  • Created assignments and led class discussions on non-linear models, interaction effects, and standard errors. Helped with grading and creating assignments for the entire sessions.

Comments from students:

• "I really liked this course because Professor Shotaro explained the material very well through power point. The assignments he left us were not overwhelming, which gave me time to study more and really focus on the material. I liked his structure, very organized, attentive and efficient."

• "I enjoyed the professor's lecture style, and his use of real-world examples to accompany the course content. I also enjoyed reading the case studies for the companies, they were incredibly interesting and thought-provoking."

• "Great introduction to concepts followed by learning to use them to understand or evaluate cases. Enjoyed the teaching style and even though during classes long breaks were well timed."
