Dr. Pang is awesome. After coming back from quarantine and getting throwing into 30AL after taking 20L virtually, the transition was made extremely comfortable thanks to the setup of this class. Dr. Pang's lectures are very clear and engaging, and are also podcasted online. The workload is very manageable and labs are structured quite well (and you can leave early if you finish—physics department has something to learn from this class). You spent most of this class in the lab (go figure) with the TA, but Dr. Pang always drops into the lab and looks around and is generally available for questions. He's also a total chad and will notice if you're doing something wrong with your sulfuric acid solution and step in and fix it without wearing gloves or goggles. He's never upset if you mess something up, and your grade won't suffer if your percent yield is low, as long as you can explain why (again, physics department, you really got to step it up). Tests are fair and not too hard as well, and this class is a great complement to CHEM 30B, which will take all your time anyway, so it's nice that this class is much easier.

Prof. Pang is so nice and funny and clearly cares about his students. Labs and reports were tedious but mostly just busy work. Fairly easy midterm and final as material is mostly from 14A and B. Definitely recommend this professor and taking it during the summer.

Pang is the best. I really enjoyed this class, mainly because the professor is so caring and helpful to the students. He had office hours everyday which helped immensely and was always willing to answer whatever question no matter how stupid. Chem14Cl is notoriously a hard class but taking it with this professor made it one of my favorite classes since I felt like the work I put in directly correlated to how I did in the class and the professor and TAs I interacted with were all kind and helpful. I appreciated how he always came to check on how the labs were going during lab periods too. Also the study guides are very helpful and I really appreciate the detail put into them. If only every professor was like you Pang, I'm gonna miss you <3 Also thanks for the candy on halloween and during office hours :)

Amazing class! Definitely recommend taking this concurrently with 20B as it definitely helps bring the concepts to life.

The class is a lot of work- you have weekly prelabs, postlabs, a small "essay" later in the quarter that provides extra credit as well as midterm and a final. However, the work isn't necessarily difficult as long as you follow all of the instructions and maybe even check with your friends. Stay on top of things and you'll be fine!

Pretty easy class since most material is review from Chem 14A/B. Midterm was very easy while the final was slightly difficult. Pre- and post-lab reports are easy if you follow directions but are time-consuming since they're hand-written in your lab notebook. There are also some group lab reports which can be annoying to schedule. Pang is a homie though; he prints slides for every lecture and is so cute and funny!

Dr. Pang was one of the clearest and most helpful professors I've ever had, especially in the Chem 14 series. Although the workload and number of hours is quite heavy per week, if you do the pre-lab assignments on time (before lab) and read through the procedure thoroughly, you should be able to finish each lab period at least an hour early. Pang provides plenty of review material before each midterm and the final with a very thorough review study guide and plenty of practice problems on lab assignments. Use the Free & For Sale page to purchase a lab manual, lab coat, and goggles! Also he gave out glowsticks after his last lecture to some of his classes

Professor Pang is a truly amazing professor. He has possibly been one of the best professors I have had the pleasure of being taught by. Pang is extremely caring and passionate about his students and their learning and understanding of course material. I always felt welcome asking the simplest of questions and Pang always took the time to explain his answers in depth, yet easy to understand. It is very rare to find a professor who genuinely cares about his students, especially in south campus courses. Pang is a rare exception as he effortlessly incorporates humor and life into a fast paced and naturally difficult class. He also makes communication a priority by continuously emailing students with regards to the labs and course material (even going so far as to email students who did not do so well on his exams). If you are forced to take 14Bl I definitely recommend taking Pang, the course won't be easy, but you'll at least have someone who cares about your success and understanding. Also go to his office hours, he's really nice!

Professor Pang was so great. The material is a lot of review from A and B.
The tests can be kind of difficult but the study guides help a lot! The midterm was very similar to the study guide. He answers any questions that you may have and will go over things again in office hours if you need help with it!! 10/10 would recommend to take BL with Pang.
