Reviews of professor Alexander Lang

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Lang's class and exams are VERY heavy on his lecture material. You need to take notes. His midterm and final are pretty straight forward, usually defining terms and a quick essay or two. He makes sure you are prepared for it though. There is a lot of reading, but he isn't picky about the interpretation of it.

Unique class in modern Italy. Prof has solid knowledge and passion for the subject when teaching us. We had a book to read & 5 pg paper on it, and a semester paper of 10 pgs. The midterm was Id terms and short essay. This was a good class! I didn't know much about modern Italy before taking this class and so I feel like I've learned a lot

Lots of reading! Post by Thursday and reply by Sunday on d2l discussion boards, late posts are a loss of some points that week. One 4-5 page paper to do. Expects you to really get down deep and analyze the readings and really discuss it thoroughly. Midterm and finals are identification paragraphs and short essays, no multiple choice.

He's a good professor that knows his stuff, conveys material clearly, long lectures, midterm was matching & short essay. Final is ID terms & essays. one 4-5 page paper to do. D2l reading discussion in class every week. his teaching style isn't for everyone, but he does his best to help you understand the subject. Take his class if you enjoy history

LOTS of reading the textbook and d2l text readings. Lecture heavy and he will ask about d2l reads in class and expect participation talk, Pop quizzes on d2l reads right at the start of class. Midterm and finals are using Identification paragraphs and short essays, no multiple choice. The class will include a 4-5 page paper to do on a d2l read.

I really appreciated how good he did transitioning the class to online during the pandemic. I feel like I continued to learn the material. Good prof and I would take again
