DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Dr Lange is a terrible professor. He does not help his students at all. Doesn't respond to emails either. Avoid at all costs

David Lange for CIS 150 is one of the best professors I've had at GV. His class is very simple but you will have to put the time into it. The only down part about this professor is that he is bad at answering emails. If you are trying to get his attention, stay after class to talk to him or set up an appointment with him. Overall, GREAT PROFESSOR!!

Hands down one of the most frustrating classes I've ever taken. He NEVER answers emails, doesn't explain our homework, and his lectures are long and confusing. The content of the class is fairly easy, but Professor Lange's teaching technique makes it 10 x harder. Do not take this class, you will regret it. He is a nice person, not a good professor.

This is the poorest excuse for a capstone class ever. What kind of prof never replies to his school email, but then emails his students 2 minutes after class starts that it's cancelled? And constantly leaves his students wondering what the plan is for the next class session by waiting for an email an hour or less before class for the details? Wow.

He is one of the funniest prof's I have had at GVSU which makes class ten times more enjoyable to go to. He's also pretty understanding about late work and extends deadlines when he feels needed. He responds back to emails pretty quickly and makes the lectures fun when the content seems boring.

I dropped his online class early on because of a mix of disorganization and demand due to it being a condensed summer course. He missed his own lecture. He wasn't responsive to emails. He expected us to be ready for impromptu mandatory zoom lectures. His announcements were overly complicated and messy. Good person just not a good online prof.

Super useful class. Lange taught valuable skills and really made an effort to help us get internships. However, he is very hard to get ahold of outside class and he could be a little disorganized. But his lectures are interesting and he's an engaging, funny guy (though he does sometimes go off on tangents). Overall, a fun, easy, and helpful class.

Literally you only need to go to lab. I never went to lecture and got an A. Everything (I mean everything) is online on MyITLab so if you do the online homework you will be totally fine in the class. He will also curve EVERY exam and will give you the answers if you ask for help. 10/10. Other profs make you present your websites but he doesn't.

Out of all the CIS professors, David K. Lange brings the most energy to the class and has many hilarious stories to share. Should get an A- or better if you participate.

CIS 150 in general isn't necessarily hard, just lots of tedious work and reading. Grader homework is hard DON'T MISS ANY OF THE QUIZZES, HELP DESKS, HOMEWORKS, ETC. S T U D Y the book, then you really won't have to hear his lectures DON'T MISS LABS Lange gives lots of EC if you attend class Lange also helps you during exams!

Very very hard to get a hold of. If you ever have to make something up, good luck finding a time to meet with him. Nice guy, but not really too involved

You could really pass the class if you only showed up for exam days... Everything is online. Nice guy, easy to talk to, sometimes his voice is annoying, but would be worse. Wants everyone to do well, and is willing to work with you.

Prof. Lange is super laid back. Gives you study guides for midterm and final. Very easy class although the online homework is time consuming but that is the same for every CIS 150 class. Very funny, and always willing to help! You do a webpage but he walked us tough it. Final was very easy too! Would definitely take another one of his classes.

Great teacher who was funny and made class entertaining. Class was pretty easy but there is a lot of homework, but I believe every CIS class has to do it.

Professor Lange is the most entertaining professor i have ever had. Always saying the hilarouis things in class . Not a difficult class if you keep up with the online sam projects. Lectures are pointless to go to besides the lab.

Professor Lange has honestly made my experience at Grand Valley so amazing! I love him as a professor, and he understood how busy I was throughout the year when I missed at like 5 assignments that he would open back up for me. Lecture isn't necessary since there is a powerpoint/book, but he makes a lot of connections to the assignments there. HW!!!

Very helpful. The class was simple as long as you can follow step-by-step instructions. One day is in the lab and classroom, one day is just in the classroom. I skipped the classroom part a lot, it was very basic C.S. stuff. Tests are tough and online m. choice and matching. I didn't study much, did all my homework, and got an A-. He's a great guy

A very approachable and personable professor. While he may go off track on occasion in lectures, he is always interesting to listen to. Course load is manageable if the proper time and effort is put forth.
