14. Other comments:

Very enjoyable class! Excellent job encouraging questions from students and addressing each concern they had in the lectures. First of all, prof. Gunter stimate us to attend the class and motivate us to think about the theory in class. If I am allowed to make some comments on his class, we would have challenged a little bit more in terms of the qualititative materials. we have done it in the programming home work, however, if we would have learned rigorous proof in terms of the valuation of derivatives, it should he helpful to understand the derivatives itself and drawbacks, although I like to understand the equations intuitive way which Prof. Meissner provided us in his class. Generally, he stimulated us to think theoretically and critically about the financial derivatives itself and application in the real world. Thank you very much for your instraction.
