I think he is actually very lineant because out of the 14 quizzes you count at least 5 and at most 10. Plus, he ALWAYS curves his tests. For 3100 I got an A, now I took him again. He pulls out most of the tests from a database so if you study the book you are fine. I don't see why so many complain...

Has a quiz every week. Do the assigned problems before class, and you should do well on the quiz. Buy the study guide!

I would recommend this prof. Has a quiz every week covering the chapter that you have just studied. It's easy because everything is still fresh in your mind. He gives a chance to accumulate your grades during the entire semestr, so you can easily get an A. He always lets you finish your exam. I don't understand why so many complains...

I liked Mr. Millers teaching style. There are 12 weekly tests that are usually 10 multiple choice questions. You learn the material and then you immediately get a test. This helps keep everything fresh.

I can see how a lot of the negative comments come from the 3100 classes. If you are not interested in Finance I would steer clear. Though if ya like the stuff, and show interest, he's a great professor. A little dry at times but never boring. Financial Derivatives is not exactly strait forward, and he does a great job of interpreting the book 4 us!

took corporate in the summer. test every class period - total of 15 tests. you got to pick how many of those to count toward your grade (between 6 and 12) great teacher! loves finance! would definitely recommend him. rarely had to use the book. easy A or B.

I honestly have no Idea why people don't like Professor Miler. I am a Finance Major and, while I am particularly good at Finance, his class seemed enjoyable to a majority of the people I talked to. COLLEGE IS NOT EASY, if you expect it to be, go home. Its not for you. FINANCE IS A HARD MAJOR. Its probably not for you either. Profs won't baby you.

This guy really knows and cares about FIN. A very wise man. Like stressed previously, you must read the material prior to learning it and do well on the chptr tests from the get go. FIN is not for the lazy but if you apply yourself this is definitely the guy to take.

You have to work hard to learn the material outside of class. Once in class he will go over the material, and he has no problem going over things if you ask. I would take this proffesor again.

Awesome professor who really knows finance! Class is challenging but an A is definitely achievable if you go to all the classes and study the material. Grade comes from tests only and the final will replace one or two of your lowest test grades. He's got a very dry sense of humor that will lighten the mood. Only take him if you love finance!

I thought Prof. Miller was awesome. He gets straight to the point. He helped me get a way better understanding of Finance. Taking him again next semester.

Was hesitant on taking Professor Miller due to hearing about his teaching methods and how difficult class could be. However after taking him for statistics last semester I was pleasantly surprised. Professor Miller doesn't hold your hand through materials but he is open and helpful just ask! Attend all classes, study, and make a nice formula sheet!

Professor Miller is THE teacher for the derivatives class. He clearly shows you everything you need to know with the in-class handouts that he follows. 4 tests plus an option final. Tests are all multiple choice and he will grade 20 question tests out of 14-18 questions. ie. 16/20 100 on the test. Blank sheet front and back for notes on tests.

Great teacher! Hands down. Very easy going for such a hard class. If you need to take BStat, I suggest you get into his class

Great professor. No homework/quizzes. 5 tests + 1 final. Each test covering about 2 chapters and final is cumulative. Study his handouts, read necessary chapters, and work problems in the end of each section/chapter. DO NOT IGNORE DEFINITIONS. He allows cheat sheet, which is great. Work hard on 5 tests and u don't have to worry about your final.

Tom Miller is a GREAT professor. He has 7 grades, 6 tests, 1 participation grade that is worth a test so attendance is not mandatory but it can get you out of the final. Each test you get a full front and back cheat sheet and for the final, you can use all 5 sheets. Follow the handouts, don't buy the book unless you need the extra exercises.

I love him. He gives packets out for every chapter and if you take notes and listen to him you won't even need the book. He is slightly monotoned so it may be hard to completely pay attention, but if you're stuck he doesn't mind helping. Responds to emails quickly & only grades 4 tests. He honestly wants you to learn finance and not just math.

His lectures were good, but when we did practice problems he doesn't just give you the answer. He waits for you to come up with one. He wants some class engagement. This is to push you to learn for yourself, which is not for everyone. He does go over the problems and shows you the right way. Write all that down, because its helpful for his tests.

This was the easiest class I had. He allows you a cheat sheet front and back which made this class simple. He gives you notes nearly every lecture and his questions come straight from the notes packet. I retyped his notes packets as my cheat sheet and got an A in the class. As long as you can do the math and memorize the vocab, you'll do well.

I took this class at 8pm and missed so many classes. He gives only five grades which is five tests. Each test you can earn tons of extra credit points with homework. I got three 100s with minimal studying and barely going to class. The teacher is pretty funny and hes super nice and informative. Easy A.

I don't know how Tom Miller has bad reviews. I have taken him for two classes and they are extremely straight forward and passable. They are some of the easiest A's I have gotten in college because he does not make it harder than it needs to be. He teaches the material then tests you on the same stuff he taught. He also super sweet and pretty funny

I dont see why professor Miller has bad reviews. His classes are very straight forward and easy to pass. He responds to emails very fast and is always understanding to whatever issues you are having. I would definitely recommend taking his classes.

Professor Miller is a great professor. There are weekly quizzes, and you can make up to a 110 on them, and then there are 3 exams. He drops the lowest quiz and exam. The lectures and study guides are exactly like the quizzes and exams. I highly recommend taking him!!

I have taken Mr. Miller for multiple finance classes. His classes are extremely straightforward. On every single quiz and test, he gives extra questions so that even if you get a couple wrong, you still get a 100. As long as you do every quiz/test (4 non-cumulative tests & 1 quiz a week) you can get an A with little effort.

Easy A, A quiz every saturday and a test once a month or so. Would definitely take again, hes very sweet!

We have 10 easy quizzes, each 11 questions (10 and an extra credit). We have 3 total exams that have 32 questions (30 and 2 extra credit). Your lowest grade gets dropped. He is very kind and understanding!

I enjoyed this class. Easy A! Just take notes and study. The content of this class is very easy to understand versus other class.

He truly enjoys the subject he teaches and has a positive attitude. The lectures aren't the most interesting to a hyperactive teen, yet the content is easy and his assignments are open notes. Take the time to show up when you can, and do assignments on time.

Lectures were pretty boring and he just goes over a packet but the tests aren't too difficult. He mixes word problems (which we didn't go over) and math equations (easy) and you get a cheat sheet to write whatever you want down. He also curved every test by 25 points so it was very hard to make a bad grade in his class.

He's probably the most straightforward professor I've had at KSU thus far. He teaches you the material and then tests you on the exact same stuff. He lets you use a sheet of paper for notes front and back on each exam, the lowest one is dropped.

I've taken him for both econ 2300 and fin 3100. You're only graded on exams but he lets you use a note sheet front and back and curves all of them by 3-5 questions making it hard to do badly on them.

Professor Miller is an amazing teacher. He cares about his students and he makes sure everyone in class understands what's going on. There are only three exams and one final so make sure you pay attention and do well. As long as you show up to class, participate, and do the practice problems, you'll be fine!

EASY CLASS. Literally just consists of weekly quizzes and 3 exams, the last of which is your final but is just a normal chapter test. We actually finished early, no work for the last month. EVERYTHING is open note, says right in the syllabus. You should still study though, because some questions are pretty specific. Lectures are all pre-recorded.

He does a quiz over each chapter and spends about 3-4 days on it and then tests. it is a hard class, but he tries to make sure you know what is going on, also allows you a cheat sheet for each test.

The class/material are pretty hard so make sure to show up to the lectures. He goes over the content and makes it easy to understand. He also allows a cheat sheet on every exam, has a curve for almost all the exams and drops the lowest one at the end of the course! Just make sure to actually study for the exams and understand the content.

BY FAR THE EASIEST CLASS! Everything is provided for you and all you have to do is study, watch videos and take your quizzes. There's 3 exams and each module comes with a study guide question. At the end of the class your lowest quiz and exam grade gets dropped, so If you complete everything its an easy A.

Be prepared for the lectures and make sure you study the book, I end up using a tutor to help me since it was a online course, and with that additional understanding I was able to adjust to the class. Test are tough but very fair, the instructor is easy to communicate with and he is very understanding and quick to respond.

Great guy. Took him online and he worked well with understanding situations. His material is well covered and if you watch his lectures you won't even really have to read. Do take notes. You will have all lockdown browser quizzes but can use notes. Highly recommend.

Tom Miller is a great professor, old school! However, if you do not go to class, you will get lost! Only grades are exams, and he drops the lowest. He allows a full 8.5x11, front and back on all exams. Exams are NOT cumulative. Very easy A!!! The only thing online is grades and the textbook, which I didn't use and got 100's on the first 2 exams.

The professor's lectures can be a bit boring as he is basically reading from notes he puts on the overhead. There are four tests and the final. The final is not cumulative. One of the four tests can be dropped and the highest one counts double. There is 10% extra credit each test. He does not review prior to the test.

While attendance isn't mandatory he doesn't post the notes online so you have to show up. If you do miss any days you can collect the notes though so it's not too bad. You're only graded on tests but if you show up to class most of the time the tests are easy. He lets you use a full page of notes on the test and his lectures are very easy to follow
