The website Poets & Quants asked students from b-schools around the country who were featured in their recent “Best & Brightest” story to name some of their favorite professors. Two Olin profs got the nod.

Markus Baer, associate professor of organizational behavior, and Asaf Manela, assistant professor of finance got these glowing reviews:

“My favorite professor is Markus Baer. He taught my organizational behavior class sophomore year. I never thought I would like the class, and only took it because it was a required course. However, I was shocked when I enjoyed the class so much. It was a new and interesting way to look at business through something other than numbers and financial statements. It was interesting to look at businesses through people and group dynamics. Professor Baer taught the class with so many real-life examples, and made the material very engaging.”  — Ellen Kaushansky, Washington University (Olin)

 

“Asaf Manela: Professor Manela has an extensive background in the fields of business and computer science and led an incredibly interesting class (Options, Futures, and Derivative Securities), which solidified my passion for Finance.” – Alex Ranney, Washington University (Olin)
