Professor Miller was absolutely fantastic. Statistics can be very intimidating (especially when taking it online), but she was extremely helpful throughout the duration of the course. She offers review and lab help on campus, so when you need some extra clarity, those are great to go to and make a tremendous difference. Overall, she's great. :)

Participation is not necessary. Do your homework, follow the instructions for the labs, and use the study guides, and you'll get an A. During the tests, you can use a cheat sheet, which is very helpful, but don't wait until the last minute to study. She explains each chapter in different ways, so everyone can understand.

Miller may be all over the place at times but she's cool, if your cool with her. She tends to go with the flow. Encourages you to study and prepare yourself. Posts lectures online. During class she helps out a lot and asks for feedback from students as to what works what doesn't so everyone can learn the material.

This is a very difficult class to take online, but Ms. Miller work with us. She is very accomodating to students that work, and gave us plenty of extra credit opportunities. We only had to do some labs and a review of the final on campus, the rest was online. She always answered our questions clearly even if we asked several times.

Really awesome professor especially for an online class. Dr. Miller seems like she genuinely cares about her students and their futures. She gives a good amount of extra credit and her discussion boards are not too lengthy either and the quizzes are not too difficult. Final is a paper or test, you can chose which I though was really nice as well.

Professor Miller is pretty chill overall. Her directions are concise and, for the most part, the key terms sheets and powerpoints that she provides have all of the information you need to succeed. The only thing to be warned about is the fact that she is notoriously unresponsive over email and on the discussion boards. DO THE OPTIONAL HOMEWORK!!

As much as I liked the coursework, she was by far the most difficult teacher I've had. She doesn't respond to emails. It was common for Monday to come around and assignments were not posted in the Module. She also has a habit of posting the wrong assignment or posting late in the week. Makes online schooling hard.
