He knows very much about Cost Accounting. However, I made the mistake of taking him over the summer--this is a very intense course in too short a time. His tests are short, so if you mess up a couple, you will mess up the grade. He does curve, though.

I don't think his test reflect what he teaches in class.
I took with him accounting 2 and 5. I thing his classes are easy and tasts also. if you stady hard tasts are not a problem at all. (no surprises)
Tests are straight forward and based on the homeworks. No surprises or tricky questions.
Very bad, he is not a professor, he is just a CPA, he does not have the talent to teach plus he is very lazy and will drain your energy...do not take him.
I like him. The tests were fair. If you do your homework and listen to him in class you will get an A
Very intelligent professor, knows his stuff, but very difficult class and he is extremely boring.Do all the homeworks because tests are straight from the homeworks. He is better than Testa, but you got to work your butt off.
I do not know why Brooklyn College hires some one who is not a PHD to teach accounting. the guy is just a CPA. he is unclear and academically weak and lazy. he likes to waste a lot of time. if you want to learn accounting. do not take him.
KNOW HOW TO DO THE HOMEWORK PROBLEMS! The tests are similar to them.He goes fast so its a little hard to keep up.If your within couple of points of a higher grade or a "C-"(which is required for accounting majors.)He won't be an ass like Testa (meaning he will give you the points, especially if he sees you there and participate everyday)Nice guy.
He is a very hard teacher, not an easy professor. if you want to talk to him in private you have to wait 2 hours..he just goes on and on. very strict..
not very helpful after class or by email. Hes okay but definitely not outstanding. He lets his son grade the exams.Tests are multiple choice 20 questions.It can get tricky if you dont come well prepared.Understanding the homework is important as well as familiarizing yourself with multiple choice questions from books like gliem and others.GoodLuck!
His exams are very very hard, you study hard do 90% of your home work and still do not end up with a A.I think he knows his stuff, but really he does not teach
He gives an outline for every test and there are homework questions similar to them, BUT it will NOT be the same way. If you have a question in your homework that deals with gains, prepare for the test as if its going to be a loss as well (that sort of thing.) His tests are a little tricky. Overall he isn't the greatest teacher, but not the worst
Gives lots of examples and practice for understanding how accounting works. Gives a good outline b4 the test and his tests require a good head for math and commom sense, but very fair.Do the homework and you should be fine.
Took him for Acc2 and got a C+. I was hoping never to take him again but B/c i am graduating now i was forced to take him for Acc11 . in most accounting courses i managed to get As yet with him i get Cs. his tests are difficult and he does not expalin the material. after taking Langer i realized anyone can be a professor. not reccomended!!
i found the tests to be quite difficult. people say he is easier for acc 11. but i think for acc2 you should stay away
I think he's underrated. if u read BEFORE class, you'll understand what he's saying. He goes over the hw and gives a GOOD outline bfor the test. Any1 not willing to read or study for acct 2 shouldnt be an acct major anyway. Tests are kinda hard, but so what the CPA exam is hard too. Only problem is he talks kind of fast, which is y u should read
i took his acc2. kind easy class. BUT hard exam. clear exam outline but hard question . i got 100 for 2nd exam, others are not bad. BUT i only got B for this class ?? ? (not curve) not clear grading policy >.<
This is an extemely difficult class, and he teaches the way the subjest is, however the clarity and helpfulness is impecable. Very difficult exams, but hey you're in college. Very recommended.
do the homework, review the outline he gave you. Test is not that hard. I took acc2, end with A+. Easy professor and he knows his materials very well. If you just want to sit in the classroom and do nothing, please don't dream to get A and major in accounting.
he gives out outlines for 2 mid-terms and 1 final. he reviews all the HW in the class and is v willing to answer all questions. a v responsible and hard-working professor. he knows his stuff v well and always write on the board v clearly and neatly. take his class and u can learn a lot from him. MUST DO HW AND COME TO CLASS! Don't dream to receive
This guy couldn't even do a problem one time. His tests are hard and his reviews are really not that helpful. Take Sauber, he's the best.
This guy couldn't even do a problem on his on. Say what you want about Buchholz but at least Buchholz knows the material. His midterms have little similarity in what he taught in class.
He is a decent professor. Not the best and not the worst. He is very clear and you should be easily able to understand him. Grading is a little strict but the tests are very fair. Not easy but you should be able to do well enough. Homework is completely optional but I recommend doing it as it makes the class easier.
I like Langer a lot. Took accnt 2 and 10 with him. He is sooo clear!!! Makes material very easy to understand. His tests are very hard. So you have to work the hardest to earn an A. I very recommend him ecpesially for those who can enjoy accounting. Professor Langer, thanks a lot!
He is a good teacher with real life experience on the subject matter. He worked as a managerial accountant in a sweater factory, uses helpful examples from his work there (he knows his stuff). Be careful to copy down HW problems that he goes over in class because he uses those exact problems and just changes the numbers. Nice guy
Very clear Professor, He explains the homework and gives excellent reviews.You should take him.
teaches very clear and goes over all the homework.. gives outline before each test .. homework is optional but recommended ... defiantly take prof langer
First of all, DO NOT TAKE HIM, here are the reasons: -his exams are EXTREMELY tough, -No curve whatsoever,- VERY, VERY harsh grader. Forget about A, if u get a B grade from him, count yourself lucky. ONCE AGAIN, RUN DO NOT WALK!
Excellent professor! He teaches very clearly and painstakingly reviews all of the homework problems in depth on the board, preparing you for the test! Exams are a little challenging but not really hard, there's hw nightly but it's not collected. Would definitely take another class with him!
great professor! exlains everything very clearly, and reviews before the tests.. i took him over the summer and received an A- :) just study and do hw every night, its for ur benefit. dont b lazy and leave studying for the night b4 bc then obviously u wont do as well.
your wisest choice for acct10! its a hard class and you dont have many options here. but he is very clear and knows how to teach the material. tries to make his tests as simple and fair as he can. go for it
exams are extreally hard and he don't take up home work to help with grades is just strickly the tests. but he teaches very clear but on your own on test and he makes it hard dont even gives you your test back so you can revieu it, and learn from it.
He is a great professor and is very clear when he teaches. Acctg 10 is a hard class but he does a good job of teaching the material.
He is the best professor of accounting in BC. He teaches the material very clear. And he gives an excellent outline for the exams.
I almost didn't take his class because of rate my professor but I didn't have a choice boy was I lucky. Do the hw. Explains it all.
His exams are not easy but fair. I struggled in the class, but I would take him over again. He knows his stuff. Lots of note copying. His lecture notes are very clear and he gives an outline of the exams.
he is the best option for acct 10 helps you in every way he could
Avoid at all costs! This professor should retire already. The class is hard and there are lots of questions. Every time I came up to clarify something I did not understand, he could not explain and just stated that it is the way it is. Unhelpful. Take someone else if you can.
This guy is really good he teaches this course with such an ease and does not trick you at all. His reviews are awesome and he is the best option for advance accounting. if you wanna learn take him.....
Just study the notes in the text.
He explains things well, goes at a good speed, and makes accounting not completely boring.
He knows his stuff, teaches well, skim the chapter b4 class because he teaches as if u have some prior knowledge on the sub-subject. Loves to talk about his sweater factory. He's easy if you pay attention.
Take him, but you have to study everything by your self, because all he does is just goes over the HW in the text book. I prefer to get the answers to all the HW and go home and study my self, since there is no actual use of him.
His tests are always 1 hours 15 minutes long. You better be fast and confident otherwise don't stay till final: he will fail you. No curves or consideration for class activity or attendance whatsoever. Does give a good explanation though.
I took him for Acct 10 and Acct 11. He basically spoon feeds you all the material and then gives you an awesome review what could you expect on his test. Final is cumulative but its from the first 2 test and at the end of semester curves to a little.
He's really a nice guy! He explains the problem clearly, even I was an international student, I could understand it totally. Do the homework and go over it throughly and you will be fine. Follow his methods to solve the problems, getting A is really not hard
He is very clear when he explains the problems in class. It seems easy but his exams are hard. You have to know it 100% to get it questions right and have to be fast to finish.
no comment. students already know to avoid his classes. but we have no choice. very few teachers to choose from for certain required courses. get book for your reference shelf, read it and you may do well.
This professor is the best professor in the accounting department! This is my second time taking him for class and I would take him for any acct classes that he teaches. Very clear and is always open to answering questions. His tests are VERY fair and are only based on what was covered in class. He is also very kind and an all around great person!
Exam are extremely hard and are very different from the hw. Grade is only base on exams, no curves pass exam to pass class or do bad and fail class
Took him for Cost Accounting and Advanced. I like that he has a passion for teaching and is energetic about accounting. However, his tests make no sense and a lot of the stuff is from things we never went over in class. No curves, and he is not afraid to fail students. He is not for everybody. Would never take a class of his again.
I took him for multiple courses. I would say that his tests are quite tough, so you will have to prepare extensively for them. He is very clear and thorough. Doing the hw before the lesson will help you understand more quickly. Studying the hw questions will help a lot for the test.
I think Langer is the best Accounting Prof. in Brooklyn College. If you're taking advanced level classes I'm assuming you have ambitions of actually becoming an accountant and CPA. Yes he gives tough tests, but he makes up for it by basically giving us a complete outline of the test. You're going to actually need to study and learn something.
he give homework,but never check them, he does all homework and explain them well, first two tests consist of problems not multiple choice but the final exam is a combination of multiple choice and problems, no extra credit, but you get to learn a lot from the class, if you attend the class and follow his homework, it's an easy A
Professor Langer is one of the best accounting professor. His lectures are crystal clear. He goes over homework problems in class and make sure you pay attention in class otherwise you will be lost. Exams are straight forward, as long as you study hard and pay attention in class you will be fine
Although the material is very challenging, Langer makes it simple to understand by giving many examples of each problem. He does not curve at all. The class grade is based on two midterms and a final. Very hard tests. You will learn a lot
2 midterms (25% each) and final (50%). You will learn a lot and won't fall asleep like in your other classes. He tells you exactly what will be on the exam. Just study what he does on the board and do the homework. Cool professor. Easy A.
great professor!! goes over homework in class. The review is helpful just practice the homework questions and you will be fine. There are 2 midterms and a final.
he is ok I not very hard taxation I barely studied exams are hard but pay attentionto the review some review questions are repeated on the final
Gives the best notes, lots of homework fully explained. Lecture is easy, Exams are hard, 2 exams, none are returned for you to review for the cumulative final. The exams questions are tricky. it ask theory and concepts if you don't fully understand them can be difficult. Every exam every took the entire exam time to work through less than 20 quest
Exams are hard, no review sheet to prep for exams, doesn't give back exams to review . Final is cumulative, so you won't know what you did wrong or correct your mistakes.
He's the best for ACCT3001. You're doing yourself a favor by taking him for that class. Tells you exactly what's gonna be on the exams so no tricks. Just attend class, pay attention and you'll do great.
This prof is great. I took him for advanced accounting. He made the lectures easy to understand. Tests were based on HW. Definitely will take him for cost accounting
Avoid for ACC4001, Class notes are neat and detailed, don't let it fool you. It barely prepares your for the 3 exams. Final is cumulative. Exams are tricky, you need to understand the entire concept,how to fill in blanks to answer the MC. Any1 who tells you he is good, did intensive self studying, NO REVIEW SHEETS, tells you the topics on exam only
EXAMS ARE VERY TRICKY, NO REVIEW FOR IT. LECTURE ARE VERY CLEAR BUT WON'T PREPARE YOU FOR THE TESTS. HE WON'T GIVE BACK TEST FOR YOU TO CHECK YOURSELF EITHER, GOOD LUCK! GET SOMEONE ELSE.
Langer is the of the best professor for advance accounting class. Clear, organized and detailed lectures. Yes, his tests are lit bit tricky but nothing what he didn't cover during class. Do HW, review all his notes and you will be fine. Nothing impossible.
Gives good notes, gets off topic a lot. Don't give back exams for review, so its it won't help with Final. Half my class is retaking Advance Accounting because of his tricky exams. You will have to studying everything for his exams. No review sheet, no preparation other than self study, homeworks don't help, since exams are tricky.
Seemed so easy until tests came up my first low grade in accounting EVER
Given 3 exams- final cumulative. His notes are your life.
Tests are tricky, have to studying everything and lot of self studying. Never gives exams back to check what you get wrong while the final is cumulative. Lots of students are taking summer classes because of him
Don't take if you care about your GPA. Take another professor.
Prof Langer is truly a great professor. He cares about his students and is readily available for help during office hours. He makes class interesting with his old school stories. His exams are not difficult put in the time to study for a few days and do the homework problems over and over again you will find his class is not difficult at all.
Langer is great, his exams are a replica of the examples he goes over in class, I never read the book I just did the problems and mastered them and was able to do very well. He cares about his students and is willing to go out of his way to help you. Take Langer if you can!
Don't take if you care about GPA. Tests similar to homework; sometimes with difficult things added which make you question if he showed what he's asking in class. If you get a few multiple choice wrong you will already be at like an 80 for the test if you get any mistakes on free response. Good lectures, makes material easier to understand.
Best professor ever
Amazing !- gives detail outline on exercises and explains it well. His tests on the other hand are tough. You must know and understand the material. He will answer questions.
Lots of note, got 80 s on every test, received an B
Prof. Langer is wonderful. He explains everything very clearly. He shows in detail how to solve homework problems in class. Follow his lectures. Make notes during the lectures and remember that. Make sure you understand the material. His tests are similar to those he explains in class - no surprises on the exams. I highly recommend him.
If you want to boost your GPA, please skip this professor!!! His test is very hard!!!
pretty easy class. only 2 test and a final. homework is optional. very easy to reach if you have any questions.
All the tests were taken directly from the homework. Don't even have to read the textbook if you just use the homework. Really easy, nice prof.
Great prof, explains everything slowly and clearly. He paces the class well and doesnt rush thru anything. Gives hw for practice, but the exams are kind of tough. Looking up the question wont really get you anywhere. Flexible grader. Light workload: 2 midterms, 1 final
I have taken Professor Langer for multiple accounting courses at Brooklyn College. He uses examples from the book that are almost identical to the CPA exam. If you are aspiring to become a CPA then this is the class you want to be in. The way he explains problems will stay with you forever. I am really glad I took his courses.
Avoid this professor by all means! He messed up my grade. It took me three months and a lot of nerves to get it changed. He didn't respond to emails, promised to read them, and didn't get back until I emailed the chairperson. Then he filled out the form incorrectly and I had to complain again. Very unprofessional, irresponsible, careless person!
Get ready to read! The homework doesn't help with the exams, you need to study by yourself. Tests are hard and graded by a few things.
The practice problems are similar to the questions on the exam. He also explains the material well that you can understand even if you didn't read the textbook. The workload is light 2 midterms and a final. As long as you understand the practice problems this class should be an easy A
final exam counts for 50% of your total grade. Good luck if you choose him By the way, this exam is much more difficult than you think.
Great professor, uses textbook but doesn't require us to have it, if you want and you are a person that need to do the reading buy it. Posts questions and answers to them on bb. no hw, Ask him questions he likes to interact with students, easy going, old, and respected man, head of accounting department. STUDY and A guaranteed!
Currently I am enrolled if this course, so far it is okay but understanding everything at once can be tricky. 2 midterm and a final. So far midterms have no mulitple choice question evertyhing is short response and you have to create your own income statement and everything. If you plan on taking this course the 2024 semester this is a heads up.
If you are looking for a future in person class, I wouldn't recommend you to take this class. he is a difficult person doesn't review much and everything he does is from homework and he just copies the answers on the board and that's about it. If you wanna risk it go for it, all test are all written work so good luck if you take this next semester
I don't even know how to start this but if you are taking this professor in the future think about it before taking him. Lots of work tests are extremely difficult no multiple choice all written work. If you don't want to mess up your gpa pls avoid him at all cost, it isn't worth your time and if it is your average would be very low. Goodluck
