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.

This guy has a hard grading scale on labs and calibrated peer review compared to the other professors. Soil project report takes forever due to all of the error analysis. unfortunately he will be the only one teaching 20l and 30al for a very long time based on past quarter records. Took 20l and30al with him. If anyone wants 20l labs and helpful bonuses, am selling. *************
