Reviews of professor Xi Li

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Clearly scheduled assignments. You have 1 pop question in most classes, but you have infinite tries to get the full point. No homework really other than an online proctored unit quiz the week before a test. Then an online unit test that next week. During those 2 weeks of each unit there aren't any in person classes, he just does zoom Q/A.

Professor Xi Li is a my way or the highway type of professor. He relies heavily on the syllabus and gives no exceptions to accommodate your schedule or different needs. Many pop quizzes during class and provides a lot of exam review material.

If you are someone wanting to actually learn finance he is the professor for you!  He makes finance almost feel easy and makes sure everyone has a chance to understand it 100%. Best professor I have had. ONLY take him if you're willing to put in the work. The people who do not get A's are the ones who do not go to class or practice for the exams.

He was an alright guy in class but pretty rude over email if you had questions. God forbid you cant connect to the internet on the day of an assignment, he does not allow you to make up anything for any reason. I wouldn't take him again but he's bearable if he's your only option.

This professor has in class quizzes, three quizzes and 3 tests all on lockdown. However, he tells you what will be on quizzes and tests and provides lots of resources/videos to help you understand material. I would recommend him for this Finance class!
