He was awesome until he REFUSED to meet w/me for even 10 min!!!
One of the best professors at Pace, great teacher & gives review sheet fo tests
Awesome professor, easy and clear with material. Test based on review sheets...

****IN GREAT PROF!!!!!!!!
Best professor for mat 117 very clear & easy exams straight from reviews & hw.
not willing to help and must rely on self teaching
one of the best stat. professor. very organized.. like him alot and i recommend.
very good professor!
BEST MATH PROF ever considering the pace math dept sucks! VERY clear!! TAKE HIM
Extremely rude to students. Unwilling to answer questions.
Explains well. Tells you what to expect on exams.
I HATE math, but this guy made me not only understand but pass with an A! Easy!
Explains well, is fair, makes math understandable & relatively interesting
Real nice guy, should take him...study and you will do good. Take home test sux
Very helpful, explains things throughly and is willing to help.
Not too hard. Gives practice tests.
i'm horrible at math & got an A. dont have to buy book.
Great professor, kinda geeky, fun, helped me get an A!!!
take him and get an esay A!
not easy, goes really fast through a topic
He really into math (its gets scary). Just follow review sheets and keep up!
Helpful, clear review before each exam
So much fun and so helpful. This should be the only math professor you take!
Some people are just born to teach. He is great.
Ahh...Such a wonderful class to take with this professor. He is brilliant and very intelligent. He delivers the material in an interesting way. Also, the take-home is challenging, and the in-class exam is fair. Definetly recommend!!!!
Too Fast, doesn't care if you get it, not clear, selfish. Never take in summer. Talks about other math, i.e., Geometry that has nothing to do with finite math. HE IS OVERRATED. I'd give him a Grade of B.
While it's not easy, he lets you know exactly what will be on the exams. Just study the practice tests and you'll do fine with him.
DO NOT come late...he will make a spectacle out of you. Other than that, he's an A, #1 professor, very knowledgeable and really into his profession.
he is a nightmare. thinks that all students are little "Millers". if you want your average to sink, take him...u'll remember that experience for the rest of your life....
very nice guy, thought i messed up on my take home test but i didn't cuz he give me particlar credit. test r similar to review sheet, no need to buy book also practice ur note n hw u b fine on ur test. cool guy the best
Goes very fast through lessons, doesn't give good explanations on problems.
LOADS better than Taiani.
Excellent math professor... very fair lets you take 1/2 the test home!!!
a little weird, but he is really good. 40% on take home exam, and 60% on in class. 3 exams plus final. Take him and u will learn a lot.
Horrible professor....no matter how much work you do, youll still do bad. Take homes will take atleast 2 to 3 hours to do, and youll do well but when it comes to taking the test GOOD LUCK!
His is a really brilliant professor. Wants you to do well. 3 tests and a final. Practice exams are almost indentical of the in class exams.
excellent excellent excellent
It's a pleasure to have a professor so involved in his line of work. He cares about students and genuinely wants them to do well, not for a favorable evaluation at the semester's end but for US, the students. Take him, you won't regret it.
What can I say? Miller is the best. Not a class for the average Pace student who comes to class once in a blue moon. If you do not show up, you will not do well. Gives practice tests that are VERY similar to the in class test. Clear and concise.
miller is da man. he gave me an A
Prob the best prof for this class, you learn statistics in his class, easy b/c you learn! no surprises!!not an easy A, but if you do the work and deserve it, you get it!
if u want to fail, then take this class. is like hes speaking a foreign language and gives u ridiculous #'s to work with. goes way to fast and doesnt give u a chance to understand. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!! RUN
Statistics. If you're into math then you'll really like this prof. Really makes you think. Never bored in class here. Always bringing in the fundamentals we already should know. Very interactive class. Great.
I am a complete moron when it comes to math and even I was able to comprehend the material. An excellent professor worth every bit his doctoral degree. A must-take.
Good luck with him! A lot of work for no reason+ a lot of hw!!!DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT THERE WERE SO MANY MORONS IN THIS CLASS. PROF WAS PATIENT CARING AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS PACE COMING TO
Excellent,Excellent,Excellent!! Exams are 40% bring home, 60% in class. Even you screw up with the in class exam, he gives you 10pts extra if you re-do all the problems in the exam again. Exams are similar with the review sheet he gives out.
Miller is very understandable, very clear, explains everything thoroughly, doesn't give you any nasty test surprises. Really nice and good sense of humor.
Light work load. Easy tests. Doesn't take time to learn all your names but will give you one on one assistance.
It's a little ridiculous that you have to write a paper in his class, but other than that, hes ALRIGHT. I don't like the fact that if you answer something wrong in class, he gives you these weird looks as if you're stupid! Eh, i wouldn't take him again...
Good luck! Like the post below; Very hard tests, a lot of homework and assignments for no reason! If you are struggling with math - you're going to get lost in the class!!!
Good LUCK in his class. He thinks everyone is a little version of him in math. Well, nooooooo Not everyone is a nerd. Makes things very complicated for no reason. Don't take his class.... Unless you want your GPA to drop!
Why are others whining? I studied minimally and got maximal grade. Study the notes, go over the practice test, and get an A like me.
Great professor. If you are not retarted you will get a good grade.
He is the best ,very caring and really will work with you.He is what a real math professor should be.
Clear in teaching style. Gives take home exams and adds it with the in class exam. 3 tests and 1 final. Fair grader. No book required, everything is based on his notes - so take good notes and pay attention!
Does everything he can to help, but u have to REALY pay attention & do homework he gives.Tutoring and e-mailing him for questions is a good idea, he IMMEDIATELY responds. VERY nice guy, just a little tough to follow. But do alll your work pay attention, and if your not a math whiz B is max grade.
amazingly easy, the only problem is to really study for his tests and know the material well, as his tests are NOT hard, but are too lengthy, and that's why most other people complain (they're whiners anyways!). believe me, he's super easy, just w/ long tests, but if ur fast, no prob. take him
Overall this professor is extremely good in teaching the subject. Yeah there's a lot of HW, and you have to write a paper, but that's there to help you. Trust me, it helps you a lot. Just make sure you know the material, and really study for the tests! I highly recommend this professor. Trust me.
Best math professor at Pace. Very nice and always willing to help. People who complain are just lazy and aren't capable of doing even minimal work.
nice guy, he definitely knows what he is teaching. Gives a decent amount of hw, but his tests are easy because he usually gives an almost identical practice test for hw..i hate math but i would take him again
he is very bad, he goes very qucik noone understand anything. after caoss he is not helpull at all
I really don't like this professor! He explains everything to the board, and not the students, and he's not helpful after class. He made me feel like an idiot because I told him I didn't understand a problem. The way he teaches is very fast, and he expects everyone to know everything after his super long 3 minute explanation. And he's very anal!
This is one of the best math professors in the school, and one of my favorites. He explains the work to you if you need help. His tests are easy, the SAME PROBLEMS he gives on the practice test for HW are the SAME PROBLEMS that are on the test. he just changes the numbers. All has an option of doing a paper, to drop lowest test grade. GREAT PROFF.
Good class- The work is not easy, but he is very clear in explanations, and does his best to make everyone understand.His tests are identical to the review - PAY ATTENTION or you will fall behind.I dont like that he hands out papers according to the grades recieved. I was usually in the "A" range, but it makes the people in the "C" range feel bad.
The BEST math professor at Pace. Dr. Miller is clear in his lectures and gives you practice tests that are like the actual test questions. If you do well on the take home part of the test and do the practice test then you'll get an A !!! TAKE HIMMM !!
not very easy but tells you exactly what he wants
i'm very up and down with him. at first i thought he was adorable, then hated him after he did not accept my take home, and now, i like him again. he gets so excited when he teaches and i just wanna hug him! but he's also a bit looney. overall, he's pretty great.
He's a good professor, but his tests are hard.
Very good professor. Exams are straight forward, just study practice exam that he gives out. He teaches a bit fast, but is always willing to answers questions.
Awesome math professor, he is the guy to take for business stats. The material can get confusing but he will gladly help you understand in class, outside of class he is not so helpful. Tests are straight forward. He takes it to heart when students do poorly.
mathmatician dude
Very good professor!Teaches only what's gonna come out for all tests.He's VERY clear with his teaching.You dont even need the textbook.Grade based on 3 tests,1 final.Gives out homework,which is optional whether or not you do it but very useful in scoring for tests.There's an extra class on top of the 4 hours.Attendance is not compulsry.
Hes very smart when it comes to math but rushed through the material which can become very difficult later on in the smester. And the math tutors teach you different ways which is very confusing.
If you dont get an A that means ur just a lazy ****. The man is a complete genius. Definately Take
recommended
Very nice professor. If you hate Math take him. He is a pleasure to take just because of his personality, and he'll make math bearable. He structures the class for students to pass and pass well. I recommend him. If you take your notes, do the hw problems he gives you, go to the computer lab...you know do your part, you should get an "A."
If you're not good in Math, AVOID. He's definitley very intelligent and knows his stuff. Rushes through work, makes you feel bad if you need to him to explain basics, and enjoys smirking ppls off. Intimidating but intelligent. Take a chance if you're willing to suffer. Otherwise, spare your GPA.
SO SO SO SO SOOOO Easy! If you do bad on final he'll count all the other tests as 80% and the final as 20%, or vice versa. Basically, even if you get like C+, you can get a B+, depending on how choose for him to split the percentages. Absolutely recommend him. Not the most interesting, but not torture either. Easy A!
Pretty simple- just stay awake in class, do the practice tests, and get an A. Looks likes he's having fun and it wasn't too painful for me either.
Great professor! He knows his stuff! You have to attend every class though to keep up with the material. You don't need the book, he gives practice tests that are the same problems on the test. I don't like his take-home tests that drive people crazy. They're extremely hard and you'll need someone in class to work with to get it done.
not an easy A at all by a long shot, if your not a math person be careful, thinks your an expert in math when you just walk in. tests are not the easiest in the world.once again if your not a math person, than think twice.
good luck to you if you take him not easy at all, these ratings are all wrong1 try to keep up if you think you can. only a nerd in math can, he doesnt even answeer questions jerk!
this guy is hell!!!! rushes through material would never explain anything, when you ask a question he looks at you funny, what are we paying you for jerk!!!
Yeah- tests weren't easy- but almost identical to practice tests. I learned a lot and didn't work like a dog and got an A
He is an Excellent professor who really teaches,and cares about his students. Thank God at least this Professor has standars.Do not take him unless you are a serious student. he really teaches,and teaches well
thinks everyone who walks into his class is a math genius. the ONLY good thing about his class is that you do not need a book...his hand writing is completely unreadable so good luck
hard class at times, freaks out when you dont know the answer, seriously, over all he was ok.PS. hated thath had to fo a math project, WTH
He is really good. Explains well. Do not take him if you are not serious about the subject matter.Exams are hard but fair. Really a good guy,and caring. I would def initly take him again.
I thought he was pretty easy. Gives practice tests based on notes and exams are like the practice. Got a decent grade without too much sweat.
An excellent Math Professor. Makes learning the materiel easy. A definite take. No textbook required.
Great professor. Does not check homework just make sure you study the review sheets. Got an A in this class just by showing up and studying the review sheets. Do not need the textbook, just take notes. All the tests are just like the review sheets just different numbers
Not a bad professor at all, but definitely not easy! Tests are hard and if you want to succeed make sure your studying and practicing a good week and a half ahead! But I really don't know how I got an A in the class. I thought I did soo poorly and I maybe have failed! But yeah definitely DO NOT but the textbook, don't need it at all! I didn't!
Great professor! He loves what he teaches and I've always disliked statistics but I finally understood it in his class. The tests are part take and part in class. Tests aren't super easy but he tries to give you as many points as possible for your work. Fair grader. No textbook. He didn't drag out the class and was always happy!
If you take his course online, I would really reccommend transfering out of it and into his actual class. His notes are extremely unclear and you are going to have to set up an individual appointment for him to clarify. Even though I did get an A it was only because I was also asking him for tutoring help.
The best math professor.He loves what he teaches & he's enthusiasm is contagious. Don’t expect to just plug numbers in a formula. Statistics is much more. U will walk out understanding why this is “the most important course you will take in college” Some tips are: read the lectures,do all HW,attend every class, don't interrupt him during the class.
Great Professor! Loves statistics and wants everyone to enjoy his class. Go to every class and study the notes he gives. Tests tackle on what you understand and interpret than regular math formulas. If you want an A definitely take him! Great math professor at Pace
The only problem I had with him was taking him 8 AM. He's a great math teacher, possibly the best in the department. His tests are not easy, not gonna lie. Study and you'll be fine. It's safe to say I understood everything he taught me. Great teacher! If you want to learn about statistics the right way then absolutely take him.
Do not take him , he gets mad when you ask him questions , rude , and he dnt help you, also he rushes through material, his useless lol. If i was you i would not take him. Only thing good about him is that his funny.
Because I take this course online it is difficult to ask for help from him. He does respond quickly however his supposedly more "in depth" explanations (and general notes) he gives you is never clear but goes on for paragraphs. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WILL GIVE YOU EASIER HOMEWORK THAN WHATS ON THE TEST. DO NOT TAKE
Don't do it to yourself. He makes dumb faces when you ask questions. He's the type of guy that just collects a check. He rushed through material and is rude.
Coming from a person who has got a A in every math class this class is extremely hard!!! Spend hours studying and still won't do will. You only do well if you know exactly what he's talking about when you walk into class. Beware!!!
Professor Miller is one of the best Statistics teachers at Pace. Do not take him if you are not a serious student. He explains very clearly and is very caring. If you can not handle a simple stat class. let's face it ,you do not belong at Pace.
This professor is so rude. Every time you get something wrong or ask him a questions, he will give a very rude comment. His explanations of the material is unclear, he writes many paragraphs of explanation but never gets to the point. Also, the homework that he gives is much easier then what is on the test. Don't take this class unless you have to.
Prof. Miller is a true statistician who teaches knowledge beyond text book. Gives real life example and clear explanation to help understand. Walk into class with a big smile and always there to help you. I understand everything he said and will never forget. Textbook not required. Exams are part take home and part in class. Highly Recommend!
Professor Miller teaches real statistics. He can easily break down the knowledge and give a clear explanation. What he covers in class will also be posted on BB which is definitely a plus when you miss something. His take home tests are somewhat annoying but they actually help you fully understand what he says in class when you finish. Recommend!
