Chinedum is a boring teacher when he teaches and tries to be funny yet nobody will laugh. He gives you PowerPoint's for each chapter and will barely go through it with detail. His homework's are hard because he doesn't teach it in class and expects you to know it on your own. Tests are easy, review day class before test, gives practice test.

He cares about your grade and will let you email him at any time to ask for help. The homework is annoying because you have to buy an online software, but it's once a week and not too difficult. Exams are easy, he's engaging and teaches the course like how I would learn a class in highschool. Not a hard class at all.

I have taken Professor C for two different classes and he's one of the best professors I've had at Towson. He may sound harsh to some, but it's literally just his sense of humor. He encourages participation only because he wants his students to succeed and he's super knowledgeable about what he's teaching and breaks it down for the test. TAKE HIM!

people claim that he is rude but really just has a standard that some arent used to that actually makes you a better student. he wants everyone to learn and succeed but doesnt have much tolerance for lack of effort (i.e. asking questions already discussed, being logged on to a virtual class but not responding when called upon). dont be sensitive

I was not impressed with this professor. I took him for FIN 331 and he is one of my LEAST favorite professors. He gets attitudes when you don't answer a question he asks in 2.5 seconds. When you ask a question about something he already went over, he gets upset and says you aren't paying attention. He came off as a very cocky and not too helpful.

Don't listen to all of the negative reviews because they are coming from students who do not pay attention and expect an A. He is an excellent professor, he teaches the subject really well and wants students to participate. He wants kids to learn and will repeat himself if you have any questions.

Professor Chinedum is the type of professor every student wishes to have at some point, he is a cool dude that you can relate to and really just wants his students to participate. I had no problem showing up for his lectures, he was funny and genuinely cared about everybody passing, he made Finance a fun class to be apart of. Take him, he's the man

Finance 331 is a hard class and no matter who you take you are going to have to work. Nwadiora is funny and has a good personality and does know what he is doing. If you need extra help he is very willing to take time to help you if you go to him. He goes fast and gets upset if we don't participate but he just wants us to learn. Take him!

yes he's fun in class, younger and hip, jokes around but seemed very unprofessional. Never answers emails, was late alot and theres a lack of communication outside of class. Seemed distracted this semester. Finance is HARD for someone who has no background knowledge so better communication and organization would have been nice. good luck!!

This was the hardest class I've taken, but PARTICIPATION MATTERS. He does his best to make sure you understand the material & he focuses on the stuff you need to know for the exams. Do not rely on the curves to do well b/c the final is hard. Also, don't miss class or you'll be lost & the hw is not the best to study for exams 90% of the time.

Literally my favorite prof I've ever had at TU (and I'm a senior now)! He is incredibly patient, so much so that he hosts extra office hour sessions IN HIS FREE TIME, which at times go over 2 hours. I cannot stress enough that I would be failing this class if it wasn't for him, but instead, I got an A on the first exam. Great sense of humor too!

In my 4 years at Towson, this is the only class I looked forward to. Even compelled me to create this account and make a review. He is one of the only professors I would take again regardless of the subject. Enthusiastic, humorous, and will keep you awake. Understanding and not a harsh grader. Don't take his classes if you're overly sensitive.
