Student Comments

Many students have provided very encouraging comments at the end-of-term evaluations, and here is a collection of comments. Listed below are student comments for just one course.

In Spring 2024, I taught Financial Management and Policy, an OMBA level core course at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Here are some nice things my students said about this course.

1 Both professor Kaul and professor Lei seem every knowledgable. I appreciate the real-world wisdom and and critical thinking that they brought to this class.
2 The group breakouts during the live sessions were great for fostering discussion and reinforcing learnings from the discussion.
3 Asynchronous modules are great!! Prof. Gautam explains the concepts very well.
4 Asynchronous material is easy to understand and well paced
5 The modules provided were very interesting and easy to approach. I appreciated that most of the videos were broken into smaller chunks.
6 great teacher and ISS, can always answer my question clearly and fast.
7 This a well structured course with good support staff. This is a course that I know the goal is to help students learn. I can tell that you all really care.
8 Gautam’s passion for finance is evident.
9 The ISS was fantastic! Peter was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of summarizing the concepts from the videos. He came prepared to each office hour session. Having a great ISS + teacher combo really helps me understand the subject material more. I have taken courses where the ISS was not as helpful, and that impacted my ability to deeply learn the subject material! Thank you all for a great course.
10 The breakdown of the material in modules and application of course concepts in the live classes via the cases were extremely useful and did a great job of illustrating how the material should be used. I also think the questions use and layout of the course allow a student to not get lost in an abstract environment where one isn’t able to connect the dots or not understand what is expected of them.
11 Dr. Gautam is videos are outstanding.
12 Very clear expectations upfront
13 Detailed videos explaining formulas and applicability of the content in the real world. Provided material (readings, formulas, templates, and practice quizzes). Session hours with the ISS.
14 Covers a wide range of financial topics. Applicable at both the project and enterprise level.
15 The first half of the course was very informational and I think all people should receive that kind of financial literacy early in their lives. The second half of the class was more confusing and more unclear of what was expected of me.
16 I took physical notes on printouts of the slides for each module that Gautam went through- I really loved this approach because it requires/encourages active learning and participation.
17 very organized and easy to work through
18 Gaining good knowledge of management of financial aspects of business.
