One of my favorite professors at UW. Makes you think for yourself, which I really appreciated in a capstone course, but will happily provide clarification or help if asked for. Definitely take the time to discuss the material with her if you are interested in cognitive affective neuro, as she is incredibly knowledgeable about the topic.Rate My Professors ↗

Very interesting class, Dr. Li presents very up-to-date material in an easy to understand manner. Exams are definitely doable. I would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in human emotions or systems neuroscience.Rate My Professors ↗

A very helpful teacher who is passionate about what she teaches and is always ready to provide answers to your questions. Easy to meet up with outside of class and makes a 2.5 hour lecture easy and bearable. I highly recommend her if you're interested in learning about the neuroanatomy behind emotion.Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Li's class was amazing. Firstly, she is a very nice person and she is extremely friendly to all her students. In addition, she made learning about neuroscience very interesting despite it being slightly a tough topic. I learned a lot and I wish her all the best. Take her class!Rate My Professors ↗

I really enjoyed her class and am amazed at how much I learned in such a short period! Although it was challenging, it addressed a very important subject. I hope it will continue to be taught in the future.Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Li's course was a terrible waste of one of my Level 3 psych classes. She hardly lectures (instead students present all material), was unable to help most students understand the complex material, and has no interest in seeing her students get excited about her topic and course. She is kind, but incapable of teaching this type of course.Rate My Professors ↗
