Best professor I've ever had, and a friend. He's a cool guy that makes you want to learn, with a good sense of humor. Took art of the samurai and Survey of western art with him. Would recommend, gives extra credit, grades fairly, wants to see you pass, (occasionally gives you a chance for re-dos) and is very chill. Most interesting man award ^^

This class was great, Langlois was cool, its a shame he moved to NY. The man is definitely funny, and will keep you interested in the subject.

One of the best professors I've ever had. His teaching strategy kept me up to date on all areas of language. Best Japanese professor at Oakland by far.

Very funny class, guy was hilarious. But its pretty hard. If u dont go, dont expect to pass. Tests are pretty complicated, but if u study and go to class, u should do ok.

Excellent Professor! I had to work very hard in his class, but I learned a whole lot about the culture of Japan. I had about an inch and half of notes afterward, but it was worth it, managed to get a 4.0. Definately would take his class again!

He is the best professor I've ever had. He really cares about every student, and he cares about his subject. If you get the chance to take a language class with him, do it. He gives a lot of homework, but it's worth it. I love Langlois-sensei!

The tests can feel over whelming but there are only 2. If you study your notes and take his practice tests you'll do fine. He's really funny and just does a great job teaching.

Funniest man alive, sometimes I wasn't sure if I was at Oakland, or Comedy Castle. However tests are difficult, and he is unforgiving. Be prepared to take incredible amounts of notes, I can no longer use my right hand from taking so many notes.

Very funny professor. His test are hard, but if you study you should do fine. Only two exams and a paper due. He had lots of good movies that helped you relate to the ancient Japan.

Professor Langlois made Japanese history fun and interesting. He is a very down to earth teacher and makes himself available to students. If you are at all interested in Japanese culture take his IS 220 class!

He is THE BEST Japanese language professor you could hope for. He is organized, not only does he know the language, but he knows how to TEACH it. He takes time for each student individually. A mountain of homework, a lot of studying, a difficult class, but he makes you learn.

Best professor ever. He's smart, hilarious, and memorizes everyone's name. I had him for a night class and I only missed one class because I looked forward to going. He's awesome.

This class can be dull at times but he makes it as interesting as possible.He is entertaining & funny.He shows a lot of movies and brings in a lot of things to look at.He realizes some material is boring and tries to spice it up. Tests are killer but he helps you out on the points. Take notes!!!!!

This guy is, in his own words "kick ass!" I always wanted to go to class, he is funny and makes Japan interesting. Take notes in class and you should do fine on the tests. You have to take an IS class anyway, I highly recomend this one.

He is an awesome teacher! He makes class fun, he's got a very laid back teaching stlye. In JPN214, he gives out a lot of extra credit. On both the kanji and vocab quizes, you can get up to 5 points extra credit on each. I'm mad he isn't teaching 215 next semester!!

This was the hardest class I've ever had!!!!! But he has the most soothing voice, therefore he puts me to sleep every time I come to class. Its so hard to listen to him and take notes. He's a cool guy though! :-)
