I'll miss how funny he was and how fun his class was even though it was math. He didn't offer to help students outside of class, only the T.A.s would. But, if you went to class (and got alot of extra credit for it) and didn't have your head up your butt, then you wouldn't need help. Easy class, and great fun.

He makes everything seem easy in class but when I get my tests back I do lousy. Still, class is entertaining which is good because I am terrible at math. I'm worried because the first test I got and F on and the second test I got an A on.. but I hear that because there is so many bonus points that it's hard to get anything less than a B.

Jeff Lang simply stated is the man. He gives homework about once a week, and it takes awhile to do, but it's never too hard. His tests can be tricky, but if you do the study guide, and come for the review you are okay. He gives at least 1 bonus point for each class you attend, but I got 5 one day. He is really funny, and it's a fav class of mine!

You get extra credit for coming to class which is really nice in the end and he normally only keeps you for about 30 minutes, but he goes off on tangents of his past which sometimes distract from the class.

Last math class i took was Precalc junior year and got a C. Scored a 30 on my math and was placed into Calc 1. I was freaking out until i realized his lectures are fun and easy to follow.

Jeff is a very charismatic professor that loves to tell random stories to keep the students' attention.

Would take again

Lang is an amazing teacher and his lectures are incredibly informative, the class isn't difficult at all if you put in the effort to learn and succeed. Very clear on what's going to be in the exams, with a list of proofs that guarantee one will appear. He also gives extra credit for contributions in class.
