ECON140A . Lang B J 21 Days Ago

The BEST Econ professor ever! She explains concepts SUPER WELL (makes difficult concepts INCREDIBLY UNDERSTANDABLE) and is ALWAYS accessible in her office hours. She's very willing to help you in any way she can and her exams are VERY REASONABLE as long as you put in the work and understand the INTUITIONS! Super funny and outgoing. ALWAYS TAKE HER!

She 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.

Lets just say I don't know how the econ department scored her. Smart, caring, inspirational. If even half of the professor actually cared about their students or taught like her we'd be top in the nation.

TAKE BREE. She's literally the ONLY REASON I passed the class.Everyone knows 10A is tough. Yes you have to study hard, and yes you have to put in the work or you are not going to pass the class. She's not easy but but makes the class bearable. She really cares for everyone one of her students. The best professor at UCSB. Go to her OH!!

Professor Lang is a kind and approachable professor who makes even the most difficult topics relatively easier. I still recommend attending the lecture and CLAS. The multiple choice exams were slightly different than previous exams used for practice (more math heavy) but is manageable. The final included both multiple-choice and written.
