Reviews of professor Luke Cherveny

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Taking him again after calculus 1 first semester. Great professor and makes sure the material is understood.

Professor Cherveny is the man. If you have taken Calc before taking his class it is the easiest 4.0 you will get. Tests are straight forward and HW is not bad at all. His lectures are really informative and he likes to crack awkward math jokes. Great dude, highly recommend.

Professor Cherveny is smart guy but cannot teach, uses superficial datasets and won't prepare you for real world analytics. Gets lost in the explanation and not confident in his own course materials.

Professor Cherveny's lectures are always clear and he keeps it fairly interesting. You can tell he cares. Exams are standard. You'll do well if you study the main types of problems. You need to work cause he's not the easiest calc prof but he's not the hardest from what I hear. Will take him again for MA139. Great professor!

I felt like sometimes the examples he showed in class were way simpler than the ones on the exams, which made things tricky. WebAssign and written homework is a big portion of the grade though, so your grade is not only dependent on the exam grades. He really uses the full eighty minutes (sometimes even a few minutes more) but does good practice.

Really wants to make sure you understand the material and cares about his classes. The HW can be hard but if you pay attention in class and take notes its not anything undoable. The tests are not terrible and he gives you a study guide. You have to work for a grade in this class but he works with you so no reason you should get below a 3.0.

Luke is a really smart guy but his lectures are hard to follow. He starts explaining a problem then goes on a tangent about something else. I personally wouldn't take him again but he does care and wants his students to do well and understand the concepts. Overall not a good teacher but nice and really smart.

Great professor for calc 1. Taking him again for 139. There's extra credit on exams and web assign.

Nice guy, but he expects you to have a clear understanding of the topic even if its his first day teaching. Tests are extremely more difficult than homework problems. Easy to lose your footing in his class, and he makes you work for everything in his class. Do not take him if you haven't taken calc before.

Luke is a great prof if you have a very good knowledge of stats. Like lectures are hard and HW sets even harder. You will have to put in a lot of effort outside class. He has very clear grading criteria, quizzes every week and problem sets every other week. As a finance major, this class was beyond my scope and very difficult.
