Prof. Milham is a very thought-provoking guy... he makes you want to get out there and learn more about the subject. He is very knowledgeable about music, and his passion for the subject (and the art) is obvious. If you're taking music as a GER, take it with an open mind... the guy knows what he's talking about.

Awful prof!

I created an account to tell students about this stubborn professor. He is so particular about things that genuinely don't matter. His way or the highway. He talks so much about nothing, completely meaningless rants. My GPA suffered greatly and I didn't learn much. In the end, he tried to help but Please don't take him you will suffer as well.

This professor is so full of himself it's unbelievable. He constantly berates his students just to make himself feel better. He goes on a bunch of stupid tangents about himself and other irrelevant nonsense. Genuinely the worst professor I have had.

Professor Milham is clearly knowlegeable and a good lecturer. Class passes quickly despite the content being somewhat boring, so long as you participate. Almost too prepared; assignment instructions are very long and detailed. Strict and clear requirements and expections, but for a reason. Loves to talk and often goes off track/runs past class end.

Worst professor I've had so far at BSU. before the last class of the semester he honked at me then almost hit me with his car as he was running late to class per usual. he is often late to class and runs class late. class is nothing like you would expect it's more a history class than anything. he is rude, unorganized and unclear with instructions.

He's an oddball. Incredibly specific with what he wants. Stray away from that, even a bit, and he will not accept your work. Writes ESSAYS for prompts/directions. You basically have to regurgitate all HIS points to get credit. Thinks too highly of himself. He WILL email you at 3am with class updates, so silence those notifications...don't take him.

This has to be the worst class I have ever taken at BSU. I took this class to fufill a requirement and wish I took something else. He is incredibly rude to his students. He also makes very little notes and expects you to write down everything he says. This class is lecture heavy. All the quizzes and exams are online however. DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY!!

SAVE YOURSELF horrible person, even worse at actually doing his job. constantly off topic and will take 40 minutes to explain 2 class related concepts but insists his rambling is relevant. He lectures how your old middle school history textbook takes a full chapter to go into extreme detail on something unimportant to what the chapter is about

Professor Milham has specific teaching methods, but engaging with them can be effective. Textbook is required, but attending lectures is worthwhile as they provide helpful breakdowns. Use tools like Unstuckstudy alongside the textbook for efficient study prep.

if you are looking for an easy going professor, take Mr Milham, he is great, he's funny and he cares about making sure a student will pass this class with a good grade

Class was about American Popular music but somehow ended up talking about racism and blackface for majority of the semester. Learned pretty much nothing but was an easy class, easy work and no tests.
