Mr. Kang is very caring and always listens to students' feedback. His style of teaching guides students step by step and in an organized manner.
Best professor i have ever had
amazing human being, very supportive and caring and his class is a joy to be in!!! plus hes hilarious and you will learn a lot.
He is a great professor because he willing to listen to the students
He teaches very well and is easy to understand. The class wasn't too hard as he makes sure everyone understands and he's an amazing person
Mind blowing professor 10/10 would recommend.
Professor Kang is a very kind and flexible teacher. He is organized and takes the time to work with you, making lecture and lab very stress free. I would recommend taking classes with him. You will understand and do well if you do your work.
He is nice friendly and patient
Super awesome guy and full of funny jokes. Very flexible and passionate in what he does best, teaching.
This professor is very funny and is very easy going. Overall it is a fun class to take.
Amazing teacher who cares about students. Helps students when they need help.
A very helpful organized flexible professor , he is always go step by step , and supports while training.
super freaking awesome best teacher ever!!!!!!1
Mr. Kang is a wonderful instructor. He seeks pleasure in his students in overcoming obstacles he places in front of them. He understands the capacity in everyone of his students.
Not sure what to say but it was a really good experience. To be honest Im a hard head. I have a block in my head when it comes to science classes, and math as well. So I honestly thought I wasn't going to pass, but the way he explains the material makes you get what he's talking about. And he actually lets us do labs during lab time.
Ruled by the students, not the teacher
Very nice and democratic, gives students a lot of leeway in how they wan to work. Also very funny.
Mr. Kang is a great professor in almost every regard. He is very organized and teaches his students step by step. The fact that he takes feedback from his students and implements it immediately is one of his best aspects. In short, he listens, is organized, and is very caring.
best teacher ever
Just finished this class CSCI8. Pretty cool guy, very understandable, very flexable. Will take him again if he teaches any class that related to my field
Great teacher! Really likes to go out of his way for his students. I didn't have the book for his class and he was kind enough to let me borrow his book. Very nice & caring about his students. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
He's not a tough grader at all and for the most part this class isn't hard. He allows you to do the homework in class. He also allowed the class to use our books during midterm/final/quizzes; gives the option to take at home. Call him because he doesn't respond to emails. This class looks at Microsoft, PowerPoint, excel, etc. on a deeper level.
Nice class . He helps student and answer their questions.
Professor Kang is an AWESOME teacher. I am thankful to be fortunate enough to learn from his outstanding skills and curriculum. He not only helps you grasp the information that he is teaching, but he allows EACH and every student the opportunity to succeed in his class. Of course you have to work for it, but he makes it worth working for!
EASY A!!! take him if you need A+
Easy A best teacher at Chabot.
Fun teacher, cares about your future, has a strong sense of humor.
oh my god this guy is the best, he really tries his best in helping you understing the concepts taught in this class loves to connect with students, will recommend
Manny was very fair throughout the semester with multiple extra credit opportunities as well as fair grading. Is willing to put in work for students that put in work, highly recommended!
One of the best profs. Really care about his students.
Clear and straightforward lectures, lenient with assignments, and helpful
Show Up and pass
I will definitely take him again next semester.
nice teacher!
Great teacher. Easy A. Just show up and show effort.
Nice and caring teacher
He has like 10 degrees. He knows his stuff and makes sure you get it too.
Good teacher.
Here's very flexible and eager to teach his students.
This class is what you make of it! The teacher is attentive and caters to those that desire to learn the subject matter. He excels at educating at just what should be expected in this industry as well as how it can be adapted to our non-tech interests.
Good class, a lot of independent work. Would recommend.
Extremely thick accent, pretty difficult to understand unless you're familiar with Indian or middle eastern accents. His lectures consist of reading off his powerpoints, a lot of my classwork consisted of copying and pasting examples from the book. You have to either have previous knowledge of the course and be either motivated or a quick learner.
Mr. Kang was an amazing teacher. He is very flexible. He really cares for his students. He is very helpful and he is also very lenient with all of the assignments. He has a very good sense of humor. Just take it easy.
AWESOME CLASS! I LEARNED SO MUCH!
Gives a lot of extra credit opportunity.
Manjit Kang is a very caring professor. He would slow down the content if you ask. Also, he is willing to help his students. If you are stuck, ask your classmates first before you ask him because he likes to see his students working together.
Teaches to the textbook! The big group project was to make an app for Android--which is Java, yes, but he teaches literally none of it. Took an extra online class to pass. He DOES set you up with free extracurricular resources and highly encourages self-teaching. Often wouldn't answer my questions b/c I should "find out myself." (Came of as lazy.)
He is a great teacher that really listens to his students. Just keep in mind that regardless of what teacher you get if you want to learn more you can do that in your free time. Your learning should only be from the amount of time you spend in class but outside of class as well.
Amazing professor, the course was well taught and even as a Saturday course he did an excellent job in livening the environment. Everyone had a good time learning and the mood really helped in retainning the information. There was plenty of hands on opportunity to test your knowledge.
Mr. Manny is the best professor, highly recommended taking CS41-42 with him, He is very helpful and very understandable, he tries the best to show you the right way to solve your problems rather then just giving you the answers, thank you Mr manny, its been pleasure knowing you
I have a lot of respect for Manny teaching style. He is helpful and covers topic I think are important to gaining knowledge in the subject area. He encourages self teaching and learning, but gives you the guidance on the important subject area. He is knowledgeable and very accomodating to helping students learn and grow.
Best professor, very helpful , listen to students and most of the work done in class
Best professor, very helpful , listen to students and most of the work done in class. Super flexible with due dates for assignments.
Great professor and he is very understanding. Definitely flexible with when we can turn in assignments and flexible when we can take our quizzes. He motivates students to strive for the better not just in class but also for the future.
Great professor who wants to help you succeed. Tries his best to encourage you to do well and very flexable when it comes to completing assignments. He enjoys his work and loves to help his students become successful. Would definately recommend anyone to take his class.
Manny knows the content of the class and was very helpful
Prof. Kang is truly the form of the ultimate perfect professor. While being a great teacher, and knowing how to teach his computer science students not only the learning material but how to learn by themselves as well, he is the nicest professor I have ever had. Caring and friendly, Kang will make sure you are smiling when finishing the class.
One of the best Professors at Chabot/Las Positas College. He wants to help you succeed and learn the topic he is covering. He is very flexable when it comes to assignment due dates and works with you to make sure you dont fall behind. I would definitely recommand Mr. Kang to any student.
He is an awesome teacher very organized, great presentation, motivational. I personally learned lots of new stuff. Especially in our final project which was web development. Thank you
Tough class but he makes it easy.
Very nice professor. Really teaches well. He is very knowledgeable.
He is Great and organize learned a lot!
Professor wants to make sure we are learning and be successful in our future. Keeps the positive learning environment during class.
I enjoyed the class a lot. He provides a lot of help and the class has a structure that lets you learn without pressure.
Very organized and he makes a hard class easy. He cares a lot about his students and is flexible with their schedules.
Makes learning the material a breeze.
Great and simple class!
Manny Kang is very great professor. He provides you the lot of credit opportunity. Also, he willing to help all students to improve. He would like to work together in all class students. I highly recommended taking CSCI-19A class with him.
Great teacher. Would highly recommend to any student who is looking to apply for a java class. One of the most understanding teachers Ive ever had.
I took this class online and I wish I took it in person. The class is simple reading from a textbook which cost $100 and needing to buy a program online which is another $100. When you can just get the PDF for free. He gives everyone feedback in discussions so everyone will understand.
Professor Kang's number one concern is his students. He is very flexible with weekly assignment due dates if you have a valid reason that's holding you back from submitting it. The only caution I have is that even if the assignments seem relatively easy, they only scratch the surface for the quizzes and tests. It's imperative to read the books.
Manny was an incredible professor. He is compassionate, patient, and humble; his attitude and approach are truly inspiring. He fosters an environment of honesty, camaraderie, and humor. If you get the chance, TAKE HIS CLASS; I've never enjoyed a computer science class this much.
During the pandemic, stressing about Grades and future transfers, fortunately taking this gem of a professor who continues to motivate us to keep working hard, and promises we don't have to worry if we do our best. He takes good care his students, and is always willing to help. I did poorly on his midterm, but kept trying to get an A, to the end.
He's a very nice and funny professor. There are weekly quizzes, but they're straightforward. Just read the textbook and do the assignments, and you'll be fine.
Overall good experience and would definitely take another course taught by Mr. Manny. If you have questions or don't understand something just ask and he will do his best to clarify and he makes himself available to his students.
During the Covid-19 crisis I had a difficult time adjusting and when I reached out to him, he was very understanding and helped me stay on track.
During the COVID19 pandemic, Professor Kang was amazing. He was super understanding of all the students' problems and held helpful office hours every week. Make sure to go through his lectures and you'll be fine. Homework and quizzes every week but not too difficult. Highly recommend taking a class with Professor Kang!
This professor is very organized, very well adjusted to the online teaching. Would definitely take him again and recommend to everyone.
Manny is the most kind CS professor I've ever taken; hes compassionate, patient, and an absolute joy to interact with.
He is forgiving and will give extentions without a second thought. He will always take time to explain things to you to make sure you understand. He is here for the students and he shows that in his class! I really recommend taking his class.
Nice Class! Great professor!
He is the best professor i have ever met so far, I really enjoy his teaching style and his commitment to the student.
Took the CSCI19A class over the summer, and Professor Manny was great. He was very accessible. The lectures were great and easy to understand. The assignments were not too challenging and really helped me understand the material. I would definitely take again, and recommend to anyone.
Greatest CS professor within Bay Area. You will not regard it. Very caring about student success. He will also help you with the recommendation letter.
Kang really cares about his students and makes it very clear he wants to help you succeed in his class. Make sure you do your assignments and you are sure to pass the class. Do not be afraid to talk to him about any problems because he will go out of his way to help you. Best professor I've ever come across.
Prof Kang is definitely an understanding professor that cares a lot about his students' success. Very easy to approach and would definitely take him again.
Probably the nicest and most laid back professor I've ever taken. He genuinely cares about his students and their well being. He's always willing to extend deadlines if more time is needed. He's extremely intelligent and really knows what he is teaching. He provides very detailed lecture slides loaded with good examples. TAKE HIS CLASS! :)
Overall good class to learn the basics of Linux. The professor is very flexible, despite the super long hours, it is only one day per week class. I would recommend it for anyone who needs to take this as a requirement or is interested in learning about the basics of Linux/Ubuntu.
Professor Kang is an Amazing teacher. He really cares about the students. He listens to the students and wants you to pass. Just do the homework and you show pass.
Great professor
Good teacher. Easily explains subject and helps when needed
Simple, straight forward class. Just do the work.
Prof Kang is very understanding and has great lectures on the basics of UNIX. One class a week and he is very easy to approach outside of class. Definitely would recommend.
I had the csci7 in the last spring semester. This semester, I took csci41, He always help me when I late homework and he gonna change the due. He is willing to answer your question as fast as possible. You just need to read the book and take a quiz, these questions are in the book. Hw is also easy. It is the best computer science I have taken.
Best professor at Chabot college! Was very polite and knowledgeable throughout the whole course. He was very hands on in the class and helped students with problems. Would recommend 100%!!!
His a good professor who listen to his student. Very considering and flexible. I took his class and he is great!! Very well organized and I learned a lot from this.
He provides PDFs that you can catch up with the class easily. Quizzes and discussions are really helpful. You can read other students' answers and the professors additional questions if you are stuck on the discussion topics. Quizzes are easy to do if you read the PDF and the provided online free book. He answers all of your questions.
Professor Kang is very helpful outside class. He makes things very clear and is flexible with due dates. He understands that we are busy and truly wants us to succeed. I hope to take another class with him soon!
Good professor, work is easy to do and is willing to help students with their questions
Professor Kang is very helpful.
I had the pleasure of having Professor Kang as an instructor in two different classes this semester and it was a real pleasure as he cared enormously about the evolution of each of his students in his classes and dispenses his classes so that he would be easily understood by all, The help and follow-up he brings to everyone are great.
Great professor! Very flexible and understanding
Really nice Professor, very flexible for students in need of help.
straight forward class. lectures help but you can rewatch them and the book helps a lot. weekly lab and discussions but graded very easily
The Professor is very nice and cares for his students. He is very flexible by having office hours but also being able to schedule a different time if needed. I will always look for his name when searching for future classes. His lectures are very thorough, nice formatted, and easy to understand.
Professor Kang is very flexible when it comes to accommodating the needs of his students. He enjoys interacting with his students and helping us succeed. His flexibility and availability to respond to questions make it easy to do well in his class. I would recommend taking Prof. Kang and I would take another class with him, given the opportunity.
it's just copy-pasting programs 90% of the time. didn't even help us set up the compiler, only knew what I was doing cause I already had a bit of a programming background.
Very accessible outside of class, even gives his personal number, and responds to any questions. Clearly cares a lot about his students and is passionate. One of the most flexible and helpful professors I've ever had.
Very reasonable grading. Loves to help his students and ensures we work in team environment like in a real job. Will answer questions to best help you out to understand material.
This is an easy class and prepares you for the world as a software dev.
Professor Kang was very helpful throughout the semester. He has been very accommodating through online learning. Would def. take his class again.
I took Professor Kang for CSCI14 in the fall semester 2021 and passed with an A. The professor was great in always providing resources to his students and went as far as giving him personal contact information if a student needed help. He was incredibly patient and waited for all the students to understand what was being taught before proceeding.
He does a great job of explaining the material and also genuinely cares about the progress of his students. He also asks whether you understand the lesson, and is willing to give more examples and additional help.
Very understanding and willing to help when you have any problems.
He was amazing showed up to class everyday with a smile on his face and was in-depth with every lecture
I had a great time working with Professor Kang. He's always helpful to his students and accommodates our needs. He wants us to learn, so he encourages us to ask questions. If you need help with assignments even outside class, he'll be happy to help you.
Nice.
This class was very straightforward and the professor was extremely kind and supportive of the students.
Professor Kang is a great Professor who tries to help his students succeed. His lecture slides are pretty good and if you have any questions about the course material you can ask him. The class is not test heavy and you mostly write programs from the lecture slides and review them. He is clear in his lecture slides and the labs reflect what taught.
We used an online textbook called MyLab Programming specifically for the practice problems, it was $50~$60. All of the lecture slides are available on canvas as well as the practice programs. Professor Kang cares a lot about his students and tries to make decisions that are in his students best interests. Ask him questions if you are confused.
At times he moves very fast through the lecture slides, but he will happily stop or slow down to answer any questions anyone might have. Overall a great class.
Professor was very willing to work with students! If you had a problem, all you had to do was communicate with him. I struggled with computer science but he made learning it much easier. We have to buy an online Pearson program, but lets us download a pdf for the actual textbook.
He's an easy grader, just do the tests and the homework online.
Manny is a great teacher and listens to his students. He gives great advice! Classes are lecture based with post discussions, short quizzes, and homework programming.
Manny is a great teacher and gives great advice! Classes are lecture based, post discussions, short quizzes and programming homework.
This was an information heavy class, but professor Kang was able to break it down very well. I had a hard time turning in all of my assignments as and athlete, but he was very understanding and helped me through the semester.
He is a very understanding teacher. You will learn a lot.
Very good professor and very funny. Great class for beginners.
Prof. Kang is probably one of the most reassuring and reliant professors. His group work activities are fun and engaging, but he is also very straight to the point. He teaches with a formulated format and has presentations to go with every chapter/unit. Overall great classroom experience.
Overall is really nice guy not really anything that I can complain to be honest.
if he is an option, take his class. he really cares about his students and will go out of his way to help them. he also gives great advice and overall the best.
This class was very enjoyable.
This professor is very lenient and responsive if you are not able to complete an assignment on time, or not able to attend class. His lectures are very informative and easy to follow. Gives lots of time for extra help outside of class. I recommend this teacher if you are looking for an easy A.
Professor Kang is very inspiring. He truly cares about the learning and development of his students. He is very knowledgeable and at times can go quickly but he is very open to questions. 10/10
Take this class if you do not want to learn anything from the professor. He does not teach. His lectures are just reading from slides and he never explains or goes over the hw. I will be retaking this class somewhere else to actually learn c++. If you are looking for an easy A and a nice professor to give you a pep talk, take him.
I learned nothing from his class. When I walked into CS15 I realized I didn't learn anything on programming. It was awful that I had to learn everything all over again. It was wasted of time to take Kang. If you only wish to receive an A for a class but do not care if you will learn any materials, take him!
Listen, he's nice, but not a great instructor. Good for students looking to get an easy A, nothing more. You will learn nothing. If you have questions in class you will be instructed to google them, which takes away the point of paying and attending a live class if you are just going to end up googling everything. No feedback for tests/work too.
Are you a student genuinely interested in learning CS? This class & instructor are NOT for you. Are you a student interested in just getting an A in a CS class? This class & instructor are PERFECT for you. There you have it, folks. Fyi most of the positive ratings are not real ratings. Take this instructor with caution.
I didn't like his teaching style. learned nothing from this class
There is basically nothing to be learned in his course. His lectures are boring, but his classes are easy to pass.
He doesn't respond to emails at all, so you need to attend his office hours. This class canvas was super unorganized; there were unpublished, locked assignments that would constantly be marked as missing. Otherwise, this class was an easy A, as long as you do the work. I didn't learn anything. Discussion prompts were kind of redundant.
He acts like he cares about his students but his lectures are lazy and rushes through difficult topics. literally the worst professor I've had. I really hope he reads this and understands how bad of a teacher he is - he is a literal roadblock for students wanting to learn Comp Sci. Like seriously, he should be ashamed. Chabot needs to do better.
Professor Kang is really passion in teaching and he gives good advices. He is humorous and the best thing is that he replies you in 24 hours.
Very Caring and Respectful.
This classs very easy but the lecture notes are sometime not there. i think reading the book is much more better because it more understandable.
ill say it was a good class manny is a good teacher
Professor was fair and understanding of student's situations. I learned many new things in this class about UNIX.
He is very kind and ready to help with any problem you have. Don't hesitate to ask him for help.
This professor is really a caring person. He gave us his phone number and email at the beginning of the year and told us we could contact him whenever we needed. He gives great lectures and let us choose as a class if we wanted to take the midterm and final at home on canvas or in person in the class. He just wants to see our smiling faces!
listens to what the students want to make them happy. homework based on textbook but takes up to 10 minutes to do it. really easy and respects students
Professor Kang is one of the most caring professors I have taken in my time at Chabot. He is by far the most dedicated Computer Science instructor in the department, and is much more comprehensive in his teaching style than. He really helps you understand the course content. Would definitely take again!
Always willing to help students if they reach out. A lot of self-study but I recommend his class if you're willing to put the work in.
amazing professor. I would definitely take his classes if they are any of the future ones I take. most teachers don't really care but he cares a lot about his students and makes sure that they understand the material. does a great job with lectures and makes it easy to understand. he is always in a good mood which creates an amazing environment
teacher respects students and always tries to keep them satisfied. would let them decide if they want to have online or in person tests/quizzes. really easy class and highly recommended
Very nice and caring.
This professor is very caring and kind to his students and makes sure they understand the topic taught in class. He goes out of his way to make students happy and inspires them to be better.
Passionate for the subject, teaching, and learning.
Manny is a great professor. His lectures are easy to understand and easy to access. If you ever need help on anything, he will be there for you.
I enjoyed taking this course and I am certain you will do too.
Professor Kang's hybrid course was very easy to understand and the material was also easy. We use textbooks but it's either free or low price. I took this course for credit and would take again another class with his teaching style. He gives demos during his lecture that is also easy to follow and the homework always correlates with his lectures.
Not very tech-savy for a CS prof. He is somewhat available via phone but doesn't explain concepts well. He lectures straight from the slides with snapshots of code. Pretty useless participation discussions. HW was sometimes frustrating bc I relied on learning from other resources. Tests would've been fine if he had taught better. Didn't learn much.
This was a nice unix learning class and you can also take it.
He listens to his students opinions, and asks them if they're comfortable whether the task is given. If I moved on to the next level of computer programming, I'd choose him as my professor again.
The tests from an introductory Python course was not difficult. If you decide to use online sources to complete assignments and tests. I'd say its valid and you should only use so much to benefit your own learning if you want to genuinely want to start programming. Good overall professor! Would take his online course again!
Good programming learning class.
Great teacher that cares about his students and making sure they are happy. He bought us pizza for the last class and let us take quizzes and finals from home.
Kang is a very kind and generous professor. I felt at ease asking him questions as he's very easy to talk to. Thank you for teaching CS41 class!
AMAZING professor! Truly cares about his students and is super nice! He always made sure we understood the material, and even provided in-class examples to help further our understanding. Thank you for teaching CS41 class!
Professor cares about his students and makes sure that they understand topics before moving on. Lectures are easy to understand and goes very much into detail.
