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 B 2015, I taught Capital Markets and Investment Strategy, an 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 | Professor Lei’s course website is second to none. Great setup that I feel should be copied to other courses at Ross. The lecture videotapes were also very helpful. I’m a part-time MBA and sometimes I have to stay late at work. This is because I work in a 24/7 very fast paced Oil Refining operations environment. The lecture videos were very helpful for me this semester, as I had to miss class a few times. I feel all courses at Ross should be videotaped for this reason. |
| 2 | Best Professor I’ve ever met |
| 3 | The topics covered in lectures provided a nice overview of the markets and projects outside of class really highlighted the course concepts well. Textbook readings were very informative and supplemented well by other articles and academic papers. Projects are fantastic opportunities to apply concepts hands-on and take the investor/traders perspective in decision making. The subscription to FactSet is very useful and encourages students to continue following markets even after class is over. |
| 4 | This is the second time I’ve had Professor Lei. He is one of the top professors at Ross in my opinion. Very thorough approach to preparing for class through his intricate course website design. Bravo Professor Lei and keep doing what you’re doing !! |
| 5 | I very much enjoyed this course. I have a long history in the investment industry and I learned many new topics in this course, such as the Total Asset Growth Anomaly, which I had not previously been aware of. I also really enjoyed the instructor and how he provided a lot of historical data for different investments. Overall, I think this was a great class. |
| 6 | History and theory of trading strategies were clear and well presented |
| 7 | Very well organized from website to handouts to material made available to class presentation. Guest speakers were great and slides presented were fairly easy to follow along. |
| 8 | course website very clear, very helpful. Professor always responded to emails very quickly, usually within minutes. The 4 projects are designed appropriately and have clear instructions. |
| 9 | I think the projects were good exercises in practicing what was learned in class. I also enjoyed the guest lecturers, it was interesting to hear about every day practical applications of the theories and methodologies we were learning about in class. |
| 10 | Professor’s explanations were clear, and an adequate amount of examples were given in class. |
| 11 | The projects really helped bring into focus the requirements of the trading strategies |
| 12 | Aroused considerable interest in investment strategies for me |
| 13 | I think the course covered a good range of strategies and various perspective of portfolio management. |
| 14 | I loved the course .Thank you very much professor for the recordings that helped when I missed a class due to illness |
| 15 | I thought the projects were useful action-learning opportunities to reinforce important course concepts. |
| 16 | I enjoyed the topics and material. |
| 17 | The instructor was well prepared and made available plenty of time outside of class. |
| 18 | I think a quantitative approach is more appropriate for this course. The historical part can be left in the reading and I think in the class, more practical examples are better. Projects are excellent, practical and useful. The lecture content sometimes get people bored because it involves much too text and history. Overall, it is an excellent course and Prof LEI is very instructive and vivid in the class, definitely the best professor I’ve met so far. |
| 19 | The guest speakers add value to the class |
| 20 | Interesting lectures |
| 21 | The topics and concepts were interesting. |
| 22 | Generally a quality class and an outstanding professor. |
| 23 | Overall, great class and great professor. |
| 24 | Overall, I love the class. Qin is an energetic professor and is clearly passionate about the financial markets and teaching students. I think he has the foundations of a great course and with a few modifications, could become one of the more sought after courses at Ross. The course offers a great overview of the financial markets and should be taken by all Ross MBAs who are not well versed in investments or capital markets. |
