Great prof. A lot of material covered in only 3 tests. Has pop quizzes at beginning of class over previous lecture and material to be discussed that day, but are only bonus, so they cant hurt your average.Tricky exams, but if you know the material 100% not hard to get an A or B. Book is an article packet he put together, so not an expensive book.A+

Do NOT take this professor. He only has 2 exams plus a final. His exams are very tricky!!!

I actually took him for BLAW 5332. He's a very good lecturer, and has many witty comments interspersed in his lectures. His format is solid lecture. I had 2 midterms and 1 final and a lot of in-class pop-quizzes and a few take-home essays. The essays weren't research papers. Miller cares about his students and make himself available. READ READ!

I enjoyed this class with professor Miller. You will need a book, but is not expensive AT ALL (I rented it for $4). Usually there was always a quiz at the beginning of class based from last class lecture or homework, so make sure to take notes. Tests are based from those quizzes and key terms he will provide for you to study. Overall, easy class.
