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 2019, 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 One phrase: The professor is what made this course. Best professor I have ever had hands-down. Enthusiastic about class concepts and structured so clearly that the only way students do not achieve a high grade is a lack of effort. Professor Lei is always beside students to help them, challenge them, and expand their understanding of financial modeling. He responds quickly to emails, provides feedback on assignments instantly, and teaches the course in a way students are able to understand difficult concepts. If you see this in the future, professor, I truly appreciate everything you have done and your care and hard work shows. Please give this man a raise!
2 I loved how structured the course was. The teacher is great at communication and keeping students up to date.
3 Professor Lei clearly is very experienced in financial modeling. He knows what he is doing, and he does a good job of explaining how the whole process works. He also provides plenty of resources for students to reference while working through the homeworks/projects and he is very responsive to questions.
4 This class and the teacher have exceeded my expectations. It is incredible to see how a teacher puts so much effort to make a class learn.
5 Professor is clearly very knowledgeable about the subject matter. The exercises are well-thought-out and are highly relevant.
6 The support Professor offers is tremendous and in a difficult class I felt like I mastered the material because of his availability/materials he provided
7 Well-designed course materials; instructor very familiar with the relevant fields, very responsible and responsive, and gave a lot of practical advise to students; nice and neat course site, useful information shared and timely announcements made.
