He knows his stuff. Go to class, read the book (or at least his notes) and don't be afraid to ask questions if you do not understand. He will take time to clarify anything you ask. The class is not terrible exciting but if you put in the work you will see the results.

Comment:
This was the most miserable class I have ever taken. The title is int'l cooperation and conflict resolution, but it should have been called game theory brought to you by 1970. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS unless you like matrices or care about anything that's happened post cold war, the last time he updated his notes.

He's a really great guy and genuinely wishes all his student well. If you take the time to let him know you don't understand, he will take the time to help you through. He's not the most entertaining and neither is he the one with the easiest grading scale. That have been said, he's definitely a person you can learn to respect.

Comment:
I highly recommend this class for someone who are interested in politics. He explains politics from a real life. As other students say, it is not a easy course, but as long as you stick with his lecture, you are ok. I am a international student so that I really got a trouble with his strict writing grade. However, I got A from class but tough.

Prof. Miller is kind. He's helpful as well. His class though is boring. His grading system is wack(good/bad-depends). Theres a lot of reading involved, i didnt read the book once, which i should have done, but i passed. I wouldnt take him again. One things for sure...the man definitely knows what he's teaching.

He is a nice professor. Very approachable & will help in any way for your own success. Really enjoys the material he teaches. There are many readings in the textbook but the other green packet is not needed. I recommend go to class because of powerpoints, notes & a few unannounced quizzes.

Professor Miller is a kind old man. Sometimes his lectures got a little bit boring, but he was very helpful and knowledgeable. An above average teacher for an entry level PoliSci class.

HE understands what's going on. I am not sure if the same can be said for anyone else in the class.

Comment:
This class is extremely well organized. All the course material was included in the course pack and posted on the website, so the text book was pretty much optional. The material is a little dry (read: extremely boring), but he has a sense of humor about some things.

He is a nice guy and can be very helpful if you don't understand. He posts all of the material online so going to class isn't always necessary. Listening to him is difficult at times, he pauses and says umm a lot but he knows the material that he teaches. His grading style is strange but helpful.

Comment:
Professor is a senior citizen but very smart, a Harvard graduate. He has an interesting grading scheme which can seem fair. The course is broken down into 3 multiple-choice exams, 2 take-home writing assignments, and a final. His rule is that if your final grade is higher than your average, your final exam grade will be your final letter-grade.

Comment:
it's true he can be boring espeacially as I had him at 9 in the morning but he was very knowledgable and more than fair in his grading. if you listen to him you may find yourself interested. it's also not really neccessary to go to all his classes since he posts his material verbatim online

Comment:
Though he can be boring (and risk of falling asleep is high), he really knows what he is talking about. He makes the material super clear. He's really smart, and he has an interesting accent to boot. For a 100 class, he was good, but I would expect in an upper-level class he's be more interesting if he had more class participation.

Comment:
While Dr. Miller can be very dry, and dare I say boring, he is clearly an expert in the field and has a wealth of knowledge to share. Fortunately everything was on power point so you could look at information at your own leasure. In class exams were structured simply, but he can be very particular in what he is looking for. I highly recommend.

Comment:
i hate his voice...puts me right to sleep... class is not too hard every frickin thing is on the powerpoints!!!! but he is way too anal about your answers in the bluebook--take home portion is much easier but still a bad grader besides that he was very nice and made an effort to help although it wasnt much help. If you have a choice, dont take him

Comment:
Its a required course, and He doesn't seem to have much leeway with what he teaches. He tries to make it understandable, since he knows he can't make it interesting. He honestly and completely seems to care about students, and will explain something as much as you need to understand it. Yes, he's boring, but give him a break.. Its a boring course.
