Professor Miller is awesome, I highly recommend taking their class. I had never taken a stats class and I found it so easy because everything on the exams was taught in lecture and on the hw. Just do your work (which is super manageable) and you'll be fine and get a lot out of the class.

the most boring professor I have ever experienced, they go so slow and have the most monotone voice. Never fell asleep in class until taking pstat5ls, easy but genuinely hell

Professor Miller truly cares about each of their students. The lecture material was explained very well, and the lectures were interesting and funny. Professor Miller is extremely passionate and does a very good job at keeping the lecture enjoyable. The class was not too difficult, and review sessions and practice exams were very helpful.

This is a teacher that cares. It's not a super difficult class but there's a decent amount of homework. They present the information very clearly in each lecture and prepare you well for the exams. Super friendly and helpful. The class material itself is a bit boring but they do what they can to make it an engaging learning experience.

I got a C+ and it was only becuase I didn't go to lecture as much as I should have. This class is extremely easy and passable if you study concurrently, literally you will only get an A if you go to class.
