Favorite Professor at the school. Makes the material interesting and relates it to everyday life. Of course the material is difficult (its anatomy), but I think he does a great job explaining it.

As a freshman taking Miller's anatomy course my advice is study every night. I would study hours on end and still get D's on my test. His tests are very hard and they're only 50 questions which doesn't give you a lot of room to get questions wrong. I wouldn't advise taking his class if you have the choice. Nice guy though.

Dr. Miller is a nice professor. I had him for both lecture and lab for anatomy I & II. My advice is to read the book and completely memorize the lecture PowerPoints. If any extra credit is offered do it, because you're probably going to need it. He will answer any questions you have in most cases except sometimes in lab when it comes to the models.

Hardest professor you'll probably have to ever encounter at the entire university. He goes beyond what is expected of you, and doesn't care about how you do at all. He gives you a ton of information and never goes back over it again, so you basically have to teach yourself the course. Spelling always counts, never a word bank. Zero extra credit.

While Miller is enthusiastic in teaching his material, he is horrible at explaining it and relating it to the test. He gives us the information, but on the tests everything is worded differently and with concepts he only mentioned discussed in great detail. The only grades are the tests so if you don't pass you're done.

Dr. Miller is the best anatomy professor at UT as long as you're willing to learn. Anatomy is hard, I've heard how other professors make it easy, but Dr. Miller will challenge you to learn and use critical thinking during tests rather than just memorization (not saying you don't need it). I you're a hard worker and do what he says you'll get an A.

Lectures go pretty fast and he doesn't post the lecture slides. His tests are very hard and his averages on the past two tests we took were both in the low 60% (he doesn't curve). He is terrible at teaching. If you have the option don't take him. It was extremely discouraging when I would study very hard and still do bad on his tests.

Very rude. Does not care about helping you at all. Will always say if you do not go to open lab you will not do well. Not true. Open lab is not as helpful. The smartest kids in the class weren't even doing well. He is actually impossible, do not take him. He's the reason I changed my major.

Dr. Miller is extremely knowledgeable. This class is not supposed to be easy, it's anatomy and physiology. If you want to do well you need to know the material AND take the time to learn it. That being said, Dr. Miller has a different teaching style that might not work for everyone. Additionally, he does not post PowerPoints.

Had him for lecture and lab. My biggest mistake was probably taking this as a fall semester freshman that does not know how to study. His tests were very textbook heavy if you're taking him YOU NEED TO READ THE BOOK. He is hilarious but doesn't help too much if you are struggling. Doesn't upload grades and won't tell you when stuff is due.

No matter how much you study, you'll never get by the tests. Ended A&P 1 with a 95. First class I ever failed and had to withdraw. Tests have critical thinking questions that we don't even touch on in class. Probably the worst professor I've had.

He is the worst professor you can take on this entire campus. You cannot get in touch with him (never answers his emails), Is condescending towards all students, and cannot lecture to save his life. Don't even bother showing up to his class you'd learn more from YouTube and reading the textbook.

This was like voluntarily stepping into a psychological experiment to test how fast one can lose the will to live. He is arrogant and hostile.He doesn't teach—he monologues, belittles, and assigns work with 0 explanation. Asking for help is treated like a personal insult. If you value your GPA, sanity, or time, run. This class is academic purgatory

AWFUL. Would give him a ZERO if available. He feeds off students' misery. You cannot find a student or faculty member who has anything nice to say about him. I don't know where a man that TINY AND BALD finds the audacity to treat people the way he does. I'd be mad too if I didn't grow a centimeter since pre-k.

Absolutely the worst professor I've ever had. Short, bald, and bursting with hatred. He talks down to students, shuts down questions, and acts like he's above everyone—students and faculty. His lectures are useless, and he seems to enjoy making people feel as small as he is. Avoid at all costs if you want to keep your will to live.

There is not a single redeeming quality I could say about Miller. He is so disinterested in helping his students succeed or even teaching for that matter. If he hates his students this much every semester he would be more useful as a high school parking attendant.

Good luck getting help if you're struggling in his class. He has no office hours and says to “email him to meet” and then never responds to set up a time. I had to go to another professor's office hours and class in general to do good bc his lectures also suck. He skips half of it saying we should know it already and if we don't we deserve to fail.

Terrible. He is often lost during class, and looks for the help of Dr. Elliot and Dr. K. He has no idea how to connect with his students, and assigns the entire research article to read. For some reason, they have him grading essays, and gave me a 70 on one with absolutely no feedback or indication where my shortcomings were. VERY Condescending.

To call him a doctor is a disgrace to all doctors. This class isn't even difficult he just a.) doesn't know how to teach and b.) can't even answer a simple question about what he's teaching. What he lectures and what ends up on the exam are vastly different. if you can take this with anyone else, do it. If you cannot, don't take it.

Hate is not a strong enough word for how I feel. Unadulterated loathing is it. You know that scene in mean girls where Regina writes in the burn book?

Dr. Miller is a funny guy and makes you laugh. However, he doesn't really add anything to this class; a business professor would be better. Sometimes he seems kind of lost, and doesn't always have much input compared to the other professors. He kind of just stands in the back of the class and observes, and when he does talk it is kind of awkward.

The way Dr Miller is spoken about on here is completely inaccurate. He is one of the most caring, kind, and optimistic professors I have ever had. If you want to be prepared for your future education (masters or graduate) you will be beyond ready after taking his class. TAKE THIS AS YOUR SIGN WHEN YOU ARE CONSIDERING TAKING HIS CLASS TO TAKE IT.

I have never walked out of a class learning&retaining as much information as I did in his class. Such an amazing professor and cares about his students more than I can say.

Miller has truly changed my UTampa experience. He is so smart and has so much experience in this field, which will help prepare you. Anatomy is a hard class, no matter who you take, and I would recommend Miller as a professor to anyone. He is kind, caring, and makes the lectures fun, especially for an anatomy course. THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO TAKE HIM.

Does not provide students with lecture slides and goes through them very quickly. Exams make up basically the whole grade. However, he is very knowledgeable and if you study and put in the work, you will do well in his class. His exams are pretty straightforward if you study well. He does require taking paper notes which I think helps

I had him for 230 and 234; he isn't as bad as his ratings make him out to be. He goes super fast in lecture but will slow down if needed. His lectures are super detailed and informative, but you still definitely have to read the textbook to do well. His tests are hard, but that's expected in anatomy and as a prerequisite for most majors.

Dr. Miller is a very funny guy, but when it comes to his teaching style it is horrible. He doesn't post his lecture slides and he goes through them very quickly. His grades are mainly tests, and he doesn't grade the other things until the end of the semester. He also gives little extra credit. If you don't have to take him, I wouldn't recommend.

If you are not religious, pick one and start praying now. Not only does he make his class way harder than it has to be, he is ALSO so horribly cruel to his students. Some of these 1 star ratings are TOO NICE. Any good ratings he has on here has to be written by himself. Don't say you haven't been WARNED.

the only grades in this class are the exams. (maybe two small Mcgraw assignments). He doesn't set you up for anything. Doesn't post the slideshows, review, or anything. He goes through the slides so fast and you gave never write your notes. He does allow any notes you've taken in class (with his stamp) to be used on the final exam. But holy frick
