very boring lecturer. I want to die when I am sitting in that class for 2 hours
One of the best! Very interesting lectures. Assignments and Tests were easy.
a nice lady, but the course was too easy and unchallenging
Straightforward tests, although they were based too much on lectures.
Easy course, but extremely boring lectures!
very accommodating to those in need
she is an amazing prof & extremely approachable, plus her tests are easy!
Made the subject interesting, hated the excersices done during lecture

appreciated her guest speakers. very informative
best sociology prof ever! i will take any course taught by her! her tests are fair and thorough. she is extremely nice and approachable, she respects all her students opinions and is always willing for student input.
very approachable and helpful. clear and concise. encouraging. fair.
wat the hell was that class abt
I learned lots in the class and Langan taught the material very well. Awesome prof!
i didn't like her, i thought she was too fake and tried to be nice when she was really underhanded
Professor Langan is an absolutely excellent instructor! Personable, intelligent, and funny.
I've made a point to take a class of hers every year.
Not bad...Her counterpart, Nancy Mandell outdoes her by a landslide! Be careful not to breathe, she'll hear you...and she won't like it! At times her lectures were confusing...
best prof ever!
she has a very hard time articulating things at times, so it makes her lectures a little confusing and unorganized. the tests are worded in such a weird manner. however, during lecture she is open to any comments.
Excellent prof!! Lectures are interesting, student inoput is appreciated and tests are fair. I try to take as many courses i can that she teaches!
very nice prof...she has a heart too! the course was good she was clear; exams were quite easy too
pretty good prof
Greatest prof ever. Truly cares about students and loves to teach!
Took her class as ian intro to Crim.. Great Class., excellent lectures.. Willing to talk after class, Even wrote me a letter of recommendation for Grad School!!! T.A. Tracy Sosiak was great too!! Recommend this class
nice prof and great TAs. helpful lectures. readings were very reasonable (only 1 course kit) and interesting. grading is very fair and she gives review questions for the multiple choice tests which are very helpful. take home tests aren't bad either.
Compassionate and gentle lady. Although her lectures may lack some substance, she is enjoyable. As a first year student, she is a treat to have. She is my best prof all year!
Not only does she present the course material effectively, but she involves students in applyign the knowledge during lecture. I look forward to her class all week :)

She's nice enough but her lectures are a little dry. The course amterial is interesting, but I wish the actual lectures had more substance. She is always willing to help though and that makes all the difference.
Very easy going teacher which makes the lectures a comfortable place to be. Though he lectures can often get boring but she does mix it up by adding videos to watch. Overall, if you have a chance to get in her class, take it and if you put in any effort, you are garenteed at least a B.
Great Prof, makes class interesting and interactive, TAs are awesome. MC tests a lil confusing but helps a great deal with study questions.
A profesor that goes out of her way to help students pass her course. Best professor if you're looking to take a second year sociology course. Clear in her lectures and no surprises in exams. Awesome class, awesome prof.
Lectures are realy boring but she practically hands you the tests and her take home exams are like jokes. Take this class if you want an easy ride, for sure.
She makes no sense in lectures and her tests make even less sense.She doesn't even complete her lectures yet she expects you to know content from what she hasn't lectured on.It takes her 1 1/2 hours to get through 1/2pg of notes.Trust me don't take it with her.
It's like they'll give anyone a PhD, and just because you have one does not make you automatically able to teach.
She contradicts herself in lectures. She can't even follow what she says herself. She's clueless and a horrible professor. It has already been said best, it's like they'll give anyone a PhD!!!
I dunno what these other ppl are saying. She's an amazing prof! I would definitely take another course with her. She cares about her students and the readings are really interesting. Plus she provides study questions for her MC tests which help you so much when you studying. GREAT PROF!!!
OK..talk about contradictions. I'm even more confused when I leave the lecture than when I started. I total waste of time. But...if ur a soci major, u gotta take one of these stupid courses.
Although she is a very nice lady, she is not that great of a professor. Her lectures are not very interesting. The study questions for her MC tests are a great help though, without them you would not be sure what to study for the tests.
GREAT PROF! Best class for a first year student to take. She is very helpful and so kind. Take SOCI 1010!
Overall she was good, The powerPoints helped and the multiple choice tests were a good idea with the study guide. I didn't like doing group work in such a large class but overall was a good class!
don't take 2060 with her!
very energetic teacher, give good powerpoints and reviews for tests, I recomend her in the fullest
Great Prof! She is very easy and helpful and most of all her lectures are fun. I recommed this class.
I took 2060 & 2070 with her and she is fair.Lectures are easy to follow and she tries to make them interesting. gives study questions for mc tests so that helps a lot. There's an adequate amt of reading. take home tests are fair. overall, i recommend taking a course with her.. she is much better than fall semester prof nancy mandell
the only thing good about this professor was that she gave you the multiple choice questions before the test.....other then that she was boring and her final exam question was impossible...
very good prof. great layout of course. this is a really good course and prof Langan made it very enjoyable.
Boring prof, talks to slow and although probably means well, ends up lecturing to us as if we were grade 9s. Very easy, had Tomoko for TA and she was easy also. Only highlight of the year was the escort she brought in as a guest speaker.
very good prof! she is helpful and so clear, sends out nice emails with updates, does her best so we understand whats going on, very thorough outline of the course, take home exam but its a bit hard
Her study questions for the tests were very helpful. She was organized and clear during lecture, however, she is boring. She speaks in such a slow manner, like we were in middle school. She also takes alot of time to collect her thoughts, leaving us there to wait for her . All in all the class was easy, but her lecturing style was quite boring.

one of the worst profs i've had in the sociology department, her lectures were boring and she liked to use us as guinea pigs for her theories, rather than teach us course material
sloowww
She is a great prof,She is very nice person! Her lecture's are interesting and clear! But her MC test reviews are not helpful. I find the tests to be very tricky even when knowing the material.
her lectures are somewhat boring. all of her notes are very helpful and the tests are fairly easy if you do the questions she assigns
meh... shes alright.. one of the only classes ill show up to.
She gives study questions for her tests which give away the answers. Drives me nuts to sit in her lectures,she can never find the words she wants to say. Always pausing to gather her thoughts, shes all over the place. VERY frustrating. Instead of being straight forward she TRIES to use "sociological" terms which screws everyone up! easy A though
Excellent! Cannot say better things about her! She is extremely knowlegeable, helpful and thorough. Her readings are very relevant and interesting. She is carring and just the best prof. I've had at York - so far. She does give study q. for her exams which are helpful in not just memorizing answers but actually having the time to understand materia
she's okay, nothing special. M.C. exams are geared at knowing the wrong answer so you don't get much out of them. The readings are much better and quite easy. This class can be very overwhelming at times and the take-home is VERY hard. Lectures can drag on forever and you feel like you're never going to leave. Very nice and approachable feminist..
fake and extremely pretentious, cant make any descicions on her own , you guys thoght alice proper was bad atleast she isnt pretentious . the course was ok ...she hyped it up too much ....her only way of actually making pple come to class was showing videos and having exam questions on it ....hate her !!!!! take home was hard esp second one
I really liked her, I think she was an excellent prof. her tests were SO easy and incredibly fair. all you have to do is pay attention in class and you are guaranteed a good mark. The two take home exams could not have been easier, and she made it so easy to succeed. I loved her and the class!
Dr. Langan is a bright and enthusiatic professor who always had a pleasant attitude. While not always 'on the ball' in terms of clarity or insight, her lectures were easy to follow and worth attending. Furthermore, her tests were ridiculously easy because she gave study guides that foretold every question that would be on the test.
Prof. Langan is very nice, and she made her half of this course very interesting. She is well organized, encourages class discussions, her tests are multiple choice AND easy! just use her study guide! the take home, interesting and i found it easy, i highly recoment this course for any SOCI students and the like. A+
Professor Langan was an awesome prof.Tests were easy as long as you answer the questions she gives you in the Study Guide.The take home exams were fairly easy too providing you know how to write an essay,and clarify what is required of you with your TA(Tomoko is the best!).Go to lectures because she asks questions about videos and lecture content.
She is a really good professor. Her m/c questions are really easy if you've answered all the study guide questions and have been to lecture.
Professor Langan is awesome. Dont talk in her lectures because she doesnt like it!
very boring lectures. very smart prof. knows her material well!!
she is an excellent prof, i have taken many courses with her through out my undergrad yrs. she is engaging, critical, challenging, and her tests are VERY fair. u must attend lectures and listent carefully to her lectures. she is my fav prof ever. i luv u langan!
I like this teacher. She has a very nice attitude, helpful, she is fair and she knows her stuff very well. She wants all her students to do well in her class. She also values your opinion and is always interested in what you have to say. She makes sociology interesting too. I wouldn't mind having her as a teacher every year. She is really good.
She is very helpful. Attending her lectures may be boring, but she tries to make them as fun as possible. She is always willing to help, and go over any question. BUT BEWARE MUL, CHOICE TESTS!
An amazing prof - highly recommended. Truely cares for her students and wants them to succeed. Easy lectures, take-home exams, but tricky MC tests. Tip: lots of her test questions come from her lectures/lecture notes so try and pay attention. Overall, a nice, easy class and very sweet, understanding prof. Will certainly take another class with her!
AMAZING!! One of the best Professors at York! Very nice and approachable. The course itself is interesting and easy. Essays are interesting. MC tests can be tricky but just take down good notes and listen to her examples. TA's are great esp. Andrea!!! take this course with Proff Langan and no one else!!!
Prof Langan is amazing! She really cares about her student's success. Her MC test are pricky tricky but hey, this is University. Langan is an inspiration and I'm so glad I took this first year course with her. I couldn't ask for a better prof. She includes the whole group as part of her lectures which makes for a interactive lecture and alot of fun
Oh Gawd! I like sociology, but this woman cannot pull off an entire sentence without at least one 3 minute break in between... Bores me to taers and cannot concentrate in her lectures. She drags very simple thoughts on and on and on and ... (5 min break)... on and on and on.... (you get my point). Tests based mostly on lectures, so make sure you attend and take notes.
She is a easy teacher
amazing prof i just started her class this year had her only 3 times so far but shes ana amzing teacher does not stand for 3 hours and talk but instead lets us do group work and comunicate with each ohter/ gives great ex of wat she wants assignments 2 look like by sendng ex to ur york u email. TAS 4 this class r great too!!
Had her last year, and must say she made the course very easy and more than fair. Her take home exams were not difficult and neither were her quizzes. However she is quite a boring lecturer, but still attend because several questions that are on quiz come from lecture
This was my second time having Prof. Langan. I dont know what happend to her, this year she was lost and confused wich made the students feel the same way. Her assignments were soooo confusing, with unclear expectaions and not relevant to the course. unfortunatley her time is up at York, better luck elsewhere.
i hated this class. she put us in groups the whole year, and we all know how productive group work is. we only used ONE chapter out of one of the books we had ot buy! she made us buy an entire book for one chapter! she didnt teach ANYTHING relevant to the course..actually..she didn't even teach. absolutely USELESS and ridiculous.
Prof Langan was an amazing prof. She is very compassionate & caring towards students. Sometimes her classes felt too easy. We had to sit in groups the entire year. We did not use one text book. Sometimes over taught and made us feel like fifth graders, however, personally i'd rather be overtaught than undertaught. Overall great!
Good prof.. really cares about her students.. rarely used one of the textbooks.. but an easy marker compared to other profs who teach the course. have to go to lecture - she takes attendance
Great class best version of methods I've heard very involved and I actually remember everything I was taught! Great prof she should be re-hired!
She was one of the best profs I've had at york. Super clear and nice!
