Comment:

Evgen is an extremely difficult course but Dr. Langeland teaches it well. He cares about his students and wants everyone to do well, by far one of the best professors I've had at K. Work load is overwhelming so make sure you don't take it with other super demanding courses and you'll do fine. Attendance isn't mandatory but GO TO LECTURE!!!!!

Good teacher, with great metaphors, but there is a lot of material to remember. He makes some really great accommodations, to try to test what the student knowns AKA offers test accommodations. A LOT OF MATERIAL!

Langeland is really clear, but beware. His lectures seem very easy, but reading the book is necessary for the tests and complete understanding. Good lecturer.

Langeland knows his stuff but lectures can be extremely disorganized and, consequently, quite confusing. He can also be rude.

The course is designed to weed out a lot of pre med kids so it is naturally hard. He does seem to play favorites, but it is to an extent. If you make an effort he will also.

Good teacher. For everyone else, why would you take a biology class if you don't believe in evolution. This is ridiculous. EVOLUTION IS A FACT!

Well, if you don't happen to agree with him, you may as well not take his courses. I'll stop there so I don't get sued. Let's just say that if I could take those courses back, I would.

Experimental molecular is worth the pain. It's a tough class but you'll learn a ton. The lab experience is great.
