I would recomend anyone to him. He really helps. His work is easy because his explanation is very clear. He will take the time out just to explain something that you do not understand. He tells you what to study for on the test the day before the test is given.

Grading criteria was extremely clear from the first day of class. Definitely make every effort to get to class on time, reviews for previous class is done in the first 5mins. Points reviewed are indicators of questions on tests. Cumulative final; all topics for the 80 questions will be given on first day of class. Study a bit and pay attention A

Professor Miranda is one of the best professors in KingsBorough.. He gives reviews , makes the class interesting, and he really wants everyone to do well. My suggestion is to come to class , attendance is important but what its college so i dont get how people could even complain about that. Anyways would take the professor again!!

Amazing professor. Highly recommended. Do not miss a class because his reviews make it impossible not to get an A/A+ on all exams. No need for the textbook, but I'd recommend it because it's useful for studying. He makes the class fun and you can tell he honestly loves what he does. I'm taking him again next semester. Do the Dazzle Me assignments.

Professor Miranda is a very good professor. You need to study hard in order to get a good grade. Tree tests 45 questions each plus final 80 questions plus assignments. I was doing good, got A, A-,A- on the tests plus I did all assignments but at the end he gave me B, which made me little upset. It was not fare but anyway take him.

It is absolutely impossible to fail this class, he makes it so that the grading is very clear, and gives you a ton of time to finish assignments. You can even hand in assignments early so you can change any mistakes. Overall, he was a great professor with good insight, my only complaint is that with him there is only one right answer - his.

Michael Miranda is by far my favorite professor in my college career. Show up on time, print out his notes and write notes on top of those notes and you'll be fine for the tests. He's an interesting speaker, very inspiring. He literally sets you up for success, you just have to earn it. 3 tests, one final. All multiple choice

Professor Miranda was born to teach psychology! He cares. He is inspiring. He is on your side. If a student is having difficulty he will meet them halfway, so long as there is effort on the part of the student. He is more than fair in that regard. He is an exceptional teacher. We need more Professors like him! :)
