His class is easy and he will let you pass as long as you come to class and take notes. He won't give you hard time in getting good grade. I took it last semester and I got A as lots of people in that class did. The whole class said that his lecture was worth taking.

Professor Li was my lab teacher and his class was very straightforward. He does not assign any PP slides, all notes are written on the board. There are 4 exams and if you study the notes from class, there is no reason not to get a good grade. The exams are 40 multiple-choice questions and are not too challenging.

Everything was graded on time so you know where you stand. Responds promptly to emails, doesn't play games with tests, what's on the board/slides and your notes is what you'll see on the tests. If you take notes, study & show up, the easiest A.

One of the top things that makes him the best professor is that before the exams he gives some answers to the questions that will appear in the exams. Not only that, but his exams aren't that complex or hard. As long as you attend the class and memorize the information he gives, you will learn a lot and pass with a good grade.

During lectures, he explained everything very well, but note-taking is crucial. Those notes would be useful for exam reviews, as everything mentioned, especially lab results, is likely to be tested. In labs, he demonstrated the experiments before we did, and writing lab reports was pretty straightforward.

I loved Professor Li 10/10 would recommend. My class was lecture & lab in one so it was very long but he gave breaks and made the long hours bearable, he gave extra credit for wearing a lab coat and made sure everyone understood the material. Seriously could not have asked for a better professor.

If you want to learn biology, please take his class. By far one of the best professors Ive come across. I took the summer session so everyday was a new chapter but he didn't make it overwhelming. He teaches everything you will need to know and tells you what will be on the exams and what won't. I wish he taught A&P I would def take him again.

Amazing professor. Haven't taken any Bio classes previously, but he made learning easy and enjoyable. He makes his own class lectures from the textbook. All exam questions were based on his notes and what he says in class. During summer he had 4 lecture, and 4 lab exams. Definitely fast paced but if you take notes and study and you will do well.

The class does get boring at times as it is a 2 and a half hour class, but he is a professional who really enjoys what he does. You can tell he loves Biology and he is respectful to the students. Go to class, Copy everything he writes on the board because his notes are literally the answer key to his tests. Take your science requirement with him.

Professor Li is fantastic! I was so anxious going into his class, but he made everything so easy to understand. His notes are everything, what he writes on the board will be on the exam and he is very upfront about questions that he will likely include. He also adds a great sense of humor to the course. Definitely recommend taking him!

Professor Li is an amazing lecturer. He breaks down the material and makes it very engaging. No powerpoint slides, no textbook, just him writing on the board, drawing and speaking. He is a top tier lecturer and teaches in a manner that makes the information stick. His tests are based on information covered in class. Be sure to take good notes.
