Reviews of professor Lucas Rentschler

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is an amazing teacher. You can tell that he knows the material super well but his lectures can be a little dry sometimes. The textbook is heavily used and you'll need to go to class to do well but he is a fair grader and is willing to help students out. He isn't a pushover but you can get a good grade if you work to earn it.

Class can be pretty boring, and it felt like we raced through material too fast. If you meet with him outside class he will help a lot. He expects you to know more than is reasonable coming into the class.

Very good professor! Explains all topics fully and answers all questions very well. There are three tests that aren't too hard if you attend class and do the test review. Does a lot of examples and makes sure everyone understands.

This class was very difficult but worth it. Lucas is incredibly intelligent, but sometimes speaks above the students' level. Three tests make up 70% of the final grade. The test questions come from homework and practice questions, but I still found myself studying for hours. I learned a lot from this class and loved it.

Lucas is a very intelligent professor that sometimes teaches above his students' level of understanding. He gives lots of opportunities for extra credit (potentially up to 15 pts but receiving half that would be the norm.) His test question bank comes from the optional quizzes and hw.

Lucas is awesome. The course material is pretty difficult, but he is very knowledgeable and willing to help. If you're looking at advancing into intense economics math, Lucas is great.

he is very nice and caring, but lectures are SOO boring. Class is weighted mainly on 3 exams. I didn't do well in this class because I skipped more than I went. the only reason i passed was because of the practices quizzes - DO THEM BEFORE EXAMS. If you want to do more than just pass, you must go to class and attend office hours regularly.

Lucas is awesome and cultivated really interesting discussions in class. I wish more classes were about interesting discussions like this one and less busy work.

Prof Rentschler is the kind of guy that's so intelligent, it can be an impediment to the class's learning. I thought that he covered the material well and that the tests were fair, though the final had a class average of 51%. He's generous with a final curve, he's ALWAYS accessible if you ask him to make time for you. Great guy, pretty good teacher
