Worst teacher ever. I did so well in math lab and on practice tests, but when I took the real test I failed every single one. I even went and got outside help and understood it better and still failed. He gets so off topic and doesn't seem like he knows what he's talking about.

The curriculum for all students taking this class is the same, so that's really a non-issue. This instructor has tons of notes that you have to print out and instead of teaching, you spend the entire class trying to write down as quickly as he goes over things without much explanation, not to mention his many "squirrel!" moments. Take someone else.

Miller sometimes would show how to solve a problem, then tell you don't use that method which made it confusing sometimes. He moved quick and taught the entire time. Test can be hard, so try to make 100% on ALL homework and quizzes. He explains questions better 1 on 1 in the math lab.

Mr. Miller is a great teacher!! I passed with a 97. The test are not as difficult as everyone says but they also arent super easy. If you spend time understanding the homework, quizzes, and practice test you would do fine. I feel as though Mr. Miller was the best teacher for 151 because we had notes to refer back to and he made everything simply.

I took him Fall 2020, half in-person and half online. He isn't very tech savvy, so he takes forever to get his online lectures going. He also complains about random stuff the entire lecture.

Mr. Miller is a decent teacher, but it's the math department that sucks. So much homework and the tests are awful. Uses Pearson. This is a department-run course, so he doesn't have much say in anything. Avoid the course, but if you have to take it, Miller isn't a bad choice. He will help you outside of class, you just have to ask.

He isn't too bad. He does move kind of fast, so if you aren't really good at math I wouldn't recommend taking him. However, if you ever have any questions you can ask him and he can be somewhat helpful. This is a new course so try to kind of be understanding. He also has a problem with people having to leave class early which is weird.

The math department itself is beyond difficult so it isn't too much up to him or any other professor what's on the tests or homework but he does go into very specific detail and gives many examples. He does tend to talk to you like you're in fifth grade and have never did anything yourself ever. He does make it as easy as he can to students.

I took Mr. Miller for Math 1070, and he was an alright professor. Everyday there is an assigned workbook page at the end of class that you turn in for a grade. Everything else is done through ALEKS. If you miss a lecture, you will likely fall behind. Teaches thoroughly, but goes at a quick pace. Not forgiving with late work or changing due dates.

My biggest problem was when he would ramble about things or overexplain, which would put us behind on notes. Granted, he was willing to push back due dates when necessary. He's a pretty decent teacher, but you definitely have to put in work to learn on your own. He's pretty much willing to help whenever you reach out so don't hesitate to email.

DeShea Miller is not bad, but he isn't good. He does teach everything that ends up on the test, but the way he articulates his words and how fast they rush out of his mouth makes it hard to keep up with him. Halfway through the semester i stopped attending and just stayed in the math lab and did his ALEKS homework, and passed all my test with B's.
