A lot of online portal learning mixed with textbook reading. The professor was awesome and responsive and made best efforts to help with a difficult topic (geosphere). The online portal was a little tough though. Often times it was critical thinking and would only give 4 or 5 questions so if you get one wrong your skunkedESC1100 2017-09-06 14:09:47 +0000 UTC
Like many students, I was nervous taking a science class. We covered a lot of Geology and Meteorology to understand Natural Disasters. Prof. Clough walked us right through it with analogies that made difficult concepts easer to understand. The assignment questions did require some thought but his feedback was very useful. Eye-opening!ESC2015 2016-07-13 17:21:44 +0000 UTC
He largely ignored class, forgot to grade assignments and gives unfair grades.EAS201 2016-06-07 06:35:37 +0000 UTC
Langdon Clough is a great professor. I had him for an online class on Natural Disasters. I had a difficult time with the subject matter but he was willing to help me, and I ended up doing much better in the class. I would highly recommend. Its rare to find a teacher of an online class willing to connect with and help a struggling student.ESC01 2011-08-30 15:05:47 +0000 UTC
I took Observational Astronomy ESC123 with Mr. Clough. This course was absolutely fascinating; probably one of the best classes I ever had. The universe is 13.7 billion years old and contains billions of galaxies each with billions of stars. This course gives you a perspective on your place in the cosmos. Langdon is an expert and great instructor.ESC123 2010-08-29 08:39:07 +0000 UTC
By the end of my class, it became my favorite subject. I highly recommend him for his enthusiasm and helpfulness. He has a very laid back manner but he knows his stuff inside and out. Youi'll love him.ESC4104 2008-08-12 15:03:40 +0000 UTC
Probably gave me the fastest responses to my emails than any prof at NU I've hadESC4410 2007-10-23 17:13:56 +0000 UTC
he has such a weird way of teaching. funny, but always lost.... you think you will get a good grade in his class, but you'll never know until you get your final grade..LDR4285ETHICAL 2006-06-14 10:12:52 +0000 UTC
I took a compressed Meteorology course with Professor Clough (6 weeks!) That's a lot of material for a non-science major but his notes, choice of textbook, a assignments made it all clear. He was quick to respond to my questions and very helpful. I actually understand weather and like it! Take his class!ESC2015 2013-12-10 19:41:55 +0000 UTC
This course really opened my eyes to new ways of seeing the world. The biggest take-away was that I was afraid of science....now I know that I can understand it and that the things we worry most about, we shouldn't. A lot of work but he's very helpful. Take his course is you need a science elective!ESC2015 2011-07-13 17:16:18 +0000 UTC
