Wonderful professor: extremely clear in his lecture and helpful in office hour.

Pros: To the point in lecture...nice to talk to...hands out nice powerpoins.

Cons: Insane work load for a 3 credit class. I mean two written exams and a ton of lab writeups plus a 4 part writing assingment is ridiculous for this class. Handouts and instructions are impossible to read because they're half highlighted and random colors and all caps. Extremely easy to miss details and get marked down. Tests are easy conceptually, just nit picked to the nth degree by neurotic graders - if your answer is not word for word what the grading rubric says, sorry buddy, you're not getting the points. 50-60% of this class is busywork.

I think the only reason why I did well in this class was because I had a super chill TA who didn't really care about a lot of small details, but I really didn't like Pang as an instructor. He's not completely horrible, but the final was definitely not a very fair test. The midterm was a lot more bearable. If you can get almost all of the points on the lab reports and get ~80% on the midterm and final, you should be able to get an A in the class. His class averages are usually ~85%, and the class is uncurved since it is purely based on the amount of points you earn.

Pang gives out his slides during lecture and these are REALLY useful. However, the packets have blanks in them that you have to fill in yourself when you go to lecture. So make sure you show up on time, get a packet, and fill in all the blanks because you'll need the packets for the labs and tests.

Your experience in any lab class is largely dependent on your TA. I had a bitchy TA who was super picky about everything and graded harshly. My friend had a chill TA who was really nice and graded easily. But in the end, Pang normalizes all the grades so it really depends on how well you do compared to others in your lab section.

The easiest way to do well in a lab class is to use older labs as reference. Get some, and you'll be fine.

Before actually starting 20L, I heard horrible things about this class, partly based on the more negative reviews on Pang.

Nevertheless, I must say that I do not regret taking Chemistry 20L with Pang. Yes, the labs take a long time (especially the Chemical Kinetics and Beer's Law ones) but Pang is a straightforward lecturer who, despite his accent (which is not that bad) does make sense when he tries to relay chemistry concepts to the class. In my opinion, he was the best professor I had last quarter, and I was bummed when he didn't receive a round of applause when the final class was finished.

Tips for the class:
1. RECORD Pang's lectures. I listened to most of his podcasts before his exams and that really helped me.
2. Know Beer's Law. If it pops on his midterm, it will be on the final again most likely, and if it's somehow not on his midterm, it will definitely be on the final.
3. For his exams, this is his format: Pang gives you a convoluted situation with a lot of jargon that may scare you at first, but look for the main idea and what the question is asking for, and you will be fine.
4. Do his study guides. Although his exams focus more on applications, knowing the study guide concepts help you understand the basics better.
5. Get previous labs. They help immensely.
6. Make sure you have a good TA that is also a nice person; my TA really got on my nerves so just watch out.
7. Go over Pang's lecture notes; Doing this concurrently with listening to his recorded lectures will help.
8. Go to Pang's office hours! He is quite helpful and nice. Every time I asked him a question, he gave a response that answered my questions well. His concern for his students is satisfactory. Also, Pang never came across as rude or arrogant, which is a plus.

Good luck to you all. Pang gets a bad reputation, but he is a good professor who does care about his students.
