Precalc with him was average. Not too many positives. Biggest cons: Monotone, looks up instead of maintaining eye contact, will put you to sleep sometimes. You need to do the homework to learn. There is a lot of homework but just do the work and you will be fine.

He is great if you have already taken Calculus 1 and failed it. He doesn't give out study guides but is an easy grader. He gives points for everything. As long as you are on the right track, he will give you credit for the work you have shown. Most people will say he is bad but he gives you a chance to ask questions most students stay quiet

This professor is so monotone . Which only makes the class go to sleep .He rushes through subject matter so you realy have to pay attention . He comes late to class everyday , it didnt bother me but just letting you know . I kinda felt bad for him at times because he would try to relate to class but it'll fall flat .I recommend you dont take it .

This teacher didn't give our class any study guides. How am I suppose to know what to study? He gives too much homework. He gives homework in the textbook every class and he doesn't grade it. He teaches too fast. He doesn't curve tests. He always comes late to class and ends class early, doesn't give extra credit. He has horrible hand writing.

Literally one of the toughest professors I've ever had. Doesn't give you examples. very monotone voice. The class is a lecture basically. Doesn't really help or answer questions the way you need. He goes entirely too fast so if you're lost in the class good luck trying to stay on task. Heavy grader and expects you to already know how to do things

He was the worst professor I've ever had. He was about 5-10 minutes late to every class and doesn't seem to care about the students. His lectures are not very helpful, he is a poor teacher. I would avoid him.

He is terrible and doesnt care if his students succeed. He speeds through lecture like if we can understand his hand writing and what he writes on the board. His lecture notes does not correlate with mymathlab hw (15%ofgrade) & tests are made up, not even from the hw. So basically you need to teach yourself and have other resources other than him.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Would not recommend him to anyone. Rushes through all chapters and works and often makes minor errors. Very soft spoken man so its easy to get bored & fall asleep in class. Doesnt really like answering questions in class and looks at the ceiling while teaching. If you take his class I strongly recommend tutoring after every class

The first class I ever failed. I honestly feel bad for him, but the guy lacks common sense. Doesn't give a clear description of what to expect on tests/mid-term/final. It was a guessing game and I spent hours studying useless material that I didn't need to. Honestly, spare yourself and take it online/or with a different professor.

If you're really good at math, you should be fine. But if you are not good at math , avoid him. He's really smart, but doesn't know how to properly convey his material to his students. His grading criteria consist of 3 exams. 2 are 25% each and the final is 50%. Gives hw and doesn't grade, attendance doesn't count. He will confuse you!

I passed his class because I already knew algebra very well. Pro tip, if you want to show up for attendance then leave, don't bother, because he only takes attendance for potential extra credit if you need it. My peers that didn't know algebra well at all had a lot of trouble, and he was extremely boring anyway. Would take again for ez A tho lol.

Professor Miller does not speak directly to anybody. He does not engage students in class. He does not post grades throughout the semester. He assigns a lot of homework, but never checks it which is good, but overall the class is just very boring. It can also be hard to keep up, because he talks as if students already know the material.

Lots of homework

His handwriting is completely illegable. He goes through material fast without making sense of any of it, and assigns the homework after. His examples and demonstrations of the lessons are all over the place and he doesn't stop to see if anyone has any questions. Take him if you're already good at math, but be prepared to teach yourself.

Whatever you do, do not take this professor. Avoid him at all costs, all he does is lecture all class and doesn't stop for peoples' questions. He assigns quizzes that you do not have enough time to complete through an online course that you have to pay for.

Very disrespectful with students that dare to tell him that his writing is illegible. He does not care about what you learn. I had to take this class because I had no other option; I knew what to expect from him but was still surprised by how bad he is at teaching. Worst professor in this university, we are so unfortunate of having him in faculty.

Does not properly teach in class. Spent most of the semester teaching myself the material. Handwriting is so bad. Can't even understand it. Writes like a little child. Would not come to class everytime if he did not take attendance. Worst prof I ever got so far.

Many students may think Professor Miller is a difficult instructor but in fact, he is a fantastic instructor. You have to ask questions if you don't understand something. He also gives homework and you HAVE to do the homework so you can have a better understanding of the lecture.
