After taking the three classes I took with him, I feel like my writing has improved dramatically.

He is an awesome teacher. If you need help he gives it and he is big into the quality of what you have to say, not the thesis/premis crap. I wrote all my papers the night before and got A's on everything- he is not a hard grader at all!

He is a very good teacher but if your English is your second language, mostlikely you will not get A . I dont recommend this professor. Especially if you are taking fast track ( this note is for people who's english is thier second language ) If not I think he is a great teacher .

This guy knows his stuff, and if your work product isn't up to snuff he'll let you know, but he'll work with you if you put forth a genuine effort. Sign up for his coordinated studies course if it's listed.

I had Ed for the learning community class and loved the way he taught! He was very knowledgable about the subject (movies) and tied it in nicely with writing and our experiences in life. If you had a question, he was always willing to help out in any way possible. I highly recommend taking Luter for Learning Community classes.

I ended up taking three english classes with him. He makes the class fun, but a lot of it is speaking in front of the class. But you get to know the people in class and after a few weeks it isn't intimidating any more. No tests, just writing assignments.

Great fast track class. Had a lot of fun. Learned a lot as well. Wasn't always easy I spent a good amount of time writing and re-writing my papers. I got an A, but expect to put some work in for one. Excellent teacher thought he was pretty amusing.

I think he mostly grades everyone based on their own progress. I read papers from a fellow classmate towards the end of the sem., and I found flaw after flaw. Every aspect was horrible. He got a b, for the class. I wrote like that in 2nd grade, and Luter gave me a b, as well. I had fun, regardless. Luter is a great guy. Buy that man a beer.

Note: Luter will bust you if you don't read the required chapters. So make sure you read them. He is entertaining and when he is paired up with another instructor, Carole Lester, he's great! I learned a great deal in his class. Do the assignments, that is why you are in school in the first place, and you will do fine.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this guy. He is amazing and knows what he is talking about. Show up to call everyday and be on time. He gives extra credit quizzes at the beg. of class. I took him in Fast Track for 3 diff english classes. He is wonderful and he teel salot about his personal life, kids, and sports so you get a connection with him.

I love this teacher. Mr. Luter is the best teacher out there. I took him for 3 English classes and I had a wonderful time in them all. He really knows what he is talking about and makes his class interesting. I would suggest everyone to take him. There is some studying involve but it's not that bad. I feel that my writing skills has improved.

he's cool....but kinna pain in the but-t about grades

One of the best teachers I have had in my life.

Luter is absolutely FABULOUS! You want to take his class! I've taken two of his classes and am about to take a third. Your writing skills will improve a great deal and you will just fall in love with both him and the class. You will look forward to going to class.

If you think you even might be able to handle English 1302 in four weeks, do it. This fast paced course will get you through 1302 fast; you'll be glad you did. Ed Luter is fun and entertaining with lots of group work. Great!

Awesome!!!

GREAT professor. Learned SO much in a fast paced 4 weeks. definitely take this professor. you will learn SO much but it's a lot of work. he makes you want to come to class though, and at the end, you'll be glad you did. Great professor, learned a lot about writing.

Great teacher. Wished i had taken him the first few times I took English classes. The ones that say he is hard are probably the ones that skipped class. Its an express class!! You cant miss any classes DUH. I hated english classes, but he made it soo easy. I recomend this class to everybody who has had a hard time with English classes.

Great teacher. This class is an easy A if you show up every day, turn in your work on time, put time into your work, and proofread your papers. Basically, you have to show you care about the class, and you will get a good grade. There are a lot of opportunities for extra credit with group work as well.

Very good teacher. He made the class fun, and made me enjoy writing.

Luter is great, and you'll learn a lot. I took Eng 1301, 1302, and Amer Lit and enjoyed 1301 and Lit the most. You'll do a lot of writing, but can make a good grade if you put time and effort (proofreading!) into your papers, and keep up with the assignments. Do the reading, show up to class, turn in the work. Helps if English is your first lang.

I took his Amer. Lit fast track. Naturally there was tons of reading, "A. Lit fast track" fine, but also he constantly had the class "put on shows". Everyday we had to get in front of the class and perform, usually on the spot. It appeared to me he does this to "ease" his own work load. If you did not like Speech class, you wont like this one.

He was my first college teacher, and still my favorite. His class is interesting & fun, but don't try to BS him. It won't work. Highly recommended.

He is a very nice guy, who genuinely has a passion for English. BUT-in hindsight I wouldn't have taken his class. He seriously did not know what he was doing. Class was disorganized and lacked a syllabus to know exactly when things were due. Oh and he requires you to do service learning, which takes a lot of time. He's a good prof. and I did learn.

Professor Luter was by far the best English teacher I have ever had. He dedicates so much time to helping his students in the english corner. I never enjoyed writing prior to taking his class, and was not very good at it. Now, writing comes easy. He drops your 3 lowest grades; the only way to fail the class is if you don't do assignments. Take him!

Professor Luter is quite simply, amazing. Not only did he work incredibly hard to teach this course, he was honest as well. Professor Luter grades papers with honesty and fairness. If you LISTEN, ATTEND CLASS, and GIVE EFFORT...you will succeed not only in this class but in writing in general. Take his class and don't look back. You will be amazed.

Fun and great teacher!

Professor Luter is a great teacher and a great man. He WANTS you to succeed and will try to make it as easy for you as possible! Do the assignments like he asks and show up to class on time and he'll like you for it and try to give you better grades. Awesome teacher.

Professor Luter was the best professor I have ever had! Going into this semester I wish all of my professors were like him. He is very helpful and you will get an A guaranteed as long as you do the work and give it effort.

I took two class with Ed back in the 80's. I STILL talk about how awesome his classes were. We dove into literature, wrote essays and had round table discussions. College IS hard work- deal with it. Ed Luter is a great professor! He made a positive impact on me... I love literature and love to write!

I do not understand why people are hating on Professor Luter. If you show up to class, finish your reading assignments and follow the different essay structures, you will get a good grade. Anybody that wants an, "Easy A," will not get one unless he is a Henry James.

Professor Ed loves what he does. He honestly has been one of the best professors I have had. He really wants his students to understand what they are reading, and for them to be exceptional writers. I find it a blessing that I took his class. There is a lot of writing and reading but it is worth it, you will learn! THANK YOU PROFESSOR!!! <3

Yes, this class is a hard A. However, if it were an easy A, I would consider him a horrible professor. The point of college is NOT to BS your way through and then just expect an A. It requires WORK! He is a GREAT professor!

I love his class! Mr. Luter is such amazing teacher and he'll work with you if you work with him. Show up in class and do what you need to do. As long as you do this, he'll do everything in his power to help you out. Definitely not an easy class, but he makes it fun and interesting. TAKE HIM!(:

I learned a lot from this class. I worked hard, and earned an A. I would definitely recommend taking him if you want to improve as a writer. He's very helpful, and crystal clear on what he wants. I highly recommend taking his courses.

He taught me a lot. The reason lots of people don't like him is because you do have to work hard. If you are already a somewhat good writer then you shouldn't have a problem. The only really annoying thing was this PLP assignment which took waay too long and really didn't help anyone. His final is just an essay about what you've learned.

His class itself is not hard, but the course in general is. American Lit is very boring, but he tries his best to keep it interesting in a discussion-type course rather than a lecture. He is a very nice guy and very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject. He is not really clear on his assignments/test, so be cautious about those.

Best English professor I've had. Very knowledgeable and is quick to help if you need it. Awesome lectures and engages with students. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend.

I didn't get a lot of feedback on my writing, however I do realize he has a lot of papers to grade. He gave extra points and many grades based on effort and completion. Attendance isn't required unless you miss more than six classes (for TTh or MW classes). Overall, he was an entertaining (lectures) and helpful (tutoring) professor.

He was such a great teacher, there was a lot of homework but it was all worth it in the end.

I've earned "A" in professor Luter's class. He is an amazing instructor!! Loved his lectures, clear on instructions, I could ask questions as many times as I wanted. He will sit down with you at English corner, reply emails, and make you understand until you get it. You just have to show up in class, LISTEN to his instructions carefully.

Professor Luter is the MAN!!!!! Sure he has a bunch of corny dad jokes that will make you laugh once in a while, but you WILL LEARN in his class. If you show up and listen, you're guaranteed almost guaranteed to pass. As of today my grade in his class a 107 because of all the extra credit he provides. Will definitely be taking him for 1302!!

Best professor I have had yet. I have been out of school for 10 years but Professor Luter helped make my transition to CC much more smooth than expected. I agree with the dad jokes haha but his lectures will keep you coming to class everyday. He gives everyone multiple chances to pass, so if you fail, it's definitely on you.

Awesome prof! So many other English teachers seem concerned merely with checking off obligations that I normally equate English class with arbitrary tasks and standards Ill never see outside of school. But not only does Ed focus on skills well actually need in the real world, he accommodates our incoming skill levels. Gold standard of fairness!

I took Mr. Luter's class a year ago. I found his teaching to be extremely helpful, and a course that I will always remember as a favorite. My only complaint was the inclusion of multiple group activities (an assignment that always feels out of my control). All in all, a great choice. I only wish that he taught beyond ENGL1301...

This class is no walk in the park. I have nothing but the utmost respect for professor Luter. This was an accelerated course so there was homework every other day. I took his 1301 course and also his 1302 class and to this day he is still my favorite professor. Unfortunately, I am done with English classes so I can't take any more of his classes.

Prof. Luter is a very good teacher, however, he can be a bit critical if you are a conservative. his views are far left. if you are a conservative I would suggest you keep your views to your self to not risk any influence on your grades. just a precaution. I think he just does it because most of the student are minorities.

By FAR my most favorite professor at Richland. I applied what I learned from Professor Luter's course, and used it on my essay portion of my transfer application. I got into EVERY school I applied to!!! The class is not easy but he helps those who try... Just show up to class and work hard and he will help you out.. Thanks Professor Luter!!!

Professor Luter is amazing. he give great feedback, makes the class and discussions truly fun and interesting

Ed Luter is an amazing professor. The textbook is more of a regular book that is short and concise. He will talk to you outside of class if you need help. Make sure to show up and do your part in groups though, because he will know. Overall, a great prof.

I took his American Literature class covering the Beatnik generation of writers. The class was super interesting and the assignments were easy. He encourages out of the box thinkers and loves when you get creative with essays. Would really recommend if you value good feedback from your writing.

Professor Ed is a though grader but he values the effort of his students. He will help you if you show interest in his class. Any questions about how to write a paper? just ask him and he will be happy to help you

Professor Luter is very knowledgeable and cares about the students in his class being successful. There are assignments EVERY SINGLE DAY that are due. I made the mistake of thinking these were suggestions, but they are not. Overall, keep up and you'll do well. I learned things in this class that I will use in my writing forever.

Professor Luter is open to creative writing. I like the fact he provides a list of topics from which to choose. The subjects and topics were thought provoking and interesting. You may read and learn something in this course you never encountered before. There is a lot of reading and writing. Be sure you have enough time. I highly recommend him.

Never been good at writing papers but did amazing in this class. Topics are very general and wants you to write about what you are passionate about.

Professor Luter is by far the best English teacher Ive ever had. Today was my last day in his class and Im honestly kind of sad about it. His workload is manageable, he gives GREAT feedback, hes friendly and he even brings a little surprise to class everyday to help us emotionally. As long as youre ok with critique, take his class!

Mr. Luter is a tough leader, but in reality as long as you try he grades reasonably. Just make sure you're communicating with him whenever you're struggling. Just 3 major essays and 4 smaller essays. Passing this class is achievable, just do your work.

In-person Spring 2022. I loved Professor Luter's class. 50 years' experience shows. Grades on improvement and completion, not excellence. His lectures tend to wander, but there's always a point. Take notes! Notebook graded Most papers have a word LIMIT. One of his main focuses is clear, concise writing. If you show up, you'll do well! Dog in class

Professor Luter's class was the best part of my week. If you are self-conscious about your writing skills, Don't be. His feedback is constructive, and he grades on improvement. Be honest with him and ask for advice when you are unsure. Also, do the homework so you aren't bored in class. PS: You will love his Handsome Teaching Assistant.

Keep your eyes on your dog at all times

Overall, a great professor, I would've liked to take him in person though. He gives amazing feedback to his students about our essays & encourages us as writers to keep growing. English online is about as tedious as it sounds but he did the best he could & his lessons were relevant. Only downside is he slow at grading but lets us know he's behind.

Prof Luter was a great teacher, he was very informative and kind. He is a harsh grader on papers but gives you a clear outline and tries to help you pass. He gives great feedback.

Good professor just make sure not to make grammar mistakes (use Grammarly) and to read assignments CAREFULLY. He is nit-picky but he grades fairly and will help you with assignments if you reach out to him.

Professor Luter is a tough but fair grader. His feedback is constructive, and he grades on improvement rather than perfection. Use Unstuck study and take notes in class - it'll help you stay on top of the work.

Professor Luter is a good teacher. I don't think he grades too hard. Just go to class, do what he says, and follow the instructions. If you do that, you'll get an A at the end of the semester.
