I love how she's really funny and enjoy all her jokes and sarcastic remarks. Her lectures are awesome becuase she's so funny. She doesn't tell you what's on the tests at all, or give you any hints, so that's a huge reason why i don't like her teaching style. Not very much clarity, and the tests are hard. She seems like a perfectionist.

"Authoritarian" comes to mind. She starts the class off by announcing that the students are clueless for not realizing that they should now be quiet.

I absolutely LOVED taking this intro class with Susan Miller. Honestly, she's a bit intense when you first get to know her but she definitely grows on you. I found her to be hilarious! Attendance is mandatory as she does NOT post slides/grades online. Read to textbook in order to do well on the tests, but is an easy marker on papers. Great prof!

Susan is not a great prof. Intimidating at first, but overall funny and explains things well. High emphasis on participation, but beware; any comment you make could be met with intense criticism and mockery, all because she has a PH.D. and you don't. Tests a lot from the textbook, all multiple choice. Attend lectures and study and you'll be fine.

I must say for my first time attening UOM I wish I would have known about her. After getting into her class, people kept telling me shes awful. That your not lucky to walk out with a B or higher. The first day I could see she was a mean lady. I just wanted this course to end. Through out the course she has made me look stupid among my classmates.

Susan is my favourite prof. She tells great stories and is really engaging and funny. It's easy to pay attention and learn from her lectures! She encourages class discussion and is not afraid to challenge your input in front of your classmates, although participation is not for marks. She doesn't post slides online so make sure you take good notes.

Very nice prof but her tests are very hard not a easy A at all. Have to study hard from notes and textbook as she doesn't post her lecture slides and will test you on topic that's not covered in class but her lectures are very interesting and humorous.

Susan's lectyres are very straight forward and funny. She makes sure you understand all of the terms through hilarious personal anecdotes, class or small group discussions, and examples. Her instructions are clear and fair. The only issue I found with her was how occasionally her personal life interferes with her professionalism. Great prof overall

First the good. An easy A. Simply regurgitate, without thought, the class material. Don't think, it will just lower your grade. Now the bad. Very biased and bigoted. Numerous topics in class where easy to debunk by simple google search's. Don't ever question her or you will be ridiculed. Worse prof to date.

Tests were extremely specific and hard. Participation matters so make sure you speak up. However, 100% recommend the course. Thought-provoking.

Susan is a great prof, one of the best I've had so far. At first she will come off mean but she's just setting some ground rules for the term. She grades very fairly and reasonably, gives a clear understanding of assignment criteria. Test heavy, based on the textbook and stuff she says in class. Lectures are very fun! She is hilarious !

Susan was a wonderful professor. She inspired me to pursue sociology after the introductory class. She was a genuine instructor and had very entertaining lectures that pulled on her personal experiences of life. I frequently think of her lectures and recall the one of a kind individual she was.
