Awesome professor. Always explain the business world and laws in a way that attracts his student and make sure it is well convey. He always smile and make class fun, which is great because energetic professor like this can't be found at SCSU much. He also had good videos that explain how a lawsuit work when one is sue or breach of contracts.
Great professor! Would take him again! Participate in class and show up on time. He's easy going and use's real life examples! Makes lectures interesting, TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO.
His tests are on the tougher side but her gives very good real world examples. He is always upbeat and makes class very fun. All you have to do is go to class. I would definitely take it again!
Show up to class and you will pass. Take home tests and entertaining lectures. He is outgoing and keeps the class involved and I would defiantly recommend him to a friend.
I enjoy having Professor Lange as a teacher because he gives real life examples, is knowledgeable, and is always enthusiastic. Professor Lange makes sure you are not only entertained but also informed and excited to come to class. Sad to see he is leaving SCSU as I was hoping to take more of his classes in the future.
Really good guy! Knows his stuff! Be on time and go to class and you will pass!
Great professor, he know what he's talking about and uses lots of example to explain a concept. Classes are very interactive so theres nothing like a boring class session.
Prof. Lange is helpful if you are planning on taking the CPA exam, he talks about it a lot. And, he gives real world examples. He's been there done that and is a pretty interesting guy.
Prof. Lange is an awesome teacher! He always relates the material in the book to real life examples that he has been through. He makes an extremely boring class upbeat and interesting. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!
He is the best professor ever, I never had professor like him!!
He's a super chill professor. Take home exams, long but aren't that hard. Lectures are interesting and actually fun. He knows what he's talking about. Read the case studies that he assigns before class and he'll love you. Overall great professor! I would totally take another class with him.
I took BLAW at another campus but it didn't transfer so I had to retake. I was absolutely dreading retaking it of the horrible experience I had in the past. Dreading it as much as retaking Statistics. Professor Lange totally changed my attitude on the subject. Each class is fun AND informative. You will retain loads of practical information.
He wants you to be the greatest you can be in all dimensions of yourself.
Great instructor
Good professor.
He is a great professor! He, as an attorney, has several real life experiences to be able to help teach the subjects! I would highly recommend!
His lectures are entertaining and engaging! He engages the audience in a way that makes you remember the concept.
Professor Lange is very intelligent and knows how to keep the class engage. He is very organized and gives very clear instructions on homework and tests. Would definitely take his course again!
Read material before class! Literally the best professor I have had in college! Gives first hand experience from profession in Law. You can pretty much use any information that he gives out and apply it to your personal life. If you have a sense of humor, he is too funny of as a professor!
AMAZING TEACHER! So many kids in our class are looking into the business law profession because he is so inspirational. He is understanding and works with students. Participation is key. Lange is a smart ass and loves come backs. Best class I have taken
His lectures are very engaging and interesting. Five take home exams and one page paper instead of finals. Participation is key. I am one of those students who doesn't participate in class but since his lectures are very engaging, he made it very easy for me to participate. What more could you ask for. He is the best professor in SCSU.
The absolute best class I've taken at SCSU. Professor Lange is flat out amazing. His lectures are entertaining, very informative and applicable to the real world. I learned a lot in the class and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's also obvious that Professor Lange loves what he does and it shows during his class.
fabulous class, it was really an amazing experience. I have learnt a lot from him personally.
Professor Lange is one of my favorite professors at SCSU. He uses real life examples to engage students and makes the class much more enjoyable. He's the king of one liners and comebacks with a razor sharp wit and love to make jokes and playfully poke fun at the students. Great professor.
James truly cares about his students and their progress. This is one of the few classes where you actually learn something AND it's easy. I hope he makes the class harder, so students don't take the class for granted. James likes to get the shyer students out of their comfort zones, so they can eventually learn to speak up and have a voice.
He is the best professor ever! You will get an easy A if you come to class and participate. There're also 5 test through out the semester.
His lectures are entertaining and engaging! He engages the audience in a way that makes you remember the concept.
Awesome professor, Make sure you are on time and prepared to discuss the material!
Great!
By far my favorite professor!! Don't be late. Or do... but you won't get away with it.
Has a unique sense of humor that may offend; however, do not take it so serious because in the end he is just trying to lighten up the discussion. Great Guy!
Great professor! Genuinely cares about students. The class' atmosphere was always fun, making it hard not to come to class. :)
He owns his own practice which gives him a lot of experience, he uses that to make topics more interesting and makes it easier to remember. He cracks a lot of jokes and seems like he really loves to teach which makes you want to be there more. I loved listening to his lectures!!
Never a dull moment with a professor that truly cares about his students by teaching in an interactive way with real world situations from his real world law experience. I learned a lot about how things work in a career setting including tips and pointers on how to advance in a company and things such as how to avoid a non-compete agreement.
Excellent
If you have the opportunity to be in one of his classes, do not pass it up.
Easily one of the best professors I have had. I would highly suggest to anyone to take his class. Makes class fun and enjoyable.
Great class, I learned a lot about business and law. And, also some life lessons.
He is a very funny guy, who makes the class very entertaining. Overall it is an easy class, but even if it was hard, I would choose him. If you have have a choice to take a classes he's teaching, take it.
Prof. Lange was one of the bright spots during my undergrad time at St Cloud State. He makes makes often dull topics in law interesting. He is very engaging and seems to truly care about his students. If you are a business student at St Cloud State, and required to take a BLAW class, you would be missing out if you didn't take Prof. Lange.
Dancing skills are mediocre, good thing he doesn't do it for a living. Great professor!
One of the best professors I've had. If you have the opportunity to take him, do it. A lot of fun and a lot of learning occur at the same time with him.
Great, teacher. Take his course if you can.
Awesome teacher, this is a class you will get excited in and will understand what's going on while having fun and participating. Definitely take this class!
Prof. Lange is hilarious and gives awesome lectures. He has real world experience which makes his lectures engaging. Easy grader if you just read the book.
One of the best professors I have had. Really makes you interested in the subject, by using his own exambles.
I have found him to be my favorite teacher. I recommend him to my friends, and to you. Everyday I come home to my roommates, and tell them how interesting he makes the class. He has real life experience with cases. He is very clear with his teaching style which helps me to understand everything. I can't wait to go to his next class!
One of the few classes I actually pay attention to. You wont find yourself distracted because professor Lang makes it engaging. It's a very laid back class, do your readings and show up. He likes participation. Keep it simple stupid.
The class is very interesting and informative and you feel like you are learning something you will actually use in the real world.
Awesome professor. If he is the instructor of a course you need or just want to take, just do it. You won't be sorry.
Great professor!
This is an awesome class mainly because professor Lange actually knows what he is talking about unlike some teachers at St. Cloud State. He also makes it fun to go to class by involving everyone in his lectures. I would highly recommend people to take this class.
Makes topics relevant with real world examples from his actual work. Textbook needed for cases and exams. He'll make you want to come to class.
Easy take home tests. They follow the text sequentially.
This is a class that you feel bad for missing. His lectures are up-to-date with current topics and hilarious. Approachable teacher that is actually there to teach instead of for the money. Tests are straight out of the book so make sure you get it ($7 online) and read the cases because he grades on participation.
Still by far one of my favorite professors. His lectures are astonishing, has stupendous real world examples. He picks on students who don't participate so if you don't want to be picked on PARTICIPATE! Humor him if you must, he doesn't make fun of you for getting things wrong he helps students understand how the world works. HE warmhearted
Great professor. Wish I could take him for more classes. Really smart and makes the material easy to understand. J
James Lange is an amazing professor. If you don't like him on the first day, don't leave, Stick it out, he is someone you want to hear from! He makes class an entertaining and fun atmosphere, don't come in late unless you want to be picked on. All in good fun!
coolest professor ever! very genuine and interesting. tests are easy. I would definitely recommend this professor. if you are planing on being absent just let him know the reason and he'll be fine. Not strict at all. His class is fun. shares a lot of real life experience. Learned a lot from him.
Great Person
Awesome Professor! Fun and engaging!
Professor Lange was one of my favorite professors in college. He made our classes interesting and engaged the whole class. I walked away with a lot more knowledge and understanding of Business Law then when I walked in. He gave real life examples which made it much easier to understand and relate to.
If you have the chance, definitely take James Lange! He uses real life examples and makes complicated law issues understandable. Participation does count, and you should definitely read the case studies. Minimal to no homework, grade based off of attendance, participation, and exam scores.
Mr. James is such a nice professor. Do take his class, he is kind and helpful and moreover, you will never get bored in his class.
One of my favorite professors. His lectures were a little long, but the energy he has in class will keep you awake. He always picks on people for the cases in the textbook.
We had take home exams. All what you need class to read the cases that he assign and pay attention to him. Do NOT use your phone under the table otherwise he will make fun of you.
Professor Lange was one of my favorite professors in college. He made our classes interesting and engaged the whole class. He was always happy and enjoyed teaching this class!
He makes topics relevant with real world examples from his actual work. Textbook needed for cases and exams. He'll make you want to come to class. GREAT PROFESSOR!
Hands down my favorite professor at SCSU. He made the class fun and entertaing and I felt as though I learned a lot. The test were take home. Just be willing to talk and laugh and you'll have a good time. I would read what he tells you to read, so if you have to talk, you can back up what you say.
Great professor, would take for any class possible
Hes a great professor! Easy class if you attend. Barely any homework!
Easy going fun professor. Be sure to participate and you will have a great time!
Group project (4 people) is a mid term paper (4 pages double spaced). Google your topic and write 4 pages about it. We met with my group for 20 minutes outside of class to discuss our paper (every person submits there own part). Attend class because he has an attendance sheet he passes around on random days. Be willing to participate in class.
Great Professor! Graded on one 4 page paper, and attendance. No quizzes, no tests. Professor Lange makes class really enjoyable. If you're not comfortable talking in class, get comfortable.
Professor Lange is a real gem. Wont find a teacher like him anywhere else. Get ready to participate while having a great time.
Prof Lange is absolutely amazing! Tells great stories and keeps the class engaged. Never a dull moment during his lectures.
Lang is a great professor, as he bring real life examples into the classroom. At the beginning of the class we discussed current events, which I thought was a great way to start the class and bring relevance to what we were learning in class.
One of my favorite classes I've taken at SCSU. He makes lectures super funny and entertaining and spends a lot of time on "currenty and eventy" types of things and how marketing and the law relates to real life situations. He also talks a lot about his practice and the different cases he has dealt with and makes concepts easy to understand.
Definitely show up to class. I looked forward to his class every time. He teaches by participation and he will call on you and/or make fun of you. Always be listening and work hard, you'll get an A. No homework, just a term paper.
Professor Lange has entertaining lectures and interesting examples. Always put out your name tag. The best part of the class is the "currenty and eventy" portion. Make sure you participate. Never missed a class, loved being here. Would definitely take this class again with Lange.
Professor Lange is awesome. His class relies on a lot of participation but if you read the chapter and pay attention its easy. The lectures are fun and bring in a lot of current events that relate to topics covered.
He really wants people to learn more real life information. He doesnt believe in just flipping through a book he wants participation !
Professor is the best professor
This was my second class with Lange. He is unorthodox but effective in his teaching style. He won't sit and lecture at you, he makes the class interactive and uses current real world examples.
Lange is a great professor who uses a lot of current events and personal stories to make marketing law relatable. He says you need to buy the textbook but I have not opened it up once, so don't waste your money. Overall this course is fairly easy with a six page paper, which he gives you a lot of time to do.
It's almost like he understands marketing better than most of the marketing department. Literally the only professor that designed curriculum for the realistic college student. Its easy to pay attention and learn when the lecturer keeps things interesting. Take this class.
Best professor ever!
Very unique style of teaching. Real world material is a discussion in everyday material.
Probably one of the best professor in the business department. Funny guy with a ton of experience and very reasonable. The class was basically graded off of two things, 1) a 5 page midterm and 2) attendance. If everybody in the class shows up and write good midterms, the final will be small. If the opposite, the final will suck.
Great professor! He puts a big emphasis on class participation. Only a handful of assignments.
Professor Lange is a really cool dude! His classes are fun and he engages the class with high energy and enthusiasm. Lange conveys the material in an effiecient manner and doesn't get bogged down with details that won't be important. I highly recommend taking his BLAW classses!
Great professor who grades you based on attendance a 5 page business ethic paper and a small final. You will need the book if he decides to give you class a take out home final which is over 150 questions but as long as you participate and show him your learning he will sub the final for an easier one
James Lange is a professor who really knows his stuff. He uses examples from his real world experience as an attorney to illustrate the material in a meaningful and tangible way. His lectures are fun and his sense of humor is great! Participation is important as he doesn't give much in the way of homework. Also, dont skip or be late to class.
Lange is a great professor. His lectures are entertaining and filled with real life examples. I would definitely take a class with him again.
Lange is great! The class isn't hard plus he brings in real world situations. He expects people to read the cases he assigns before every class. I would take him again!
Fake it til you make it... relates everything to real life. Short paper and attendance is majority of grade
I always looked forward to professor Lange's class. He is very funny and cares about his students taking something useful from his class. He uses lots of real life examples to teach and is always looking out for his students best interest. Make sure you come to class and pay attention and you'll do great! Would take again!
It is a fairly easy class, but you must participant and show you are learning something.
Don't skip class, he takes random attendance and participate when you come. Just show him that you're learning something.
100% recommend. I would take him again. Lectures are mostly current events and some textbook stuff, but he relates everything to the real world with tons of examples that will be hard to forget.
He is an excellent professor. 100% recommend taking him. He keeps class interesting and has many real life examples to tell.
I would 100 percent take a class with Prof. Lange again. The class is engaging and entertaining!
I would definitely recommend taking a class with Lange! The lectures are always fun and entertaining.
Participantion matters, but the class is definitely worth taking!
I would definitely recommend taking a class with Prof. Lange! You will learn valuable pieces of information that will pertain to real life situations.
Prof. Lange is awesome! Try to take a class with him if you can!
Show up for class and participate and you will do fine!
Would take him as my teacher for every single class if I could !!
He is awesome! You learn so much in his class! Show up and listen!
Gives awesome lectures! Teaches you so much!
By far the best professor Ive had here at SCSU!
Take him if you need a business law class! He'll assign papers throughout the semester. He'll assign more pages if the class doesn't participate in class discussion. Take him.
Great professor. Very funny and gives real world examples
Everyday is very interesting coming to class. We start with current events and relate it to the material that we are studying. Come to class, put your name tag out. Such a great professor!
Good guy
Fun class
Interesting class
Learned a lot of real world experience
Enjoyable to listen to
Great professor. Keeps everyone involved and has endless examples.
Awesome professor that loves to keep class fun and keep his students engaged with interesting lectures.
Awesome teacher!!!
Made a law class interesting and fun!
Great Professor. I would definitely take him again. Show up to class or you'll get made fun of.
Showing up matters in this class. He tries to relate everything to real life in hopes that it'll help you remember the info more. Most of all remember the importance of "faking it til you make it"
Great professor. He is very funny which helps. He relates almost all the topics to a case he's handled. Would definitely take this prof again
Loved this class. He is hilarious. He always has "currenty and eventy" at the start of class. Onwards and upwards he makes the lessons relatable to real life so they are easier to remember. A solid choice and wish I took him for 235 as well.
Great professor. Remember to participate even if it's faking it til you make it. Showing up (on time) matters. He likes to randomly take attendance. Book is helpful but not necessary. Taking notes helps. Helpful when you have questions.
All together gr8
One of the great professors that teaches BLAW in SCSU. As you can see here on rate your professor as one of the highest rate for actual good professor. Took his class a while back but sad to see that he isn't teaching here at SCSU anymore. He always express that teaching was one of his favorite hobby to do because he do own his own law firm.
Solid educator with passion for the betterment of the students. Prof Lange has real life stories and makes class much more fun to be engaged in. Take him!
Great guy and knows his stuff
Professor Lange is a great professor. Made the class fun and enjoyable.
Professor Lange is simply the best. Enough said.
Professor Lange is a life lesson teacher, teaches real life examples of marketing law. Was a fun class to be in.
Lange is the best professor. He makes every lecture interactive,informational and fun, even with so much information being conveyed. He develops the class for the students. The class is a good amount of work. But it's the class you will look forward to everyday. Lange is an amazing source of information and resource after graduation. 235-11am
Super hilarious professor! His lectures are always fun and easy to understand. He gives a lot of fact patterns which helps you understand what you're learning even better. My suggestion is that attend his class daily and always be on time. He doesn't like when students come late to his class but he is chill about it. Tests are pretty easy too.
Professor Lange likes to lecture in class, but for good reason. Pay attention because what he teaches will actually benefit you in life and you shouldn't take his advice for granted. He makes you think about the real world and how it works, along with how to converse with others. Expect to participate in class at least a little bit. Amazing!!
Excellent Professor! Makes Business Law fun and easy to understand.
Professor Lange does a very good job at keeping the class engaged and makes attending class enjoyable. Be sure to attend and participate in class and it will be worthwhile.
Awesome and knowledgeable professor. He knows what he is talking about and gives great examples.
Absolute Gem of a human being. As I speak he is dancing in front of the class. Easy class
I had a great time taking this class. I would take it again if I could
Professor Lange is really awesome professor. I had to take BLAW 235 as a required class and was really dreading it after I registered. This class turned out to be my favorite after I was introduced to Professor Lange. He is funny and sarcastic and always provided entertainment. Grades consisted of three take home tests and a couple fun papers.
Lange is an awesome professor. Always happy to teach and is funny to listen to. Has great real world experience from being an attorney.
Professor Lange is a great professor. He makes class enjoyable.
James Lange is the coolest prof I have had at SCSU. His lectures are fun and he keeps them interesting. He loves to joke around and loves it when you participate too. He is a fair grader and is straight forward on his papers and tests. The book helped me a lot for the tests but I wouldn't say it's absolutely necessary. He makes learning fun!
Best teacher I've ever had. Very enjoyable class, amazing lectures. Attendance is not always noted but I'd recommend going to class because they are very useful and very fun. Very good grader and often gives out take home exams and as long as you read the book you will get an A.
This is a great professor to take if your are taking BLAW. He is a lenient grader and gives great feedback when you ask for it. Participation matters in this class but he gives you a lot of chances to earn those points. Exams are easy if your pay attention and take notes because the lectures go into detail on what is going to be on an exam.
Really interesting to listen to. Has good stories using his law experience.
Great professor! I would definitely take his class again and I would recommend him to many students. He teaches real life skills along with the stuff from the text book! 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Awesome prof, would actually recommend him to other students
Super funny and overall a great prof. Would definitely take his classes again
Professor Lange is by far the BEST professor I have ever had at St. Cloud State. He makes coming to class fun and enjoyable. His teaching style suits students very well. Would highly recommend Professor Lange to anyone who actually wants to learn real life situations in regards to law instead of basic terms and concepts. Professor Lange is the GOAT
It's always another rousing addition of Business Law 235 at beautiful Saint Cloud University on the banks of the might Mississippi with this wonderful professor. I went into the class at the beginning of the semester thinking the class was going to be boring but my mind has been changed. Great teaching, great professor and great fun.
Very knowledgeable about the topics disgusted. If you show up and pay attention you can do very well in the class.
Hes a really good professor. He has a lot of experience in the field of business law so his lectures are very interesting and informative. He does reference the book in his lectures. However he gives his personal experiences that help us to better understand business law. Make sure you show up to class and participate. If you do you will get an A.
Honors BLAW 235 covers topics that may be difficult to understand at first, but Professor Lange explains nearly everything using real-life examples, making the concepts much easier to grasp. He takes the time to recognize the individual needs and strengths of the students, and modifies his teaching style to push each student for success.
Proffesor James is a nice guy and he is funny in class, his classes are easy to understand and he will go over it with you again if you didn't understand it. He is very willing to help his students and care for them. i would definitely take his class again.
Lectures are usually very interesting. He talks about real cases that he has dealt with, so it's easier to connect ideas. That also makes the class a lot less cookie-cutter, which is really nice. Humorous, so class is usually pretty engaging. One of the few classes that I actually enjoy going to
Professor Lange is a really good professor. He always starts out class with current events and tries relates them to the material we've learned. He's always telling real cases he has worked on to help students learn better. Which also makes it easier to recall the facts during exams. I would definitely recommend others to take his class.
Great professor! The material he teaches is boring but he makes it super exciting and fun. He tells a lot of interesting stories about the cases he's had. He also makes you think about the legal side of things in a very different way instead of jumping right to your first instinct. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE.
Easily one of the best professors I've had so far in my time at St Cloud State. Very fun and interesting professor that will give you real-life advice that will help you in any career you wish to pursue.
Truly wants his students to learn. Teaches only the necessary information.
Great professor. Concentrates on functional use of knowledge, not just memorization of facts. Engaging lectures and fun!
Professor Lange is the BEST professor at SCSU. He makes the class very interesting and relates topics to current events. He is super nice and always willing to help. He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. I highly recommend this professor!
Professor Lange is a fantastic professor at SCSU. He uses his own real life cases he has worked on and compares it to the lessons. He is respectful and will do anything to help his students succeed. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN
Lange is a great professor! Always super excited to teach and gives really interesting lectures. You will never be bored. Would definitely take again!
Very interesting lectures. Lange is very knowledgeable and its very enjoyable to have a professor with a good sense of humor! Would definitely recommend!
Reading case studies is required before attending classes.
Cool guy with good stories. Keeps class interesting and doesn't take himself too seriously which is a nice change from the traditional professor at St. Cloud. Definitely the professor to take if you have the option (in class).
He uses his own personal cases which allows students to gain a better understanding of the real life implications from information talked about in the book.
I took this course online and is mainly discussion based with one exam and have to write two (2) papers.
My favorite professor I've had at St. Cloud State. Very interesting lectures with real life cases and the focus to understand the material not to learn everything from a textbook and take a test. Very humorous professor that loves what he does and encourages class participation. If open immediately get in his class, they fill up quick!
Great professor, a really nice funny guy. Loves it when you participate in class, it also helps with the flow of class. Helps to read the book so you know whats actually happening in class. Overall good class.
He is a great professor overall! If you have the opportunity to take this class, don't hesitate. His lectures are very interesting. Remember to read the cases, go to lecture, pay attention and you'll do fine.
Professor Lange is one of the best Professors at SCSU. He lectures are very interesting. He incorporates cases he's worked on into his lectures which helps drive home the concepts. He is super respectful and wants his students to succeed. If you have a chance to take the class with him, I would definitely recommend it!
he is one of the best teachers you will ever see. he is friendly and kind all his lectures are amazing. you will never feel bored with him. well he is the best.
I took this online so I can't speak to his teaching style. I had a 60 question exam due EVERY week (half true/false, half multiple choice) and was usually paired with a discussion. Seemed to be a little more law based and less business in my opinion. Feel like I learned a lot! There's supposed to be a few papers but he only had us do one of them.
He was/is a very good professor. Instead of reading the power point he gives real life examples and proves how to use the textbook in real life. Very funny. Encapsulates the whole class together. All in all a great guy
Amazing class, would take again in a heartbeat. Class is engaging and involving; tests are based on a class consensus, and professor keeps class involved and is super funny throughout. Cares about each individual, and does his best to make sure you learn something new each class; not only Stay on track, but makes sure you learn more about the world
Fun professor. Very interactive lectures.
Professor Lange is an amazing person and teacher. He keeps the class interesting by keeping everyone involved. He shares his own personal experiences to give a greater definition of the topic. I loved this class and honestly looked forward to going to it everyday!
This class is a MUST TAKE. If I didn't care about my grades I would wanna purposely fail this class so I can retake it every single semester for 4 years. He's that great of a professor. Lange really has a talent in teaching and he incorporates cases he's worked on in his lectures so we get a better understanding of the topic in the real world.
He's one of the most engaging professors I've had at SCSU. He explains concepts in great detail and relates everything to examples relevant to his students. You'd be hard pressed to find a better business law professor. I'd recommend him highly.
The class is fun so far, and I have learned a lot. More of a business focus pertaining to law class.
Intimidating guy(Im not sure if he means to be) but his lectures are awesome, if you show up you're going to learn! And when he says "welcome to the rousing edition of BLAW436" you better believe it's going to be rousing. Also, if you're a socially awkward person like me, this class will be a bit stressful but just suck it up bc it's worth it!
Great teacher, really enjoyable lectures, tests aren't too tough, and he grades fairly
Professor Lange explains most of the laws covered with personal experience. Lectures are interesting. Come to class prepared to participate. I strongly recommend taking this course.
Professor Lange is an amazing professor. What you learn in class sticks with you, because of his interesting personal examples/stories. Not only do you learn academically in his class, but he makes it a point to provide useful life lessons that are pertinent inside and outside of the classroom.
Need to take BLAW235? This is the Professor to take it from. Be prepared to participate, the class time revolves around group discussion (weekly Cases). Professor Lange explains concepts well and teaches the material in an engaging manner. Read the weekly material. Knowing it makes the class time much more enjoyable. Don't skip class!
Show up and read the cases. Do that and you are set! Plus the lectures are very interesting.
Definitely recommend taking Professor Lange!
He is a genuine guy. Show up to class, pay attention and make sure you get the book. You will easily pass this class if you do all of those. Funniest teacher I have had in awhile. I would take this class again just for his humor.
His lectures are absolutely scrumptious. Overall funny dude -- kind of a spitfire, though. Honestly just show up, read the cases, and meaningfully participate. If the class collectively demonstrates the "importace of pretending to give a sh*t," he lets you have take-home exams.
Class turns business law into something interesting for everyone. It's good course and I would take it again!
James is very knowledgeable about the subject. He makes class fun and worth coming to. Notes are hard to take but he posts slides online. He jokes around and is able to relate each subject to you.
Hes a great professor. Cares about you learning something you can apply in your life. Show up to class and pay attention, hes easy going but expects participation. You will do fine.
Has a wealth of Knowledge and expierences in the field and passes it along to the class. He is very personal is one of the only professors who has even made an effort to know all the names of the students in the auditorium. funny and energetic great class to wake up to
Great professor. Good lecturers. Class participation required.
Great professor, talks about current events related to laws.
Very funny guy who knows a lot about the business world. Uses his experiences and knowledge to help you learn. No regrets taking this class with him!
Gives lively lectures. Show up and participate a little and you'll be set!
The best Professor I've ever seen.
James Lange is one of the best professors in St. Cloud. He has great jokes and his lectures are easy to understand. He adds stories to each concept so it's easy to remember. If you want an easy and fun class, take his!!
A gem of a teacher to learn from. Has many great stories that tie in with the material for the day. Hilarious, laid-back, and informative, any student will not regret being in this class.
Lange is one of the best professors out there at SCSU. He makes the material interesting and enjoyable for the class. He truly cares for his students education and interests. Highly recommend you take this class. Make sure you come to class and participate. This class is my favorite by far. Do yourself a favor and enroll.
James lange is well rounded in many subjects, funny and , South Dakotan loving professor. Great lectures, always entertaining and loved to have fun in class. Would recommend him to anyone.
Professor Lang is great at keeping your attention during his lectures. The book is NEEDED for his class for the exams. For our class he posted the power points - so I didn't take notes. Because paying attention and participating is one of the best ways to understand the material. I WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN!
Lange is one heck of a professor! Love the way he teaches his lectures. Always looking forward in attending his classes. Hes a funny and charismatic dude. Youll never get bored with this Professor. Id take his class again no doubt about it.
Course so far is easy and fair. Taking notes is optional. Keeps a good pace in the class and is never boring. Take home exams are possible if class participates well in his lectures.
Prof. Lange is an amazing teacher. Loves to interact with students during lectures. Course so far is great! His material isnt boring and he likes to incorporate his stories within the class. Awesome class, take it!
Great professor, he is funny guy with great stories related to business law.
Tells funny stories and makes class a lot more fun rather than boring. He cares about the students success and does his best to make sure we understand the material.
Good taste in music and has great stories that relate to the lecture.
If you have the chance to take the online or on campus class, do the on campus class because it's literally the same thing but you get to listen to his fun lectures. Some of the best real life advice. Super chill dude. Be prepared to laugh and have a good time.
Great teacher who's lectures are very interesting and can be used not only in the future but now as well
Professor Lange had really good lectures that were very informational. He told stories that were very relatable which made the class more interesting. All around a good professor. Super funny too
Awesome professor. I would like take home exam.
For a non business background, I find this course very fun and interesting with Professor Lange. He keeps his lecture fun and he is so hilarious. Definitely recommend this class
Lange is awesome, no homework , funny lectures. Best teacher for business law. Recommended taking him for any class you can.
Great professor. He makes ever class interesting and my favorite by by far
Great teacher, very knowledgeable and always willing to help
Easy, fun class & professor who I would take again. Attendance does matter and participation matters. Goes through each chapter on a slide show for lectures. If anything just read the cases so you can participate in class. One paper assigned and tests are take home.
Very helpful Professor. Real life example to help understand the lecture
Take this professor if you get the chance! He makes boring topics fun and interesting, and I enjoyed going to class everyday! Overall he is a very good professor and I would definitely take again
30 discussion posts (gives you multiple topics each week, need to do 2 a week but technically not all due until the end of the semester), one paper (4 pages then citations) and one exam (you will need the textbook to do the exam). THE BEST PROFESSOR! WOULD TAKE AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT (but I'm graduating so I can't!).
Caring professor, easy class. would recommend
Absolutely loved him in my BLAW 235! One of the best teachers I've had from the past 2 years, and the only one I've actually gone on here to rate lol. He doesn't act like a grumpy old professor, he's really chill and relatable. Even though I never met him in person, he was fantastic.
He is so fun to listen to even at 11am. He has funny stories, a fun personality, and if you show up and do the work (which isn't much) you can pass. His quizzes are open book and there is no way you cant enjoy and pass this class. He is very knowledgeable and has a large background in majors and minors. He will pick on you from time to time.
Such an amazing professor! Class is mandatory but his classes are the most fun I've ever had in class. Extremely entertaining and fun! PARTICIPATE and you will pass easy A! I would take him 100000 more times if I could! If you can take a joke, you'll love him and always laugh when in class! He is extremely entertaining and funny!
Took this course online, so I cant speak much about how he is in person -- thanks covid. I took his course online and it was such an easy A. He gave great feedback and was always willing to help. All quiz answers are on quizlet so don't bother buying the book. Not really any homework, just weekly quizzes and discussions. Fun and interesting class.
We had two papers about 4 pages due during the semester and weekly discussion posts to do. There was also a big test for the midterm as the final. Lange is great, he provided lots of good feedback on my papers and had a great sense of humor. The discussion posts had lots of current examples which were interesting to read and discuss.
Awesome professor. Literally the best professor I have taken. Show up, do your weekly quizzes and discussions and you'll get an A.
Awesome professor! This course was definitely nor easy or hard, but if you put in the work and do the discussions, write the papers well, and semi do well on the exam, you should be fine. He is also very funny! I enjoyed reading what he'd send, and was a really open professor imo.
Professor Lange was one of a kind, in a good way. Such a quirky and funny guy. Put in the work with writing your discussion posts, writing the paper, completing your homework and perform well on the exams. This course can either be easy or hard, depending on your own work ethic.
2 papers, weekly discussions and 4-5 quizzes due on MindTap every few weeks. Super easy grader and not hard to pass if you put in some work. Took it online but seemed like a great guy
There is 2 large papers, weekly discussions that have good topics and not the basic college discussion post boring topics, and some online course work that is worked into the online book that is really easy. James is a really helpful professor who goes out of his way to make sure you understand the class. Willing to get on the phone and talk.
First class I've taken asynchronously. Prof. Lange made it easy for me to stay on track and kept the class engaged with cool topics for discussion posts. He makes it very clear how to get an A in the class.
Outstanding professor. Class is fueled by discussion posts that are genuinely interesting and thought-provoking, as well as a couple papers and some MindTap assignments. He cares tremendously about his students and their success. A little unorganized but he gives a ton of leeway with homework, just don't plagiarize. Do the work and it's an easy A.
By far one of the greatest professors Ive taken! Really passionate and enjoys what he does which reflects on his students! He is straight forward and well organized. I learned a lot in the little time i was able to take the course. Stay consistent. Stay active, enjoy and learn from his valuable lessons!
I absolutely loved this class. Professor Lange makes the class super interesting and fun. He loves to tell storys that relate to the material and it just makes the class way more enjoyable. Overall, the class is easy. You just have to put in the work.
One of the only professors lectures that is interesting for the entire class period. He is very knowledgeable on so many various topics. If you have a question, he has an answer. There is a paper with various options to choose from. If you put in the work, you will get a good grade. He is definitely my favorite professor!
Professor Lange is one of my favorite professors. He teaches through real life cases, which makes it a fun and interactive learning environment. I really enjoy going to class and would highly recommend taking his classes.
Best Professor in the SCSU you will ever find. Mark my words. Have to do your assignments as instructed. Just grab a seat, buckle up, and RELISH, Folks.
Dr. Lange gives amazing lectures about real-world situations. Do your assignments, attend class, participate in class, and you will pass no doubt. If this isn't your favorite professor by the end of your course, take him again.
Professor Lange is one a kind at beautiful, wonderful St. Cloud State University on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River. His lectures are extremely practical and come from his own real experiences as an attorney. He wants students to become movers and shakers in the job market. Take this class and get ready to absorb everything you hear.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's time to rate Dr. Lange from the wonderful St. Cloud State University on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River. Truly an amazing and funny guy with great real life examples and stories to make all subjects within the class interesting. I shall miss him.
He grades things very late, don't expect to know your final grade until everything is done at the end of the semester. He likes to put student emails on D2L announcements when I assume he thinks them as redundant. For papers, he puts everyone's grades together and does not give individualized feedback.
Professor Lange is an amazing professor and person. He tells many stories and personal experiences from his work as a lawyer to tie into the lessons we learn in class. Homework and quizzes arent bad at all and you only have about 1-2 easy papers. Highly recommend taking a course with this process if you want a chill lecture environment.
I absolutely loved this class and professor. He is seriously the best professor Ive had so far at SCSU. Even though he acts tough, he truly cares for his students and loves what he does. I hope to have him for another class in the future.
Mr. Lange is a professional with real world experience. The perspective of his profession brings a lot to his classes.
The best professor at SCSU, The man is an actual lawyer so everything he's teaching you will be applicable in the real world. I wish he could teach more courses for my major. He enjoys his job unlike most teacher. He makes jokes in the class and tells stories about his life experiences. I passed with an A and im not the best student out there so!!
Definitely recommend professor Lange. His class is pretty straightforward, as long as you are following along and paying attention to due dates you should learn a lot and get a good grade! He seems like a really happy and caring teacher who makes sure students see a positive side to life! Great teacher, not a lot of teachers out there like him!
Online asynchronus, so pretty much did the book assignments, wrote a paper, and 4 open-book tests. If you take it online, you don't have to read the powerpoints. Makes jokes in his content and D2L posts, which is great! Wish I was a BLAW major just so I could take his classes again.
Mr. Lange is a great teacher. His lectures are very light, educative, and humorous. He'll make you smile even if you come to class tired. He'll berate you if you are a latecomer to class, but he won't hold it against you. Participate decently in class and you'll pass exceptionally well. Also no major or final exams, just assignments, and 1-2 papers
There were assignments, papers(easy as long as you put in some effort), and discussion posts. He gives great examples and cares a lot about his students. If you don't show up to class it is your own fault for the grade you receive. He understands that we are accounting students, and he does not make this a difficult class.
Professor Lange is an incredible, caring human being with love in his heart for everyone. His syllabus is clear and his coursework is educational while not being too difficult. As long as you are willing to learn, he will take any step necessary to ensure your success. Great teacher, take him if you get the chance.
The professor's class is very interesting, both in the content of the class and the atmosphere of the class. The professor doesn't assign a lot of homework. I really enjoyed this class.
Prof. Lange is pretty good!!!
Professor Lange was a fabulous professor for BLAW 235. The course was very easy to complete, with a lot of clear instructions given out at the beginning of the year. Most of it was a self-paced course, but he made sure to keep us on track to get everything done. Overall, great professor and a great course!
Fantastic professor for a fantastic course. It is a self paced class, with most of the work being small homework assignments and discussion posts. Four exams through the semester, and one paper.
Second course taken with Prof. Lange. His classes are very straightforward with minimal assignments beyond weekly quizzes and discussions. Two papers make this class manageable and digestable as a law course.
Tests were pretty easy if you looked at the material on MindTap. Also, make sure on Mindtap assignments that you only do the ones with a due date. You don't have to do any of the others even if they say "Counts towards grade". We had to do about two discussion posts a week that were very easy to complete. Overall, it was a really good class.
Professor Lang, is awesome not only does his lectures keep you engaged but also the way he presents material sticks with you well beyond taking the class!
Absolute legend
Professor Lange was an amazing professor. He taught in a way that was very unique, and because he is an attorney as well he helped you understand concepts by using his real life examples. He made it very easy to learn and was big on helping you actually understand the concepts, so there was very little homework it was mostly just lectures.
He's really helpful and approachable. If you do what is expected, you will do well in the class. He gave a lot of time for assignments, exams and discussions to be completed. He's a very interesting individual who made the class interesting, but not in a boring way. I would take him again if I could.
Very fair and kind professor, class is relatively fair to succeed in and I would highly suggest taking his class in business law.
Very awesome professor!! Very kind and helpful! Loved his class!!
He's fun. Get ready to be hilariously offended. He makes law really fun. Picks at your brain. You actually learn something.
One of the best professors I've ever had! He made the semester fun and made sure the work was interactive and applicable.
The best professor!!!! The best lectures that will definitely make you laugh. He has so many real-life examples to go along with the lectures. 100% take his class.
I took this class in a 7-week time period. There was a lot of homework due, but there were 2 weeks to get it done. The professor was very kind and caring. I highly recommend taking a class with him.
He is the best professor i have ever had, he is reasonable and very flexiable. His lectures are long but fun and interesting, so many great examples! definitely have him for Blaw.
Awesome professor
Great Professor, very witty and really good sense of humor, combined with descriptive stories makes the lectures the most interesting and informative.
Makes his expectations clear in the syllabus. All homework is online and he gives you a long time to get them done. But like he says, don't wait till the last second to do it. His lectures are fun and laid back and he is a easy grader. Just go to class and engage in the lectures and you will be okay
easy professor, great class. Just do your assignments ahead of deadlines and you will be fine.
It was a great class, and I loved the professor's attitude! As a procrastinator it was a little tough to get everything done in a timely manner and he does not accept any late work, with that being said, the class is great and easy but definitely don't procrastinate because that will make it tough. Overall, I would take this course again!
Don't wait until the last minute to complete assignments, and try to work ahead on assignments and discussions, because he doesn't accept late work. Don't lose the name tag you get at the begining of the semester, you can get another one, but he will call you out about losing it. Will find the shy/timid students and target them whenever possible.
Professor Lange is a captivating lecturer who makes dry topics engaging. Minimal homework, fair grading, and engaging examples make this class a breeze. unstuckstudy ai is a helpful study tool for this course.
Legitimately one of, if not THE best professor I have had during my college education career. Never failed to make me laugh and make any lecture entertaining no matter the topic. Always looked forward to a class with him and will 100% take more courses with him.
He is the best professor I've ever had. Their classes are engaging, and interesting, and make learning enjoyable. He explain things clearly and keep everyone involved. I always look forward to attending their lectures!"
Fun class, in the beginning you'll have to write a lengthy paper but that's all you'll have to do for the rest of the year other than the mindtap homework. 2 responses in discussion posts required every week. Easy and interesting class. I recommend taking this class with Prof. Lange.
I really enjoyed taking Professor Lange's class! It was simple, and I could easily get the homework/studying done over one weekend each month. There are a lot of discussion posts but only one paper, so it wasn't too hard. I would definitely recommend anyone who needs/wants to take BLAW to have him as your professor.
Pretty cool guy, Interesting lectures that makes you want to go to class.
This professor makes the class really easy. Each week you do some reading then take a quiz that is laid back and allows you to check your work before you submit. Then there is discussion, which just requires two simple posts per week. Lastly, there is a D2L quiz on all the homework you did which is basically just the quiz questions. Easy A.
great professor helps a lot and makes a hard class really easy you do your work you'll have an easy A
Prof. James Lange had fantastic lectures. I recommend taking him in person since you will learn lots of life skills among other things. The main graded materials came from an online textbook and MindTaps which are short quizzes that allowed you to check your work. There are also four quizzes/exams and a required number of discussion posts due.
This professor was very inspirational and I always wanted to go to the next class.
This guy is a very fun teacher, he gives equal shit to everyone in a way that says he cares, but that he also is serious. He is very knowledgeable and will not be afraid to challenge your perspective and ideas when it comes to law and pop-culture references to our political landscape.
Professor Lange made coming to class fun even when the subject matter was dry and boring. As long as you participate in class and complete the homework you will do really well in his class.
Great professor he may come across hard but he's really great and really cares about the students. He has a lot of knowledge I wish he taught more classes. Attendance is important and read carefully on things he posts!!
He is a really good teacher and just so the homework and you should get a good grade! Also, there are 2 papers and just Leo good and start early on those! Awesome teacher!
I would take another class with him in a heartbeat if I could. I feel like the classes you take as a business major become repetitive and boring but this class was new and awesome. It made me think of things differently and made me use my brain in ways I haven't in a while. Half the grade is 2 5 page papers, 25% mind tap and 25% discussion posts.
Funny, witty, helpful, and course is well outlined online and you know exactly what to expect from the course!!!
Honestly I don't think I will remember any other professor the way I'll remember Professor Lange, but in a good way. He's clear with expectations. Has a creative side and likes to joke around but still holds good intentions for you to succeed and understand the course of course. May this post be your swaying factor if you are unsure.
AMAZING! Engaging and funny lectures. Teaches by using examples from his experiences, so it made learning pretty easy. There are Mindtap assignments--but they have multiple attempts. Get the assignments done and come to class--boom, easy A. I've already recommended him to so many students. CHOOSE HIM FOR BIZLAW
Great guy.
