He is the best deal for Speech or public speaking. Classes are fun and relaxing. YoU will leave this class a better and more confident speaker. You are guarenteed a A, as long as you go to class and prepare for the only 2 speech that you must present. I would recommend him to everyone.

Awesome teacher!! Very interesting and fun.. Lets you do alot of public speaking in small groups and builds you up for larger groups. Also, he gives you a review sheet for EACH test. The review sheet is then the duplicate of the test. STUDY THE REVIEW SHEET TO A 'T'... I truly enjoyed this class. You will enjoy each lecture!!

Though everyone loves him---I will state one thing for all you (including myself) exceptional students--he is not the way to go. He is an easy B for those who don't study and are kind of slackers; however, for those who try and work very hard--for A's...you may not get it. He does seem to be 'B' happy with the grades. No one should get an A? Ego.

How can anyone say that this teacher does not like to give A's. The fact is this is a speech class, therefore your speech must be presented with confidence and have the necessary content. I got an A in his class and I never suck up to him. If you can not get an A or B in this class then you're just lazy. he his the BEST speech professor at BCC

He is a cool teacher. He is a little too free and happy-go-lucky. But you learn the basics of speech by practicing and making speeches in the class. He also will put you in groups for some of your speeches. He hardly gives homework so to get an A jus cpomplete whatever work does give, and if you have a problem with your speech he'll help u with it.

Not very helpful. very disorganized with an "I don't care attitude." Highly Pretentious. I think he knew more about law, (considering that he is a lawyer), than he did speech. He's a loser because he checks this site and talks about in class about how he has a chili pepper next to his name. I don't recommend him at all. he was confusing and snobby.

This class is a joke until it comes to speeches. If you want a good grade on your speech make sure you make the required time. If you don't you'll automatically get a C or lower. So even if you have to BS it, make sure its the required time. He's not too quick to give out A's either but overall a pretty easy class & EXTREMELY laidback professor.

overall great class/ professor, he will try to seem intimidating the first day because he wants you to take him seriously. He doesn't ask you to "stay after class" what he does is use half of the class period for lecture and the second half he tells you that you are free to go but recommends you remain for help with your speeches or any questions.

Summer six week session 2014. First hour of class is lecture and you have to pay attention because he is all over the place. Second half is interactive, he gives you the option to stay and learn or leave EARLY. Prof. Miller went above and beyond to make sure my classmates and I were successful.

Apparently he found himself on this website and decided to make his classes harder to "discourage slackers", its an easy class truly but if you fall behind you basically have to teach yourself back to pace with the rest of the class. He no longer gives the min of C's on speeches and instead gives F's and D's to those who are not "adequate speakers"

Don't take him. That's all that needs to be said. He expects you to be perfect, doesn't really teach, and has this almost arrogant playful attitude about him. At the end of the day, I would have preferred a professor who taught us something rather than what who wanted us to teach ourselves.

Professor Miller is smart, funny and he is def a good speaker and knows his stuff. If you do as he says and follow instructions you will have no problem. Try to Stay after class and he will help you with your speech, he is very reasonable. Attendance is a must!!!

He was great when I took him for Speech. He was very helpful and tried his best to help all. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. This class helped me improve on my speaking skills in front of people.

Mr. Miller enjoys to help the students practicing their speeches; he takes the time to give you good bits of advice. The best part is when he takes action; Yes! He can demonstrate a speech from any topic. And it makes him a good teacher. It is not just a lecture. He talks fast for me but clear, so you just have to pay attention. Read the book.

Prof. Miller was the worst professor I have ever taken. He talked about things like vacations and his girlfriend that had nothing to do with speech. He told us to make an original speech and then he fails the most original ones and gives A's to the most basic ones. He constantly bragged about himself and the test was so hard almost everyone failed

Not a good teacher. His cat threw up on papers and he told students it was a coffee stain. Incredibly rude and inconsiderate and he is "always right". He will throw it in your face that he is a lawyer and you are not. Would never take him again. Didn't teach me anything and I worked a lot writing my speeches without his help.

Prof Miller is great. I got an A in his class simply by doing what he told everyone to do : practice your speech with him after class. Many students hav an out line but they dont PRACTICE their speech, they give their speech and it sucks because they never practiced, then they get mad with their low grade. LOL. PRACTICE WITH HIM EASY A,

Probable the easiest class to get an EASYYY A! Literally all you have to do: Midterm and speech... and that is it! Just make sure it is 4-5 minutes long. You have to use textbook for midterm but it is only 15 true or false questions. The speech, study but you can use your index cards while saying speech. Just dont lok at your cards the whole time!

if you have this professor and can get out of it... GET OUT OF IT! if you unfortunately are stuck with him here is how to pass. Just go along with whatever he says when he alters your speech points, stay after class every opportunity you have to work on your speech, and study for the mid-term from the moment hear about it; Read it carefully.

If you want to take a speech class take anyone else but this professor. Worst professor I have ever had. I worked so hard on my speech but he did not find my groups speech "interesting enough". Gave everyone Cs but his "pet student" got an A. Then gives a 15 true or false trick question exam. Everyone got D's and F's. Please take this advise

To put it simply, he's a devil's advocate and the type of person who would watch the world burn because he wants to see how it unfolds. He can be a lil wishy-washy at times and for the first half of class he will ramble on about the book and/or some other stories. He is very lively and talkative. Defnitely not for everyone.

We basically just had to take an open book midterm and then give one group speech, sounds simple and easy right? Nope. The open book midterm was stupid, it was a 15 q T or F test where he would switch one or two words to make you wrong. Who does that? And I worked hard and practices my speech, but when I was 30 sec. off, he bumped me to a B.

I took this professor for a 6-week mini-term class and he will make you work for your grade. This class is was stressful when it's a 6-week class. there were not many grades in this class just midterm and working on the speech and final. So you have to show up and get ready to work. He's fun and all, but he's also very strict.
