Reviews of professor Yaping Li

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU WANT TO LEARN. She has a thick accent and speaks very quietly, therefore SIT UP FRONT. 70% of your grade comes from only tests; labs can't save your grade. No study guides. No equation sheet. Few to no power points. Does not post any grades; have to go to her directly. I left angry most days. Don't do it to yourself...

I took Dr. Li for Physical Science lab and it was the hardest class I have ever taken. A 45 minute lab takes the whole 2 hours and 50 minutes. She is dang near impossible to understand and gets frustrated when people ask questions because we don't know what is going on. She changes what she wants and how she wants it all through out the class.

Dr. Yaping Li was perhaps the best physics professor I've ever had. She made physics enjoyable and really gave me a good grasp of the fundamentals. She not only taught physics, but the required calculus as well. A blessing if you're taking calc1 concurrently but the professor didn't cover that material yet.

Principles of Physics I is a difficult course, but Dr. Yaping made the material accessible. Her grading is fair and might even be considered generous. She uses class time efficiently and even makes time to reviews common mistakes and homework questions that students struggled with. Dr. Yaping teaches with consistency and clearly communicates.
