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 2016, 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 | one of the best class that I’ve taken in U of M |
| 2 | Professor Qin was definitely one of the best professors I’ve had at Michigan. He is a great teacher and a very nice man. I would highly recommend taking his class to a friend because is great at explaining complex financial topics and is very energetic. |
| 3 | Professor Qin went through the essential framework of making financial decisions in my opinion. He knew what to emphasize on and when he did, he would explain it well and throughly. In addition, the daily trivia questions were a good way to stimulate the brain in the early morning which I thought helped with the rest of lecture. I kept wanting to come to class and I believe that was so because Professor Qin was so enthusiastic about teaching. |
| 4 | I found the class to be one of my favorite classes I have taken at Michigan and enjoyed it very much. |
