Comment:

Professor Miller is a solid professor. His grading criteria is clearly outlined. Test questions are often identical to those on assignments. If you are having trouble, however, Miller is approachable and easily accessible through his office hours. So long as you do the assignments and listen during lecture, an A is easily achievable.

If you are working, and are pressed for time this is not the class for you. I took this class during the summer and it was not easy. Quiz's ok, homework ok, test HARD! You are given a packet with different topics to read about and then you answer the questions. Study all the topics and all that you learned. I ended up dropping this class.

Comment:

One of the easier online classes I have taken. Only a few discussions which are based on your opinions on certain topics that I thought were interesting and informative and a few exams which are very easy to study for. Everything is spaced out which gives you more than enough time to get your work in.

Comment:

I don't recommend this class. There are 6 tests, no homework. He doesn't lecture to the test, so you have to analyze the assigned videos very closely for answers. There were handouts he even told us we didn't need to know, and then he put them word-for-word on the exams. I'm a 3.8 student, but I kept getting Cs on the tests, so I had to drop.

Comment:

His class is really easy. Just fill out all study guides and do all the lectures. Study them and the vocabulary and you should be fine. The discussions are easy, but some find it necessary to write full essays. There is no point in that, 6+ sentences is good.

This class was really easy and as long as you read the textbook and his study guides you can easily earn an A. He will kick you out if you are very late to class, talking or using phone in class but overall I enjoyed the class.

Comment:

I found political theory to be an extremely interesting class mainly due to professor Millers lectures. He explains in great detail and his lecture notes are exactly like the tests. Easy Grader. Class is graded on 4 tests consistent of 15 T/F 10 SA questions and an essay. You will have to read the book but if you do you will get an A.

Professor Millers Political Science class is simple and to the point which is a plus. I really enjoyed this class he is a great teacher and if you miss one of the handouts he is accessible through office hours. This class is an easy A as long as youre not late and do your work which is understandable.

I took his spring 8 week course and I loved the class. It was very interesting and the discussion topics were too. I had to email him a couple times and he always responded pretty quickly. I thought this was a great class, definitely recommend taking it with him.

Straight to the point type of Professor. He does not give you busy work. Quizzes and Tests have questions straight from the assignments. Good course.

I took the winter online late start course. Very straightforward, no final, two discussions and one 70 question test due every week. Easy to communicate with. I didn't buy the book and didn't go thru the lectures and passed with an 86%. If you're inclined to Politics, you'll do well.

I took the 4 week online summer course. I was very nervous at the beginning of the course because of the ratings from ratemyprofessor. I ended the class with an A and it was much easier than I had anticipated. Listen to the lectures and do the study guides for the tests. You'll pass no problem!

Comment:

This class is an easy A but if you actually want to learn then I don't recommend Professor Miller. One good thing about him is that he gives you tons of opportunities to get good grades (quizzes, tests, assignments). Other than that, if you read the textbook that's the only way you'll learn because he can't teach.

Comment:

Bad, awful, and clueless best describes this so called professor. Calls you out if you do something else while he lectures, and kicks you out if you arrive late to his class. His vocab quizzes and assignments are fairly easy though, so that should help you a lot. His tests are hard, so study a lot from the work you do, even though it'll hardly help

I took the online class and it was pretty good. He gives handouts online based on his lectures and the textbook which is super helpful in preparing for the tests. I definitely recommend it.

Comment:

Comparative politics was one of my favorite classes but I really recommend for majors who focus around political science. It goes more in depth than other poli sci classes which I love. You learn about a few countries and their political systems - you also have to do outside research on countries not discussed in lecture.

Miller is OKAY. You're basically on your own for his classes. you do the readings and study or you will not pass. I defiantly suggest filling out all the study guides that are on canvas.

this class was an easy A, but he's kind of an old timer and doesn't care much for teaching or giving students an education. test or quiz every single week, directly from the book. no final! he never spoke of material related to the subject once. he also puts trick questions which is bull because he doesn't teach. easy A, but i wouldnt recommend.

Comment:

Miller was the worst professor i have ever had so far. The exams are based on his own information in his head, so you spend hours studying the books because his notes and political exercises are absolutely useless for the exam. Im an A student and had to drop his class because I wouldve gotten a C, for nothing.
