Caleb Miller is the best professor I have had at UCSB, he is extremely passionate about the material and inspires students to be as well. Lectures are super interesting if you do the readings and participate. Readings are standard for a ps course but are all interesting. Super cool guy too, very easy to talk to in office hours.
Professor Miller is an extremely thorough lecturer. He does a great job in relating the sometimes dry material into relevant situations that help you understand the readings. If you want to do well, READ! Participate in section, pay close attention to your TA's grading criteria. There are 3 papers and in-class quizzes at the beginning of lecture.
My favorite professor in my 4 years of college. It helps that I love the material he teaches, but he's excellent at clearly communicating difficult material, and so so nice. His classes are all structured the same generally 3 short (4pg) papers and daily quizzes (and section participation if the class has section). HIGHLY recommend Prof Miller!
Caleb is one of the best professors I've ever had at UCSB. One of the rare few in the political science department who genuinely cares about the material that he teaches and wants to make sure that everyone has the understanding that they need to get the most out of the class. Could not recommend him more as a professor.
Great class! Took political philosophy, Miller made it one of the best classes I've ever taken. Lecture not necessary, but would definitely go. Only 3 papers, overall great class
Professor Miller is extremely smart. He is very passionate about politics and philosophy and it shows in his lectures. He talks super fast but is receptive if you ask him to slow down. He does assign daily quizzes for the readings which can be kind of difficult but he picks good readings. All the readings he picks have a meaning no busy work.
