Very hard but great teacher. Don't take unless you need to. You can't convince this guy you are right so don't try. Every quiz/test is verbatim. Try sucking up if you have to.

Comment:

Tough but good teacher. Set in his philosophy, one of the more credible professors at Central. Definitions are word-for-word on tests. Debates are easy as long as you're a decent public speaker. I'd suggest that only Comm majors take his classes.

Comment:

Awful teacher. He makes you take notes and tells you "write this down" but then changes the definition. You could write down everything he says, put it on a test and still fail. He makes up parts of questions that aren't stated on paper. Don't use any synonyms, he only accepts the exact definitions of terms. He doesn't like when you give examples.

Comment:

If you're an honors student considering taking a course with Moemeka, DON'T. The guidelines for his essays are unclear and he grades unfairly. If you must take a course with him, praise Nigeria & African culture in general-that's the one key to success. My whole class hated him and I'm surprised he's still teaching after the evals he got from us!

Comment:

the worst professor i have ever had. doesn't help students. doesn't know how to teach the material. expects you to remember word for word what he says on tests. you won't pass if you don't say exactly what he said. can barely understand him. just an awful experience, don't take him!

Comment:

this class is an exercise in memorization. the key to acing his class is just to memorize everything, just tell him exactly what he told you. he seems mean but he isnt, he can be a little harsh though. just ignore it and memorize!!

Comment:

Pretentious and close minded professor who likes to yell "Hello" at students if they dont immediately raise hands for questions he asks. His lectures are comparable to Dental Surgery drone on and on and his accent is obnoxious just like him

Comment:

He seems hard, but he's just very particular about answers. If you're not good at memorization, DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS. You really need to be able to remember the definitions clearly. He's very clear about the definitions and if you ask him to redefine or explain something he always does. I really enjoyed his class, but you need to do the leg work.

hard to get along with but an absolute wealth of knowledge! If you can figure out this guy not only will you learn, but you will enjoy what you are learning. If you are not clear with something spend some time with him alone during office hours, you will otherwise be left behind. But a very good professor.

Comment:

Ugh. He is terrible. He tries to call on people when he asks questions but he never bothers to learn your name. Everything has to be memorized word for word. I worked my butt off and I think I'm getting an A, but it's work. EVERYTHING has to be verbatim. Don't take him.

Comment:

He's from Nigeria, that's important... He has a great personality (although lost on many people), but he makes you memorize what he says on one day but doesn't teach from notes, so when he asks you to recite what he said, you're wrong. He really means to be teaching his 400 level class

Comment:

Hard to understand his Nigerian accent. Nice guy, but doesn't teach well at ALL. Sets dates that he doesnt follow, and continuously asks more and more of group projects when you FINALLY think you are done. Takes attendence like its his job. Has some health probs so wont be teaching too much longer.

I took his Com230, having an A-. Despite that, I was still surprised how could a professor make mass media, an interesting-sounding subject, boring to DEATH.
