From Evaluations:
"Thank you for being so sincere throughout this semester. When I signed up for this class at the beginning of the year, I was initially a little bit worried because I was signing up for the unknown––a new professor! However, throughout this semester, it is so abundantly clear how much you care about teaching us, you go out of your way to create multiple review documents, the homework is always relevant, you are constantly asking for clarification during class if we have doubts. Thank you so much! I've learned so much from this class and now I feel like a real Marshall student!"
"Professor Li always did a great job with student interaction – through office hours, in–class with questions and beyond. She was always very responsive to student feedback and how to best improve student understanding and comprehension, which was spectacular. She was also very available via email for questions, which always helped me a lot!"
"Professor Li is extremely kind and went out of her way to clearly explain all the topics and concepts. Homework, quizzes and exams were manageable and she gave her full support to students and was helpful in every way possible. Class slides were very well organized making it easy to find information and assignments. She also provided good opportunities for extra credit. Overall a fantastic professor who wants to see her students succeed."
"I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Concepts were explained clearly, and we were given plenty of resources to prepare for class and reinforce lessons. Accounting can be a dry topic, especially at 8 in the morning, but Professor Li made it fun and rewarding."
"Xiangyu made herself frequently available to us students which I found very helpful. I really appreciated her willingness to help us out and be open to hearing any struggles that we were having in class."
"Thank you for your dedication and support throughout the course. Your clear explanations, patience, and structured approach to accounting made a complex subject much more approachable and engaging. I truly appreciated the time and effort you put into your teaching. Thanks again!"
