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 Fall 2002, I taught Financial Management, a BBA level core course at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Here are some nice things my students said about this course.

1 Qin was by far the best professor I had at this university. Despite having class at 8:30, he was always prepared & enthusiastic about lessons. It was obvious he really cared about how each one of us did in the course, which is rare for an instructor at this university. Qin gets 2 thumbs up!
2 Instructor was extremely helpful & very dedicated to making sure the students learned.
3 The teacher went out of his way to make sure everyone understands the material. He made many sacrifices for the students.
4 Qin was a nice guy. Qin enjoys teaching more than my professor I’ve had at UofM. I learned a lot. I enjoyed the course. Qin did a great job of making himself available. He obviously is outstanding at finance. I think that this made some parts of his lectures go over people’s heads.
5 Lei did all he could to try and meet students’ needs, especially outside of class. He did a great job of making himself available. Everyone felt very comfortable going to him for questions. Whenever I emailed him a question, he always got back to me & took time to answer questions. Great job, Lei.
6 Qin is one of the best instructors I’ve had through high school and college. Provided great, original supplemental material and always available.
7 Qin was one of the most caring & responsive teachers I have had at this university. He was always willing to help offering endless hours. He was completely committed to helping us learn.
8 Qin was a very good teacher. He seemed very enthusiastic about teaching us and did all he could do to facilitate the learning process. He spent more time in his office hours for us than any other teacher of mine has.
9 The teacher is very passionate about finance & teaching. This is displayed by his enthusiasm when teaching in class & during office hours. He is well prepared for the class, much more well prepared than other instructors I’ve had. Brilliant teaching!
10 The instructor set much time outside the course to help us. I learned a lot about finance, the market, and all other matters related to the course. The course pushed me because of the competitiveness of it to know the material as best as I could. I could also apply what I learned to real life actions.
11 Lei was good instructor. He cared for us and that’s basically all you can ask for in a teacher. That they be able to emphasize wish what we go through as BBA’s. I learned a lot in this course which I am proud of, but the course should not be designed in the way to instill a good deal of competitiveness within students. It needs a more laid back approach. I had fun though.
12 Teacher was always willing and able to meet with students. Class was well structured.
13 Qin, thank you for caring about your students. It was through your excitement and passion for the material that motivated me to excel in the course. I look forward to keeping in touch with you.
14 Professor Lei did an extraordinary job making himself available for additional help.
15 Qin made himself very available for us to get help. Spent many hours preparing us.
16 I enjoyed the course very much & I really learned a lot. You were very responsive to your students, which I really appreciated, helped us all along the way.
17 The course was very exciting and well organized. More than enough time was dedicated to assisting the class in learning the material.
18 The material wasn’t always easy to understand but you explained it well, especially during office hours. Thanks for being so available outside of class and persisting until we understood the material, as long as we sought for help. You are a very effective teacher.
19 Thanks for a great intro to finance and good luck with your dissertation!
20 Instructor was very well prepared & highly knowledgeable in the subject. He also went out of his way to provide all the help he could give. Overall, this course was excellent and Lei should be a model for other instructors in the school.
21 I really enjoyed your teaching, Lei. I hope for the best in your future teaching career!
22 Good luck in the future. You will be a great professor.
23 The instructor’s overall approach and devotion to the subject matter, as well as class, gave me and others I think a desire to do well in the class. Extra office hours provided tons of financial knowledge conveyed beyond the classroom. The instructor was more than an instructor, he was my friend, mentor, and a true teacher. His first semester teaching display excellence and true devotion beyond professors that have taught for more than 10 years here.
24 Best course ever taken in my life. One of the best teacher I have ever seen. Have students desired to continue studying finance because of Qin.
25 Qin, you are the Man. No words can be conveyed to show the thanks and appreciation. Have a good summer and good luck of your future endeavors. I look forward to seeing you in the future as a mentor and friend. Much luck.
26 The quizzes were helpful as they forced me to go over concepts and to always be ready for a possible quiz. Qin provided a great amount of time outside of the classroom for students to meet with him. Also, the review sessions he held for exams were extremely helpful.
27 Thank you for having so many review sessions, study groups, & office hours. I wish other teachers would do this more often.
28 I think you are an excellent teacher. I truly appreciate all the time you put into this class & the time you allotted for out of class help. I wish you all the best in the future.
29 The professor really made us – the students – his life. He spent a lot of time and effort in teaching this class, and was very very helpful.
30 Thank you Professor Lei. You were an excellent teacher and I loved this class.
31 The instructor was concerned about whether or not students were learning material.
32 The instructor was very helpful and was willing to meet outside of class often. He cared about the students and made efforts to help them understanding material. Qin was a great instructor.
33 Instructor was phenomenal. He was extremely prepared and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to always be there to help.
34 I thoroughly enjoyed Finance 300 taught by Qin Lei. His enthusiasm and concern for his students made the course all the more enjoyable and interesting. It is a pity that he is not going to teach again in the near future.
35 A great course and outstanding professor.
36 GO QIN!
37 Everything! I really appreciate the time/energy that Qin so selflessly sacrificed in order for us to gain a better understanding of the materials. He presented the materials in a clear & often creative manner, and was always so open to suggestions/criticism.
38 Qin is the best professor ever! CAPM rules!
