CollegeThe lectures are very boring but the professor is very passionate about stats! Focus hard on the language you use when writing on midterms and finals, the professor will mark you down if it's the wrong wording. R coding might scare you at first but it's just tedious. Make sure to complete all reviews, it'll help you a lot for the tests.
Professor Miller is an extremely caring professor and the class is easy to receive an A if you put in the work (which I did not, whoops). Lectures aren't mandatory and are dreadfully boring, but they go through many example problems to help grasp concepts. Sections only helped with homework but literally had zero correlation with lectures.
Professor Miller is amazing! The course is graded on ECoach journals, section participation, homework, two midterms, and a cumulative final. The lectures were engaging, but attendance isn't mandatory! Lectures are recorded and then posted on Canvas with all review w/s as well. I would say the class is very easy if you put in the effort!!
They are an amazing professor and they always make sure to keep lecture engaging to the students. They are really passionate about their work and they are AMAZING at explaining the little things!
Miller was great. They were super nice and good professor. they made the class super accessible, and really wanted their students to succeed. Two midterms and one final. some R assigments. section mandatory. Final can replace one of the midterm grades. mostly open response. They were great, would take again. very fair class and descriptive notes.
Professor Miller is an amazing professor who is always willing to help their students. They structure the class around the students needs and truly cares. I would definitely recommend taking their class because it is a fairly easy A as long as you complete the homework and look over the lecture slides.
