Although Pang was organized during lecture, he did have an annoying tendency to refer to topics covered in future lectures quite often which could be distracting. His lecture guides were quite helpful for the labs and for studying for exams. However, the review sheets he gives out are quite misleading. I did those thoroughly yet did not do very well on his exams as his questions were worded horribly at times and the questions bore no resemblance to those on his review sheets. Labs aren't difficult, but reports can be tedious.

Overall, Pang isn't too bad, but I really disliked his exams. He also doesn't curve, so you really need to do well in the labs if you want a decent grade and aren't having much luck with his exams.

As a person who is supposed to convey new material to his students, Pang is not that bad. He knows his stuff, and he knows how to make students understand it. However, he is the most hate-inspiring person I've met in a while. On the final, he gives this question that, if you precisely follow his instructions, is impossible to answer. He uses the phrase "DO NOT USE MOLECULAR WEIGHT!" twice in the same problem, but without the use of molecular weight the problem is unsolvable. Of course, he menat a different thing, but why the heck should students worry about that during the final? OK, some professors do not master English or cannot express what they mean clearly in this language. But in this case, they should acknowledge their mistakes. Pang did not do that. Actually, as far as I've heard from other people who had taken his classes before, my case is not unique. This guy just thinks he is always right period. Unfortunately, he is unavoidable, as someone pointed out, so if you have to take his class, know that your grade in his class is largely a matter of luck. If HE makes a mistake, YOU are screwed!!

I got an A on the midterm, and A's on the labs, but somehow i got a B+ in the class- while someone I know got a fail on the midterm got a B in the class...and I looked back on my final score and he closed his grade book all fast saying that he already made the grading distribution....blah!!!

Look i had pang for 20L and i got an A. It was not impossible. It wasn't even all that hard. His tests were fair. I liked Pang. He taught a clear strait forward class. Maybe its different for his other classes but he seemed like a perfectly legitamite level teacher to me.
