She is a horrible professor and person. you blink and she is onto the next thing. does not explain things well. Had to drop and the dean does NOTHING. She is the WORST Professor

I was told to take Mcmillians class because it is an entry level course. I regret taking her class everyday. It is nearly impossible to get an A. Shes the type of teacher that reflects her grading on if she likes you or not. She is not understanding whatsoever and I never hear anything positive about her.. i also heard she writes her own reviews

I disagree with most of Professor M.s reviews. I had her last semester for algebra (not my cup of tea) but as long as you try in the class, she will work with you. She stayed after class countless times to help, also is quick responding to emails. If you want to just show up & pass, not for you, but if you actually care to try you can learn a lot.

Do NOT take her class. She doesn't explain anything & she is an awful teacher. The quizzes are nothing like the homework. She doesn't go over quizzes or homework in class so you don't know what you got wrong. I had to withdrawal from the class. She goes so fast; we were 2 chapters ahead of everyone. I highly advise you to not take her class!!
