CollegeShe is a very good lecturer and explains concepts clearly. Her tests are difficult, but with enough self-studying, practice problems, and CLAS, you will definitely be able to do well. Make sure you understand the problems conceptually and don't just go through the motions.
Bree Lang is truly the best Econ Professor I have encountered at UCSB. I am not someone that Econ comes naturally to, but Professor Lang is able to explain these complex topics extremely well in lectures. Tests are hard and much more graph/conceptual than tests from previous years, but she sets you up. UCSB Econ needs more professors like her.
Easily 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
