Winter 2020 - Professor Kang is considered to be one of the best physics professors I have taken at UCLA. He is engaging and very helpful with students. He is great at explaining his view and the subject well but you need to go to his office hours. His office hours are very helpful. Use that time to talk about the subject and HW. His TA Reddy is extremely helpful as well for he doesn't rest with Professor Kang to provide the best quality teaching for the students. Professor Kang is constantly developing to be a better professor for all students alike. Here are the stats: Midterms: 20% each. There are two midterms. Evaluation: 1% Discussion Worksheet: 3% HW Mastering Physics: 16% Final: 40% All these stats can change due to the survey he does throughout the quarter. Depend on that survey he will work towards benefiting you as much as he can. So don't be rude when you get a bad midterm grade. Just make sure to work hard and do your best. Oh and he takes efforts into your grade. Good luck!

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.
