Reviews of professor Luke Mueller

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Honestly a really great guy who wants you to succeed. Office hours are super helpful. 3 major papers but you usually get to pick your own topic. HW gets heavy sometimes and readings can be long. Sets high expectations but I became a better writer from his class. Course has interesting material. Participation isnt mandatory but he likes to see it.

He grades toughly, has high expectations, and assigns a lot of work. If you're willing to put in the effort, you'll learn a lot and improve your writing skills. He's engaging but sometimes doesn't like if no one's participating.

Mueller is a professor who believes students should uphold the learning experience above the letter grade. While this is true, it means you will have to do your best to receive great grades on all of your journals, always ask clarifying questions about the essay assignments, and make sure you participate whenever possible.

Prof Mueller is definitely one of the better English profs I have had. Not a free A on every paper, but grading is very fair, feedback is specific and helpful, and most importantly he teaches writing well. Great prof! 4.0 is very attainable if you put the effort into your papers and visit office hours for feedback or clarity. Is also a nice guy!

Professor Muller truly cares about his students and will always take the time to give them the support that they need. He is truly passionate about teaching, which made this class enjoyable.

Nice guy but can be passive-aggressive at some times. He plays favorites which are decided by participation in class. Can be strict at times but understanding and have no problem giving extensions or if you are sick.

Awesome professor - especially for freshmen. So helpful and really gives you a foundation for writing in college. He can be a tough grader but he will always give you feedback and opportunities to improve. Classes are super engaging and make time fly by.

Luke seems like a nice person, but as a professor, he is not the best. Class discussion is interesting, but the rubric and expectations are unclear for assignments. He will say one thing during office hours and then take off points for it later. I would recommend taking him if you share his philosophy that grades "don't matter."

Nice professor who cares about his students. Always provides feedback for your work. Only had to write one short paper, majority of assignments are presentations (including the final). You don't have to read the outside reading for homework but be prepared to be cold-called if no one participates. The in-class work is very easy for an intro course.
