What students say about my courses (excerpts from the course evaluations)
"Praxisrelevantes Wissen, Programmierkenntnisse, Gute Strukturierung der Lernmaterialien" Introduction to Computational Finance (2020)
"Use of papers to replicate. Easy to follow. Starts from very basic programming so it is well suited even for beginners." Introduction to Computational Finance (2020)
"practical, better understanding of the relevant finance knowledge" Introduction to Computational Finance (2020)
"The mathematics exercise helps my proficency in solving the financial mathematics related problems" Basics of Financial Mathematics (2019)
"The lecturer is very passionate & supportive." Introduction to Computational Finance with R (2019)
"Small group with patient and detailed instruction, Proper workload for each class, Very practical contents" Introduction to Computational Finance (2019)
"well oriented, strong theory background, very supportive lecturer" Introduction to Computational Finance (2018)
"GOOD QUALITY COMBINATION OF COMPUTATIONS AND FINANCIAL THEORY, DETAILED INSTRUCTION BY PROFESSOR" Introduction to Computational Finance (2018)
"The lecturer explains every example in a structured and detailed way, which helps to understand the mathematical concepts. Basics of Financial Mathematics (2018)
"The lecturer was very well prepared. The course is very interesting and useful for lawyers, because we check things that we have not reviewed in many years (since we left High school probably)" Basics of Financial Mathematics (2018)
"This course aims to provide a recap of the mathematics we learnt in school. It is definitely helpful." Basics of Financial Mathematics (2018)
"This course served as a good introduction to the finance courses. It was especially helpful that Dr. Gerlach worked out most of the problems and maths in class so that I understood everything clearly. For a bunch of lawyers who have not done any math, for even so long as a decade, a little extra help counted very much." Basics of Financial Mathematics (2018)
"Hand-on experience with Matlab program. The level of difficulty increases through the course at a reasonable speed. Professor explains quite clearly the matters in each lecture" Introduction to Computational Finance (2017)
"Ich denke, dass dieser Kurs einer der sinnvollsten in meinem Studium war. Man hat eine gute Einführung in Matlab bekommen, vor allem das selbstständige Arbeiten während des Kurses ist sehr sinnvoll. Außerdem wurden auch Paper besprochen, die sehr relevantes Wissen in Asset Management vermitteln konnten." Introduction to Computational Finance (2017)
"The help of the professor. The ability to use knowledge from finance. The friendly environment on the class." Introduction to Computational Finance (2017)
"Very dynamic course. Very patient professor with the complete willingness of teaching the contents." Introduction to Computational Finance (2017)
"Dr. Gerlach's time and patience is greatly appreciated." Basics of Financial Mathematics (2017)
"It does help many lawyers revise mathematical concepts with which they dealt, in some instances, decades ago. The lecturer is always available to help." Basics of Financial Mathematics (2016)
"The lecturer is quite patient with questions from us." Basics of Financial Mathematics (2016)
"Very detailed and helpful to gain basic knowledge of financial mathematics." Basics of Financial Mathematics (2016)
