She's a boss. She does not tolerate any BS and really stresses thoughtful participation at all times. She WILL make it known if she does not appreciate your participation. At the start of the sem, she will try her hardest to get a few ppl to drop to weed out the "weak." She is super well-connected and brings in her cool friends, awesome lectures.inno2301 2026-09-06 20:34:54 +0000 UTC
Long rants and rambles, lots of people like her because she makes them feel special. Just take someone else for innovation.ENTR-2301 2026-04-07 17:18:42 +0000 UTC
She is the best teacher I have ever had in my life. This is the second course I've taken with her. She genuinely wants everyone to succeed - not just in the class but in life. She goes above and beyond with everything she does for her students. You will learn so much from her that you will use the rest of your life. BEST TEACHER EVER.INNO-4504 2025-05-04 14:31:24 +0000 UTC
Loredana is amazing. I learned so much from this course, and it lived up to its name; it was extremely innovative. Each class was a new experience. The course is mostly class discussions, and people are encouraged to participate. She might seem intimidating at first, but she cares so much about her students and would do anything for them.inno2301 2026-04-19 23:34:38 +0000 UTC
Professor Loredana is genuinely an amazing professor. I wish she offered more classes because I would stay in college to take her courses. She doesn't just give busy work, she really wants her students to gain knowledge and come out of the course with new skills. Take her courses if you have the choice.ENTR-2301 2026-04-03 04:56:24 +0000 UTC
Easily the BEST professor I've ever had. If you have the chance to take her class, do it. She creates a welcoming, inclusive class environment where everyone feels comfortable participating, and you genuinely look forward to going to class. You will learn so much from the class. Take her. You won't regret it.INNO-4504 2025-05-04 14:22:10 +0000 UTC
Genuinely the best Professor I have had at Northeastern so far. Her teaching style is unique, engaging, and informative. For the semester long group project we chose groups and created podcasts on industries we were passionate about. This project taught us how to create a business in a new and unconventional way that was fun and educational.inno2301 2025-12-05 18:32:10 +0000 UTC
Best professor I have had at NEU so far, not your typical professor. At first, very intimidating to weed people out. Show up with positive attitude and participate as much as you can. Do the mandatory readings before class and take notes prior. Learned so much from her and she builds a community within the classroom. Will forever remember her!ENTR-2301 2025-12-04 21:11:00 +0000 UTC
Participate, listen, and put in effort. Amazing professor and I would easily take her again. I recommend to anyone who's interested in AI, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Extremely engaging.INNO-4504 2025-05-01 16:18:51 +0000 UTC
She does NOT create a welcoming environment, she will berate you and nit pick what you said. She also boasts a lot about her personal achievements, like how she has a wait list for registration. Yes it gets better as you get to know her, but it doesn't worth it. I was also not the only one who felt this way, she annihilated our entire sectioninno2301 2025-11-16 17:27:14 +0000 UTC
One of the best professors I've ever had. She creates an inclusive, collaborative environment where students feel encouraged to take risks and challenge themselves. Her lectures, assignments, and course content are innovative and engaging. She's deeply passionate about her students as well. I truly can't recommend her enough. Best professor!ENTR-2301 2025-05-05 21:55:30 +0000 UTC
Professor Padurean is an excellent professor who delivers deeply engaging and interesting lectures. She is more than just a teacher; she has the unique ability to captivate her class with interesting and relevant stories that spark interest in almost anyone interested in business and entrepreneurship. Highly recommend.INNO-4504 2025-04-28 17:00:58 +0000 UTC
Professor Padurean creates an environment for students to be collaborative and bounce ideas off one another. Her teaching method is unorthodox, but by far the most consequential I've experienced. I haven't learned more about what it takes to succeed in the world of business in any other class. Professor is an amazing teacher and even better person.inno2301 2025-04-28 21:41:53 +0000 UTC
Great professor and I highly recommend her class. You will learn more from this class than any other professor at Northeastern.ENTR-2301 2025-05-04 19:14:27 +0000 UTC
The best professor. Class is engaging, effective & relevant to real life. She is inspiring, knowledgable & sees students as individuals. Class is interactive, discussion-based, and captivating. Innovative & embraces AI. Impactful for me as a student & person. Always helpful with her class and anything else. If you can take her do not hesitate!INNO-4504 2025-04-28 14:58:30 +0000 UTC
