Wow that's a lot of bashing on Pang. Well can't say I disagree with most of them. Yea..Pang is pretty tough. His exams are pretty hard and the practice exams he gave don't help that much. I mean they do tell you what will be on the test but the problems on the midterm and final will be totally different from the one given on the practice. I gotta admit his exams are hard I had problems with them. As for lab...if you have an easy TA it shouldn't be to bad. But in the end he does normalize the lab so it shouldn't matters too much if u have an easy ta or not. As a person i dont think Pang is that bad..he does try his best to help you out with labs and everything. He is genuinely a nice guy. One time I didn't get a chance to finish my lab and he was okay with it and told me to get data from another student to finish the lab report. He's a very understanding guy...only thing is his exams are HARD!!!!. I do think he's better than Russell..a lot more helpful than Russell. So I would recommend him over Russell. I'm pretty sure you're gonna have to take him now or later so my best advice is to do your best on the lab reports since they're a big part of your grade as for midterm and final...GOOD LUCK!!

I think Dr. Pang is awsome. He's amazingly good at lectures. If you pay attention and listen to what he says in lecture, and then go to his review session, you'll know everything you need to know for his final. He's extremely friendly and always welcoming people to his office hours. Yes, the pre and post labs are a lot of work, but if you do them correctly you'll understand the concepts and the test will come natually to you. Those who don't do well are probably copying old labs and not trying to understand them. Really Dr. Pang's a great professor. His test are not hard, it's the fundamentals that you should know from other classes anyways... His test are really easy if you know the basics. He's a great professor I can't stress this enough.
