At that time, it adopted a unique style of case study, which was based on real situations or events in business management, in this way, it is helpful to cultivate and develop students’ active participation in class discussion. For investment students, specialized courses such as Investment Project Evaluation and corporate finance are concentrated in the upper grades, and in the freshman, sophomore phase has completed the Finance, finance, macroeconomics and other basic courses. On the basis of students’ existing knowledge structure, the course “Investment Project Evaluation” needs to fully tap students’ potential in learning and train students’ practical problem-solving ability, to cultivate students’ thinking ability of combining theoretical knowledge with practical cases, to avoid the teaching mode of “I tell you to listen”, and to guide students to think, analyze and solve problems actively.
