difficult. I recommend taking his class he can definitely teach & help you understand everything there is to know about business!
Professor Horan is a teacher who shows passion and enthusiasm to what he teaches. I am currently taking his BUS100 class and I would highly recommend this course. He breaks down difficult material. Come prepared, ready to engage, take notes, actually read the chapters and you will succeed. Tests are pretty fair and the class overall is great.
Professor Horan is a teacher who shows passion and enthusiasm to what he teaches. I took BUS100 this semester and I am enjoying the class. encourages students to be engaged to the class. Defiantly recommend it!
Excellent professor.
Easy A is you focus on the program.
I took a 8 week class, lots of online homeworks which is expected. Very good prof, explains whats important, if you don't understand him ask him a question and he will explain it again. would recommend to all of my friends
I took BUS 100 with Professor Horan, it was an amazing experience. He starts the class on time and prefers students attend the class and if you do attend all the classes you will know the lectures and important points that will be in the exam. Further, he is also helpful and will make sure you get a fair grade.
He is an amazing professor, the most interesting from all I had in NVCC, show up, do all assignments and you will pass!
He is the best professor i have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable and treats you like adults. Do not sit on the back of the class as he will choose you to answer questions. Read the book chapter by chapter as his test and homework are directly from their. The guy is funny and has great history.
Great Professor! There is a lot of homework in connect, but he gives you an ample amount of time to finish everything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone to take this class.
Very accurate communication from the beginning of the course of what is expected from students and how to pass. Prepares students very well for each test. Down to earth. GREAT PROFESSOR!!!!!
interesting lectures. lots of homework. expect around 6 hours a week of hands on homework. 50% of your overall grade. attendance is 10%.
Great summer class!! Funny stories & not too much work
Great professor! Took 6 week course which was work heavy but he made it an easy A! Totally recommend
Amazing teach, can text him and he will respond asap. Gives amazing examples, and the class goes by so fast.
I really enjoyed this class. Professor Horan's classes were never boring. Attendance is not mandatory, but it's 10% of your grade so highly encouraged. Be prepare to spend long nights doing HW, since each chapter can take up to 2 to 5 hours. I will be taking one more class with him for sure.
He is one of the best professors that I have seen so far. His lectures are very clear and understandable. Moreover, he creates a very friendly atmosphere for students which motivates them to ask questions and give their opinions about lectures.
Awsome
I took a 6week class, there was a lot of assignments that you need to finish before class, but less than what you would be used to taking a 6week online course. If you miss class, you might find the quizzes hard. Assignments are half your grade+ attendance is 10%+do your quizzes, and you will pass. It is an easy A, but you have to work for it.
There will be quite some work because it is an 8 week class, but the lectures really help understand each chapter! Totally recommend!
Just take him. Hes wonderful. One of the best professor at nova.
Awesome professor. He is very organized, and he knows his subject. Weekly assignments online and midterm and final online. He makes the class fun and make us work as groups.
He is amazing. He explained very clear . you really learn the topics. he engage the class. he open to ideas. he is flexible.
This professor is great and his class is fun. Although class attendance is not mandatory, u need to be in class if you want to pass. Lots of Assignments and reading needed to pass. He is very understanding when you talk to him and he is willing to help you pass if you put in the effort.
Mr. Horan is an amazing professor. Do your homework and papers and you will pass. He is very understanding. His lectors are relatable. I got a B+ because I honestly for to take a test but I'm still passing. Super easy and I would dtotally recommend him
Professor Horan is best instructor i have taken two classes with. I would highly recommend him for anyone taking business classes.
Professor Horan is an excellent business professor available at NVCC. His grading criteria is concise and clear. While power-points and lecture are the primary means of teaching, exercises to reinforce concepts are mixed in as well.
his class isn't boring, he is a great prof. only two exams and they are open book.
Class are fun and interactive. You need to submit assignments on time and attend class.
One of the best professors at NOVA, take him!!!!
Great Professor. Honestly one of the best I've had at NOVA. His communication is clear and he's willing to help anytime students have questions. The class is fairly simple, as long as you read the textbook and ACTUALLY do the assignments. Everything is already laid out for the semester, all you have to do is the work and understand the concepts.
The best professor ever!!!! I love his teaching approach. He is very careful and helpful to students. I wish study business classes only with him.
He is a good professor, his class is not difficult at all. Of course, you need to do the assignments to get a good grade. He is very nice person. Also the textbook with him is mandatory.
Great professor that explains lectures very well and is straight up about what each student needs to do to be successful in his class. He is also funny and very understanding. I would take him for any business course!
Great, if you put time and effort.
He made the class fun to go too. He makes jokes so you stay focused on him. I would recommend taking him. He's a great teacher.
He is a good professor; you can learn a lot from him. Be aware that the book he uses for this class has a lot of good content, but you have to do an online test every week. A lot of reading! However, it is not hard. You just have to do the homework.
one of the best instructor at NOVA i took business 270 and 280 easy to pass if you do the work
Professor Horan is truly a great professor. He has great knowledge on many topics. Although, class is fairly easy to pass, I suggest you pay attention as you learn benefits information for the real world.
Overall he is a good professor with work experience related to the courses he teaches. His grading criteria is clean-cut. Course is intense in reading and homework, but if a homework deadline is missed and have a valid excuse, the professor is flexible on giving extra time to complete. I would take another course with him again.
His class is easy you just make sure you do all the homework but it is not difficult and also he gives the test to be taken at home that is a bonus. You all should take him the best professor.
Amazing professor, very fun classes and explains the content in a very good way.
Great teacher. He is very knowledgeable and is willing to help students. Definitely would take this teacher again.
Good professor. Just take notes, focus during the lecture and be ready to learn and have some good laughs.
Exam questions were based on the book. Homework is easy. just do the reading. Attendance is mandatory only to get full points. Just show up and pay attention to the lecture. He explains everything really clearly.
Professor Horan is very knowledgeable and knows what he is teaching. He is accessible after class. If you have any question, just text him he will get back to you. Take him, you won't regret.
Excellent teacher, always ready to help, very professional.
Professor Chuck is one the best of the best of the professors in NOVA. I have taking him for 2 business classes and I wish he taught all business classes I would have taking him. He is great, fun, teaches well, he connects the outside world with the class. Very knowledgeable and always on time. If you read and do HW you get and A+Thank you, Chuck.
Professor Horan is a great professor. He is super helpful and funny for his students. Come to class, do the homework, and the assignments and you will pass the class.
The professor does use the textbook to do homework, tests and quizzes. But I had taken this class during COVID-19, but still the class was good it gave me a good grade. There are some group work but trust me, I do not like group work, but the work was done fast and you could leave class afterwards. But remember, this was done during COVID.
Took this professor over zoom during COVID, if you have the option take his class over zoom DO IT!!!!!! Great professor, hardest assignment imo was the news article.
Professor Horan is a great professor
This class was presented over zoom and he didn't make it stressful at all. One of my favorite teachers this semester and taking his class next semester too! He gave clear instructions, didn't give out busywork, and he's funny so lectures were always enjoyable! TAKE HIS CLASS AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
This class was well taught and organized by Professor Horan! The homework is simple if you do the reading. We have group work at the end of most classes and it very interactive. He's also always available through text anytime if you have questions which is great. I would highly recommend you to take Professor Horan, you won't be let down.
Because of COVID the classes are online which means you do need the textbook to do the homework. However, Cengage homework is challenging! But you only get one assignment for the whole week. Must show up to class because the professor does count your absence; just show up! Besides that he is amazing and is a fun professor for any studnet!
I took him on zoom during COVID. He's really funny and gives examples of everything from his life which helps with understanding topics. HW is on Cengage but it takes the average of your 3 tries rather than you highest which can be frustrating at times. Other than that, he's a good professor and I'd recommend him
Professor Horan was amazing! We had classes via Zoom due to COVID-19, but he made things very clear. As long as you do the homework and two papers about news articles, you should be good :-) He is the best professor I have ever had. TAKE HIM, YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!
Love him. I am so sad that this is my last class with him. He is very clear with his expectations and how you can get an A. He tells you what will be on his test so you can study what he tells you. The homework is easy. The majority of it is on Quizlet (we used Pearson).
He is great and easy going. We used Pearson for homework, there are 2 news paper articles, and two exams that he mentions their questions in the exam review. I recommend taking him if you want an easy A!
He is amazing. get his class and you wont regret. two exams, two article assignments, quizzes for each chapter. he is so nice and caring.
He is a great professor. I would recommend taking his class. Also, he was very caring and helpful throughout this semester.
He explained in an easy way. If you follow up with assignment you will get a good grade.
Online zoom class. He is very detailed and helpful.
Just show up and keep up with the homework. He won't make you suffer. Really helpful professor.
The teacher does not have much homework. There are two multiple-choice exams with 50 questions. Generally speaking, its not bad. This class is easy to pass if you read the book carefully and do your homework.
Great professor. Complete homework on time and attend class. Grade based on completion of homework assignments, tests, and 2 main projects. Easy class and helpful professor.
Professor Horan is very helpful. He is very funny and would explain the material as many times to make sure we get it. I loved this course because of him, he is incredibly sincere to his job.
Extremely easy class if you do the online assignments. Attendance is 5%, so if you miss a class it's not that harsh. Would take him again.
Would take again.
Professor Horan is an outstanding professor. I learned a lot and the class was manageable. Exams were not difficult, and he knows what he is teaching. Highly recommend to take him!
The Professor is great!
Professor Horan is really kind and easy to understand during lecturing. The class is very structured and organized so you won't have a hard time understanding what's going on. He could be easier to contact through e-mail but otherwise, he is a great professor and a great choice for your business class.
Uses a lot of YouTube, but its a Zoom class so what can you expect. Due dates for homework were on days of exams. Only two exams, but a lot of work in between.
For online class: Lots of homework but manageable even for an adult student with a FT job. Recorded lectures available in Zoom and all quizzes and exams are open-books. Easy A
Professor Horan is a great professor. He is very helpful, nice, and easy to contact. The lectures are helpful and important for the quiz. Only 2 tests, 2 articles, and some homework for each chapter.
the way he teaches is great and fun
Awesome professor!! His class is too easy and we learn a lot.
I enjoyed this class and look forward to the next.
Honestly, professor Charles A. Horan is one of the best professor I have never seen. He is very nice and professional. He has a lot of information about the business that shared with us during the class. He answer most of the questions of students and he is such a great professor for business 100 and I am planning to take my rest classes with him.
Knowledgeable, organized, interesting stories, flexible, personable
He was a great professor.
Easy A if you show up for class/zoom. In terms of actually learning the material, you get out what you put in. The professor is a nice guy.
So my class doesn't actually show up in the classes this site provides for me to select. I had him for Intro To International Business BUS280 040A and he was great! I'm married with a full time job and 3 daughters, trying to take this class with the pandemic was excruciating but he was REALLY understanding and help me out. He's a great guy!!!!!!
Great Professor, I wish he was teaching more of the classes I need to take.
This class was really easy to keep up with because of the way the class was divided into 2 sections (First 3 weeks and 2nd 3weeks of the 6 week course) over summer. There is a 4 page paper due for each of the 3 weeks and all the hw is due at the end of the sections too so you could do the hw at your own pace and it does take long. There are 2 tests
A Great professor who pushes his student succeeds by providing a great framework for the course. Would highly recommend this class to anyone who is willing to put in the work. You will succeed in this class.
Really great professor, extremely funny. Always there to help the students if they have any questions. Goes out of his way to make sure everyone learns.
Honestly I took a 7 week course with this professor and I didn't feel overwhelmed or anything. I had plenty of time to do my work. Tests and homework I did on my own time obviously with a due date but I had plenty of time. He gives extra credit and you only meet once a week for two and half hours but trust me its not even bad. Great professor !
7-week class (once per week via Zoom, 2.5 hours - graded attendance), and I learned a lot. A solid professor especially when you are cementing the basics. Straightforward grading: course had four sections/tests, chapter homework, NO late work. Lecture heavy but engaging; he is fun and gives plenty of extra credit. Take him if you want to learn!
I took Prof. Horan's BUS 100 and really enjoyed his class. He understood that most of us who attended his class had a job or either kid and he was very helpful in that aspect. He made it fun and I enjoyed the lectures and videos during class. As long as you complete the assignments when they are due and study for your exams you will do well.
MUST TAKE. very knowledgeable.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Great Professor. Very simple to pass the class. Do the work and get a good grade.
You have to purchase MyLab to due the hws and quizzes. Only 2 exams and you got a week to take them whenever they're announced. Two papers about anything business related (4-5 PGs). Soft voice, so turn up the volume. Lecture heavy, but he does play videos most of the time. Does some group work in zoom, but they're not horrible.
My fav this semester. Really caring and respected. Hw weekly through Pearson, be aware to purchase with that program. 2 big news article Intnl related. 2 exams overall. Lectures, very fair provided with videos. Quizzes part of the hw in Pearson. Occasionally group works (barely, but its so easy). He responds ASAP. Cool chill prof. Recommend!!!!!!!
Professor Horan is a kind and fun person. He made the class so simple to understand. In class, he plays Youtube videos to help you comprehend the content better. His homework and papers are manageable. In his class, you will learn a lot while having fun. I highly recommend him! If you do your homework and finish it on time, you will receive an A+.
Great Professor who teaches valuable real life useful knowledge and is easy to discuss things with. Very open to working with you. He cares more about you learning the material than you memorizing information.
One of the best classes I've taken! Very clear on what's expected, fair teacher and has lots of knowledge and experience.
Course work was easy to understand. Beware with a lot of reading in the beginning of the semester! Otherwise everything else was easy.
Great class! Great professor! Not necessarily an easy "A," but if you go to class, do the readings and assignments, come prepared to participate in the in-class group discussions/activities, you can do well in this course. Highly recommended!
Very nice persons. gives us a lot of time to do assignments. Only problem was the homework's were bit too long and boring, but they are very easy and as long as you finish it it's an A. Open notes Tests. Overall easy and fun class.
Very patient and good professor. I will take a course thought by him without any hesitation. H e take time to explain things and the pace is reasonable. He makes things very easy for students and he's funny too.
One of the best professors at NOVA. I highly recommend taking his class.
Professor Horan is a good teacher. He was able to teach the class in a short period of time. His class discussions are very interesting and his test reviews are very helpful. This helped me remember most of the information. He does expect us to attend every class because the amount of information we go over. I would definitely recommend his class
7-week online lecture Sat am. The course was engaging and VERY informative. Best decision ever! Time passes quickly; gives a couple of quick breaks and super helpful examples that tie material learned to real-life experiences. All assignments through E-book & Connect take time, so try to space them out over the week. JUST TAKE THE CLASS!
Genuinely one of the best professors I've had this year! Professor Horan is very clear about grading information and is EXTREMELY knowledgable on the subjects that he teaches. I'm kind of surprised by how much he was able to teach me in just a few months. I definitely recommend him!
I loved Professor Horan, he really cared about the subject and enjoyed teaching it to us. The class was condensed into a shorter time period but he did a great job of balancing the work load over the course. If you have to take a business class, he is a great choice if you are trying to learn and get an A.
7 week of Bus 100 with Professor Horan was such a breeze. Professor was very clear to understand Just complete the module assignments and exams and you will pass. Very helpful, will give exam reviews all the time. Definitely recommend this professor. Stay on track of your assignment and you will do great.
I took this class virtually. There's an online textbook w/ assignments required for each chapter. we met once a week to review the chapters we read. Mid term and final were open book. 2 news article review papers to write, he provides a template and its very simple. just do the assignments, go to class and you'll pass easily.
Mr Horan is a great professor and they are very knowledgeable on the topics that they teach. Their wisdom comes from years of experience and it shows in their lectures and feedback. Mr. Horan is also easy to reach and provides clear instructions on what is needed so you don't get behind in class.
He is one of the best business professors. The course requires purchasing an online textbook to complete the homework. The homework is easy, but kind of tedious. Also, there would be two papers. I really recommend taking him.
Professor Horan is one of the greatest professors I have taken for business, he knows what he's teaching. There are 20 homework, 2 papers, and thats it. he's really calm and awesome. Also, he replies to his emails really quickly. Definitely take him for business classes.
Professor Horan is an amazing and very realistic teacher. His lectures are engaging and his class organization and design are perfect for the short class. I would definitely take one of his classes again.
Professor Horan was great! His lectures are very thorough and easy to understand. Great class I will highly recommend this class!
Professor Horan is a W professor. He's great, the class was easy and the assignments were doable. Take him!
Professor, Charles A. Horan was one of the best professors I have the pleasure to learn from. He had a very easy mastery of the subject matter and convey it in a way that made it extremely easy to absorb. More professors can learn from him. I am very pleased with the knowledge received from this course and would higly recommend it to others.
Professor Horan is one of my favorite professors at NVCC. He is knowledgeable about the material and presents it in a way that keeps you engaged in the class. As long as you do your work and attend class, the information is relatively easy to understand and retain. I highly recommend taking his class.
He is one of the kindest teachers I have met so far. I highly recommend you to take his class. Quiz for each chapter and 4 exams, all open book. At the beginning of the class he said that he would not provide any extra credit, but as the class progressed he provided 3 extra credits. But you don't really need it because this class was very easy.
I would like to take his class, Definitely Love his class
Overall I enjoyed this business class it was straightforward. The workload is manageable and the professor is available and easy to reach.
I highly recommend Professor Horan for their dedication and expertise in teaching business with real life examples.
Professor Horan was the best and kindest professor. There is a decent amount of work but it is super manageable. It was great to learn from him and I would take him again!
Great professor highly recommend this class!! Professor Horan's lectures were very easy to understand and thorough. Very organized and on top of everything. Tests were easy and open note, assignments weren't time consuming and the questions are from the textbook. There are two papers due throughout the semester and he is a very easy lenient grader.
I highly recommend taking Professor Horan's. Lectures were very easy to understand and thorough. Tests were easy and open note, Assignments are from the textbook but very easy. There are two papers due throughout the semester. Attendance is graded.
Pretty standard workload for an asynchronous course. Prof. Horan gave good feedback on assignments, and posted announcements each week so students knew what was due. His exams are kinda tough since there's no study guide, but you get to use a sheet of notes so make sure to study quizzes/relevant textbook info and you should be fine!
Very good professor. I would highly recommend him. Workload is not bad and homework pretty easy.
Taking 280 as an ONLINE class was easy, but tedious. Assignments were based on McGraw Hill concept materials that took a few hours to complete, but was still easy. As well as, weekly journal prompts. Prof himself was accessible outside class. I recommend working ahead on the McGraw Hill homework for this class, it WILL BE in your favor!
This BUS 280 class is a good class, since proff Choran makes it easier and more fun to learn about the contents of the book. Lots of homework, one midterm and a final and two news articles. He also provides reviews before each exam. Take this class you won't regret it.
Professor Horan makes this class engaging and straightforward. The online homework can be tedious, but with resources like unstuckstudy ai, it's manageable. Exams are challenging but open-note, and the two papers aren't too time-consuming. Overall, a solid business class worth taking.
