HW can be tricky, but there are solution manuals out there to help you out. She tells you what will be on the test so they are easy to prepare for.

Statics isn't extremely easy but of the three sections, ours has the highest average and it's the largest. She goes quickly but does plenty of examples and limits the written homework to once a week, which is very helpful. I enjoy this class and highly recommend anyone taking statics to be in her class. She has really helped me understand.

She does go fast but she is very clear on what she expects you to know. She gives you an old exam ahead of time and your exam is very similar to that one. Very helpful in grading.

The class is pretty straight-forward. She lets you know exactly what's going to be on the test. Her grading of the tests is extremely fair. She divides the problem up into 10 or 15 separate parts and you get credit for each part. Helps if you don't know what you're doing. There is also usually a 10-15 point curve on all the test.

She is very on top of things which is different from most of my professors. Homework is due about once a week, but there are help sessions with TA's that are very helpful. She gives good curves on tests- we got 20 points on all three so far- some people even got 120s. I had a hard time focusing in class but the homework helped clear things up

Dr. Lang is very knowledgeable of the course material, and she does an adequate job relaying the material. The major downside is that she is very tough. The homework is long and time-consuming, and her tests were impossible to finish in the time given. However, she curves the tests very generously, which saved my grade.

Dr. Lang is very smart, however she has trouble communicating that genius to the class. She makes her class difficult to "challenge even the most earnest students". The class was interesting, but she flies through material at break-neck speed and her tests are very challenging (test averages usually around 55-60 but she scales to a 70-75).

Dr. Lang is very smart as others mention and the class is very doable. The entire class is based off of one equation and it is the most interesting class I have had so far. The tests are not difficult but the weekly homework quizzes are tricky. Each test got curved so do not worry about passing. Also she's an amazing person and very understanding.

Dr. Lang is brilliant. Shes very passionate about fluids. However this is definitely one of the hardest classes I've taken in my engineering career so far, so definitely get ready to work. She's a very fair grader but her tests are HARD. You really have to stay on top of things for this class--dont slack off. Huge curves on tests. Youll pass.

Fluids is a hard class anyways, but it's rewarding. If you put in the work you can end up with a really good grade-she curves by a lot. If you actually want to learn something then take Dr. Lang. She truly cares about her students as future engineers. There are weekly quizzes, 3 exams, and the final, no turn in homework. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Lang teaching philosophy is very different than traditional professors: She makes the material more difficult, but gives you ample opportunity to earn a grade you want in the class. Her passion for her research and previous studies shows and, after some investment of your time, rubs off on you; a model example of an engineering professor.

Class is very involved & takes a lot of time. There are several hw assignments (online & written) and a few projects. Only a midterm & final. Several extra credit opportunities and huge scaling (at least 20 pts). Take Lang if you want to actually learn and retain info. Really helpful and respected. AEM majors: take her whenever possible.

This class is extremely difficult. She focuses the majority of the class points on projects, so those are your real grade savors right there. I failed both the midterm and final with the curves (around 20 points) and I still passed the class. My advice is to not game the homework or projects, try your best to make 100s on those. Class is worth it.

Amy Lang is a great professor; she really cares about giving students a real understanding of aerodynamics, and that shows in her lectures. A lot of people complain about her giving too much homework, but it really is manageable if you put in a little effort. I got an A without too much work. DON'T wait to start the airfoil project though.

While this class is extremely challenging and Lang will make you work for your grade, it's clear she cares about her students. She recognizes that her class is difficult and does her best to provide resources for everyone to succeed. While her tests are difficult, she outlines what you should know for them and you can count on generous curves.

Dr. Lang is hands down one of the best professors at UA. She does an amazing job at actually teaching students the material rather than just making them memorize things for the exam. Her tests are quite difficult, but you can always be assured that she will give a generous curve. Take Dr. Lang if you want to learn, but be ready to put in the work!

Aerodynamics is a really difficult class, but Dr. Lang makes it relatively easy and digestible. She really cares about the subject and tries to make it as interesting as possible. Her test are notoriously extremely difficult, but she curves them extremely well. I would take her again in a heartbeat if possible. I will say, do your projects early!

I really enjoyed this honors 300 elective. It is easy to get an A if you do the work. The readings can be extensive, but I honestly found most of them interesting. This class opens your mind to a lot of different ideas about the world, and I would recommend.

Dr. Lang does a good job explaining the material in class, and the practice problems done in class are well-chosen. Homework is plentiful and ideal for test prep. Dr. Lang's class is challenging, but her grading policies are generous. If you put the work in, you will gain a thorough understanding of the material and a good grade.

Statics is a difficult class but Dr. Lang makes it very tolerable. She works over plenty of examples in class which help much more than lectures. Quizzes are taken directly from homework and tests are always curved. Other people rating her poorly are the same people I see doing homework the night its due and barely studying/not going to class.

If you want an easy class dont take Lang. That being said, she will prepare you better than any other statics prof. My only complaint is that Pearsons time estimate on HW is completely off and I think Lang doesnt know (at least from my experience & friends). The tests are hard but she scales reasonably to make up for it-Lang cares for her students!

She is honestly a great professor. Statics is a tough class, but its all stuff you're going to have to know anyways, so mine as well take it with someone who gives lots of extra credit. She really does care and wants you to learn. For statics in general, just be prepared to put the work in, but with Dr. Lang, she makes doing the work worth it!

Dr. Lang is an accomplished academic who (as rare as it is among career academics) shows care for her students that is well beyond what is required of her. Statics is not an easy course. Dr. Lang recognizes this and does not dumb down the content. Her homework load is high, but her exams are graded very generously. I would take her course again.

She gives a lot of homework, and her tests and quizzes are challenging. However, she is very generous with partial credit. This is a difficult class from the start, and this has affected her rating.

Lang is solid for statics. Tests are hard but are curved generously, and the quiz question comes directly from the homework. My only complaint is that she assigns too much homework. Statics is a hard class and many people aren't willing to put the work in and blame her. You will have to put a lot of work in, but Lang will reward you for doing so.

Professor Lang is a good choice for statics. She responds well to emails and was always available for help outside of class. You get out what you put in. There is a lot of homework, and the lectures are fast paced; however, if you put in effort, you can succeed in her class. All quizzes are straight from the homework, and the tests are curved!

UH329 adds perspective in life and has the potential to change your worldview. Weekly HWs take upwards of 3-5 hrs depending on how in-depth you go. Dr. Lang does a good job of mixing philosophy with science to mold your own perspective of reality (mind/matter) and religion. This class is valuable for life but only if you want to put in the work.

Her lectures are a bit boring but she cares. Most of the info required to pass the class is online. Her test reviews somewhat outline the test. The actual tests are much harder. The last two questions on each test combine to be worth 75 percent of the test and are quite hard. If you don't want a challenge, I recommend one of the easier professors.

Lang is a very serious professor. Class time is spent very efficiently as she uses most of it to solve problems for the class. My only complaints are that her explanation of concepts, particularly the reasoning behind many formulas, can sometimes be quick and overlooked, and her Homeworks usually consist of 10-20 online problems graded on accuracy.

Dr. Lang did well in making sure everyone had the tools to succeed. Her class was hard, but she's not a bad prof. Curves tests. Just manage your time, and start studying the weekend before (or earlier) and you should be fine. She is very accessible in and out of class. Statics is just a hard course with challenging material. Super important though.

Dr. Lang makes this course extremely difficult - but it does prepare you very well for the future. She scales her tests and homework grades very generously. She also does do a great job teaching/explaining/working out problems in class. You MUST put in the work to do well but a good grade is definitely possible if you put the work in.

She gives a lot of homework but for a class like 313 I think it helps you learn the topics. The test are pretty straight forward and she gives you a lot of good study content. 35% of your grade in the class is homework and projects so it's easy to get a relatively good grade without doing great on the test, also lots of extra credit opportunities.

Her course was hard and the homework's were hard but there were a bunch of ec opportunities. She also was not a terrible teacher unlike Nicholas pak and AEM 250 as she was actually competent and qualified.

I think most of her bad reviews are due to the nature of engineering being difficult. She was honestly a great teacher and offered lots of E.C. that made the difference between pass/fail. When I emailed with a grading discrepancy, she admitted she made a mistake and fixed it! She is very kind and obviously knows a lot about what she teaches.
