Dr.Kang gets way too much hate. She does really care about her students. She is super helpful during office hours and wants her students to do the best they can in the class. The only time I've seen her refuse to help students is when they are constantly on their phone during class. All the wants is for you to pay attention.

Kang 108 is not an easy class. There is a quiz every week but you are able to retake it if you do bad. She is not an easy teacher but is available outside of the classroom.

She isn't mean, she is just straightforward. I loved her. The content isn't hard and she does a great job of explaining/giving examples. Class is very structured/light with homework and a quiz at the beginning of each week and she gives you many EC opportunities and is always available. But, I would say taking calc in hs definitely helped me

Look, Dr. Kang is a nice lady. But from what I have experienced in her class is that she moves way too fast for students, and she can't speak good english. Now imagine not being good at calculus and having to try and understand her speak. She is not helpful with questions either and won't fully comprehend whatever you ask.I would not recommend.

Perhaps the worst teacher I have ever had. Doesn't speak correct english and teaches way too fast. I went to her office hours, and she still couldn't help. Please, for the sake of your grade, don't take her.

She may come across as strict, but she is always there to help if she knows you're putting in effort. Lots of extra credit, bad grades are often dropped, and she has lots of time for office hours. Just make sure you're putting in effort and she's more than happy to help you succeed. Great teacher.

For my first semester in college, Dr. Kang was not a pleasant surprise. Her thick Korean accent makes lecture practically impossible to understand and she holds grudges on students who miss class and will refuse to teach material from that day even in her office hours. It's almost like she's praying on your downfall. Avoid taking.

Class was pretty easy. Only 3 exams and you don't need to take the final. The class is out of 103% so it's pretty easy to get an A. Just don't be stupid and you'll be fine. Pretty nice professor and helps in office hours.

Kang gets a bad rep for no reason. She is the best. If you pay attention and show you actually care she will like you. Also attend her office hours with questions and do good on exams bc the final is optional! Class is so easy

Dr. Kang gets so much hate for absolutely no reason. The only complaint you could give is her thick accent, but if you actually pay attention this is easily a non-factor 99% of the time. She actually added two additional office hours per week due to high demand. If you care, she will like you and help you, and you will do well.

Can't understand what she says in class, she will say everything that you learned in high school was wrong or not to her level. If the question you ask is simple but you don't understand something she says than she will say she already said that or this is elementary level. Her office hours are good and are useful to go.

She is a teller not a teacher. She understands math really good but can not teach it at all. If you enjoy learning different calculus topics by yourself on your own time, this professor is for you as it will not be comprehended during the class time. Like at all.

Dr. Kang is extremely nice and wants her students to succeed. She gets a lot of hate because her accent can be hard to understand if you do not pay attention, but if you really listen it is not bad at all. She gives a ton of extra credit and drops a lot of grades. Final is optional and it is an easy A if you took calc in high school.

shes incredibly rude and expects you to just know how to do everything and if you dont get it you are too "slow" or "dumb" and if you miss any classes shes not udnerstanding and will refuse to help you in extra credit also only likes it her way so you cant get help elsewhere.

RUN DON'T WALK!!! Prof. Kang is one of the worst professors at PC. She picks and chooses who she wants to help and if you're not one of them good luck! Has intense mood swings and takes it out on her students. It's her way or the highway. In all my years of schooling, I've never experienced such an unpleasant educator.
