Reviews of professor Chi Li

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
There is a lot of reading in this course. We had 2 oral reports + reflections based on 2 of the readings (we got to choose which ones), and for those you basically get full cred as long as you do it. Most of the grade was the 2 papers we had, I'd recommend going to office hrs for help for those. The rest was all participation-based.

I honestly dont recommend this class

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I don't recommend taking her R1B class for primarily the following reason. She often repeats her questions until she received the answer she planned for. Making discussions somewhat stale as different ideas were ok but not the "right" answer. Also, I found it somewhat difficult to understand her even when I sat near the front of the class.

I've no doubt Chi is extremely knowledgeable about films, however this does not manifest in lecture at all. Terrible at leading discussions, frequently has problems using technology for lecture, and cannot express her thoughts coherently. Is an unreasonably tough grader and gives harsh and unhelpful feedback. Taking the class PNP because of her.
