This teacher is terrible. Took this for my major. He was in China and could care less whether or not I needed help. Horrible I studied hard and I am sure I will fail this course. His English isn't very good and he could careless about you and pawns his students onto his GA. Terrible I do not recommend this professor at all!

I skipped most classes but attended labs and read the notes online. He also records his lectures if you want to listen to them at home. I liked him for an elective class, but if you need information for your major, consider other professors.

Won't find more clear content and grading criteria here in as much as Dr Li. Second,attendance is not mandatory, but if you do you'll get a bunch of bonus points. All lectures will be uploaded to for learning or studying purposes. The homework for this class is super easy if you follow his instructions. Attend to have extra points and fun.

A lot of people complain about how hard this class is. It's not a big deal at all. Easy A. If you would just take it semi-seriously and not blow it off for being a Gen-Ed class, with average work and average focus you will get an A. Heck, with 3 tests you only have to study 3 night the entire semester. He's just hard to understand sometimes.

Dr. Li's class is not that hard, but he is hard to understand at times and the material covered is not very interesting. He goes off on tangents a lot. He never takes attendance but he always gives extra credit questions in class using TopHat.

He is a very funny teacher. Tells you up front that you must have the book, that the book is mandatory and a lot of the information for exams will come from the book, videos he shows or posts links and documents to elearn. Read book and do homework. Tells you before final what you need to make to get a letter grade up or you can skip with grade.

Geography 1120 is the easiest class at Tech, in my opinion. You literally have to try and screw up to not get an A in his class. He gives so many extra credits and his tests are very easy. Trust me, this will be the easiest A you'll get! Just memorize his powerpoints and you're good to go

Taking him for Human Geography. He's moderately funny and the material is very simple. You have plenty of resources to easily get an A in the class to include his lectures (recorded), powerpoints, and so on, on Ilearn. He seems to like to curve grades and give bonus points. You can get a lot of bonus points just by showing up to the lectures. EasyA

Dr. Li is one of the best professors I have ever had. He cares about his students and teaches his subject with real life story breaks that alleviates the stress of college life. Some immature students do not appreciate him as a person and ridicule him for his accent and his mistakes in English. This is sad because as a non-trad, he is my favorite!

Attendance is not mandatory, but every class period he will do tophat that counts towards extra points on exams. difficult to understand when talking. Didn't use book in class, but for the quizzes on iLearn it's very helpful. 3 exams and then an additional exam as the final is optional.

He is not a bad Professor. You will need to read if you want an A. I got a B without reading ever. A couple online exams which are nice but you don't have the time to search the book or even google. All quizzes come from the book. All test from the lectures. He has changed the way he teaches because someone complained to his supervisor.

Dr. Li is a great professor! He is always willing to help explain something if you are confused. I had to email him several times with questions and he always responded quickly. You have a good amount of homework in this class, but if he records his lectures like he did for my class, it is nice to rewatch the lecture while working on the homework.

Easiest class ever. The only grades are the four exams, but he only counts your top three grades. Quizzes for each chapter are extra credit. Each class he does two "pop quiz" questions for extra credit on the exams. The pop quizzes are just guess the song and a basic question over something he went over in class. Would definitely recommend taking!

Dr. Li was a hilarious professor. His class is very interesting because of this. The class is not difficult at all. He gives tons of extra credit and tests are all open note/ google, you just can't use other people. With all the extra credit it was possible for me to have over a 100 for the average of the class. The final is also optional.
