really nice and easy, very understanding
her tests are easy but her papers are hard. shes really nice but very stubborn
she is so easy, her midterm and final are a joke, could be a little more lenient on the papers, quizzes are a little diff if you dont do the reading, overall easy and clear teacher, do the work and you'll ge an A.
she is a really nice teacher, if you do the work you'll get an A.
SHE's GREAT! she explains the work before the quizz the following week so just pay ATTENTION and do the reading. she keeps the class interesting and she KNOWS her work!she gave thorough explanation and review of the final. trust me do the work and you'll do well!
she is really nice and takes an interest in the students and class, good grader, finals and midterm were easy if you study and she gives a review, overall great teacher, take her if you want to do well and enjoy classics
excellent professor. It's an easy A if you show up to class and do the reading. The class is very interesting.
The class is very boring if you aren't interested in classics/ mythology. She's very helpful to students and communications are answered within a short amount of time.
she is a wonderful, sweet professor. very helpful, however, the material if ur not interested in classics, is pretty boring. She is a student herself so she could relate to us in many ways. A very cool Professor.
This is an excellent professor who knows what she is talking about. Her ability to clarify what would otherwise be difficult is superb. I definitely recommend this professor to any interested student. She is also very helpful in and out of class
This teacher is heaven sent. She genuinely cares about her students and is willing to help you by giving you further direction in and out of class. She keeps you in the know through email. She makes her class come alive through the use of images and relating material of class to other resources.I loved almost every 9:25 monday morning session.
I loved prof Luhrs. Shes intersting and un-boring. She brings the class to life and her assignments are fun and generally easy. I got an A+ in her class. I recommened her to anyone who might struggle with Mythology and anyone who just loves it- like i do.
This prof. is amaizing and so sweet. She taught classics in an interesting and graceful manner. I totally appreciated her way of teaching. Highly recommend her.
She is a great professor. She is a superb professor. You can tell she loves to teach and does anything in her power to help her students.. I highly recommend her as a professor.
She cares and is extremely understanding to the point where if she thinks she was to tough, ambiguous, etc. on a question on an exam she will give the class full credit on the question. She also knows her stuff, is very friendly, and awesome at relaying info to student in exciting way. Has to be best teacher for subject...HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
I would love to know who wrote those positive comments about this professor. My guess would be either herself, or her very close friends and family. She's the worst professor i've encountered at BC. She asks students to memorize about 100 greek gods and godesses along with 3 characteristics of each one. If u want a crummy GPA then she's your gal.
Self centered person.
she teaches very well & is really nice but there's a lot of work, it's not an easy A but i loved it...u'll learn a lot...she keeps u on ur toes!
she is a hard grader. uses dunkle's study guide. have about 10 or 11 books to read not too long. she does a quiz after each reading assgnment. she makes classics interesting. has 2 papers, department midterm &final, & quizzes.she is a nice,genuinely concerned professor. she does not let u redo a paper if you have a low grade. use tutors.
i liked her. show up to class & pay attention. while the subject matter may be boring she trys to make it interesting. reasonable amount of work to do but nothing ridiculous. grades a lil tough on the paper but everything else was fairly easy. she was very organized,gives a decent lecture, no surprises and fair .. to me that's a good professor.
She is dear and helpful to us. She is inspiration. She is clean and fresh. It is nice to see her. Her lessons, answers effects us to be the half of a person she is. She is awesome.
she is the worst prof i ever had, ignore all the positive ratings--they r lies.
She is so sweet and nice but you must work hard for her class.
Professor Luhrs is exactly the kind of teacher that we all look for. She is not only a wonderful teacher but she is also a terrific person. The readings are mandatory, but she does not assign too much reading per night. Plus she always assigns the most interesting readings. As long as you do the readings you can do very well in this class.
Prof. luhrs is a great teacher. i have her now. she is really nice and helpful. she wants everyone to do their best. gives a quiz at the end of a reading but its like a easy 5 question quiz. she is also available for tutoring for anyone. i never use to have any interest in greek readings but now i like it. take her if you want pass and learn too.
Prof. Luhrs is a great professor. She knows what she is talking about. You HAVE to do the readings or most likely you won't get a good grade. She would give quotes to identify and if you didn't do the readings it would be impossible to tell who said what. She gives a lot of quizzes, 2 response papers, a midterm and a final. But I took her for winte
she's very demanding, but at the same time very sweet and enthusiastic.
She was a very good teacher. I took her in the summer and she gave lots of quizzes before class but they were just easy details from the book so you'd do well if you just read the Greek classics assigned. We also did powerpoint presentations and that wasn't too challenging, more like summarizing. And if you have a real problem, she will listen.
She's the sweetest and most caring professor I've ever had. You have to do all the reading and take good notes. There is one or two quizzes on each book (12 quizzes in all) she drops the two lowest quizzes. There's a mid term a final, a final paper, and an in class presentation. If you come to class prepared and study for quizzes, its an easy A

She is very helpful and clear. She cares about her students and likes class participation. She gives quizzes based on her lectures & readings but they are ok. I totally recommend her. So Take her. She's one of the best professors in classics!
She is an extremely helpful lady! She does require you to do work and attend class. She gives very clear lectures! Quizzes on reading, must buy books! She takes out personal time to help students. very passionate about what she teaches. Requires work to be done! If u listen carefully in class you can def.ace all the quizzes!
Only had for a week or two. But from what I see she is a great lady who knows what she talking about. She stopped coming due to surgery. But if she is back I think she would be a great professor to have. Her requirements to read the books assigned and be on TIME
The best professor i ever had, trust its worth going to her class =)
Stay away for the sake of you GPA ppl she may seem sweet but she is so unclear with what she wants on her papers, her exams are so precise must answer exactly what the book says and extra credit? none , is there for you sure, does she do anything to help? nope, ignore these ludicrous comments they are lying, 3/4th of my class failed this semester.
i dont get how other raters think shes a nice prof or even easy. she is NOT easy! she has an attitude problem. she does not give make up papers. she grades harshly and is unclear abt the assignments. shes unorganized. she may look nice but is not. will not help you out if you are struggling in the class. will just tell you to drop it. dont listen to the other ratings and please take my advice: dont take her! if u want to maintain ur gpa then avoid her!!
Okay so everyone kept telling me it's an easy A in her class but the truth is..she is so hard at grading. Has a massive attitude problem..once she help the class in the middle of teaching. She is very vague about what she expects in your paper. Overall, who ever said she is an easy prof. they must have taken her during the SUMMER TIME.
Previous 3 comments are very untruthful. I took the class probably at the same time with those people and got A-. The only thing is that she does take things personally, other than that she is very helpful - she reviewed my paper draft 2 times and gave me comments hot to improve it. If you're paying attention and read all the book you'll do great.
i took this class again this summe bcuz i had her last semester and withdrawed and this summer i got a B. wat now?she doesnt teach! take scott instead. his sarcasm is much better than her. all she does is put slides up and not go over the readings. scott doesnt even use the computer and u r still interested in the topic even though most of it is boring. im telling u again dont take her!
she really sucks and meant. she doesnt like student ask her so many question. Really hard in grading.
She's a tad annoying. If you don't write exactly what she wants to hear on her papers and quizzes, she takes points off. Her tests are not so bad, and her papers are prty easy (1-2 pages). She gives a quiz e/ day- but dnt think that you cud get by on doing no work. Come to class, and pay attention and you'll be fine. Not an easy A, bt nt a hard 1.

When she says that you must read the books- u dont really have to. Just listen out for the quotes she mentions in class and make note of them bc she will ask them. She happens to make the books pretty interesting cuz she teaches on 3rd grade level and retells the story. (feels like story time).
She's ehhh...nice but moody sometimes. grades harshly on her essays. her exams might seem easy but they are sometimes tricky. She scolds the computer when it doesn't work..which is uber annoying. she really does tell us the story on a 3rd grade level.
Looks like shes nice but mood changes by the weather. Office Hours are horrible, no walk ins cause apparently she needs 1 hour and 40mins for lunch. Grades Essay extremely hard cause she only accepts the wordings she likes. Tests are okay not too hard except the short essay + essay where again she only wants the wording she likes.
Luhrs is a pretty nice person. She has office hours that are alright. Now as an professor, she is a harsh grader. Her essays and short answers arent that easy, just saying. She does make it interesting but I honestly would not take another class with her. She is nice, but when it comes teaching she's on and off. I would rather have consistency.
I agree with most of the reviewers,she can be nice and helpful but too moody for my taste. Please leave your personal matters at the door please! Quizzes are easy if you pay attention in class but the essays she is unclear and harsh on grading! Midterm and finals are not bad if you review your notes. some days you hate her, other days like her.
Wants specific answers and can be boring with certain books. Don't need to read books just pay attention in class.
Goes over every reading so you don't really have to read, just pay attention to her lectures. Sometimes she's wants very specific answers on quizzes. Midterm and final exams are easy if you pay attention to her. She can put you asleep.
She explains everything crystal clear, do the reading assignments and you have an A guaranteed.
Nice lady, do your work.
There's a lot of readings but they are interesting and she explains all of them very well. Just take notes and you will be set for her quizzes and exams!
She's a good professor everything she teaches are on her quizzes but her papers are hard just do the readings and don't miss class
Really bad teacher, save yourselves from unnecessary stress and take someone else
I loved this professor! She is amazing, all of the reviews on here are false. This class will only be hard for those who are lazy. If you are too lazy to listen in class and to write some notes; you will obviously not pass. Every class requires some effort. Professor Luhrs explains all of the books crystal clear; it's up to you to pay attention.
This professor is freaking ridiculous.Her quizzes are very easy, it takes little to no effort to get 100 on them in addition to the multiple choices on the test. But the essays she assigns is what tends to screw up your grade. She is very specific on what she wants on the essays even though her directions are vague.
She teacher very well and keeps her students interested to the topic.
As long as you read you should get an A. She is very clear. At first I thought she was mean because that is the way she comes off but she is a very sweet person once you get to know her. I asked her what she wanted from me in the paper and she told me exactly what to do. She is a good professor.
She is so nice and sweet. her tests and quizzzes are fairly easy if you read the books and pay attention to her notes but her papers are another story. she grades reallly hard on her papers so be prepare.
She's awesome.
She is the worst. She is rude. Don't take her if you don't want stress in your life.
Too much to read. You are just done if she hates you. Harsh grader.
Harsh grader. Rude.
Worst prof ever!!
She is not there for you!
Worst one ever!
She is rude
Tough grader. She is rude. She does not care about you at all.
This class was so boring because of her. She was not even teaching the full class time. We were just taking quizzes and than she were making us to discuss it with our group members. Thats it. She does not care about you at all!
She grades the essays too harshly she gave me bad grades both. Gets mad when you ask her questions.
She does not care about you. You are done if she hates you. She does not like grammar mistakes.
Get ready to read and memorize.
Great professor. A lot of work so get ready. Very tough grader
She is really nice to the students, and shes really understanding. You have to read Greek mythology which is kind of difficult to understand. However, she makes it understandable during her lectures. Quizzes are easy if you do the reading and take notes in class. She is tough grader though when it comes to her papers. Quizzes-Midterms-2papers&Final
She's a good professor, but if she is very unfair. I deserved an A in her class but because she felt that I put her class last and decided to give me a B. She chooses her favorites and if you are not one of those then don't think you'll get higher than a B. Also too much readings.
even if there is no other professor available, no. just no. trust me, no.
I took her for a College Now class back when I was in HS. She was so easy. There were tests every 2 weeks but if you study notes, everything from the notes were on the tests. Lectures were understandable, pretty much common sense. 1 project, also easy.
You need to read the books. My main problem is the tests that are only 10 questions. That leads to a lot of markdown if you don't know 2 or more questions. She is very very nice though, and her dyed hair is very quirky.
Professor Luhrs is an amazing tacher, I noticed many people don't like her because she is very upfront and honest. She doesn't give extra credit but if you read and memorize the tests are super easy. She's always willing to help her students and she's very knowledgable, her lectures are great (shes an awesome translator).
pointless class, avoid at all times, focus on your important classes, she's a joke and thinks your time revolves around her worthless class
Great Professor!!! Gives amazing lectures on Greek mythology. She helps her students understand the material. Quizzes are based on her explanation of the book. Easy class to pass!
Overall she's a great professor. She is very knowledgeable and she shares that knowledge very well among her students. Things to note, make sure you focus on the material, study hard, make sure you aren't absent, and don't stress her course out. She's a straight forward professor, and she's very understanding, but she really makes you work hard.
This professor is very passionate about what she teaches and it shows. There will be a book or article to read for every movie you watch, and one of these you will have to write your paper on, so take good notes. The exams are half multiple choice half short response, and if you read all of the material you wont have a problem. The mc are easy.
Does not have mercy for your GPA .no extra credit opportunities
I love this professor!!shes amazing , knows her stuff ! I wish more professors were like her. Just do the reading and you will be fine
This professor is great and amazing. If you ask her any questions or need help in class, she will try the best to help you out. She wouldn't give you a hard time, a very easy grader and class. If you read the books and movies she asks you to, you would pass easily with it. She also responds to email fast, her class is interesting and easy.
Very rude lady that goes through emotional rollercoasters. If she is in a bad mood that's it everyone fails. She closes off a class whenever she doesn't feel like teaching. And she gets upset if you don't participate. No extra credit, no mercy for her students, not caring at all. Not understanding. Avoid her.
She likes you if you participate. Would probably be a better experience in-person.
She is rude, and easy to going angry when you ask question, hard to get a good grade, many recite and exam.
Prof Luhrs is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about her subject but I can see how she can come off as a little rude/cold. It seems like she does have her favorites but I don't think she lets that influence grades. We had 2 papers this semester and the grading criteria was not clear and we had to email her if we wanted to know our grades.
This professor takes your work too personally and grades harshly. You could get all the multiple-choice on a midterm correct and end up with a C+ for that grade. She will be rude during class and in her emails to you. I would not recommend her.
Please do not take her ! shes very rude her lectures are so long and its just story telling. You will not learn from her lectures, her exams are very hard based off of stuff you dont even go over in class.
This course is great if you're looking for a simple class to fulfill your required common core credits. The professor literally translates the readings in class so you can understand what you're reading and all you have to do is listen and write it down and you are good to go. She can be a bit rude at times but if you just do you, you'll be fine.
you will HAVE to read a ton of books to really understand whats going on in the class, would not take again
Great Professor! She throughly explains the readings to help us get a better understanding of the texts.
