Comment:
Dr. Richard Langley (Doc) was by far my favorite professor during my time at SFA. I credit his toughness and straight forward mentality for giving me the tools to earn my degree. He comes off as a tough, no nonsense guy and he is, but he also truly cares about each of his students. I am very glad that I had him as a professor.

Comment:
Dr. Langley was a great professor! I went into his class thinking it was going to be really challenging and no surprise... it was definitely a challenge. You must do your assigned homework problems or you will fail his tests. His tests are difficult, but he does give lots of partial credit. His class was my favorite and I would take him again.

Comment:
Dr. Langley is one of the toughest professors at the university. He is unclear and will make you feel stupid on purpose. He doesn't care whether you pass or fail, and he isn't very helpful at all. He wants you to know the material on his level, and makes every effort to be as unfair as possible.

Worst professor I have ever had. He makes the class and all of his tests unnecessarily hard. Unrealistic expectations. Avoid him at all costs.

Comment:
When asked a question he doesn't seem to wat to explain, and when you ask him for ways to improve your grade all he says is that different things work for different people. I always do better on the retake exams because he explains them an hour or two before the retake so I have a better idea of what's going on.

This class was a real challenge, but if you put in the effort you can pass. He loves his red pen and grades hard, but a 70% on an exam is an A. Go to the SI, she is extremely helpful! Your grade is based off of 5 exams, no graded homework or graded quizzes. Chem 133 is hard no matter who teaches it, so you must study. This class was my favorite.

Dr. Langley is quite the prof. He is the hardest to take in Gen Chem, but i would do it all over again. Tough grader, but offers tons of help. If you want to pass, do the homework, MUST go to office hours! Tests are short, but hard, everything based off HW. This class is a challenge, but you WILL learn. Great class, would take him again!

Comment:
He was not helpful when I asked questions, and is unnecessarily rude with his responses to questions and in his grading on tests. He did not seem like he enjoyed his job and me and everyone else in the class suffered for it. I would not recommend him because he is pompous jerk who seems to have unrealistic expectations for students.

Inspirational, respectful, easy going. Dr. Langley is none of these things. Whenever I or any of the other students would ask a question, he would respond with a sarcastic response that did not answer the question and made me feel less of myself. Any wrong answer on a test did not just get an X, but an insult along with it for some reason.

If you want to pass, you will. At first I didn't like the way he taught ,but I went to his office and he will spend all his free time helping you understand. He was so helpful I switched my advisor to him. Do the homework!

Dr. Langley challenged the hell out of me, but in the end I learned so much from him than I've learned from any other prof. Study study study. He wants serious students. That's how you'll earn his respect. Go to office hours. He is an ass, but deal with it and he'll respect you and help you. I got an A... toughest A I've ever earned. Good luck!

Comment:
Dr. Langley is completely disrespectful to students. Three years ago I told my brother that I was transferring to SFA (He is Alumni) and the first thing he told me "Don't take Dr. Langley". Unfortunately I had to take him for lab and he is a horrible professor. I am an A student, I made A's on every lecture exam and failed lab with Langley. ???

He did not enjoy teaching this course and did not enjoy answering questions. I went to every class and took really good notes but the amount of memorization he requires is staggering. I would prefer not to take him again.

Comment:
Dr. Langley is notorious for having students drop after the first test. I was one of them! He is VERY specific when it comes to his definitions on his tests. You need to do the homework to understand anything in class. Every question you ask is always a stupid question to him. He is an overall ass. If you like the challenge take him with caution!

Comment:
Very tough and time consuming class. He expects you to memorize many things that you need to begin memorizing as soon as you learn them. You cannot put off the homework and you need to do a little bit every day. It is difficult to get help from him because he will just simply write out the problem. Tests are VERY hard and are not multiple choice.

Comment:
Definitely the hardest course I've ever taken in my life! However, Dr. Langley offers A LOT of outside resources to help you. The tests consist of homework problems or problems similar to the homework assigned. He offers retests and gives 20 point curves on ALL his exams. He's a challenge, but I would still recommend him.

Langley can be your best friend or worst enemy. If you don't read the syllabus you will find yourself questioning his teaching. Don't be dumb, lazy, or try to blame him. DO THE HOMEWORK.GO TO SI TO CHECK ANSWERS. MEMORIZE DEFINITIONS WORD FOR WORD AS HE SAYS THEM OR YOU WILL BE WRONG. Pace yourself during tests. Do all the work first then go back and do answers. TRUST ME. Then answer is only two points. And you only have one hour. Go to his office for help. If you do all of that your fine.

I've had him for both 133 and 134, he is a tough professor but if your respectful and show up to class he'll do anything he can to help you succeed in his class. He's super sarcastic and can come off as an ass in class but go to his office hours and ask questions, this will save you in his class. DO THE HOMEWORK
