He is a great person, Id love to have him as a mentor or something. But his lectures were confusing and unorganized, I feel like I learned nothing. His exams are insanely hard, there is material on them that hes never gone over but the grading is very nice. Labs are also really hard but he offers good advice in office hours so go to those.

Expect to open up an exam or homework assignment and wonder when he ever went covered this material in class.

Best professor ever, clear hand-written notes and simple homework solutions, homework is effortless to complete. Exams are welcomed to use electronic devices.

THE BEST PROFESSOR ON CAMPUS. This class was the easiest, and most enjoyable class I've ever taken at UCSB. The lab was cake and you're ALLOWED CALCULATOR AND THE TEXTBOOK DURING THE TEST. Talk about an easy A

Good ol' Lucky Luke, most chill professor ever. Labs are easy and fun. Tests are open note --super easy! Never had to study. Super jokester that often brings the class to tears. I will always remember my time in this class.

He's an awesome lecturer, perhaps one of the best at the university. His energy and class engagement are unparalleled. However, his organization of the class was very poor. If he can spend time to layout a reasonable format for the classes he teaches, he has the potential to be one of the best instructors around.

He'll restart a proof 5 times to make sure everybody understands it, watching his lectures a second time helps so much. Great experience overall, tough class though so be prepared to ask questions.

Most of these reviews are either jokes or extremely sarcastic. Luke is great...if you actually care about learning. Most tests are near impossible, and his lectures are difficult to follow. BUT, if you are willing to watch the lectures a second time...you do really start seeing the world of ECE differently. Don't be scared to go to OH for help.

Ever since I received my grade in Luke's class, he has shown up in my dreams every night. In these dreams he is usually on the phone, telling people to stop pattern matching. Seriously, Luke is so inspirational and ECE 10A has been a life-changing experience. Luke taught us how to think, and to value understanding over memorizing procedures.

This class has changed how I view life, how I approach problems, and it made me realize that I'm actually not bright at all; I'm just good at pattern-matching. You WILL learn a LOT if you take a class with Luke, for example: knowing does not mean understanding, your understandings must be generalized, base your reasoning on mathematical rigor, etc.

Luke is the best person in existence, generally. Ask him to teach you about nodal analysis. Midterm was a joke, four ridiculously easy questions. He loves to talk about putting things in a black box (??) and his favorite phrase is "by DEFINITION". Take all the classes you possibly can with him. Homework problems tend to be very solvable. W prof.

Luke is somewhat of a main character. I rarely think about my other professors, but I think about Luke at least 12-16 times per day. His midterm gave me a heart attack and I wanted to cry after the 2nd question. His OHs are very helpful, but he has trouble teaching during lecture because everyone is too afraid to disclose their ignorance.

Honestly one of the most personable professors I've ever had. His office hours are very informative and fun to go to. He will go over anything as long as you ask him. Just be ready to study and be active in this class to succeed. In the end, he is very reasonable and understands the students.

Fantastic, it is the easiest midterm I have ever been taken. And most of the student should receive an A.

Luke always encourages us to think, so when taking the midterm, I was thinking of switching to CS. Not because it was hard, but becuase the problems were so incredibly trivial, CS is probably more mentally stimulating.

I took this class as a GE and Luke is one of the best professors I've had at UCSB. Exams are welcomed to use electronic devices, though I don't see why anyone would, and the homework is always intuitive and goes over what we've learned in class. As a Fine arts major, I don't see why people are complaining about this class, it was a free gpa boost.

This is an amazing lecturer, if you want to imporve your gpa, just take his courses. His lecture is really interesting and well-organized. You can ask him questions any time during the lecture and it's easy to follow him.

Best professor I have ever had at UCSB. His lectures are phenomenal and easily understood. His tests are so easy and straightforward. midterm could have been a bit harder, I could do some of the problems in my sleep. His homework is well thought out and painless as well. would take again.
