CollegePoorly made lectures, poorly made textbook which he wrote and makes you pay for (side hustle), useless section which is always rushed, midterm miles harder than practice midterm. He seems nice but I hated this class. I took AP macro and this is my worst grade at ucsb.
great professor who cares about his students. very test heavy with only one midterm and a final being 75% of the grade but tests are fair if you put in the effort. not a lot of homework and lectures are interesting. definitely take advantage of office hours
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.
