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 2015, I taught Making Financial Decisions, a Non-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 | Professor Lei is one of the best professors I have had at U of M. He is genuinely concerned about students learning while setting high expectation that maximizes learning. |
| 2 | Qin is one of the best professors I’ve ever had. I will never have a professor that is as organized and dedicated to sudents’ learning as Qin. I learned so much from him including both finance principles and the real world application of finance. |
| 3 | I really loved this class even though it was so challenging for me. I learned a lot about how to study and really appreciated the material despite it’s difficulty. Moreover the professor really wants the best for his students and will make every effort to help them. |
| 4 | Qin has been one of my favorite professors here so far. |
| 5 | Most organized professor I have ever had. He wanted his students to be successful in his course, which is vastly different from many other professors |
| 6 | Professor Lei was dedicated to his teaching and to his students. He was always attempting to get feedback on ways to improve the course and offering additional resources to students who were struggling. I liked having the trivia question section of the course as I thought it helped students stay engaged during lecture. I also found that the lectures in which professor Lei walked through practice problems were the most interesting and helpful. |

| 20 | Professor Lei is very educated and displayed passion when teaching. It was comfortable and personally uplifting knowing that he cared about our success. |
| 21 | Professor Lei was always well prepared, he always finished his lectures in a timely fashion and did not rush and made his thoughts and notes very clear.

Also the practice hws, trivia questions and practice exams were very good to practice for the exams. Overall I really loved the course. |
| 22 | Qin structured the course very nice and laid out expectations very clearly at the start. The material was always well taught and there were ample opportunities for clarification. I liked the material in general. |
| 23 | There are many different materials that really helped us to be successful in this course. I also really liked the structure of this class which is very well organized. The instructor also explained the material really well. |

| 32 | The material the professor provided was all relevant and useful and the professor made an effort to be there for the students and provide any help in their learning. |
| 33 | It was a great class! The professor was very committed and the textbook and lectures complemented each other. It was easy to see that the class had been designed carefully |
| 34 | Everything was great in this course! I could not have asked for a better professor and everything that was provided by the professor was very helpful! |
| 35 | Exams are fair, lectures are clear, resources are abundant and instructor was willing to go way out of his way to hep students. |
| 36 | I like how Professor Lei provided so many resources. Although it’s overwhelming at times, he really tries to make sure that we are given an ample amount of relevant information and applicable articles of what we are learning about in class. Furthermore, having the homework solutions available is a huge help in doing the homework because it clears up areas that I am confused on, and then I can go back and redo the questions I did not understand. Professor Lei also does a great job communicating with the students and adjusting to our comments/suggestions throughout the course of the semester. |

| 40 | The math and how to use the calculator was explained well. The online textbook and homework tool was great. The online practice exams were also great, though I wish there were more challenging problems in them |
| 41 | The online connect website offers great follow up material for the lectures and the questions test all aspects of the concepts. |
| 42 | The professor was one of the most committed professors I have ever had. Even though sometimes he spoke too fast to cover the material and I lost track of the topic, he always made himself available to answer question. The course evaluations during the semester were very useful as the professor could tailor the class according to its needs. |
| 43 | There were many available resources |
| 44 | I think the course is well structured. |
| 45 | I think the professor really listened to student’s needs during the evaluation and made the necessary changes. |

| 48 | Improved my general knowledge and learned a good amount |
| 49 | very dedicated professor! |
| 50 | The homework was great allowing us to see if we had the correct answer, but not giving it to us if we were wrong. This made me learn what I was doing wrong, instead of just seeing the answer. |
| 51 | The lecture slides, readings, connect homework, and practice exams were all very helpful. |
| 52 | The course is extremely informative, and provided a holistic introduction to finance. I enjoyed the material we covered, and how Professor Lei delivered the information. |
