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 Summer 2023, 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 The professors seemed to be excited about the course material, which bolstered my engagement.
2 Good content, easy to understand as long as you kept up with the readings and the excellent reference book by Ivo Welch that was chosen, getting to hearing from Prof Kaul and Prof Lei both was great.
3 The cases were all based in reality, which I appreciated. I thought the professors explained concepts very clearly in class and in the videos. It was very apparent that the professor have a strong understanding and strong interest in the subject, which helped me be more interested as well.
4 The videos were fantastic! I was brand new to this material, and I found the videos accessible and helpful to gain a strong foundation. I loved working with the same break-out team for each of the live sessionsÍž we were able to gain a good cadence together. Peter was a fantastic ISSÍž he was responsive to questions via e-mail and his available office hours were well-timed - I greatly appreciated his guidance.
5 Clear explanations, shorter length videos, very insightful and a perfect workload.
6 I absolutely loved the online lecturing portion of this class. Professor Kaul’s explanations were clear and assisted in learning complex material. Professor Kaul and Peter were very accessible and made this course one of my favorites at Ross.
7 The module videos of Gautam were excellent and all the example problems were very useful.
8 I appreciated the heavy focus on foundational concepts prior to applying with excel. Especially grateful to Peter Clarke for his knowledgeable and friendly assistance and availability for office hours.
9 The way the asynchronous modules were taught was very helpful. The professor focused on pace, repetitions, analogies in order to ensure students learned the material. The course also removed pressure and stress by allowing students to take quizzes multiple times, and use notes.
10 I think the powerpoints provided at each module were very useful when taking notes and the speed of the lectures were perfect.
11 The ISS Peter was phenomenal and I wouldn’t have made it through the class without him
12 Teaching quality, online modules, group work format
13 I really enjoyed the way the course was structured and how the videos were paced out throughout the course (except for M11)
14 Compounding Interest thats my take away from this course.
15 This is such an interesting topic!
16 Each module was clearly explained.
17 I thought the amount of practice questions is extremely helpful and beneficial for learning the material.
18 I liked that we were able to take the quizzes twice, this made quizzes less stressful and I felt I was better able to learn the material and apply it to the problems provided
19 The PRACTICE problems helped solidify understanding of the subject.
20 The subject was interesting at parts.
21 The first half of the course was well placed and the flow of material made sense.
