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.

Not particularly memorable - completely average professor. He started off with powerpoints and later started writing down notes. Tests average difficulty and we had weekly mastering physics homework. He was pretty nice and explained nicely but nothing in his class particularly stood out.

Extremely helpful professor Zhongbo Kang! Lectures are clear and he is always willing to help students and very caring. Tests are fair and he takes you effort into account! One of the best physics professor.

Prof.Kang is a really good professor with clear teaching and reasonable exams. He gives the detailed notes, powerpoints and recorded lectures. At the same time, he is super approachable in his office hours and on via campuswire. He also gives a lot of extra credits. One of the best class I've taken in UCLA

He was probably the best physics professor I've had at UCLA. He genuinely cared about his student's learning and that was really clear ever since the first week. He is a clear lecturer, but not the most engaging. He also spends a lot of time during lecture deriving equations but it would've been way more helpful if we actually did examples/sample problems in class. The midterms were really fair and the averages were pretty high both times. The final exam was easy too but it was open book and open notes, so the circumstances are a bit different. Overall though, I would recommend having him for any of the Physics 1 classes.

Kang is the best Physics professor I've had at UCLA. He genuinely cares about student's learning and our grades. The tests are very fair, and it's easy to do well in the class if you keep up with the homework and textbook. I definitely recommend taking him!!
