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 2020, 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 | Prof. Lei was an elite teacher and had better instructional infrastructure than any college course I’ve taken. |
| 2 | The website has been an incredible resource throughout the course and allowed for a smooth transition from in-person to online teaching. I think that overall, the flow of the class remained uninterrupted. |
| 3 | Probably the best professor I have had in my two years here at UofM. |
| 4 | I have never seen a professor more prepared and well organized. It went a long way in helping me to learn and succeed in this course. |
| 5 | A reason why this course was so successful in transferring over to remote learning was that everything was already online to start. That was very useful. I like the fact that before remote earning Professor Lei took attendance. However, he also ensured that everything was online and recorded to be used as a reference. Furthermore, the amount of practice problems was extremely beneficial. |
| 6 | asynchronous interaction worked well. As of for the video, I believe that you have been on top of this way before the outbreak of the virus, with videos and pdf available. |
| 7 | Professor Lei is absolutely amazing. One of the most caring professors I have ever had, give this man a raise. |
