Spring 2022 - I had a very positive experience taking Pang for 14CL, especially after hearing horror stories about Henary. The three hour labs 2 times a week honestly sounded overwhelming, however, its not as bad as some weeks it's just one lab that requires possible 4 hours total. Other weeks we didn't even have to meet for the other section or it would only last 1 hour if you were efficient. The pre and post lab reports were a decent amount of work but the midterm and final were very reasonable if you studied all the content. Additionally if you have a good lab TA like I did (king Brandon Jolly), then you should have close to 100% in you lab category. I ended up only needing to get around a 66% on my final to get an A because the requirement for an A is 90%. Professor Pang teaches very clearly, and is one of the last few good chem professors left as the UCLA chem department falls to shambles.
