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.

This class was fairly easy. I STRONGLY encourage actually taking time on the weekly homework assignment, and making sure every problem is understood. Slides and recorded lectures are posted if you are not able to make it to lecture. Section attendance is required. Actual tests are not bad, just do practice test. Overall great professor who cares!
