Professor Kang is incredibly condescending and spends a good portion of class time reminding students that they are nothing without a PhD. While I think he is knowledgeable on the subject matter, his attitudes and biases detract significantly from the classroom environment. Further, good luck if you have an extenuating circumstance or a job interview that requires flexibility, Professor Kang does not care, does not treat students as adults, and will insinuate that you will use his leniency to cheat. I personally feel like Professor Kang is lacking in professionalism and some real world understanding. Homework was easy, tests were harder.

Professor Kang is one of the nicest and most understanding professors I've ever taken. His class is one of the easiest physics classes I've taken during undergrad, and it is also extremely interesting. The grading scheme is composed of homework, a midterm, and a final. The homework was fair overall and most of the time was solvable by understanding the lectures. The midterm and final were both extremely fair and very representative of the homework problems. Overall Kang's nuclear class alleviated a lot of stress that I had in the fall and made for a very enjoyable experience. He is truly a gem of the UCLA Physics department.

Dr. Kang is special. I highly advise you take physics 124 with him if you get the chance. It’s a low stress environment where you will get the opportunity learn super cool things. The course is easy overall with the way he does things.

He is VERY fair for exams, not making them difficult to where the average is a failing grade. I believe the average for our midterm was around a high 80 (88 or something). He does not curve the class, which is no problem with how fair he is overall. The grading is generous and the TA is great.

Dr Kang is a very kind person and clearly loves to help you out. He is highly concerned about learning and cares for the students. He is one of a kind and unlike many UCLA physics professors.

My favorite professor thus far.
