Teaching financial disciplines online: assessment of the professional level of lecturer
Abstract
The object of the study is a financial management course taught entirely in a distance format. The subject of the study is the professional level of teaching this discipline. The study was conducted by interviewing students. A total of 46 students took part in the survey, 61 % of them were undergraduate students, 39 % were graduate students. Among the respondents, the share of foreign students was 15 %. We identified the following parameters for assessing the professional level of teaching in the discipline (the answers provided in points had a maximum value of 10): the professional level of the teacher (weighted average value of 9.9 points), the novelty of the topics considered in the course (weighted average value of 9.3 points), the clarity of the presentation of the material (weighted average value of 9.6 points), the quality of the teacher’s answers to the questions asked (weighted average value of 9.8 points), new knowledge and skills acquired by students in the learning process (weighted average value of 9.8 points), the usefulness of the acquired knowledge and skills in practice (weighted average of 8.2 points), interest in the course during training, the degree of satisfaction at the end of the course (weighted average of 9.7 points). The weighted average value for all parameters was almost 9.5 points out of 10 possible, therefore, our study showed that students highly appreciated the professional level of distance learning in the course “financial management”.
