Langston constantly makes an extra effort so that students have a clear and thorough understanding of the material. He sets up mini-experiments, finds web sources of animations on physiology to watch and plans quiz show–like set ups for exam practice. He communicates well and offers students as much help as they need. Langston is constantly an impressive, approachable and engaging instructor.
