Not very good. Learned nothing about non Linux OS's. Books assigned are absolutely useless for testing, he doesn't use them at all. During lecture, he mumbles A LOT, very hard to hear. Very difficult to get him to help if you are having trouble. CONSTANTLY talks about work he did in the '80's and Japan.

The most boring class in my entire existence. Since I don't know squat about computers and programming, his lectures are difficult to understand and therefore boring. Almost all of his slides are opinions and he doesn't explain anything. He just introduce something and say how cool it is and moves on. I guessed on the tests and got an A.

just read your textbook, he only talks about Japan in class. Trust e the lectures don't help. Just read the chapters and take good notes and you'll pass.

Just not a helpful professor at all, whenever you asked about something, he'd never know the answer. Avoid this professor, really. Unless you depend on being more bored than you'll ever be, and having to teach yourself. He just reads off of very simple slides word for word. The Assignments are easy, and actually interesting. The tests are VERY HARD

Take a class with this professor if you're interested about his trip to Japan. He reads directly from the slides, and the slides are very unhelpful. If you're stuck with him, just don't go to the class. It's a waste of time. All you need to do is read and take notes on the book and you'll pass. The assignments are easy and have video guides.

Lectures were super boring. Syllabus was not clear. It is a Computer Network class but we still had to write a useless paper that you will NEVER use in real life and learn nothing. Tests are super hard. Final was terrible. I don't think anyone could get an A in the final. I am lucky I passed this class. If it isn't a must, dodge his classes. Beware

You will not learn anything about computer networking in this class. Take a LIS class with real network material if you are serious about it. He caught couple people sleeping in his lectures. I also don't know why we had to write a paper for a computer science class. Waste of time. No lab access but you get graded for your lab work. Terrible confusion about what to for assignments and paper. Tests are nothing you listen in class or see in slides. You will fail his final test.

This class was a lot of work and some boring lecture. Tests were really hard and too many questions in the tests. Get ready to write a 10 page paper also. Mandatory attendance. He is too busy to help. teaches like 4 classes. no time for you. Final was super hard. Tuff grading. Not a good class to take if it is not on your academic map.

Useless class. A lot of Japan talk. You will fall asleep during lectures. Also you cannot record lectures. He got mad when he found out someone was actually recording. Very hard midterm & final. You will fail his final. No lab access other than class time but u r graded for lab work. Confusing paper assignment with no explanation and details.Unfair

Do not waste your money for the books and your time for this class. There is not much help since he is always busy. You are on your own and tests are really hard. Just avoid his classes. This is my 2nd class and I should have known better not to take a class with him. All lectures are from Powerpoints to make sure you are asleep during class time.

Seriously? Go satisfy computer skills requirements with some other class. Do not take this class. You will fell asleep in class.Powerpoint classes and expensive books you don't even use. Terribly hard tests. Grading is unfair. Take some other class instead of this one. Too busy to help students. TA grades your work. You will not learn anything new.

You will have to teach yourself if you take any of his classes. I took two already and this was worse than the previous one. Mid Term was ok but final was terribly hard. You will fail the final if you do not study couple thousand pages of reading material. Some were sleeping in class from boring powerpoint lectures.Good luck if you signed up for it

The assignments were extremely easy but the tests were near impossible and Randolph is no help at all. Pretty much does everything he can to avoid students and sends them to his TA. Grading sucks on top of that. Unfortunately, he's almost the only professor for CGS 2100 so all you future students are screwed

Hands down one of the worst professors. Does not explain anything in class just rambles about "cool" articles that have nothing to do with class. Gives you assignments that mean nothing and doesn't explain what to do for the assignment.

Useless assignments and class lectures. Nothing hands on. Tests are not even about anything talked in class. Terrible grading. There is NO WAY to talk to him. You have to go to a TA who has no clue about grading. ABSOLUTELY no help to any student. You are stuck with a TA that grades terrible and no where to be found. AVOID taking him if you can.

The first semester this guy had atleast 100 kids just walk out and drop his class on the first day

First test was terrible. Everyone I know and myself made a C with the curve.I don't think made an A in class. Terrible grading and hard test. TA does not know how to grade assignments. Terrible grading by the TA also. Assignments are not clear. no help or explanation from professor. We did not even go over the test in class after the test. Useless.

No fair grading both the professor and the TA. Too much to read. A lot of articles. Some of them are useful but we don't get graded on articles we read. Many people already dropped the class. TA needs to be fair on grading as well as the professor. I wish there was more help other than TA option only. He is no help.

He's probably the most boring professor on campus. You can't hear a word he says during his lectures, which contain completely useless information. Don't go to class, the assignments are really easy and the online powerpoints are the only way to study for the test.

This class is completely pointless, no reason to go to class at all. No need to have a textbook either, I didn't touch mine. Just do the assignments which are a majority of the grade and I used study guides from other people for the concepts test. I could never get higher than an 80 but with the assignments it is still possible to get an A.

No one has any clue to what happens in this class. We submitted bunch of work never got our grades back! No feedback for any work we have done. Useless lectures that no one understand but couple of people. You will never get ur grades. He avoids student emails, office hours, no help what so ever. U r on ur own with no grading until after semester.

You do not get help from this professor. You will also not have any of your grades until after everything is done in semester. Kind of too late to see what you made in the first assignment of the semester. Lectures are from powerpoints and all painful. He does not give any feedback or communicate. Never was able to talk to him all semester. Useless

Worst teacher you will ever have. If you enjoy being confused and lost this is definitely the class to take. I am currently sitting in class and have no idea whether he is talking about computers or just rambling.

Boring, rambles, not very helpful. Nobody shows up for lecture because often he is distracted about something which is hardly relevant to the topic of conversation.

All this professor do is drone on and on and on. Class is easy, but he just lectures about nonsense. Don't come to class.

May be an easier instructor, BUT you will hate the class no matter what. You will not learn anything. He expects you to learn by reading. His notes are terrible. He comes across as a nice person, but he cannot lecture, and he requires you must attend class for a large enough portion of your grade that you will not want to miss it. PUTS NO EFFORT IN

AWFUL. DO NOT TAKE. AVOID HIS CLASSES AT ANY COST.

This man is actually the most boring professor in the whole school. He talks about so many random topics in lecture that everyone who shows up leaves. DONT GO TO CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!! He looks like the sloth from Zootopia!!

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT take this guy. He rambles on about useless stuff that leaves you wondering why you ever signed up for the class. Do not buy the access code, it is useless and costs a small fortune. Study powerpoints and do the online quizzes and you should be ok. He's a nice guy, just not a good teacher.

Don't come anywhere near this guy. He's so smart that he doesn't know how to communicate. He comes in with no prepared lecture, just rambles off the top of his head about archaic computer/language information that has no relevance to the course. He takes attendance, but it doesn't matter. If you have to take him, don't show up. Easy class, boring.

I can't speak for his personality because I took his online class but reading the other reviews I'm realizing I already had a clear portrait of this guy. He's a dinosaur teaching a computer class in 2017. He enforces submitting assignments through Internet Explorer over "less-used" browsers such as Chrome. His assignments are extremely tedious. 1/5

Avoid at all costs.

Incredibly smart guy, but his lectures are terrible. He meanders around the classroom mumbling into his microphone, reading articles verbatim about obscure programming languages. Assignments aren't challenging, but require hours of digging through his convoluted wording. Expect to learn straight from the textbook all semester.

This class is almost unbearable. I'm taking it for my computer competency credit so I sorta needed to take it, but if you can avoid him-do it. Don't buy the access code, don't really need to go to class (just do the assignments ON TIME) and for the 2 exams, they are really random and it is hard to prepare. powerpoints and quizlet only do so much

I thought this class was gonna be easy but I walked out of the midterm with a 72 (I am a straight A student). My final exam is in 12 hours and I will get an A- only if I get a 100. Mind you these exams are impossible. This class was way harder than it is supposed to be. He gives you no tools to study for the exams. Good luck. You're gonna need it.

I went to class most days and there was an average of probably 30/500 people. Assignments are clear and have steps w/ pictures. Don't save till the night before though incase you get stuck, he doesn't accept late work. His lectures didn't help me on either test. tests are 50% the study guide and 50% essentially random computer things. easy A or B.

Yeah he's not good lol

I took cgs2100 online and thought it was going to be extremely easy, but it wasnt. He doesnt give you a lot to do, just 5 assignments and 2 exams, but the exams were difficult and the study guide he supplies you with may only help you with a few questions on the exams. tests you on a large amount of chapters which includes 100s of definitions

I've never skipped a class before until this class. It is so painful to listen to this man talk about higher level material that has nothing to do with our course. The exams are a complete guessing game and I've learned nothing. AVOID TAKING IT!

Don't show up to class, you won't need to. He literally is so boring and talks about everything but what's important. He never took attendance either. The homework is easy, and the practice exams he posts online (with the answer key) are literally verbatim half of the real exams he gives.

i haven't even taken a test yet, or done an assignment, but it's the second day and he's talking about steamships and bicycle chains in an excel class

He just rambles on about nothing, it is my second day in this class and whenever he talks, I can feel the life draining from my body. Definitely avoid this, it seems like an easy class but Langley is borderline unbearable.

He is lecturing to a group of 450 students right now but does not care that not a single one of us can neither hear or understand him.

Get me out of this class lol

Bro we are siting here and this guys is talking about nonsense currently there we are on wikipedia talking about residency of Estonia in a excel class please explain

Terrible. He refuses to speak loud enough so that all students can hear him, even with a microphone. My peers have requested that he raise his volume, and he actually starts mumbling more! Also, he moves too quickly through assignments, does not look up, and does not hear his name being called. In most lectures, he talks about random things. BAD.

I honestly don't think he understands the purpose for this class. He just rambles about whatever he feels like talking about for the day. None of his lectures are planned, and therefore, do not matter. He basically just walks back and forth, stares at the ground, and talks to himself.

This dude is the worst. Walks back and forth and stares at the ground while rambling about whatever he feels like, 90% of it having nothing to do with the class.

TAKE ONLINE. For test 1 (our first graded assignment), which we had in early November, he gave us an ungraded quiz the night before to study, so basically useless. Then, for our 2nd essay, which was about Intellectual Property, he told us 4 days before it was due that it needed to be 20-30 paragraphs. Not even the TA's knew what was going on.

Lectures are borderline useless, no organization or structure to them. Lack of reasonable communication skills. Assignments were 1/4 of our grades, yet he waited till the last 3 weeks of the semester to begin assigning them.

Attendance is mandatory for the first half of the semester. Eventually, he stopped doing it. Unfortunately you cant skip his dull lectures. However, he is a fair teacher. If you don't agree with your grades, he is willing to find a compromise if you put in the work. Doesn't use Canvas so good luck on finding out what is your grade.

Lectures are USELESS except for the attendance grade, but he rarely even takes attendance so. Tests are super specific word for word questions about the BOOK. He's a nice guy, but he does not care at all about telling you what to focus on, what to write about for the papers, & the syllabus is NEVER updated. Awful class, awful prof.

Every class is a lecture that focuses more on ethical articles than testable material. For example, the midterm contained one question from the material he covered in lecture. The rest were from the textbook. Additionally, he does not reply to an email for about two weeks and neglects providing information on the grades you achieve.

Had Langley for multiple classes, easy A but the hard part is getting through his lectures. Practically talks gibberish for an hour. Do not recommend.

If you like busy work that is off topic, you'll love Langley! Horrible professor that drones on in his lectures. Instead of giving us handouts that would help us better learn the information from class, he gives programming assignments in languages that nobody uses for seemingly no reason.

Caring professor that asks way too much of his students. 50% of my grade weighted on two test and another 15% weighted on 1 project, that had extremely ridiculous requirements (rewrite an entire compiler). Not to mention I was given 9 assignments throughout the semester that only counted for 15% of my final grade. If you can avoid Langely, do it.

I tried commenting "Absolute dog p o o p" but it didn't let me. So I will just say absolute dog s#!%

Terrible professor. Assignments have nothing to do with the class. Lecture is useless, he just babbles off topic. Final project is ridiculous. Nobody knows how to do it and its worth 15% of your grade. He makes you rewrite an entire compiler without any instruction of how to do it. Largest waste of my time ive ever had for a class.

Avoid at all costs. Worst prof at FSU.

PLEASE LOOK UP AT YOUR STUDENTS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE This man will drone on for 20 minutes (or more) at a time without looking up for questions. If you're confused about anything be prepared to hold your arm up until it falls off and you give up. And trust me, you're gonna be confused considering that the lectures rarely ever relate to each other

AVOID. Communication is terrible, he doesn't use canvas and never sends emails or announcements to the class! He rambles during lecture and then assigns work that is completely unrelated to what he has taught. Course materials are dated, the dates in his syllabus are incorrect. His teaching style and expectations for the class are incredibly vague.

You'll learn more staring at a wall than actually going to one of his lectures. He just babbles about things he feels like talking about and not things that we actually work on. Should not be employed and it is embarrassing that the school has not done anything about it considering how many negative reviews he has over such a long period of time.

Professor Langley is a nice person with a broad range of interests and life experiences. However, these interests often lead to tangents during the optional lectures that prompted me to instead spend that time reading (& reading & reading). The ethics content is pretty dull, but I suppose he tries to draw connections to current events.
