Super nice professor and really personable. His tests are heavily weighted and can be tricky. He uses a Platform called Tophat that costs money.

He's a funny dude and enthusiastic about the material. I'm kind of biased because I don't personally like the subject. Pretty easy class though, but you have to attend lectures to answer the TopHat questions for credit. TopHat and the grading criteria were kind of confusing.

Super enthusiastic professor and a great lecturer. He explained complicated topics really well and helped me truly understand the course. The bad reviews on here are mainly because of people salty about their grade— this course and the material in it are simply hard.

Professor Lang is a very energetic and enthusiastic individual and teaches the material fairly well. Very exam heavy (30% and 40% midterm and final) but if you study and prepare enough an A is achievable. Weekly section activities with AI integration as well as weekly practice quizzes that are straightforward. Overall not a bad class at all.

Really great dude! Loved talking to him outside of class and on the class Discord. Overall though I felt as if the lectures were more complicated than they needed to be. Same goes for the midterm and final (30 and 40 percent respectively.) Practice midterm was nothing like the actual version. Overall a good class but the grading is tough.

Ok he's a nice guy but he's not trying to help. He intended to overcomplicate the exam questions by replacing vocabs with the hardest ones, so if you're not a native speaker you probably cooked. No practice questions. Spent so much time on this course, got an average of nearly 90 on my exams and full score on other parts but still didn't get an A.
