Science is not my best ad I have a B. I made D's on all of the test with the curve and still did good in the class. Lots of participation quizzes, 4 test, and some extra credit for doing things outside of class! He is an amazing teacher and you will enjoy the class even if you hate science. Very funny and relatable. Usually moves test back.

The first day he asked us what gravity is, like really what gravity is, not what it does. He asked us this because we so often know things without really actually knowing them .He is VERY passionate,funny, kind and easily approachable. Bob is an amazing teacher, only guy who has ever made me laugh when discussing copepods and chemosynthesis

He is super flexible on his office hours, but he does not like when people walk in late and he gives 12 random pop quizzes throughout the semester. Class was one of the best I have taken at TCC.

Don't ever pull out your cell phone during his lecture, that's his one pet peeve and he will let you know! I never thought I would learn as much as I have in his class.

Great, genuine guy. There are 4 pretty simple tests (3 + final) and 4 short, 300/400 word assignments. His study guides are very broad but they do prepare you for the test. I needed the textbook to complete them. Fairly easy class. The only downside is that he assigns the homework assignments with only a day or two to complete them.

The weekly work is very easy. Tests are WAY harder than they should be for a 1000 level class. Study guides suck and don't really help. The chapters in the book are way too long and too much content. The tests are harder than they should be for earth space science. As long as you keep up with the work you should get above a C though

Bob Lutz is a great professor. I genuinely enjoyed coming to his lab. He was funny and easygoing. He lectured for about 10 minutes before letting us get started on the lab. All the work was incredibly easy - if you need a lab take this class. Bob also loves Derd!

Professor Bob is amazing! Very sweet and his class was easy. 1 discussion and 1 MyLab a week. He has a total of 3 exams which will be easy if you study. My only issue is that he's not the best with email or Canvas communication and he uses Honorlock for his exams. He also struggled with Canvas a little bit but it wasn't a huge deal!

Bob's lab is super easy, the labs are simple enough and are easy to get a decent grade. He takes away the lowest grade and you're only graded on labs and the final. The final is a bit harder but nothing to bad. My only complaint is that he is a bit hard to reach outside of class, but beyond that he's great. FSU Pathways students would recommend.

Professor Lutz is awesome! His lectures are interesting and easy to follow. Attendance is not mandatory but he does do easy 10 point quizzes most days that help to get your grade up with easy points, so try and go to class. He gives lots of opportunities for make ups and really wants to see you succeed.

This class is so easy to complete if you are looking for another elective. You only have 1 multiple choice assignment and discussion due each week and the answers are easily found. There are 3 tests including the final, no honor lock. I never had any problems requiring me to reach out but if I needed to he seemed like such a sweet Professor.

Professor Lutz was a great lab teacher. Every assignment is a lab (group lab work). There is one final and it's the easiest final if you study the study guide he gives you. Take bob he is very sweet and wants the best grade for you!

Professor Bob is one of the nicest and most caring professors I have ever had. Very easy assignments each week (Discussion board, homework and quiz) and 3 exams, no final. The exams are honorlocked but are right from the quizzes! Study up and do your work and you'll do just fine. I finished with over 100.

Professor Lutz was amazing and cared about all of his students. The final was the hardest part, the labs are easy and he lets you work in groups and will provide assistance if needed. He always made labs fun and made the best jokes. I recommend him as a professor 100% and would take him again if I could.

I had Professor Bob for two semesters in a row and he is the kind of teacher you never forget. I don't really even enjoy science but he makes it fun to learn about. You can tell he is passionate about what he teaches and that he genuinely cares for his students. He is such a great guy and I highly recommend taking a class with him!

Professor Bob was great! He engaged in labs, answered any questions, and wanted everyone to succeed. Show up, participate in labs, and study for the final (he gives you everything you need to know for it), and you will make an A. The lowest lab grade dropped! There is no homework outside of class. One of my favorite professors at TCC!

Professor Lutz was an amazing professor. He was very engaging and interactive in his classes. He gives some pop quizzes, but they are easy if you attend class. He also bumped my grade up so it was a B.

Very easy class, very sweet professor. Used McGraw Hill for assignments, quizzes and finals. One discussion board and two chapters (five assignments) total due each week. A few interactive assignments but are interesting and unique. No midterm, Final exam was open note and easy to complete. A fun class with a kind professor.

I loved taking Professor Lutz's class, and I wish I took his class in person. One time, I forgot to submit all the assignments on Sunday that week, I was devastated and I emailed him. He answered very quickly and kindly opened the assignments back up for me as he could tell I was distraught about forgetting! Mcgraw hill assignments take forever tho

Great professor—he's very passionate about his organisms, especially the copepod. His tests are heavy but very straightforward if you keep up with the material. He's super funny and makes class genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommend taking this class.

Professor Bob was awesome! He is super kind and passionate about what he teaches. He does take a little bit to respond to emails at times, but I never had an issue with it. McGraw Hill assignments are awful though, so beware of the 70 concept smartbooks. He drops your lowest score in each category of work at the end of the semester too!!
