Professor Luther offers a dynamic approach to math. His lecture notes are fun to read and easy to follow, his actual lectures are straightforward, and he is always willing to offer help however you need it. Professor Luther is also very informal with his students; it's a refreshing change of pace! I would absolutely take him again :)

Professor Luther is fantastic. He is witty and cares for his students. He is also a great teacher and is very flexible. He gives a lot of extra credit and multiple rounds on the exams. The way the class is set up allows for a lot of practice to really nail down the concepts. Great class and great professor.

I took the accelerated, 7-week, hybrid version of this class and would definitely recommend taking it accelerated. Even though all the lectures were online, they were very clear and helped you learn the material. Professor Luther is hilarious and a great professor.

Amazing math professor. Although returning tests by nailing them to the door seems a bit unnecessary.

A fantastic instructor and wholesome human being. He's a genuinely nice person and will make sure everyone understand the material before continuing. Bonus: he brought us cookies and candy on exam days.

Comment:
I had Math 260 with Professor Luther as a Freshman. The course I was in was accelerated so it ended after 7 weeks and I honestly was sad it was done so early. He's very easy to understand and is always willing to go out of his way to help his students. He's personable and makes difficult concept east to understand. Would definitely recommend!!

I am terrible at math - took calc 3 with Prof. Luther and received a 100% in the class. I have never before understood math so clearly or have been able to perform it so well. Would definitely recommend!

Dr. Luther is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. He gives great lectures and is always willing to take time outside of class to work with you. Overall, he is just a great guy and you definitely earn the grade you receive.

He started teaching the class halfway through the semester, as the previous professor took a leave of absence for personal reasons. Professor Luther was an all around great teacher. I dislike the subject, but he made the class fun and relatively easy.

Great guy, well-prepared for every lecture. He has a powerpoint that he uses for in-class notes, he provides notes online (different from PP), sits on a stool, smiles a lot, really loves his job.

Not only is he an amazing looking fellow with long locks of dark hair, but he dj's at a metal rock station and is the kind of professor that will make you re-ignite your passion and love for math. He was wonderful and had great notes that were also accessible through CourseVU.

Awesome math professor. Really knows his stuff and is great at communicating it in the classroom so that we could understand. Tests are a bit tricky, but if you know your stuff you'll be fine. Made me glad I had chosen to be a math minor.

Was very informative, cares about students, easy to talk to. Humorous and knowledgeable. Provides lots and lots of examples in class. If one does what he assigns (this includes that practice problems NOT assigned) an "A" will happen.

He was the best math teacher I ever had. I did better in his calc 3 class than I did in calc 1 and 2 which I took with other prof's. If he offers a class....Take it!

Not the easiest teacher but definately one of the best lecture givers I've ever had. He is also very understanding concerning being late to class or late with work. Catching up is not a problem because he is so clear when lecturing. Register early!
