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 Winter A 2015, I taught Options and Futures in Corporate Decision Making, 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 | Prof. Lei is a truly sensational instructor. He is immensely knowledgeable, creates an incredibly good feeling / atmosphere in the classroom, was always willing to meet with students even during the weekends to assist with questions, and I thus consider him a huge asset for the Ross Business School. Overall, Prof. Lei is perhaps the best instructor I have ever come across in my academic life. In addition, I will be recommending this course for every student in my program. |
| 2 | Professor Lei was very well prepared for every class, and his passion for teaching and genuine interest in the course topic really showed to me. I also loved a good combination of lectures and hands-on in-class exercises. The use of trivia questions also motivated me to engage in classes and work diligently throughout the course. |
| 3 | Professor Lei is a very skilled professor who is able to understand the broad student’s expectations. |
| 4 | Great job on all counts, we were lucky to have you! |
| 5 | Prof. Qin is great! Very patient and very helpful. |
| 6 | Professor taught the fundamentals of options and futures in very organized manner. I could learn many important logic and concepts. |
| 7 | Professor articulated very challenging topics in a clear and straightforward manner. |
| 8 | Qin is incredibly well prepared for class, with great structure and resources. He also makes time to meet with students outside of the classroom and genuinely cares about how the students perform. The class topics were at time complex, but thoroughly discussed so that all students could understand. |
| 9 | I really learned a lot of Finance in this course, the instructor is very helpful and always full of passion, which encouraged my enthusiastic on options and futures. |
| 10 | I think this course was extremely well designed to offer the perfect mix of theoretical and practical knowledge and insights. It offered a taste of the deeper mathematics behind these financial topics without going too far as to scare off students. |
| 11 | The lectures were very thorough and did a good job at explaining the material. |
| 12 | The prof broke down the complex topics in simpler (easy-to-follow) concepts. This helped the students grasp the challenging concepts. Plus, the perfect blend of concepts and numerical furthers the learning. |
| 13 | Overall an excellent course - essential course for the finance track folks. |
| 14 | Abundant materials to refer to Professor’s willingness to help learning |
| 15 | Coming from a very limited financial background I found this course very informative but somewhat time consuming, devoting time to catching up on basic terms etc. However Professor Lei did a great job of explaining and re-explaining things in class to give you ample time to internalize it in class and take it home to apply what you learned that day to the homework. I will definitely take him again for future financial studies. |
