Comment:

Luomas lectures are almost identical to his exams. His lectures consist of practice problems and he goes through all the problems which will repeat on the test. The last 20-30 min of class is when he gives worksheets that give students extra practice. His class is an easy A if you put in the work.

Professor Luoma is one of the best at AU. He really cares about his students and their performance in the class. His lectures are so clear, and he always asks if anyone has any questions. Don't stress too much about homework, but study the notes for the tests. If you need to take any math class, see if he's teaching it, and take him!

Luoma is a GREAT professor. As long as you come to class and pay attention to lecture you should be fine. He gives a lot of practice questions and worksheets which are VERY helpful, and they are formatted very similar to questions on the test. He truly cares about his students understanding the material, and is very quick to help if you're confused

Luoma is very nice and genuine. He really wants his students to succeed. I enjoy his teaching skills and Ive never been the one to like math. His PowerPoints and practice problems help a lot to understand the material. He tells you what will be on the test and he grades pretty fair. You can tell hes very passionate and loves helping his students!

I had Luoma online, and he was such a helpful professor. He uploaded step-by-step videos and was always accessible outside of class. He responded to every email and made sure you understood why you may have gotten an answer incorrect. My favorite thus far.

Comment:

Before tests he would have an optional review class and if you went he literally went over the test with just different numbers. He also gave extra credit if you did the online homework and those points went on the final. Super easy A and he was really easy to understand. If you had a question or did not understand he would explain in other terms.

He really cares about his students. Takes his time to explain everything and ensures students understand before moving on to something else. All of the homework is counted as one TEST grade which helps the final grade a lot. He will go the extra mile to explain things. Hes very intelligent!!!!!!

His lectures are great, he explains everything clearly and doesn't give too much material at once. He's also super nice and will answer any questions you have. Just show up to class, pay attention, and do the homework. Easiest math class I've ever taken.

Very sweet guy, really cares about his students. He explains everything REALLY well, which is nice for people who need the extra help. He gives A LOT of extra credit and is very clear about what will be on the test. He offered non-mandatory study sessions before each test and they were a HUGE help. GREAT professor, definitely recommend!

His lectures drag on and on. He has a very calm, monotone-ish voice so be prepared to fall asleep. He tries to joke around and sometimes goes on a tangent. Although lecture is boring, he will help you with anything. He's a very kind and humble guy. Attendance isn't mandatory. He posts lectures online (videos) in case you missed class too. He's okay

Luoma is a great math teacher. He assigns a lot of homework (MyMathLab) BUT it counts as a test grade at the end of the semester, so its an easy 100. I liked the way he organized the class period. Tests were very clear on what we learned. I would definitely take him again.

Comment:

GRU no longer has learning support classes. I was nervous because passing this class and the following compass determined my college fate. He was so understanding. Took his time explaining asked if we had questions let us work over problems until we felt comfortable with them. He would stay after class if we had any other issues.
