She's a little all over the place but she has good intentions. Go to SI sessions they help you understand the material so much.

Her personality is enjoyable and she clearly explains the material but her tests are very tricky and many have trouble with them.

She is very ditzy, and is very knowledgeable but she has a tough time explaining concepts...

Professor Luther is a little ditsy but has good intentions. Doesn't always know what she is talking about, and will admit it. Writes her notes on the board, so it is easy to take notes. Very helpful outside of class and gives VERY EASY homework. Class is really not that hard. Study the notes she gives and look at the diagrams and you will do fine.

Tests are very difficult. I would personally to recommend her class.

Her notes are a little all over the place but she is a great teacher. She will help you anytime if you just ask. Is willing to come even not when it is her office hours. Very helpful and nice! Test are hard but not impossible.

Luther is a very helpful professor. Most of these reviewers are right about the class notes not being adequate to excel on the tests. About 15% of test questions are picked up in class, the rest are completely from the book and often unmentioned in class. Read and take notes from the book and you'll do fine.

She is not a good teacher, class seems easy but the tests are very difficult. Don't expect to learn too much.

Subject material is fun. She is definitely passionate about geology. Some friends complain about her, but I found this class very easy. Online smart figures from homework are extremely useful in studying for tests. Occasionally has in class assignments. She offers some extra credit. I never needed to talk with her but she is very willing to help.

I dont know what people are talking about her tests are very easy. I made a 95 in the class with little effort. Watch the videos from the homework when studying for her class. She is a great teacher and wants to help all her students

I never went to class and I received an A. We only had to study for about 20 minutes before each test. She is changing her testing style next year so prepare for harder tests. The homework is all online and really easy. The quizzes are also simple.

Amy Luther knows her stuff! This class was a piece of cake. I could have literally made a 0 on my final and still got an A. As long as you do all of your online homeworkquizzesLeansmarts you will have an easy time. The online Learnsmarts were a pain in the ass but you just have to get through them.

Supper easy!! 4 test and their drawing!! 25% test 25% quiz 25% homework and 25% learnsmart.. just do the online stuff and practice drowning the sketches. easy and would take her class again!

She is a boring lecturer, but my interest in the topic was my motivation for going to class. SUPER easy tests.

EASIEST GEN ED COURSE AT LSU. LECTURES ARE SO BORING. 75% OF YOUR FINAL GRADE IS ONLINE. 4 CONCEPT SKETCH TESTS WORTH 25% OF YOUR FINAL GRADE WHICH ARE AVERAGE DIFFICULTY. THE SI TEST REVIEW GIVES YOU THE ANSWERS SO GO TO THAT. I ATTENDED CLASS 6 TIMES THE WHOLE SEMESTER AND GOT AN A. SKIPPED THE FINAL EXAM WHICH IS THE 4TH TEST AND STILL GOT AN A.

You can go to class or you don't have to. If you miss class it's not a huge deal but sometimes she gives extra credit so you could miss out. Make sure you do the homework, it will help you on the tests!

This is such an easy elective. I literally never went to class, I only went to the SI review sessions before each test. The majority of your grade is online homework, so just do that and you'll do fine.

Class is incredibly easy. Tests are memorizing sketches and drawing them. She adjusts test grades based on the difficulty of the sketch. Going to class is definitely not necessary because all of the quizzes and homework assignments are online. Go to the review sessions and do all the assignments and an A is pretty easy.

I like this class because the participation, homework, and quizzes are all online. It helps to go to class so you know background knowledge for your hw and quizzes, but you can use your book too since they are online. The exams are concept sketches that she draws in class. There is also an exam review session which is helpful.

She uses an online program for homework and quizzes, and so long as you buy the book (NOT through the program, then you can't open it during quizzes/tests), then she is perfectly fine with you using it. The exams are so easy, it's almost criminal. You have to draw sketches that come straight from the book. I only showed up to class for tests.

This class is SO easy I would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy gen ed. I never ever went to class and ended with a 95. All homework is online & straight from the online book. Also, she tells you exactly what is on the tests. (all you do is draw sketches for the tests....)

For the tests you have to do sketches that are a bit of a headache. I'd rather multiple choice tests but the class was fairly easy. You do have to study but it's not impossible to get an A+. Go to the SI sessions if you don't go to class. And make sure you do the homework! It's a huge chunk of your grade.

Dr. Luther is one of the greatest teachers I've ever had. 65% of your grade is online quizzes, homework, and learnsmarts and the other 35% is from the 3 tests you have. As long as you go to class to copy the sketches she gives you, you will definitely get an A. Highly recommend her

You don't have to show up for class just go to the SI sessions before each test and you'll be fine. there was a lot of online homework and quizzes

Class is extremely was extremely easy, perfect for a general ed class, would definitely recommend

Dr. Luther is really easy. Show up to class copy down some sketches and memorize them and an A is easily attainable. Multiple choice on the tests comes from her lectures but it is very basic material. 3 hours of studying the night before the test should get you an A.

Dr. Luther is actually really good- Im a Mass Com major so i didnt want to do anything with Geology. Super super easy. Take her if you like easy homework for easy credit and if you go to class, EASY A. Her class made me want to take the class again.

Her voice annoyed me but I could manage. Her exams are so hard though! You have to memorize about 10 DETAILED sketches for each exam & but only have 2 on your exam. Sketches are where the majority of the pts come from. The multiple choice & short answers are hard. She does some bonus. Lots of connect and LearnSmart homework. I ended up with a B.

She has a strong accent and we do get a lot of assignment but she walk you through it. The quizzes we have to take are only four to 5 questions and she have to take the quizzes post a power-point to review before we take them. There is a lot of work but we do it in groups and its not hard. The class is easy the only challenge is the quizzes.

Amy Luther's grad assistant taught this geology lab and he is amazing! He helps with every problem if you ask and grades things easily. If you show up to every lab and do the pre-lab reading (most of the time isn't long) then you should get an A. There are 5 question quizzes before each lab that moderately difficult.

Not sure why she has so many bad ratings on here, but I have made an A+ on every test so far in this class. (And I really don't study too much for them) The sketches are really not as bad as everyone says. Dr. Luther is the nicest teacher ever, and drops a few grades. 100% recommend taking her class!

She gives you 6-8 concept sketches to memorize for each of the 3 test. She only asks for two on the test, but if you know all of the sketches you will absolutely make an A on the exams. Have to go to class to get the sketches, she doesn't post online.

Super easy class if you show up everyday and take good notes. I never skipped a class and took decent notes and study a little and the exams are a breeze. She really emphasizes the diagrams of geologic events on exams, so make sure you understand them. All semester, we had 2 homeworks and 2 presentations. Low stress class!

Dr. Luther is a great professor! I had her for SCI 1001, and the class was very easy overall. She did a great job of highlighting due dates and important information about the group project. I had her for SCI 1001 which was not an option to add. I would definitely take this class again!

Dr. Luther is a solid choice. She is very fun and kind. She is able to answer lots of questions and instructs well.

I was in the lab on Wednesdays w the TA Matthew Danielson. We do a quiz based on the previous lecture which is easy if you make a quizlet. You have to buy a lab manual. You also can't miss one lab or ur screwed. The final was kinda hard and you have to id rocks. Helped a lot in my normal GEOL 1001 class, though. Labs were participation

Never once met Professor Luther, so I think the class heavily depends on what TA you get; I had Danielson and he was fantastic. Danielson helped us each week with the labs and the weekly quizzes came straight from the powerpoint he did from the previous week. Tests were a bit loaded, and rock identification was tested on, but everything was doable.

She was really passionate about geology and it showed in the lectures. Definitely would take again.

The people complaining most likely didn't put in any effort. This is just like any other lecture class. She posts her powerpoints online but you will get more notes by showing up to class. Went to half her lectures and still got a 100 on almost every exam because I put in the bare minimum of effort. She allows notecards for her exams.

Professor Luther is definitely very interested in what she is teaching, and cares about her students passing the class. She does her best with thoroughly explaining what will be presented on exams, and will curve the exams if need be. She does have a weekly homework assignment but it is very simple and a grade booster. I would recommend.

I honestly have never met her. My TA is Kwabena Poku-Agyemang. He is fantastic and you really cant say that about many TAs. He speaks clearly, and he is very helpful. So hopefully you get a good TA but if you have Kwabena Poku-Agyemang as your TA, you're good. Exams aren't hard if you prepare. DO YOUR READING!!!

Amy Luther doesn't teach this class, instead, it's one of her TAs. My TA was Sarah Seale, and she was amazing. Your grade consists of 10 labs, 10 quizzes,1 midterm, and 1 final. Not a hard class but maybe it was because I had a good TA.

I've had a great experience with Dr Luther. She's very sweet, helpful and was understanding when I messed up on one of my assignments. Her lectures are great but you have to show up to class for the notes as they're not on the powerpoint slides on Moodle. Favorite class of this semester.

Dr. Luther is a kind professor with a clear passion for geology. Her casual, laid-back nature makes lectures enjoyable and interactive. The main advice I will give you is to start early on the final project, as it is incredibly time-consuming if you do not pace yourself. She also allows a double-sided 3x5 notecard on tests. Great professor.

Amy Luther isn't actually teaching, it's a TA. The TA I had for my lab was amazing.

We did not have Amy Luther, our TA was Giancarlo. He is an amazing TA who is a great guide for this class. He has set deadlines that never change, and you know all of the work you have to do for the whole semester on day 1. He is very helpful in answering questions, has a great personality, and makes and is very clear about what will be on exams!

I had Giancarlo as the TA. He was super helpful and graded lightly. The topics were well explained and easy to understand. He was also easily approachable if you needed help. I would recommend 1601 if you're looking for a lab to take.

Depends on TA but I got Giancarlo and he was a great TA. 10 labs with 10 quizzes and midterm/final. Gave study guide for midterm and final. Just attend and study for around 30 minutes to get a great grade.

Amy Luther's lecture classes are phenomenal. I love the way she teaches and it made me genuinely interested in learning science again.

Professor Luther was a great professor! Super thorough and will answer any question you have. She makes review sheets for the exams which tells you exactly what to study, extremely useful. She allowed a notecard for our exams. She always reviews the daily quizzes to make sure we understand. She's great!
