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 2022, 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 | The material and content provided by the professor was of the highest quality and very accessible. |
| 2 | The knowledge of modeling I learned in this class is very solid combined with in-class exercises and trivia questions for further enhancement. The final group project and group spreadsheet submission also improve my teamwork ability. |
| 3 | Course encouraged students to put in there own efforts to learn the modeling skills beyond the classroom setting. Course does an excellent job scaffolding up to dealing with more complex concepts that would otherwise seem daunting |
| 4 | Prepared professor, good infrastructure (website) and very well written slides. |
| 5 | Very interesting course content. Very competent lecturer |
| 6 | Splitting lecture time between the mathematics and financial theory that underlies the modeling exercises helped a lot in developing a deeper understanding of how these financial models work. |
| 7 | The resources were very well organized, and there are lots of opportunities for further reading on the topics I’m most interested in. |
| 8 | For me, it taught me that I do not like financial modeling. I know this sounds like a negative but to me it is more testament of the great teaching, exercises and available resources. The material was taught really well and was made as interesting as possible, the trivia were grounded questions, Professor Lei made a very welcoming and family-like atmosphere, but I still did not like the material. |
| 9 | Fantastic accompanying materials and staggered learning style where current material builds off of previous understandings. |
| 10 | I thought the biggest strengths were the group work components and thorough in class examples. |
| 11 | Abundance of office hours to help with course material. |
| 12 | Great website - very easy to use and understand. Everything seem very coordinated |
| 13 | I think having so many practice examples made this course easier to understand |
| 14 | Learned a lot in a short period |
| 15 | The course site was very organized and had a ton of resources. |
| 16 | its one of the best ever |
| 17 | I like the triva and application based learning with hands on excel. |
| 18 | I learned so much |
| 19 | Qin is a great professor. |
| 20 | Excellent course. |
| 21 | clear explanation |
| 22 | Great course materials, good final project |
| 23 | Good lectures |
