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 Capital Markets and Investment Strategy, an Weekend MBA level elective course at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Here are some nice things my students said about this course.
| 1 | I did not enter this class with a strong interest in investment strategy. But to be honest, this was one of the most thoughtfully put together courses I have taken at Ross. Professor Lei clearly thought carefully about how to tie the lectures, readings, and homework projects together to reinforce the principles learned. Posting videos of each class was especially helpful, as was the in-class trivia. I know I will retain more from this class than almost any other, just due to the reinforcement built into the course design. |
| 2 | Great course. One of the most beneficial courses that I can use in life after school. |
| 3 | I liked the three projects. They were very interesting and applied the concepts well teaching theoretical ways to approach trading. I think Professor Lei is very open to working with students and was always available with questions. |
| 4 | This course has a very interesting topic and great guest lecturers. The guest lecture from Fidelity was phenomenal. Additionally, the professor was very passionate and willing to provide help. |
| 5 | The group projects were extremely helpful in understanding the course material. I also really liked the guest lecturer. |
| 6 | I enjoyed and learnt a lot from the course. |
| 7 | Prof Lei covered a lot of new and interesting material from my perspective, as I had no previous investment or finance experience. A lot of examples are current and the course provides a lot of useful insight on historical aspects as well. I gained a lot from this course. |
| 8 | The course was very well structured. I really appreciated the course website and it was very user friendly. The professor also did a great job of being available to students outside of the class. |
| 9 | Projects were helpful in learning the concepts |
| 10 | The professor was very responsive outside of class |
| 11 | fantastic guest lecture. Interesting course topics. Availability of video lectures to view at convenience was great. |
| 12 | Going through actually calculations, especially the in-class exercises, were very helpful. The guest lectures provided a real-world perspective that was both fascinating and educational. |
| 13 | projects are interesting |
| 14 | Very interesting concepts on trading strategies, but some lack of clarity as to what the "take home message" is from the course. Really enjoyed the guest lectures. |
| 15 | I appreciate all of the mini-tutorials and review sessions to assist in learning |
| 16 | great application of the material in the projects. |
| 17 | Great use of cases to tie in class lectures. |
| 18 | Used FactSet and Excel programs - both of which are used for real world applications. |
| 19 | Great course. Thanks !! |
| 20 | Great introduction to various trading strategies |
| 21 | Significant teamwork was required to complete any and all coursework. |
| 22 | Very interesting course and well taught. More guest lectures welcome. |
