Students’ Words

EMF2019 Betty Wang

Professor Liang Jiang is very careful and meticulous in class. He will patiently explain each question, not leaving a single doubt. He can also precisely capture our facial expressions, identify and ask students looking confused or not understanding. By taking his class, I have grown to be better at asking questions and more active in participating in class. Even the complex and difficult econometrics seems to be easier in his illustrations. Professor Liang Jiang is also my thesis advisor. At that time, he always guided me with patience and care. He would give immediate reply even late at night, guiding me to solve problems one by one and accomplish the thesis successfully. I feel sincerely honored to be one of his students. May everything go well with his work and life.

The financial knowledge like leaves joined together as a whole in her heart, and we are like knowledge pursuers traveling all these vines and branches.
