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 B 2018, I taught Financial Modeling, a BBA level elective course at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Here are some nice things my students said about this course.
| 1 | This is probably the most useful course that I have taken during my time in Ross. I think it will prove to give me a major leg up during my first few years on the job in investment banking, propelling my career to a much higher level. Classes such as this one are part of what helps to differentiate Ross students from most other BBA students and Ivy League economics majors in financial careers. |
| 2 | I can feel the teacher’s passion in the course. The materials are very well prepared and useful. The structure of the course is well thought of. This is one of the best course I’ve taken here. |
| 3 | This is the most practical course at Michigan. |
| 4 | I really appreciated the video solutions uploaded. I found them very useful when reviewing the lessons and attempted to solve the problems. The examples were also very useful. There was also interesting additional documents that I read when I had the time and I found useful too. |
| 5 | The material is extremely interesting, and the project felt very doable and manageable. This course has served to further prove to me that I want to do financial modeling in my full-time work, as I find it to be very intellectually stimulating. Qin is also an extremely nice and caring guy; when he says that the class is a family, he means it. He also responds to all emails with incredible promptness. |
| 6 | The class is very well structured and the materials are so helpful. The website was phenomenal and had step by step instructions on everything which made the learning process easy. Great job in terms of course content and design from Professor Qin! Very useful class |
| 7 | Really liked the professor in that he was honest and practical. Professor Lei was a genuine enjoyment and he made ample time to answer any questions and just discuss life. He’s a solid professor and an even better person. I felt like I was “family.” |
| 8 | I really enjoyed this class and hope to take more finance classes. This class has helped me to confirm my desire to enter a career in finance. |
| 9 | In class Excel examples were very helpful for completing the trivia questions. PowerPoints used in class were very thorough. Instructor was very knowledgeable on subject being taught. |
