He's very enthusiastic and knows a good deal, although he gets a little mixed up when he's trying to talk and do calculations at the same time. It's a pretty easy class so long as you're good with logic. I recommend making a study guide for each test, as he won't give you anything. The book is next to useless, as his powerpoints have everything.

Very good and enthusiastic teacher. You can tell his genuine, true passion for math. He explains everything step by step and asks for questions prior to starting each class period. Assigns a easy project worth 10% of your final grade at the end of the semester that he is even willing to check for you before submitting. Overall, fair and easy.

I am embarrassingly bad at math so it's not my strong suit anyway, but I don't think I got much help from him. When I asked questions his answers were very vague and essentially what he had just said, so I still didn't understand the concept. He's a nice guy, just not that great of a teacher.

Professor Miller is really energetic and outgoing in class, but he is not very good at answering questions or providing help to students in need. His tests are incredibly hard and no curve is given, which is rough if math isn't your best subject. I recommend avoiding this class if you can. The textbook is useless.

Professor Miller is an excellent teacher. Don't be worried about taking him from any negative comments seen here. He IS willing to help, you just simply must ask or go to his office hours. He is extremely passionate, and he explains things in detail and step by step. Work hard, study, practice with WebAssign homework, and an A is very attainable.

This was the first math class I actually liked. EVER. Professor Miller is the man- he's so energetic and obviously loves his job. I am by no means a "math person", but this class wasn't very difficult at all, it's very calculator-oriented. I would definitely recommend taking this class if you need the credit and aren't great at math.

Miller's class was very easy if you have a background in 10th grade level mathematics. Even if you haven't done math in 4 years, his powerpoints (which he made available) had a lot of examples that we'd work through in class and explained how to get the answers using the calculator. I recommended his class to my friend and she agrees.

his examples in class are essential to understanding the homework and the test. The group project is a joke. It's basically there for a buffer for your grade. It's designed so you get a 100, which is 10% of your grade. He gives partial credit on your tests and attendance is extra credit. Take him! He's great and very good at what he does

If math is an easy subject for you, I would recommend taking him for 1101 due to his passion about the subject. If not, look elsewhere. He doesn't clarify everything as he teaches which can make it hard to understand. I spent more time at DAE than I wanted to. One easy group project, drops lowest quiz grades, and homework everyday.
