A decent professor who does a good job at getting the point of the material across, through examples and by answering any questions students have. He sometimes did in class quizzes which were really just "are you paying attention?" type quizzes, but they helped reinforce what we were learning. He is very reasonable about due dates of homework and in grading exams - one midterm there wasn't enough time for, the other was really easy, and the final was probably a little long as everyone stayed the entire 3 hours. The only annoying part of the class was that there really wasn't one single book that contained everything we needed. A good course reader would have been useful, though he does post lecture notes online. All in all, Professor Igo is great for upper div physics, so don't be afraid to take him for that.

Fall 2023 - 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.
