A completely over the top introductory sequence for the core online MBA finance course. I mean, why not give real content the hype it deserves, no?
Teaching
I teach at the doctoral, graduate, and undergraduate levels. While I have taught many undergraduate courses, I primarily supervise the Student Managed Investment Fund at the undergraduate level. You can see some recent holdings here. I teach corporate finance and investments, global consulting, and advanced financial data analytics in person and online at the graduate level. In the doctoral program I greatly enjoy helping aspiring academics become competent teachers and researchers. I have had the pleasure of working with finance doctoral students, of course, but also with accounting, computer information systems, management, and marketing students on their research programs.
I have been fortunate to have been recognized with several awards, including Teacher of the Year and an Innovation in Teaching awards by the College of Business at Louisiana Tech University. I have also received the Beta Gamma Sigma Business Honors Society Professor of the Year medal.
A handful of testimonials, for fun…
“Dr. McCumber hands down is one of the most knowledgeable professors I have met. He makes complicated subject matter come to life. He is the number one reason I would come back to get a doctorate.”
“Weakness? It wasn’t long enough. This was such an informative and inspirational class that I was always wanting more. The professor goes out of his way to engage the students in and out of the classroom. The content was always clear and explained well. It is very apparent the professor is passionate about finance. ”
“Best professor at Tech! We are so lucky to have him. He is the HEAT! PAY HIM MORE MONEY!”
“He’s very enthusiastic about the subject and I greatly appreciate the real world examples. They really helped me understand some of the concepts that I’m new to. Overall, one of the best instructors I’ve ever had.”
“Dr. McCumber,
I have spent the better part of this afternoon going through this course on Canvas, and I just wanted to reach out and tell you how impressed I am with your course. I have been doing some form of online schooling for probably 10 years now, on and off, and I have never seen a course so well organized. Not only is the course well organized, the content that you have personally spent time putting together for us is the best I’ve ever seen. I can truly tell that you are excited to teach, willing to help, and sincerely care about your students learning from your course. So many online courses are: pay the money, teach yourself, get the credit. As a working professional, those can be very frustrating.
I am truly excited to take this class, and I haven’t felt that way about education in a long time.
Thank you, and again, I’m looking forward to it.
