This course is pretty hard considering the sheer amount of content, but Luke explains things very well for the most part. He goes above and beyond to create "fill in the blank" lecture notes for his students which is extremely helpful and saves time, and makes sure to give students many example problems which is also very helpful.

He taught amazing! Would take again.Rate My Professors ↗
Lectures/notes are very organized and he's great at explaining difficult concepts. He always responds to Piazza posts very quickly and offers many opportunities to get help. Also very kind and creates a welcoming learning atmosphere. I was scared to take this class from what I heard about 240 with math dept but Prof Jeffreys made it great!Rate My Professors ↗
He was one of the best lecturers I have had here at UW-Madison. I was worried coming into what is usually a difficult class when taken with the math department into a manageable class. He knows what he is talking about and has a lot of resources to help his students, including recorded lectures and bonus office hours ahead of exams.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Jeffreys seems to be a great person and his teaching matches that. He is really knowledgeable about this subject and his notes are a really great resource. The exams are worth a large percentage of your grade since it's a math class, but they accurately follow the lecture material and homework assignments, so there aren't any surprises.Rate My Professors ↗
Luke is the perfect lecturer for a class like Math 240. He explains everything clearly and shows lots of care about our learning. Responds really quickly to emails or Piazza and records all lectures.Rate My Professors ↗
