Highly intelligent, you will learn in this class. Such a cute man, loves Italy, tells lame jokes but funny anyway! Lecture and Discussion were always interesting and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the class!

You'd have to be a madman not to take his course for the Honors Seminar. His jokes are really lame, but hey, it beats nothing. He plays dress-up for some lectures.

Loved his joviality and passion, but he often went off topic, especially when it came to Iraq.

Make sure you read the text. He clarifies the text in class. He is very funny and will talk about random things that are offtopic. Make sure to ask question -- he will answer them.

What a great guy! Loves what he does, and it comes through in his teaching. Can get off topic, but very fun to listen to. Need to know your stuff though!

Knows his philosophers. Dresses up for class, in costume sometimes. Goes off on tangents. Very liberal. Interesting and easy to follow lectures ... even if you haven't read. But read!

Miller's awesome. He's really fun and simply brilliant. He explains things very well.

too cute!!!!!

An extremely smart man. He does have favorites. Good essay grading, helpful comments and fair.

Do not listen to what the other people say. He is a very good teacher!

A very nice professor who cares about his students. I enjoyed taking him this semester for PHIL 120.

He's as smart as Emmanuel Levinas and as funny as Robin Williams.

Miller can actually make logic interesting. The analogies and stories he brings to class are a nice break from the everyday grind of this subject. He uses an online HW program that lets you resubmit your work until you are happy with the grade, a big help

only had him for hon101/102 lec and he seemed like a really nice person and his lectures were very interesting. Class is hard as hell but if ur (pre-med)/phil/theo/english/hist go for it kuz it will help out.Learn how 2 read fast quickly!!! Speed Reading!

Hugh is quite the smashing fellow. Very urban and proper. Class was tough, not for lazy people. I however am not the former and did well. You learn alot but you must work

He is very nice in person, but that said don't take his discussion: tangents, often political, no help at all with material. Socialist, pope-hater, very full of self, off the deep end in my opinion. Do not write anything other than what you know he wants to hear.

The man's a damned genius, and he always sets up online chats and study sessions, and if you want help from him, he's more than willing to put in extra effort to help you understand the material.

Discussions weren't always the most productive, but one thing you can learn from him is how to write. Grades harshly, but fairly- if you go and talk to him and really listen, he will help you. I would recommend being very committed to this class- you will learn more the more time you put in. A problem is he's busy so not always available

I really enjoyed his Honors discussion section. He's by far the best lecturer of the Honors professors and while the discussion is more of a second lecture based on what he personally thinks, he really knows his stuff. Despite what some say, he's a great guy and a fair grader who wants you to do well.

HUGH IS THE BEST! I loved him so much haha, hes so ridiculous! he was like making sex jokes for like 5 minutes it was SO awkward. The class was pretty cool cause everything is online so you can work together a little bit... or a lot. you MUST ATTEND CLASS! he teaches you everything but you have to be there to learn it.

not a hard class if you attend every class and take notes. you have to go to class or else your lost! his powerpoints are basic and he lectures way more than what the slide says. take notes on EVERYTHING he says. 3 essays, not hard if you took good notes. BECARFUL WITH GRAMMAR! he takes of 1% off every mistake! can turn an A paper into a B.

Good teacher. Good class. Not for the lazy. A lot of reading, involving rereading simply to understand. Gives enjoyable lectures and has very extensive power points but if you're willing to put in the work (which you should be), it is a great class with a great professor

Heavy reliance on books which are difficult to read through even with commentary. His lectures are very helpful, his power points are not. Extremely wise and knowledgeable man... overly pick about grammar mistakes. He's very nice and is willing to help outside of class!

Great teacher. Smart, funny, helpful and always willing to hear you out. Lectures are insightful and he is great about relating the material to students.

Philosophy confuses me. For all the people like me, Hugh Miller is the best teacher to learn ethics from. He explains the texts clearly in the lectures and if you still have problems, go to his office hours and he'll give you individual attention. He is wonderful. On the papers he does take up to 10 pt. off on grammar and he is a hard grader.

He's a pretty good teacher if you understand the material. I didn't get any of the material and I still managed a C. Theres 3 papers, 1 test, and a final. His grading system is awesome: I got a 54 on the test and it was a C. He's funny, and good.

Miller is amazing! He makes the subject interesting and comprehensible. He is a pretty harsh grader but he's reasonable. He has a wonderful personality and is very funny and understanding.

Dr. Miller is an excellent professor and truly cares about what he teaches. He also does an excellent job of explaining the texts -- I studied the same text under Dr. Miller and another professor and Dr. Miller's lectures are WORLDS better! Make sure your grammar is FLAWLESS in your papers and read the material and you'll get an A.

Great teacher. Philosophy is a tough subject but he not only knows what he's talking about, he's also super willing to help you out. Not the easiest class, okay, but if you want a passionate and approachable teacher, he's your guy.

I thought any philosophy class would be very difficult but he makes things easy to understand because he explains everything so much. just make sure you take a lot of notes and you'll do good with the 3 papers and midterm and final. I would definitely recommend this class to others!

Yes, the papers have to be grammatically flawless and the subject matter is difficult to understand. But he is a very intelligent professor and knows what he's talking about. He willingly help you out and reads over your papers before they're due (and gives you feedback). He's a nice guy who tries to add some jokes here and there!

Great teacher. Makes class interesting and is a very funny man. grading scale is amazing, all you need is an 80 to get an A-. I recommend this class to anyone who likes a good laugh and a good understand of ethics

Professor Miller could quite possible be the most interesting man alive. He travels the world, speaks several languages, and REALLY knows his Ethics! However, he understands that most kids only take the class for core, so he tries to keep it simple, which is very helpful. He won't let you record lectures, and attendance is very important.

Professor Miller is seriously the smartest professor out there. He has a PHD in Theoretical Physics and philosophy. Don't be dumb; show up for class. If you "dun know how ta right paperz" then do not take this class. I loved this class!

Favorite teacher so far. Course can be hard, goes very in-depth into the books with lectures/slides. I haven't read any of the books, yet I understand all of them. 3 papers and a test, though if you go over the slides, you should be fine. Makes jokes frequently that some kids might not get, but if you understand them, they're hilarious.

I am surprised that he does not have all 5's!!!! This teacher is amazing! Dr. Miller is so funny and charming. I wish I could take his intro course all over again.

Professor Miller is definitely one of the most interesting professors at Loyola! If you pay attention and take notes on what he actually says you will understand any and all of the books without even reading them. Although, he has is an extremely difficult grader BUT an 80% in his class is an A. I definitely recommend him as a teacher!

Ethics is a very difficult subject, but Miller really tries to explain it in a way that his students will understand. He tries to make it entertaining for everyone. The material was difficult at times and I believe lecture attendance is mandatory to listen and take notes. There are 3 essays, a midterm, and a final. Both exams are open book.

He is an awesome and very interesting professor. He makes difficult concepts more relatable and is always at his office hours, and if not he tells you far in advance. His expectations are high and the readings are difficult but if you go to class and pay attention you should be fine, & his grading scale is SUPER lenient.

I've taken him multiple times. I'll put it to you this way; if you like Philosophy and you are a major, you will find his insights into various philosophers very helpful. If you don't care about philosophy, look somewhere with easier grading.

Awesome professor! Engages you in the material. He's very energetic and enthusiastic about the material in a good way. Class requires diligence. Reading before class is a must. He's a hard grader, but makes up for it with his expanded grading scale. And he let me make up an exam that I slept through no questions asked...enough said. Take him!

He looks like Walter White. He's adorable and sensible. Lectures can get boring, but follow along and highlight passages he points out in his power points. Open book exams, but you NEED to text mark and know where things are. Very fair exams. Very fair grading system. Kind of tough on papers. I LOVED his class. Would definitely take again.

Really difficult grader. But he's also willing to help you if you go to his office hours. 10 pop quizzes two open book tests including final and two papers. He's interesting and a good lecture but he's difficult and he knows it.

Miller is a GREAT professor. I would retake his class in a heartbeat if I could. There was hardly a dull moment. He is eccentric and obviously loves philosophy. Still, making sure you know the readings thoroughly is a must. Take advantage of discussion to ask questions. Getting an A- is a bit hard but the class overall is well worth the work.

Hugh Miller is incredible. One of the most intelligent people I have ever met. I will take any class he teaches because of how interesting he makes it. All of his lectures make me think. Never had a boring day in his course.

Miller is a hard grader but a great teacher! Lectures are really thorough and informative. If you don't attend the lectures you really don't have a chance of passing. He's a really good public speaker.

Tough grader but his grade scale makes up for it. Three papers in total, but you have to be an exceptional writer and know what you are really talking about in order to get an A. He gives out a practice exam before the midterm and final, which is pretty much like the exam. Also make sure to read before the class because he gives out pop quizzes

Overall a very nice guy. Is a very humorous professor, which makes lectures relatively fun. Also provides a very nice grading scale which makes the class a lot easier than it should be. Definitely recommend him, however, you have to work for your grade.

Professor Miller is awesome! I had him for PHIL181 freshman year and I loved his class so much I ended up taking more philosophy classes & now I am a philosophy major. His lectures are always interesting & he is funny! Not an easy grader but a very fair grader and is always willing to help if you go to office hours.

Miller made Core Ethics as great as possible. Philosophy is tough to read, but Miller's lectures were thorough. He gives a lot of personal stories and makes himself very relatable to the class. He is more than willing to help you for each essay at his office hours. He also has a very relaxed grading system! Quizzes aren't hard if you use Sparknotes

He's an interesting professor, I'll give you that. His lectures go by fairly quickly. However, he has a tendency to input his political beliefs, which I find irritating in teachers. If you're willing to put in a lot of effort, you should get an A without any troubles. Three papers, two exams, pop quizzes. Drops the two lowest quizzes.

Hugh Miller is an insanely intelligent guy and it really shows in his lectures. He was a great professor to take and one of the best I've had at Loyola, I found myself learning a lot. He gives some surprise reading quizzes every once and awhile but drops the lowest two grades. There were three papers and one in class exam not including the final.

He is so knowledgeable and well spoken in his lectures. His class his one of the tougher PHIL classes; however, you're guaranteed to learn a lot. It's not an easy A, but he is a fair grader. He gives bi-weekly pop quizzes but they aren't a problem if you read and go to lecture. 3 essays, 1 in-class essay, and a final. Don't have to read everything.

I struggled with Philosophy but Miller made it a lot easier to understand. Either take good notes during lecture and highlight passages in your books from the powerpoints or read. Books necessary for quizzes (sparknotes can help), and open book exam. He makes a lot of jokes (most are funny). Very strict about his rules though (no phones or laptops)

Dr. Miller is a great guy. Class was entertaining and the material was manageable. Pop quizzes every week or so on the reading. Gives good feedback on writing. His grading scale was wonderful. Expressed his own political views, but in a comedic and tasteful way. Overall, a wonderful guy and a solid choice.

Professor Miller is a great guy. He is very smart and clearly knows what he is talking about. Some of his lectures can get a bit long but he is usually entertaining. If you are looking to really learn about ethics, take him! His course may not be a walk in the park, but it is not that difficult. Read the books, show up for class, and you'll be fine

How to get an A in this class 1 everythings on the powerpoints so just look at those 2 Go over quizzes (what you missed) 3 at least skim the readings (if not that, look up a quick wiki definition of the moral system you're on) 4 He likes a prose style of writing. (simple, short, clear.) 5. go to office hours (i never did but im sure they help

Im a STEM major & honestly the class was pretty easy. 2 papers, 1 midterm, 1 final, 10 pop quizzes(MC) &attendance for credit. To get an A on the papers go to his office hours, he literally tells you what to write (made the mistake of not going to office hours for paper 1). Pop quizzes: read the assigned pages. Exams are open book. highly recommend

He goes over the material during lectures and asks for questions at the beginning of class. Pop quizzes are rough, I didn't do too great on any of them but if you do well on papers (which if you go to office hours he tells you the answer if you come prepared). It takes work to get an A but it's not hard. I loved his class & recommend it to everyone

He is so hilarious and brilliant, he makes a boring class interesting with his jokes and examples. But Lord, he is the toughest grader ever. Would not recommend if this is your first philosophy class. Although an 84 is an A, you really have to work hard for a good grade.

87% A, 84% A- If you like philosophy this is a great class. You read the major works of Kant, Aristotle, Mill, de Beauvoir, and Nietzche. Quizzes aren't difficult. If you put in effort to understand what you're reading they're easy. Write clear and concise papers with solid logic and it's an easy A. You can do it! Don't fear philosophy.

This is an amazing prof. He is so smart and so funny, and really cares about his students. You have to work very hard and ready carefully, but it pays off and you feel like you learned something. he does pop quizzes but they are easy if you do the reading carefully. he is inspirational!

Miller's cool. His lectures make everything make sense so you MUST go to class! There isn't a lot of student engagement, mostly just him talking, but he's fun to listen to and is pretty entertaining. He gives out 12 reading quizzes throughout the semester, so go to class! He also gives out non-cumulative midterm and final and 3 5-page papers.

Fabulous! A bit intimidating at first, but has the sense of humor/energy/'joie de vivre' as Robin Williams/the intelligence/passion for teaching of Neil deGrasse Tyson. 3 papers total. 12 (5 question) quizzes on readings that are given randomly throughout the semester (drops the lowest 2.) If u participate/read/skim/make an effort u will be fine!
