CollegeGoated professor. Econ 2 final was significantly more difficult than the midterm, but he graded very easily on everything else. Great professor who actually cares about the students.
so enthusiastic but that final was made by the devil himself. never studied, little to no work during the week, but the final will make you weep.
Professor Lang is an amazing professor! Go to his lectures, which are very engaging, and sections. Majority of grade is the exams but he is a fair tester and provides great practice. The project is on your own so DON'T PUT IT OFF TIL THE LAST WEEK. If you go to lectures and sections and are an active participant you will be successful in the class.
Great explainer of complicated topics, difficult final. Loved learning from him
Really enjoyed this course. Matthew is a great lecturer and homework was pretty minimal. Midterm was really easy but the final was pretty hard I got 38/50 even though I got 29/30 on the midterm. Most of the work is really easy, so the final being difficult was a little shocking but overall really enjoyed this course and the sections are easy too.
He is a good professor and does well in lectures. He's very nice and sweet, especially if you go to office hours and walking hours. He did have a hard final this quarter but I think it's because he is still adjusting to UCSB and the department forces him to put a curve on the whole class so that no more than a percentage of people pass. Great guy.
