CollegeEasily the best Econ professor I've had at UCSB (took her for ECON 194s). Articulate, personable, smart...and actually good at teaching. If every professor were like Bree, the department would be 10X better.
Professor Lang is a great teacher if you attend the lecture. Some questions on the midterm and final were from the lecture slides. Would recommend!
Professor Bree Lang is hands-down the BEST professor I have ever had. She wants to help you succeed, yet she still makes her tests challenging enough to push you. She is so caring and level-headed, and a hugely positive addition to the UCSB economics department. 100B is brutal no matter what, but any class is better if Bree Lang is teaching it.
Best 100B professor to take
Bree is super fun and I wanted to like her. Unfortunately her tests were designed VERY POORLY. Questions felt AI generated (numerous typos, only peripherally related to all the practice exams/in-class problems, zero review) and so grading came down to guessing strategy. I wish she gave us actually relevant / more material + improved her tests. :(
Really good teacher and person. Practice problems she does in lecture are very similar (IN CONCEPT NOT PROBLEM) to exams
