Reviews of professor Mark Lang

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
When I initially started this class I was very very concerned because he seemed like he was going to be very strict. He's not. Make sure to be on time, don't use your phone and you'll be fine. His tests are 5 questions based on the concepts covered. He's actually really really nice and isn't looking to give you a hard time.

No textbook but heavy reading materials provided. No clear grading criteria and grading is arbitrary. Does not give A's. Not hard to get a B. Graduate level marketing class and will not look at numbers or spreadsheets - prime example of everything negative the business community associates with marketing. Answers every question with a question

Good luck to you if you take him. He gives ABSOLUTELY no guidance on tests. You get tested on 6 chapters at a time and he says "read the textbook, look at the slides on blackboard, read over the lecture notes". NOT HELPFUL. He does not follow the textbook at all, but then expects you to know it, his lectures are nonsensical. Do not take him!!!

The setup of this class was AWFUL and STRESSFUL. No grades were given until the semester ended, making it hard to track progress. One midterm, one presentation, and a huge group project. He is not engaging at all and lectures all class, he also speaks very quietly. Despite being easy, the class was extremely boring and I dreaded going every time.

At the start of this class, I found myself worried and stressed out about how the semester would go. Prof. Lang is a great lecturer in my opinion and even though he is a tough grader he is preparing us to be great business students in the future. Also the real work experience he brings makes the class exciting.

Prof Lang was a good professor. He really cares about student's futures and wants to prepare you to be the best. But, this class was a ton of work. We worked very hard on the semester long group projects and I don't think anyone got an A. Exams are tough but not impossible, you just have to read the textbook outside of class.

I took his final a week ago and still have 0 idea what grade I have in his class. He doesn't enter any grades into blackboard. The material he teaches in class is pretty easy; however, his exams are AWFUL. The exams are based off the book but none of his lectures have anything to do with the book. Also, do NOT be late to class.
