about 5 small quizes, 5 writing assignments, 5 experiment, no exams, but a final experiment- which you have to think of, conduct, & write yourself! very tough grader on papers & doesn't let you make up the wrong stuff for points. He's nice but fairly difficult. I'd take him again but only b.c i'd hope i got the hang of it the 1st time.

I think it is his first year out of grad school but he is a good teacher. He really cares about his students and being sure that he is able to be understood. He does a lot of review, which is good, and almost always lets us out of class early. Tests are not too hard if you study. He lets you know what he expects. Take his class.

His lectures are helpful, he uses powerpoint, and he uses examples in class to make sure that you understand the material. Also, if you need help and you go to his office hours. He is very helpful and patient.

Best stats teacher ive ever had. just go to class, pay attention.drops lowest quiz grade, easy hw assignments, best test counts 35% worst counts 15. overall amazing teacher, previous people probs just blow at math.

The best stats teacher I've ever had. Willing to go through problems alot. Don't buy the book it's a waste he puts all of his lectures on BB. Adorable man and excellent teacher, I'll definitely take him again!

He's a really nice guy and he's always willing to go over the material until everyone understands it. The problem is, though, that he would spend half of the class just reviewing, which was really boring. His grading scale is very fair, though.

He is a very helpful man and I really liked him at first however i found his lectures to be all over the place. I got an A- in the class but thought it was tough and I had had stats before. Don't take him if your just taking it as a requirement for a program. You need to have a strong interest in stats!

i would absolutely take miura again for any class. dreaded 304 but learned a lot about stats and i can see myself applying it to my other psych classes in the future. after this class. weekly "pop" quizzes and HW keeps you SO on track that exam studying was a breeze. get out of class early a lot and very helpful!

Miura is a SUPER nice guy. i REALLY like him. HOWEVER...Cognitive Psyc was HARD. There are some pop quizzes but he warns you when you'll have them, some homework that's REALLY easy just for points and then 3 tests. Tests averages are low and i THINK at the end of semester he grades on a curve because I got an A in the class. Hard class. Great Prof.

VERY HARD CLASS- but Professor Miura is the man, VERY NICE GUY and cares about students. If you don't like to challenge yourself and you want to do the same old crap get out, if you want to learn something from a passionate dude then take this professor's cog lab. Great with returning e-mails as well.

Is he super hard? yes. Does this mean he doesn't genuinely care about his student's? NO! geeze, our generation is doomed... you guys want to get by doing the LEAST WORK POSSIBLE. The level of difficulty will prepare you for the real world, do yourself a favor and step up to the challenge. You don't get better by doing the same old easy crap.

He is so happy all the time. The material can be dry, but he tries to make it exciting. Very willing to help. I thought the tests could be kind of hard, but only because they covered a lot of material. It's not a breeze class, but you will actually learn something and actually take the time to do the work.

Prof. Miura is a great teacher. Mostly everything comes off of his PowerPoints, but still go to class because not everything is explained in them. He is very charismatic about the topic. The only thing is that his exams cover a lot of material, and you won't know your weighted grade until the very end of the semester. Not easy but a great class!

Prof. Miura has a really nice personality.Stats is not an easy subject, at least for me. 3 exams some homework and some surprise quizzes. He is always happy and always willing to help. I found it cute how he gets excited when you show him you get the material. I also had a huge crush on him =)

I was worried about stats, but the class was extremely easy and slow paced -- We spent a whole week talking about central tendencies. Maybe it's because I took stats 2 yrs ago in high school and vaguely remember the material, but I found this class to be easy. Others seemed to have difficulties, but I found that he simplified the material a lot

like seriously the most boring class ever. i attend every class and i was so tempted to not attend this one. cognition itself is so interesting but Miura literally just has an awful teaching style of completely shutting it down. i guarantee you if you like cognition you willnot like it after this class. just study from the studyguide u will do fine

Cog psych lab with professor Miura was awesome.He's extremely helpful and the assignments/quizzes are not hard-in fact they add points which boosts your grade. He makes sure you do quality work which could provide a good writing sample for grad school. I took his lecture and the lab is easier than that bc you do your own project. Highly recommended

Miura is very nice and helpful when you need help. His lectures are very dry and boring and the exams are actually really hard. He does give make up opportunities, very easy homework assignments, and quizzes. He's a really great guy he just needs to be a bit more clear of what he wants us to learn.

Dr. Miura is one of the sweetest teachers ever and is really funny. He really makes sure his students do well in his class. He is the cutest thing ever. I couldn't ask for a better teacher.

Professor Miura is very nice and he is very clear on what he wants. There were 3 open note quizzes, 3 papers, and one finial research paper. You do have to work hard in this class and it is required to attend but its worth it if you're a psych major and want to learn how to write properly.

Great professors. The class itself can be a bit dry and he does challenge you be does teach all the material you need. Offers a few small extra credit chances. Several pop quizzes. Just do your readings, pay attention in class and you will certainly do well and learn quite a bit. Be prepared for a bit of challenge though.

This class is definitely hard. He gives pop quizzes every once in a while, about every two weeks. The tests are very hard and specific. However, Miura himself is very friendly and he really is interested in the subject. He is very approachable. Reading the textbook is not necessary but would be beneficial if you do read it.

I loved his man! He is the sweetest teacher around and he is extremely willing to help you with his class material. You definitely need to read the textbook, take notes, retake notes and study some more. Some pop quizzes, three tests just like other psych classes. Hard but he makes it worth it!

Dr Miura is a great guy, and he really knows his stuff. He's not the best at teaching it, though. Class can DRAG on because he pretty much reads the material off a script he has in front of him. The exams are a lot harder than you'd expect, so study the ppts AND the book. He has pop quizzes of 5 questions each. If you're confused, GO TO HIS O.H.!!

Very friendly and approachable. He really knows his stuff, but then he seems expect you to become an instant expert; Asks a lot of specific and technical questions on tests. Class is not too exciting, and the class overall is not the easiest.

Great guy, but a dry class. Pay attention and read and you'll do fine.

Nice professor. Gives very easy homework assignments (nice grade boosters). Pop quizzes every so often (5 questions each) and 3 tests (multiple choice and short answer). Topics are kind of boring. I passed with an A and my suggestion is to type the PowerPoint lectures before the class and then just fill in details in class. Pain in butt but works!

Great class! He is super enthusiastic and is really helpful if needed. The tests are difficult but go to class, pay attention, read the book and you will do well.

grading scale is kinda strange. I got C on the first test but he counts your worst grade the least so I managed to pull an A cause I aced the final (i think he doubles your best grade). Cognitive psych isnt the most interesting subject, but go to class and definitely know the details of all the studies. not too bad just not super clear.hes so nice!

If you can do well in a bio or neuro class at Loyola, you can certainly get an A in this class! Super cool material! Textbook is not necessary but did clear up any questions left over from lecture. Tests are not difficult, just meticulously detailed, as lab experiments and data ought to be!

Makes learning stats easy. Tests mostly off lectures and ppts. Learn concepts and formulas to do well. Can be an easy A if you study and do the hw. Really prepares you conceptually. Memorizing formulas are simple if you pay attention during the first half of the semester. Tutoring and office visits help, too.

Pros: Very passionate about statistics and very helpful. He goes over each topic in depth and provides ample examples. Cons: Slow grader. He is anal about how he wants the homework turned in. Other: Don't really need textbook. Lectures posted online, but you need to go to class to understand them. He is so cute and neurotic . I recommend him.

I don't know what everyone else is talking about! Yes, the tests are difficult, and you have to really study. However, he weights exams so your lowest score is worth the least amount. Also, he gives really easy HW assignments, drops your lowest quiz score, and gives extra credit on the last exam. He boosts grades a lot. People complaining are lazy.

This class is hard, but an A is attainable. He's a nice guy who teaches you everything you need to know. You'll learn a lot. The tests are tough, so print the slides out before class, take good notes, make notecards for important concepts, and make an outline of all the studies. HW and quizzes will boost your grade, but be prepared to work hard.

I took him for Psych Stats and Cognitive Psych and got an A in both. He is an extremely helpful and kind professor. He wants you to succeed and will help you out in any way. Make sure you know the studies from the book and review his power points and you will do fine!

I took stats 103 prior to this class and got a C so I was pretty nervous going into this class, but I'm getting an A. He puts up slides prior to lecture, reviews concepts over and over until you get them and even if you don't he's always willing to see you during office hours. Also he weighs test by how well you did. 25, 20, 15%. Take him!

I have a super crush on Miura. Tests are based on class notes. Don't have to read text but it clarifies what you miss in lectures. Posts slides from lectures, but you have to show up to really understand. He's always willing to meet at office hours for further clarification. Do the work, son! If I wasn't taking 6 classes this would be an easy A.

Tests in this class are brutal, but Miura gives interesting lectures, and is great at breaking down concepts and further explaining them. While you definitely have to work hard for an A, taking this class with him is definitely worth it! If you do not study and pay attention, you will not pass.

Mr. M is so amazing. He is so helpful, i actually learned things. He give tons of extra credit. He is a kind soul. He doesn't allow speaking but always has something interesting to say. i would recommend him.

I have a crush on Dr. Miura! He is so smart and hilarious! He posts the lectures online but i learned the hard way that you MUST go to class in order to understand what he's talking about in the lectures. I usually take side notes with the powerpoints as he goes through it. He gives awesome examples so if you pay attention its a great class

Professor Miura is very interesting and you can learn a lot from his class. However, the class is not easy. There is a lot of work involved, exams are tough (remember all of the research back and forth), and the textbook does help. His office hours are open and he is always willing to help students! You just have to ask.

One of the best professors and classes I've ever had! Work is challenging, but Dr. Miura is fair and always available to help students. Dr. Miura spoon feeds very complex material. I am looking forward to taking more classes with Dr. Miura. If one doesn't do well in his class, one hasn't done the work.

Dr. Miura was my first psych professor. I'm in his cognitive lecture this semester, am enrolled next semester for his psyc stats class, and plan on taking his lab course next year. He loves what he does and is enthusiastic during lectures. He gives his students extra help to pass b/c he actually cares. Kind of slow to grade, but he makes up for it.

This class was required for my major. Dr. Miura made stats somewhat easy but when he grades homework and quizzes if you do not put exactly what was on powerpoints you wont get full credit. He does weight each test differently depending on how you did. Your lowest score gets weighted the lowest, highest score gets weighted the highest etc.

He's a tough grader and a little inconsistent. It's also tough to argue about your grade because his TA does everything and he trusts her. His lectures are fascinating and he has a way of spelling it out for you. However, his tests and quizzes are tough so be prepared to study and take notes. Miura himself is great, but his class isn't an easy A.

Cognitive is a fairly hard class, but it is completely possible to get an A in, IF YOU WORK HARD. There is a lot of material that he expects you to know for each exam, but the best way to do is to make A TON of flashcards. Start studying at least a week or two in advance and use his weekly learning guides to study, and you should be fine.

He's a nice guy and a very organized lecturer. He definitely makes sure everyone understands what we're learning before he moves on. Tests can be tricky since there are conceptual questions which is kind of hard considering it's a math class. Studying the powerpoints and making sure you understand concepts will get you an A.

he talks slowly but QUIETLY. his lecturesheavy, so I had to refer to the book. It helps 2 print slides out before class or take notes on your laptop. Also, DO THE WEEKLY REVIEWS The exams are OK- I studied so much and there were only 25-30 questions and then a few short responses. he's caring and funny-about 4 assignments which are pretty easy

You have to put work into his class, but that's what college is all about. Take notes on what he says off slide, study in advance for the tests, and you'll be fine. Quizzes and homework give your grade a boost. Gives great study guides every week that you should use while studying for the test. He always manages to make lectures interesting and fun

I think Dr. Miura is trying to improve his class. Yes, his grading can be confusing sometimes, he is very picky about answers on the conceptual questions. However, it really is not that bad. I've taken stats before and was very confused, but he helped me understand it.

There is a lot of information, but he works very hard to make it understandable. He uses examples for everything, and is clear in his lecturing. He will curve tests a bit, but they are on the shorter side. Know the studies he talks about. The best part with him is that he is very receptive to feedback and really wants to make his class doable.

Dr. Miuras class is fairly straightforward. Attend class, pay attention to lectures, look over the weekly reviews he provides, and you should be set. First test was easy, second one was a huge difficulty increase so be careful. Cool guy.

Lectures cover a ton of material, but they're pretty clearly organized. Helps if you're truly interested in the subject (for psycholinguistics and cognitive psych). 4 short papers and quizzes, 3 tests--test questions can be detailed, so learn the studies from his lectures! Overall, class had a medium level of difficulty.

Overall godd class. You learn about a lot of cool stuff you can apply to your life. But it isn't that easy, you're gonna have to study hard and memorize a lot of information, the majority of which won't show up on the 30 point test. The worst test is 15%, second best is 20%, best is 25%, if you do good on quizzes and homework first test is ditched

He is a wonderful teacher who cares so much about his students and their well-being. He goes over topics slowly and makes sure everyone understands before he moves on. If you read the textbook and take good notes, you will do fine on the tests and homework.

Dr. Miura is great. He tries to help everyone out with the way he weighs the grades and gives homework assignments and quizzes that make up 40% of the total grade. Lowest quiz is dropped, and if you memorize the notes, youll be fine for the exams. Keep up with the WLRs - they help so much!! Listen in class, because says what will be on the exam

Pretty solid professor--class is straightforward, curved grading and some short papers. Packs a lot of info into lectures, which makes the tests difficult to study for, but he's pretty easy to follow. Be sure to memorize the experiments mentioned in lecture for the tests. And don't get the textbook if you take good notes!

I personally loved having him for Psych 304, everything was made very clear during lectures and he goes over the problems specifically. His tests are kinda weird bc he focuses a lot on math during lecture but his tests have conceptual idea that need to be explained thoroughly in order to get credit. I recommend honestly

Dr. Miura, while being pretty lecture heavy, clearly knows a lot about the material and cares about his students' understanding of it. He also gives homework assignments that are pretty easy to get As on, which helps boost your grade, and is nice! STUDY FOR HIS TESTS!! They're directly out of his lectures, so if you study you should do well.

He takes a really difficult topic and makes it incredibly easy to understand.

Honestly, Professor Miura is a kind and knowledgeable professor. I personally just wasn't all that interested in the course topic itself but, the students in my class who actually were into the course topic I could tell enjoyed it. Overall, Miura is a good professor but the lectures were a bit dull for me.

Prof. Miura is probably the easiest teacher I've ever had. I had him online, so his lectures were incredibly boring. I probably missed half of the lectures (he didn't take attendance), but I just go back on Panopto and set the lecture to 2x speed and I'm fine. 0 quizzes, 4 homework assignments for the whole semester, 3 exams, including final. EZ

Professor Miura is alright. He is really passionate about his lectures. He mostly speaks for the whole class period. Theres 3 test & 3 hw papers thats all that goes in the gradebook.
