Reviews of professor William Luther

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Incredibly rich and well delivered lectures. This professor is one of the reasons you take econ at FAU - an actual SME. What you'll learn in a single course will serve you for life, not even kidding. Study the lectures, read the notes, and you'll do well. It's not an easy course by any means but it's very much worth the effort.

Class is graded on 4 exams and one final, all worth 20% of your grade. He lectures off PowerPoints, but lectures are boring and don't cover nearly the amount of material that is on the exams. If you actually want to learn anything, read the book. It's pretty clear that he doesn't care about teaching and is only at this school to do research.

This professor accepts late quizzes & tests (without penalty) until the end of the semester. This allowed me to focus my efforts into other classes, but as someone who does better with consistent strict deadlines, this was a curse for me. I had to cram study towards the end but I still managed to pass, so I say this class is very doable.

Professor Luther is amazing. During his lectures, he uses real-life examples and makes the lecture very fun. Also if you like finance his lectures teach you real-life finance and personal finance. Disregard any other comments and believe me when I say that he is a very good professor. He cares about his students.

Professor Luther is one of the best professors. He is very insightful and gives his lectures very professionally. He is concise with his explanations but relevant to the topic he is teaching. He gives study guides for all the exams that are very similar to the actual exam, and the weekly quizzes he gives are pulled directly from his Powerpoints.

He's a master of his craft and truly wants his students to absorb not only the material covered in class but also his passion. One of my favorite professors at FAU.

Professor Luther was awesome!! I thoroughly enjoyed his class. Watching the lectures basically means your whole grade, but he explains things clearly and in an interesting way so I didn't mind. There's also a required textbook but most of the semester was provided readings and lectures. If you just pay attention and take notes, the A is yours.

Great professor, very precise in his lectures. Willing to answer any question you have in/out of class, but often he misunderstood my questions even after repeating it so I'd just give up. Down to earth.

This is a hard class but the professor cares a lot about the students and the information he teaches. One of the most intelligent professors you can learn from. If you apply yourself you can gain a lot out of this class.
