Taken during quarantine. This class is actually a fair bit of work for a lab. Its not hard, but its probably about 5-6 hours per week. All the assignments are super clear in their requirements and its pretty easy to get full points. The lab reports are a little boring cuz its literally watching a video of someone doing the lab and then writing a report off that. It requires effort to get an A, but if you dont try you could easily get a B+ at lowest. Homie Johnny Pang would give extensions on homework if there was an exam going on in 20B on the same day. I wasnt even in 20B but everyone got the extentions which was just a cool move by my man. It Covers mainly acids and bases with a few other simple topics sprinkled in.

During Winter 2021, this class was virtual and I felt like his class was pretty good. The lectures were asynchronous and pretty helpful in my opinion. There was also a workshop (discussion) which had mandatory attendance every week.
There was one homework assignment per week, based on the lecture, which was about 10 questions. They usually were pretty straightforward which is nice. There was also one VLR (virtual lab room) report per week, which was tougher and longer. We had to watch some videos and basically do a lab. They weren't too bad, but he is very picky about significant figures, so be careful with them. Checking answers with others also definitely helped me.
The midterm was pretty long but pretty straightforward. It covered what we had already done and was fair.
I would take this class again and would reccomend it to others as well.

Pang is pretty chill. Just do your work on time and you'll be fine. For the midterm the questions were straight off the study guide, make sure you do that. The final was harder, he put really stupid specific stuff on it from specific experiments so you have to like memorize the steps from lab. Overall though he's a good guy and a good teacher. I only went to OH once but he was helpful. If you email him he'll get back to you. I would recommend him.

Professor Pang is extremely helpful! The lab sections were well-run and organized. Pang always had clear and helpful office hours and lecture notes. Only thing is this class is a lot of work with the weekly lab reports but the course material isn't too difficult!

Highly recommend. Labs are 3 hours each week, and you must attend each one and be on time. You turn in pre-labs and post-labs pretty much every week, which take some time but are very easy to do well on if you juts follow directions. Expect to put in about 4-8 hours of work on the reports each week. The lecture notes were helpful for the exams, but are not necessary or mandatory. The exam was very easy in my opinion, especially since all the questions on it were very similar or identical to questions on the study guide. I believe the average for the midterm was a medium to high B, and the final was an 83%. However, the final was optional because of the coronavirus this quarter. The lab reports and exams counted about the same overall for the class. 75% of the class got either an A or an A-. This class is very well structured, very clear, and easy to get an A in if you just follow directions.

Such an easy class with Pang! The workload is honestly really annoying - just a bunch of busy work, and the TAs grade the lab reports pretty meticulously, but a 90 or above is considered an A in this class, so as long as you try, you can get an A. The midterm is really straightforward and so is the final, and they are both really similar to the study guides Pang releases. I found many of the actual labs to be quite boring and tedious (i.e. pipetting water and countless titrations), so I just honestly got through them as quickly as possible during the lab section. Most labs don't take the full 3 hours, which is also really nice!

Take this class with Pang! His lectures are helpful (though I definitely skipped out on about half of them), tests are easy, and lab reports are straightforward. Follow the instructions on the guidelines and you'll be good. Just don't fall behind or start the reports the night before they're due, they can take a while.

For the exams, just study the study guides and you won't have to worry.

Definitely recommend Professor Pang! Great guy that cares about all his students. He would come in during every one of my lab sessions and sometimes I would talk to him (and I was starstruck every time!!!).

Dr. Pang is a wonderful, wholesome, and caring professor. He was able to make my 8AM lecture engaging with the occasional jokes and bruin pride reference! He also made packets for us that we just needed to fill in some blank information in order to follow along with the lecture which was very helpful when I had to miss a lecture. Also, the midterm exam and the study guide correlated really well, which I really appreciated. The study guide covered what would be on the midterm and the exam wasn't too difficult or easy. This was by far one of the best courses I have taken so far. I highly recommend!!

Great professor; cares about student learning and is fun and engaging in lecture. Make sure to turn in work on time and to follow instructions, and the class will be just fine

If you simply do the work and put in effort, it's pretty easy to get an A in the class. I never went to office hours, but from what I've heard, Pang is pretty helpful. The lab report guidelines are clear and detailed, so if you follow the instructions, there is no reason why you shouldn't get an A. If you are able to do the study guide he posts for the midterms and finals, you'll be fine for the tests. The labs usually don't take the full 3 hours, and I've even gotten out of lab 1.5 hours early a few times. Overall, this class is pretty straightforward.
