This is my first ever bruinwalk review but I felt like I had to write one because the reviews on here doesn’t do Pang justice. He’s a very effective professor and gives little hints to help you memorize stuff while also being funny. Also he prints out the slides for the lectures which makes it easier to follow and take notes since you don’t have to worry about missing important info since most of it is already there (rip the trees tho lol). Pang also gives you a study guide for the midterm and final with solutions like what an angel. The study guide is harder than actual exams so you’ll do well if you just study off of it. The labs are time consuming but the manual gives you step to step directions. Some of the reviews blamed Pang for the structure of the class but it’s a freaking lab of course it’s going to have a heavy workload and every 14bl professor is required to assign those labs. Overall Pang is a real homie and I wish he taught the regular chem classes because I would’ve gotten way better grades with him as the professor

The lecture was pretty boring, almost all the material is a repeat of 14A and 14B. Pang as a professor was pretty awesome though. Nice, personable guy who would occasionally throw out jokes in lecture, but would come back to the point quickly. He prints out copies of his slides for everyone to write on during lecture, which is awesome. I really got the vibe that he cared about his students. During office hours he was pretty chill. Labs were fun if you like hands on stuff. Overall, ok class, good professor.

Dr. Pang is a pretty good professor. Although I don't think I remember much of lecture because I was sleepy at 8 AM on Thursdays. For lab courses, you usually interact more with your TA.

Pros
- Midterm (online) was similar to the problem sets and was straightfoward.
- Labs were concise in terms of instructions
- He's very helpful, kind, and understanding - I went to his office hour once to ask a question about a post-lab report calculation and he made sure to clarify it enough for me
- For the most part, your lab grades should help buffer your grade for the midterm/final
- Lectures were clear and usually had a lot of examples. He would also write on the board to solidify concepts.

Cons
- I think in general, 14BL is notorious for being picky on the graph titles and significant figures. On one of my lab reports, I got 20.5/30 because of this.
- 14BL also is defined by a bunch of busy work - pre-lab and post-lab reports, recording in-lab data on a lab notebook
- Sometimes you may be asked to do a group lab report - this was hit-or-miss depending on who you work with
- Final was very conceptual based and lab-based. I mean this in the sense that on the midterm, it felt more computational/solving problems, but the final asked more questions of "why did this student produce an inaccurate result during the _____ lab". I was slightly thrown off because I expected it to be similar to the midterm. There were a few buffer/acid-base equilibrium pH computation problems though! Most of the final (which was in-person) was Multiple Choice.

Overall, 14BL is a not-so-fun class, but Dr. Pang makes it manageable.

Pretty easy class since most material is review from Chem 14A/B. Midterm was very easy while the final was slightly difficult. Pre- and post-lab reports are easy if you follow directions but are time-consuming since they're hand-written in your lab notebook. There are also some group lab reports which can be annoying to schedule. Pang is a homie though; he prints slides for every lecture and is so cute and funny!

Pang is so nice, engaging, and genuinely cares about student learning. He prints out all the lecture slides so if someone grabs you one you don't really need to go to lecture. Lab attendance and PPE is very strict though. Overall, I would say this class is easy it's just a lot of busy work. Tests are fair and simple if you've taken 14B recently and with a good professor.

Professor Pang was so great. The material is a lot of review from A and B.
The tests can be kind of difficult but the study guides help a lot! The midterm was very similar to the study guide. He answers any questions that you may have and will go over things again in office hours if you need help with it!! 10/10 would recommend to take BL with Pang.

Professor Pang is a truly amazing professor. He has possibly been one of the best professors I have had the pleasure of being taught by. Pang is extremely caring and passionate about his students and their learning and understanding of course material. I always felt welcome asking the simplest of questions and Pang always took the time to explain his answers in depth, yet easy to understand. It is very rare to find a professor who genuinely cares about his students, especially in south campus courses. Pang is a rare exception as he effortlessly incorporates humor and life into a fast paced and naturally difficult class. He also makes communication a priority by continuously emailing students with regards to the labs and course material (even going so far as to email students who did not do so well on his exams). If you are forced to take 14Bl I definitely recommend taking Pang, the course won't be easy, but you'll at least have someone who cares about your success and understanding. Also go to his office hours, he's really nice!

Prof. Pang is so nice and funny and clearly cares about his students. Labs and reports were tedious but mostly just busy work. Fairly easy midterm and final as material is mostly from 14A and B. Definitely recommend this professor and taking it during the summer.

fair class

hard class
