Brenda is a tough marker. She expects that the citations in papers are literally perfect, and expects nothing less, docking substantial marks for any mistakes. Her classes are "technology free", so no laptops for notes which kinda sucks. Her class slides were not online either so you have to show up 100% of the time. Overall ok prof, just be ready.

Brenda is an extremely tough marker. She also expects perfect citations and referencing. If you have poor grammar, spelling, or anything of the sort, prepare for a long semester. She expects above and beyond to get more than a satisfactory grade and is not very lenient regarding this. However, she is a good lecturer and is nice to speak to.

Brenda is a nice person, but she has high expectations. Business Communications is a relatively simple class, but sometimes she contradicts what she says regarding grading criteria. She will say one thing in class but then mark it wrong on the assingment.

Yes, Brenda is a tough grader. However, some students don't realize that she actually provides a rubric for any paper that students have to write. If you follow instructions and not plagiarize, you will definitely ace her writing assignments. She is very professional during class discussions and shows comprehensive understanding.

I would highly NOT recommend taking her class. The way assignments are graded for the work you do does not make sense. You are required to write 5 Workshop assignments, but your mark is not based at all on your assignment. Instead your mark is based off of you critique of another students Workshop Assignment. Hard marker and boring lecturer.

Strict & at times vindictive.

I've also had my issues with her. Talks down to students. Teachers should be fair and equitable, not petty. Knowledgeable but impersonal.

She requested formal report and then graded wrong

Brenda is the worst professor I have had at Mount Royal. Not only was she impossible to get ahold of, but when entering the final grades for my friends and I on MYMRU she entered two or one letter grades below the actual grade. As I was about to email her about this my final grade suddenly changed (a week after she said the final grades are up).F!

Brenda is a fantastic professor. Any problems I had she was quick to resolve the issue. The information I learned in this class will carry on with me for the rest of my life. Despite her poor reviews Brenda is very kind. This course is simple (follow instructions) and you will receive a good grade. Put in the work and you will do well!

Brenda's class will separate the serious students from the ones who don't take academics seriously - a reality check!! I guarantee you that the majority of these bad reviews are from students who couldn't rise to the challenge. While the class can be intense, if you show her you care and actually give a solid effort, she will help you succeed!

Avoid her like the plague. She does not teach anything original herself. Everything is done through a program she uses. So the moment you deviate from her strict outline and she cannot just scan the paper to grade it, she gives a 0. She is insanely strict for how little work she does. Easily the worst professor at mru. Why is she a prof?

Her personal hygiene could also use some attention.

Very hard marker, had multiple people tell me they failed her class due t=to her group project she makes you do. Even when you ask for help and do everything she says she still marks it horribly.

This class was a course requirement for me and I wish I had never taken it. The entire course is about writing emails which should be simple (this class is not hard), she somehow makes that difficult for EVERYONE. I would rather wait a year and find another prof then have to take any course taught by her. also, her lowkey gender politics is stupid.

A class that should be easy and straightforward was turned into an absurdly tedious one. There is no room for nuance or compromise it is either her way or the high way. You have to follow her guides to the letter or you will be docked marks heavily turning what should be a B into a C-. I would strongly recommend taking this class with anyone else.

She has a bad review on here and I understand why, but I had a great time in her class. As long as you work hard, ask lots of questions, and listen to EVERYTHING she says, you can do well in this class. Brenda was a pleasure to talk to and was great at answering my questions.

Brenda Lang is an alright professor as long as you ask questions and understand her expectations. There were many times where I could have taken a huge hit to my overall grade but after asking many questions and ensuring I understood what she wanted, I did fairly well.

This professor tried to divide our class on the issue of masking in early 2022. Those choosing to wear a mask had to sit on one side, those choosing to not wear one sat on the other. She also tried to have the maskless students not approach her. The only reason she could not enforce this rule was because the department chair was contacted. AVOID.

Brenda confuses me. She's nice to talk to in class, but she will not hold back when it comes to grading. In many of her assignments, she gives you the option to choose what you want to write about/ the style you want to write in, yet when I got my grade back, she criticized my choices. She also has many errors in her own assignment instructions.

If you show up to class, she'll show lots of respect and kindness toward you. A lot of reviews say she is a tough grader and she is when it comes to format and citation. Brenda provides detailed instructions for the format, so follow it exactly. Apart from that, the textbook (~$40) is optional but can be helpful with content and paper formatting.
