Spring 2023 - Professor Langdon is a treasure in the history department and at UCLA as a whole. He is an extremely interesting and engaging lecturer who brings life and animation to the (sometimes hefty and dense) subject material and truly makes it very interesting. He is also very understanding and welcomes students to come chat with him after class about the subject and about any other matters. He truly cares so much and puts so much thought and effort into his course readers and lecture material so that you are as prepared as possible for the exams. The exams are very straightforward, but you do definitely have to study for them. However, if you do the readings and listen to the lectures (which are broadcast on zoom and recorded on top of being live), you will be totally prepared. Doc is awesome and super funny and I highly recommend taking any of his classes.
