I had Li for both 14A and 14B (yay, lucky me)! I got an A- in both courses. Honestly, if you do all the practice problems she gives out (handouts) + her practice midterm (very similar to real exam!!), you should be able to get a 90% at least! She also has extra credit opportunities. I avoided Lavelle at ALL costs because I did not want to get anything lower than an A-.

I would HATE to do every textbook problem and suffer so much for no reason? I like to be strategic and pick the most doable courses with the best professors. If she ever teaches, pick her over Lavelle and Scerri! I took AP Chem in 12th grade (I NEVER paid attention). However, in her class, I payed attention, read the textbook, and did the problems. I never really went to OH since I studied with friends and was able to get the answers and reason through them. Like I said, this class should NOT be hard regardless if you took AP Chem or not.

If you take Lavelle, you BETTER hope you took AP Chem because he is way harder. If you want to play the game right, get at least an A- or so, and not suffer so much, LI IS THE ONE!!!

Prof Li was so incredibly kind. Chem is tough, as is freshman year, and she made everything as manageable as possible. She worked hard to make sure students understood the content, and went out of her way to print slides for us, hold review sessions, and even get us pizza and snacks. I have not had another professor as kind and thoughtful for such a large lecture, ever.

I believe that Professor Li is one of the nicest professors out there. She really does care about her students and her tests are really straightforward. 10/10 would recommend, I wish she taught the rest of the 14 series instead some of the current professors.

Professor Li is one of the best teachers I have had at UCLA. She is incredibly helpful and is really dedicated to her students. She holds three different review sessions before each midterm and final which basically covers every topic learned in the class so far.
