Reviews of professor Lucas Baumgartner

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Hes very rude. He makes you feel like youre stupid by asking him questions. He says he does not like to repeat himself so you better listen. Hes not helpful AT ALL!! Worst teacher to have if youre expecting to graduate. His grading is ridiculous, makes no sense. AVOID if you can.

Lucas does not require you to attend, but YOU BETTER! He uses nearpod as attendance. The book is not required but can be helpful. He gives quizzes before the exam, and you can take them multiple times till you get a 100 and use them to study because the questions are directly transferred to the exam. Attendance is important if you want to pass.

The most subjective grading I have ever experienced. Grading has been proved to be very inconsistent by me and my classmates. What would could be considered to be "right" would be wrong on the next person's assignment, even if they have the same answer/result. HIs criteria of grading changes from day to day, sometimes even from page to page. Avoid!

His classes are extremely difficult. The PowerPoints doesn't have that many words, so you have to pay attention to everything he's saying and go back and watch the recorded lectures to even think about doing good on an exam. All of the quizzes are in the textbook

Lucas is very knowledgeable in the topics he teaches. However, he doesn't seem like he cares too much about teaching the actual content. He's very monotone and seems like he doesn't want to be there. The PowerPoints he uses have more graphs than words, so you'll have to do your own learning through the textbook outside of class.

Luke is a vey knowledgable and legit professor for this course. He used examples with students to make it more interesting. Sometimes he would still be on topic but was not talking about the power point on the screen.

Just a guy that reminds you that professors/teachers really dont give a damn about you and helping you be successful outside of they classroom and rules etc. If you have an option, take someone else. Youd be happy you did so
