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 2019, 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 | Qin Lei was one of the best professors I have had at this university. He put forth an amazing effort to make this class the best experience possible for students and went above and beyond in doing things such as online review sessions. He was a huge reason for my success thus far in this course. |
| 2 | Professor Lei has extremely high expectations of us, but he gives us all the tools we need to succeed. His high expectations and difficult exams made me feel that he believed in my capabilities as a student. It was clear through the course website that he put considerable time and thought into the different ways that students learn, and there were materials available to accommodate my learning style very well. Great class + great professor! |
| 3 | With no exaggeration, Mr Lei was my favorite professor here at Michigan. He was extremely dedicated towards student success and was always willing to meet students outside of class should they need help. He was very friendly and approachable. His organization is unparalleled by any other professor I have seen. Definitely recommend him and hope to have another class with him. |
| 4 | Qin Lei was a great professor and will probably rank as one of the best I will ever have before I graduate. |
| 5 | As a junior having taken many courses at the University of Michigan, Prof. Lei was by far the most organized and passionate teacher I have ever had. I felt he truly cared about the learning of every student and tried to make the learning process easy for every student. |
| 6 | Thanks for a great semester! It’s classes like these that I am able to see the most growth in my learning. I definitely will be applying the knowledge from this course in my internship this summer. |
| 7 | Nearly everything, I love this class. The website Professor Lei prepares for the class is extremely robust and has everything a student could ever want. The lectures are up, in two different formats, and the homework video solutions are also extremely helpful. Additionally, I find Professor Lei’s lecturing style to be very interesting and I have absolutely loved being in this class. I thought I would not like finance, and now I can’t wait to take my next finance class. |
| 8 | Professor Lei was a great instructor. He was always well-prepared for class and he made the logistics of the class as easy as possible. I don’t have much else to say besides that I wish all professors were like Professor Lei. |
| 9 | This course was the most organized I have taken at the University of Michigan. I knew exactly what was expected of me. I enjoyed that there was more than enough material for me. From recorded lectures, lecture notes, homework, additional problem sets and practice questions, I never felt lost when trying to understand and practice a topic. |
