from the moment you walk into class everything is about him. given his rich background and expertise, he can't teach even if his life depended on it. there is so much ego in the classroom and there is no other way to describe how futile this class was. definitely do NOT recommend the class!FINA4610 2025-12-24 02:26:33 +0000 UTC
Easily the best professor I've ever had. He's certainly a bit of a hardass but he's got the track record to back it up. Goes above and beyond but can be difficult to please. Keeps you on your toes and your head on a swivel. Be accepting to learn. Overall 10/10 and I wish I could take every business class with him. This man is a wealth of knowledge.INPR2255 2024-07-01 15:23:26 +0000 UTC
There is so much ego in the classroom. It drips with his importance.FINA4610 2025-04-10 00:39:28 +0000 UTC
I would highly recommend taking any class by Naeem! I absolutely loved his entrepreneurship class, and his lectures were engaging and interesting. His class is geared to prepare you for the entrepreneurship process, and it is very well structured. Naeem is an awesome professor who cares a lot about his students - take his class (buy his books)INPR2255 2024-04-22 20:16:47 +0000 UTC
Naeem is incredibly well-versed in VC, and gives great lectures from an insider's perspective into the startup ecosystem in the Bay. Guest speakers were few but good. Take this class with a willingness to participate and soak up everything you learn. Be prepared for cold calls. Group project represents over 50% of class grade.FINA4610 2025-01-13 11:01:43 +0000 UTC
Naeem may have cold caller, but was an amazing professor in the long run. He ingrained the entrepreneurial mindset into our heads.INPR2255 2024-04-22 20:11:37 +0000 UTC
I loved this course and Naeem! He is extremely passionate about entrepreneurship which made the course so much more enjoyable. It was a heavy course load and content heavy but it was so worth it. I learned so much from this course because of it. The group projects were fun and helped you learn the material.INPR2255 2024-03-18 17:09:45 +0000 UTC
