Comment:

Professor Miller was all over the place. She would spend an entire class period giving us the background history of an author, and then that author would be in only one question on the test. She loves to be tricky, and if you ask a stupid question then get ready to be made fun of.

Comment:

Professor Miller's class was an EXPERIENCE. She's a sassy old lady, and you have to get used to her sarcasm. Learned so much from her, though, and I don't think you'll find someone else who knows more about literature. It's not an easy A, you have to study quite a bit for tests, she doesn't use BB, but pretty interesting overall.

Comment:

Miller is a decent professor. The class is fairly laid-back, and she expects you to read everything when she tells you too. The tests aren't too bad, as long as you study, and there are opportunities for extra credit. Can be sassy at times, and unclear at others, but is generally a good professor.

Comment:

Dr. Miller's syllabus does include the required readings, however, there are no actual dates for when they should be done, which irritated me to no end all year. She never really makes it clear when things are due, and is very rude to students who ask questions about anything. I wouldn't take her again.

Comment:

Miller offers lots of extra credit opportunities which is very helpful. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to understand exactly what she wants for assignments and to know when they are due. Be prepared to ask questions for clarity. Overall, she is an interesting albeit confusing professor who likes to have fun and joke in her classroom.

Comment:

Dr. Miller is highly experienced and does a good job. She is an old lady, very nice and funny, and she makes the class interesting and not overly difficult. She doesn't use blackboard which is annoying, but otherwise a very good professor

Comment:

She is an interesting lady, to be sure, but she veers off topic in class. Pretty much have no idea exactly what will be on the test - or what your final grade is until the end of the semester. She does give extra credit, though.

Is an okay teacher, but I'm not an English Major. Her classes are very demanding and require an English-Styled person in order to be helpful.

Comment:

A brilliant human being who refined my love and understanding of language. A mentor, she steered me in a direction of writing and teaching. She's an old lady, but I've seen picture of her from the seventies, she was hot then, and in a weird way, she's hot now.

Comment:

this class was a waste of time, bring something to keep busy. dont know your grade in the class til the end when your final manuscript is graded. has her own preconceived ideas of what makes a great writer and if you dont fit them you are in trouble. deadlines mean nothing,they always change. can never hear what she says. overuses 'Trite'&'Prosy'

You only wish you'll be as badass as M.E. Miller when you're 60-something years old.

Comment:

She's an excellent teacher and is very funny. She has a very good personality. Sometimes the lectures get boring but that's expected in English. She handles her students very well, the ones who come in late.
