Reviews of professor Ling Li

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you want to learn mechanical design dont take this mans class. I dont know what was going on by day 2 of his lectures. Good luck doing his homework.

Very long and confusing homework and project that differs substantially from the lecture. Unclear teacher and difficult to understand. Few office hours to get help on said homework. Try to get a different professor for this course.

Goes over exactly what you need to pass the tests. Very nice person. Pretty responsive over email. The class was hard, and I had to read the textbook often. Homeworks are fair, and so are the tests.

Avoid for mech design. Very awful professor all around. He makes tons of mistakes in his notes and gives the worst most long and redundant homework. His notes are always filled with typos leaving everyone confused. His handwriting isn't legible and his accent is difficult to understand. He has very few office hours. Tests averages are very low.

The lecture was boring, but the professor really spends time on preparing the lectures. He tries different ways to make the class understand the material easier. I think the material itself makes this class boring. The professor has tried his best. He let us redo midterms at home to gain extra credits. He really wants his students to learn material

Ling Li is one of my worst professors. It is very hard to understand what he taught during the lecture. I got a really bad grade on the first midterm. After that, I did not attend the lecture and learned by myself. (using the textbook) All the definitions and examples in the textbook are clear and easy to understand. Finally, I got an A.

Generally I think this guy gets too much of a bad rep. He may not be the best professor for this class but he isnt bad. He really wants you to do well and tries to help. However this class is hard.

Ling Li didnt care about us as students this semester. His tests are very difficult, he didnt answer my emails, and he didnt show up to his office hours. He also forgot private appts. he made with students at least 6 times this semester regarding big projects/tests. Also left for an hour during the final so we couldnt ask questions during it.
