The nicest and most down-to-earth professor I have had so far at Northeastern. Knows his stuff and he tells jokes/stories to make things more interesting. He's a funny guy.FINA2201 2011-04-07 00:39:24 +0000 UTC
Prof. Meador is an excellent teacher. He goes over all relevant material in class and is extremely knowledgable. The class is relatively difficult but with a lot of studying you can get a good grade. Going to class everyday was a pleasure because he was always cracking jokes and trying to entertain the class. Definitely take him if you can!!FIN2201 2009-12-19 17:51:11 +0000 UTC
Great teacher, extremely knowledgable and funny.FINU201 2009-03-30 11:38:13 +0000 UTC
Very good guy, likes to help his stuents and will do what it takes to make sure you do well. Highly recomended, the material is tough but its finance. Take the class with him!FIN201 2006-10-29 17:29:30 +0000 UTC
Great professor. Very nice and easy to talk to. Work load is reasonable. Recommended.FING222 2005-09-16 11:18:37 +0000 UTC
Good guy, seems like he cares about teaching but he assumes your a finance whiz and is not effective in "teaching" the material. Hard class rely on TAs to do well if your confused.201 2005-01-10 12:56:25 +0000 UTC
Tough Class, tough prof, but you learn a lot. Good predisposition toward helping students; you must do the assignments to do well on exams!! Be on time to be on his good graces!!MGTU501 2004-12-07 21:57:16 +0000 UTC
He is so awesome. His midterms are so easy. He has slides to clarify the material, and he posts everything to blackboard. He gives a review sheet that is helpful. DON'T COME LATE to his class or he will hate you forever. Nice guy, made finance much easier.FINA2201 2011-03-25 00:42:17 +0000 UTC
Very funny, nice, caring guy. Wants his students to do well and allows a full sheet of notes for test. Test's aren't bad, but the material is finance, so can be difficult. Tells stories all the time, and lets out of class early. i would definitely recommend.FINU201 2008-12-19 18:24:14 +0000 UTC
Probably the best teacher I've had at Northeastern. The material isn't easy though, but if you aren't lazy and make sure to work through the practice problems, it's not too bad. Meador is very clear, and going to class'll help you learn the concepts.FIN201 2006-04-11 14:57:50 +0000 UTC
He is a great teacher and has a lot of knowledge about finance. He hates it when students walk in late and can be rude at times. Overall, he taught me a lot.FINA2201 2010-08-04 12:55:48 +0000 UTC
SOLID TEACHER!!! Relies on TA help for tutoring too much, but his inclass lectures are effective and not too boring (it is finance afterall). Plus, he's occasionally funny and homework assignments are tough, but not impossibleFINU201 2004-12-02 13:02:35 +0000 UTC
Prof. Meador is a smart smart man. Big and cheerful, will make you laugh with his light hearted humor. He is a good teacher but sometimes I feel he is too smart for his own good, and he can leave the class scratching their heads..Attendance is not compulsory, but, DON'T COME LATE TO CLASS. His Aplia choices are Tough!FINA2201 2009-12-04 10:53:18 +0000 UTC
Professor Meador is a great professor. He may be a little intimidating on the beginning but he does warm up to the class. The class is pretty easy as long as you read the text and follow class. He will stop to answer any questions and makes himself very available for office hours and review sessions. Only negative is the ApliaFINA2201 2009-11-19 13:01:48 +0000 UTC
