I thought she did an excellent job teaching the material. she followed along with the book making it easy to study at home. she always did at least one example from each section of the homework. she is a great teacher

She is from China, which does make it difficult to understand at first, however I have found her to be very straight forward on the tests, no surprises. She is pretty leaniant on grading the tests, I know I should have maybe a C but because she is leanient I have a B+

Ya Li has a very heavy chinese accent, but you can get used to it very quickly. She follows the book and shows good examples. Her tests are very straight-forward. She knows how to teach math very well and answers pretty much any question you ask her through easy to follow equations.

She talks really fast but she will answer any questions and is pretty helpful.

She does have a heavy accent and uses the word right a lot but she is very helpful. She will answer any questions from the homework. She goes fast sometimes but if the section is especially difficult she will take her time.

I can understand the negative comments. The problem is Algebra sucks and the teachers HAVE to cover a certain amount of material and only have so much time in class. Like the other comments said, she does take time to explain if you ask, most of the time people just don't. She is actually really cool, you can joke around with her.

I worried about taking this class, however, I was very impressed with Ya Li and felt like she did a great job! Yes, she spoke fast and with an accent, however she had overhead transparencies to help with the language. I would recommend her.

She is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She uses excellent examples and prepares you well for the test. You will have to work hard in her class because the subject is math so deal with it. She is always willing to help you with any questions inside or outside of class.

show up, take detailed notes, ask questions on homework/ tests. Gives out study guides, helps when asked. overall i thought she was one of the best math teachers i have ever recieved.

easy teacher! teaches right from the book. lets you ask questions on the homework. all homework is worth a test, go to the math lab and you will get a 100%. if you do the hw the tests come right from it. test questions are easier than the hw. can be a little intimidating but overall very nice and super easy

Best Math class I have taken. It takes a few classes to get used to her accent but once you do she is fantastic. Just go to class and pay attention. she knows the material extremely well and explains everything in great detail.

She explained the concepts very well. Homework covered the same topics discussed in class. Tests were fair and she prepared us well for them. She made sure we would do well.

Dr. Li is a great professor. She is very well educated in mathematics and can answer virtually any question. She is kind and understanding. If you do the homework and come to class prepared to ask questions, you will do well. Her tests are not hard and she prepares you well for each test.

She prepared us well for our tests and test questions were very similar to questions given to us during the reviews. When it comes to grading, you don't get to drop any tests, but homework counts as one tests (which you can get help with at the tutor center). She was very understanding and starts each day by going over homework questions.

She is a very good teacher. Fair in her grading. Gives good examples.

She was very nice and explained things clearly. I must say that she has an accent but once you get used to it, it's not bad. She is well educated, gives wonderful examples and prepares her students well for tests.

Ya Li was a very good professor, and would help you with any question you had. Sometimes she was hard to understand, and sometimes she had a hard time understanding a specific question you would ask.

She is the best teacher at UVU. her pace is perfect. the difficulty is perfect. very respectful to students. i have no complaints. she really prepares you for your tests. her accent isnt difficult to understand so dont worry about that. she does go quickly, but its not even close to how fast professor fearnly goes. i think the is just the best.

She is very difficult to understand. Her accent is very thick and she sometimes misspells words. You are not allowed to use calculators on the tests. She will tell you that she will give easy enough questions and some turn out to be VERY difficult without a calculator.

I took the hybrid math course with Professor Li. You take in class quizzes every day but she doesn't mind if you turn them in late. She knows her math. She is very easy to work with. She wants you to succeed. I like her, but I HATE the class.

I had a hybrid class with her, which means you come to class and do quizzes and you do your homework online. She is always trying to help you succeed, but can be a little hard to understand (one of the reasons being her strong accent). She is brilliant, but the class can be really hard.

Once you get used to her accent the class is pretty easy. Tests are straight forward, if you can do the review you can do the test. She goes over difficult homework problems in class.

I dont' know why everyone thinks she has a thick accent. Her English is clear and understandable, so that isn't a problem at all. If you are going to take the hybrid class, make sure you set aside time to LEARN THE MATERIAL, because you'll have no idea what you're doing when you come to class to take the daily quiz. She helps us on the quizzes too.

She is adorable, makes me smile every class. Explains material well, answers questions thoroughly. My favorite thing about her was that her tests cover the most basic concepts with no tricky business. Although you can't use a calculator on the test she doesn't expect you to refine the answer to it's simplest form. Her accent is not a problem.

Ya Li is a great teacher and she does teach class very well. She helped me out with homework and quizzes but doesn't give you the answer. Math 1050 is self explanatory and she will go over homework assignment in class if had trouble with it.

I took Ya Li for Math 2280 and Math 3310 and I really liked her for both. This was one of her first times teaching 3310 which was nice because she would learn with us and understood how hard the material was. She was great for 2280 because if you didn't remember something from a previous math class she covered it again. Got tests back very fast.

For upper division math classes she is great. One of the easiest graders and is really understanding of difficult circumstances. After being in the class for a day you get used to her accent. I was hesitant to take her because of the reviews I had seen, but she has been a great teacher this semester.

Ya Li is a great teacher. She teaches simply and slowly. If you just give an attempt on a problem, you will receive credit for it. The final was take home, not sure if that's normal. No extra credit or curve. Very limited homework problems.

Professor Li does have an accent, however, the math does not have any sort of accent, so that can't be an excuse to do poorly. She has homework due online which is really easy with the online homework assistance if needed. You can take home the daily quizzes no reason not to get 5/5. Tests are EXACTLY like the reviews, do well on those, get an A.

Ya Li is an amazing teacher and I loved her when I took Calc 3 from her. She's caring and wants to know if you are passing or not. Her accent takes a little while to get used to but, it's easy to understand her if you stick with the class. She goes over little details while your learning and is super nice.

The course I took was an online course. I will say that I worked very hard for this grade, but learned a great deal, and found in the end that she was a fair, but hard grader. This is not a class you can coast through. She is approachable, and will respond to emails.

all you have to do is online homework monthly, 9-15 questions per section, total of 8 sections per month. No brain is needed since there is guideline to help, you have a month to do it! 4 exams and 1 final, all you need to do is study the exam review, no way you can't have decent grade. You complaint because you didnt put little effort, admit it.

Ya Li is a great professor and I hope I am able to take a class from her again! Her lectures are fast paced but she does a lot of examples which helped me learn a lot. Her tests are fair and the homework (though due for every section) isn't too much to handle. She helped me learn the subject very well and she can even be pretty funny!

Some people don't understand this online class was already created and she was asked to facilitate it the last minute. If you go to her office hours, she's amazing at breaking down complex subjects so a child can understand and she stays in her office outside of office hours to help students too. She's also helped me with Linear Algebra as well.

Extra credit if you attend class. You could learn from the book but it helped me to be in class. We got a 3x5 notecard on every test and she is clear about what material is going to be on the tests. I spent ~30-45 minutes on homework per class. Biggest criticism is that sometimes her answers to questions don't actually answer the question.
