Professor Li has a very fair grading scheme for this class: 18% quizzes (which are easy), 20% homework (also easy), 17% participation (measured through iClicker and you can miss two classes), 20% midterm (which is open note), and 25% final exam (also open note). My TA, Melissa Ferriter, was also fantastic in providing us detailed weekly review slides and explanations for the free response questions that were on the midterm. I learned about a niche topic I didn't have much interest in before taking this class in a stress-free manner, what more could I ask for?
