Backed hard. Good dude.
Great teacher, easy and fun. Might seem a little serious first day, but coolest ever.
Good professor, very helpful.
the class was great and fun.
His class is fun and interesting. His tests are take home it doesn't mean it's easy. his very helpful.
I took Bus 100-101A, it was a Hybrid class. The assignments were clear, related to the topic and his grading system is really fair. Thank goodness his class was not boring as it was a 3 hour class starting at 7:30PM. He is passionate about his lectures as he seems to enjoy what he is teaching. I would definitely take a class with him again :).
Great smart inspiring man
Smart great man highly recomend
Great smart inspiring man! Highly recomend
Excellent Professor
Really cares about his students.
One of the best professors I have had at NVCC. His syllable is very clear and you know what is expected from you from the very first class. Very nice professor and he is there to help you out. Day or night! Take him
Mr Horan is very good,He is the best professor i have taken at NOVA
This is the second class that i take with Prof. Horan. He is really nice, the chapters are very clear and he always clear examples for each chapter. Totally recomended.
Great Instructor very knowledgeable; he has hands on experience of the material he teaches, thus examples are real-life and upto date matters. He is Hilarious and at the same time uses the key terminology in his lectures and makes the lecture very clear to understand. He is open and has the knowledge to answer any questions. IRecommend him to all
He is the best professor in Nova..!
He is very intelligent, awesome and informative.
Professor Horan is an amazing teacher! I highly recommend him for BUS 100 and BUS 200!
He is an amazing teacher! He knows his material and keeps you entertained. You should definitely take him!!
Absolutely awesome instructor, Understanding if there is an issues with grading or something came up. Knows his material very well and does a great job keeping students involved
The best professor I ever had had. Very clear with what he is looking for from students and gives great examples to make material more understandable!!!
A very good class to take. Learned a lot about real life experiences.
Very good instructor. Just a bit tough on grading, be sure to read the syllabus for all the assignment and the format.
I like the way he teach, fully of music, video, which content of examples and theory, relax, but fully of messages. 100% cool!
Awesome and impressive professor. I recommend to all students to take any courses which has this professor as a instructor.
This is the second time I take his class and honestly he is the best business professor at Nova. Take him without hesitation.
Awesome class. Would take another with Prof. Horan.
Great professor and has entertaining and informative lectures. Treats classes like business meetings at the beginning , and lectures go over material while clearly explaining what will be tested. Also, displays videos that backup lecture points. Tests and homework are straight forward, but also case studies that are more open to interpretation
Professor Horan is a great instructor. Very caring and helpful if you talk to him. Do the homework to get the extra credit to help you master the concepts because the exams are challenging. I got a lot of value out of the course, especially studying from the Assignments Mindtap. However, If you put in the effort you will do well.
Professor Horan wants the students to engaged in class and understand the chapter he is teaching. I like the lay out he had for class; 3 exams, homework, attendance (mandatory), and 1 Case study. If you ask him for help he will guide you. If I had to take another Business class I would take it with him.
Great Prof! His Organizational behavior class was easy breezy. We had homework through MindTap for 16 chapters, 3 exams and 1 case study. He is an easy grader, and does not give extra credit (so keep up). He has a great sense of humor and many stories to relate to the curriculum to keep the students engaged. I'll be taking another class with him.
Professor Horan was very clear of what he expected from students, grading criterias were precise. You could miss his class and still pass but he gave useful information about the exams so was definitely helpful to attend sessions. Made class very efficient with activities, lectures and jokes every now and then. I definitely recommend him!
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!
What do you get when you combine a passion for a subject with amazing humor and a great sense for business? Well Professor Horan of course. A man who is always accessible by text even on his busiest days at the DOT. Take professor Horan and for the first time in your life you will actually want to show up to class! Seriously, he's one of the best.
He is great professor and let students participate in class, but some students are taking advantage and use their " air time " even if they do not have the knowledge . It slows the group progress and it is annoying.
A great Professor. I strongly recommend him to everyone
Great teacher, enjoy coming to class. He makes sure you know what is important for exams. If you don't go to class, you will miss out.
Valuable/Inspirational professor, highly recommend for students to take his courses.
Prof. Chuck is a true professional with a lifetime of knowledge and experiences that he passes along to all of his students. There are very few dedicated adjuncts like him nowadays....
For those who are really busy but need to take Business Management, this is a great professor to take it with (I took the 8 weeks class, very feasible). Focuses on the important parts of the material, shares fun stories that relate to the class, and no group projects(thank goodness!). I would take his class again :)
Professor Horan is great! His lectures are not boring, he clearly knows a lot about business, he gives a lot of real life examples and if you really pay attention to his class, the tests will not be a problem.
I just want to say this is the best professor I've ever taken in NoVa. His class is always very interesting even thought it's a night class. He knows what he's talking about, tells many stories that you will learn a lots from it. I definitely recommend you guys to take his class. Wonderful professor.
Professor Horan is one of the best professors I've had up to date. His expectations are very clear and reasonable. I was worried about taking another class after I graduated from VCU in 2016, but he proved to be one of the best professors I've had at NVCC. I'm very glad I chose his class in order to receive my certification.
Mr Charles Horan is such an amazing teacher, he makes learning fun. He uses his own life experiences in his teaching which is very helpful. He clearly tells you what you need to know to pass his class. He is very organized, on time and knows his stuff. He is very tech savvy so you can reach him on twitter, email, cell etc. Take his class!
Dr. Horan is one the best professors I've had at NVCC. He has a good sense of humor and often tells life stories that you can learn from and laugh at the same time. Fair in grading, and lot's of useful information will be passed out in class. He can be reached out easily whether by email, twitter or even text! Highly recommend BUS 100 with him.
He knows his subject very well and cares about his students. He wants you to succeed. There is a lot of homework in the 8 week course, but the class is worth it. It was the best Business class Ive had so far. I highly recommend this professor you will learn a lot.
He has an excellent teaching method, has lots of experience in the business field, he gives clear practical examples for the lessons and very well organized. GREAT professor to have and I would take other classes with him without thinking.
He is friendly and will help you anytime you needed.
first rule: if you want something ask for it. He is very understanding teacher.
He is one of the best professors I have had in the last two years. He has a lot of experience and gives practical examples of what he is teaching. He is a very good communicator, which is very important for any professor or teacher.
Professor Horan is really good at what he does. He is always on time and he is ready to bring the book into life. By that, I mean that he takes topics from the book and he explains them in real life events.
Very friendly and enjoyable class ever. Very participatory.
Prof. Horan is a true professional. Class rules are based off business principles, in that you must attend all classes for attendance credit just like going to work to receive work credit. Homework must be done on time for full credit. He brings his expertise and real-world knowledge as a small business owner with many insightful stories. Fun class
He is one of the best professors I have . He is a very good communicator, which is very important for any professor or teacher.
Professor Horan is a great and knowledgeable professor. There is a lot of fun and discussion in class. Take him, if you want to earn knowledge about business and you won't regret.
He is a great a professor!
Would take other courses from him.
Professor Horan does a great job of being clear what will be on each exam, he goes over all the material. He gives real life current examples from what we discuss in the book to the class. He obviously enjoys teaching, which is awesome.
Best professor! His lectures are long, but he keeps you entertained. Don't sit in the last row unless you actually read the chapters. His exams are pretty easy since he gives a review. The case studies and final project are pretty easy, but he doesn't explain how to do it since he expects us to think like a boss. Definitely recommend
Best Professor . Very funny and humble. Nice to work with. Loved his class and way of teaching.
Best summer class ever
Instructor Horan was the best I've ever taken so far. Very humble person and takes his class seriously. learnt a lot despite the short period of time.
An amazing teacher has owned multiple businesses in the past, so he really knows what he is teaching. Has an answer for any business question you can think of. You can text at any time and he will reply ASAP. Every teacher should learn how to teach from him and every business student should learn how to do business from him.
Amazing professor i had ever seen in Northern Virginia all Campuses. He is very inspirational instructor and share a real life business related experience with students during the lecturing. He is currently senior staff member of U.D DoT. All assignments are based on the real life businesses and free to ask anytime out of class through text msg.
I didn't know what to expect when entering the class since I haven't taken any business class while in college but I was not disappointed because Mr. Horan is a very good professor. The class was super easy and straightforward. There is a lot of homework though but if you how to manage your time well, it is doable. I learned a lot from him.
Amazing Professor, respectful, funny, and always available for his students, Relates to his own personal experience. Take him! will never regret it.
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.
I took this class for BUS 280 online. This was done really well, the professor set clear outlines for the entirety of the semester. Do the homework, go to class and you'll pass. I enjoyed this class and will look to see if he is teaching another class I'd need and take it.
Prof. Horan not only taught in an easy to understand manner but clearly outlined the expectations to receive an A+. Prof. Horan always sprinkles real life scenarios when teaching which allows for better memorization. He also has a sense of humor and is extremely flexible so long as you inform him of your issues in time. To pass you must do your hw.
He was amazing! I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. We had class over Zoom due to COVID-19, but he made things very clear. He gives you study guides for the tests and he's easy to talk to after class. As long as you do the homework and two papers about news articles, you should be good :-)
He is a great professor! Definitely take him!

Professor Horan is amazing. His Zoom class is very well-structured and the lecture is so interesting. Attendance is mandatory, but it's enjoyable, you will enjoy class until the last minute. Overall, he's so far the best professor in Nova, take him if you want peace of mind while pursuing your degree.

Professor Horan has a great class and its an easy A. Just do the homework and go to class
Teacher is simple and straight forward, the Homework given is based on the readings on the text book.
Takes the time to help you with assignmnts prior to turning it in.
He has an excellent teaching method, has lots of experience in the business field, he gives clear practical examples for the lessons and very well organized.
Best Professor ever. I took BUS280 and it was an easy class to follow. He does an awesome job with the material and explains it very well. I learned a lot. Quizzes and test are easy if you open a book and read the material. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs to take business class. 10 out of 10
Professor is very nice. Not a lot of homework. Recommend to take him. Definitely an easy A as long as you do your homework and submit on time.
Love this class, he really knows what he is talking about.
Professor H, is great and is always there to answer questions. He tries his best to review essays given to him if they are sent in early so, you can edit and then grades the edited paper. You should expect to talk to your classmates in class. the textbook is available online for cheap. also his 2 tests count for the final so study for them.
Professor Horan is a lovely man. He really cares about his students and wants to make sure everyone passes his class. His tests are easy if you attend class and pay attention to the test review. His homework is annoying because you only have one attempt on MyLab and at times can be hard. Love his approach to online classes, take him if you can!
He is really kind and cares about his student. If I can take his class again I will definitely take his class again!
I enjoyed my BUS280 class with Professor Horan. His knowledge and experience really help bring the text full circle. I would DEFINITELY recommend taking any of his classes. Excellent!!
Awesome professor and would love to have him in a future class.
He is so nice, helpful, and understandable.
Excellent professor who helps provide real-world application to class content. Flexible with work schedules. Easily accessible out of class. Promotes, encourages, and facilitates interesting discussion. Class was homework heavy compared to previous classes, however the homework reinforced what was learned in class - helped me get better test grades
I really enjoyed this class. Prof. Horan is knowledgeable and has lots of experience in the field. If you do the assignments you won't find a problem passing this class. I will take his other classes
Professor Horan is very good, he makes everything easy and not complicated. just do the homework, attend the meetings, and do good on the exams and you will get an A or at least B
I took Bus 100 with professor Horan online and he is one of the nicest teachers i've ever had. He is super chill and gives a very good amount of time to finish assignments. Just show up to class and do your work, I recommend him 10/10!
Great class and great professor! I recommend taking him you wont regret it.
Professor Horan was absolutely amazing. I am taking him for this summer session, and he truly makes class interesting. He gives an ample amount of time for assignments! 10/10 recommend!
Prof Charles is totally chill. He explains stuff very well and is an easy grader. If you pay attention in class and turn in your homework on time, you're most likely getting yourself an A.
Professor Charles is an excellent teacher. Take him you won't regret.
Great Professor for BUS 280. He wants all his students to pass and will make sure help you become successful. Relates lectures to real life situations which helps a lot! The assignments definitely help with learning the material! Overall great professor and class!! 10/10
He is a nice professor and trying to help all students to understand and pass the class with high grades.
He's very good and easy to get an A. Take him!
He is a good professor. He responds to your emails quickly. This is an awesome course; very straightforward if you keep up with the assignments. Getting A easily.
Easy A if you show up to class and do the work. All the work is in the electronic textbook (hw, quizzes, warm-ups) etc. The exams are usually on the days of when a certain # of chapters of HW is due. Also 2 articles throughout the sem. Take this professor if you are willing to do work independently based on your schedule.
Overall a great prof enjoyed that class
Professor Horan is a great professor. Do you homework and you will pass. It would be really hard to not get a good grade with how great of a structure he has for his class.
Prof Horan is a great professor. You can tell that he actually knows what he's talking about and that he cares about the subject. He's also funny and really laid back. Read and do the assignments and you're sure to pass!
Professor Horan is a great professor. Do you homework and you will pass. It would be really hard to not get a good grade with how great of a structure he has for his class. He always shares a real life experience related to both national and international business and he has a productive lecturing method and easy to catch up.
Professor Horan is a great professor. In my opinion there was a lot of homework but they are fairly easy, he gives great feedback on assignments and he cares.
Great Professor, he is straight to the point. Read and take notes power points are useful everything he talks about is on exam. Great sense of humor, easy going but do your work come to class and great business information and class.
Professor Horan really wants students to succeed. He gives you everything you need to do well, its just up to you to do it. Love his lectures; stays in the topic and explains things thoroughly. He is also very funny and pretty easy to talk to.
Professor Horan was very straightforward in his instructions and expectations. After being in the professional world for 20 years and coming back to school, the things he emphasized for a business class mimicked what you can expect in the real world.
Professor is awesome, very knowledgeable. Made lectures very interesting and relevant. He also was very understanding and responsive -- always answered emails/texts quickly. HW can seem overwhelming at first, but isn't too bad at all.

Professor Horan is a great professor, his class is really chill and laid back. He also offers extra credit opportunities, you should definitely take him!
Great Professor, easy class.
The Professor provided all the materials that the student need to pass this class and presented the work on point.
Professor Charles Horan is a great professor for BUS 100. He gaves good lectures and provide the material needed to pass the class. Be carfeul about missing the assigmnet because that would be a problem, otherwise it is a very good class and professor is also a good solid choice.
Took the 6 week online lecture class. Class was easy to understand, teacher will stop and explain things differently, if you don't understand it the first time around. All assignments were through Mcgraw. Assignments are easy to complete as long as you do them on time and tests are not much different that whats gone over in class and the book.
Great professor. Fairly easy grader as long as you put some effort into the answer. Discussion posts aren't too difficult. He responds quickly to emails.
Great professor! Very relaxed class. lectures match with the textbook which matches the material on the exams. No surprises. The hw is done by McGraw hill and it is a fantastic way to learn. Way better than just book reading, you will actually learn the material.
great professor
he is perfect
Amazing professor. Makes the topics accessible and genuinely wants you to pass. As long as you attend the class and do the homework it's a easy pass
He is an amazing professor, very chill and understanding. Lectures were clear and he also shows great videos. We had two papers, 2 open note exams, and connect assignments. You'll def pass if you go to classes and do the assignments.
Amazing professor!!! Would 100% take again. Although attendance is not mandatory, participation and attendance count towards your grade but his lectures are intriguing for the most part. Course material and textbook are easy to follow so as long as you do assignments on time you'll be fine.
Professor was amazing and very helpful
Way too much homework...get ready to spend hours every week.
Charles Horan is extremely laid-back and very fair when its comes to grading. I took this class as a three hour block once a week and it really flys by. Only down side is you'll be doing quite a bit of bookwork. Looking at 120-160 question for each chapter, often two chapters a week. It's all multiple choice, just don't get behind!!!
Amazing professor
Enjoyed the lectures given.
I recommend this professor because he is very organized with the course materials and is very understanding. This isn't a hard class if you do what you're supposed to do. 10/10.
He delivers heavy content pretty well.
I took BUS100 course in seven weeks. The material is a lot but the professor was so helpful and make every thing easy.
Professor Horan is the best, we had a fast paste class and we got to cover the whole entire book.That's amazing! But that's not all we actually learned the concept. Just make sure you pay attention and take notes. His class assignments are easy to follow. We tested after every few chapters, but before that we have exam reviews which help very much.
His style is teaching great to understanding the material.
He knows what he's doing in this class. If you have any issues with any of the assignments, you can text him. YES TEXT HIM.
Honestly, I wish I had taken a longer class with Chuck as the instructor. I 100% recommend taking him as your instructor for business. He's great, gives good feedback, and makes you read a lot, but the class lectures cover much of the reading material.
The class I took was an accelerated class, which was a little more difficult for me, but he knew what he was teaching the test makes you learn more knowledge, but if you do your homework and pay attention and class you will be good!
This professor is organized, knowledgeable, and fair.
I had this class once a week for 3 hours, the best part of this class is the professor. He is the best college professor I had so far. There is homework every week, no quizzes, and only two exam.
10/10 would take again
He was great Professor. The class does include a lot of reading. The class is manageable but you have to put in the effort.
Professor Horan is passionate about the subject matter, and it shows in his lectures. He has a knack for explaining complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand, making the learning process enjoyable. I highly recommend Professor Horan's course to any student interested. His dedication to teaching makes him an exceptional educator.
The best!
One the most clear grad
professor horan is the best!! made business 280 understandable and easy!
Professor Horan cares about his students and explains homework assignments and exams clearly.
10/10
Great professor, the book was website access for those curious. Very simple and straight forward.. you won't regret this professor
Great professor - organized, knowledgeable, and fair. The workload is manageable if you stay on top of assignments. Unstuck ai was a huge help with study prep.
