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 B 2013, I taught Markets and Trading, an MBA level elective course at Southern Methodist University Cox School of Business. Here are some nice things my students said about this course.

1 Dr. Lei continues to be one of my favorite professors as this is the third class I have taken with him simply b/c I knew he would make it worthwhile: he didn’t disappoint. I really enjoy his passion that he displays for the classes he teaches most. It comes through with his lesson plans and course design. I really appreciate his multiple ways of testing the students knowledge of the material, and I appreciate doing real-time simulations for practice of the techniques and materials we learn in class.
2 A great instructor. well planned course material, great detailed syllabus, provided ahead of course start, timely completion of grading, each class was very well planned, well communicated and time management was great too.
3 Dr. Lei is a very dedicated professor, as evidenced by his class preparation (his course website is very impressive and could serve as a model for other professors), willingness to accept feedback on things that work and do not work and his accessibility. He knows the subject matter quite well and made this an interesting class. I would definitely take another Finance class taught by him.
4 Excellent set up of the course and made the interactive learning very interesting.
5 Obviously the use of the web site is very professional, unique and greatly appreciated.
6 This is my 3rd class with Professor Lei. He has been one of my favorite professors going through the MBA program. It is easy to tell he has a genuine interest in making sure his students are learning the subject. He goes above and beyond to help out students and to discuss topics. It has been a joy to have Professor Lei while at SMU. Keeping doing what you are doing Professor Lei.
7 Very organized. I enjoyed the format of the class - in class trivia, trading competitions each week, virtual OX accounts. This has been my favorite class at SMU. I found the material interesting and the application of concepts extremely practical, as well as fun to practice.
8 Great class! The professor was well organized and a great lecturer. I really enjoyed the class.
9 Was very organized and the course was well constructed. He had his own website and kept it up to date making the class progress easy to follow.
10 Not teaching out of a textbook and using real time simulations is one of the better MBA experiences.
11 I really liked the course website and how easy it was to find relevant information about the course.
12 1. perfect prof. 2. great lecture
