Comment:

Lets put it this way. Theres a reason this guy isnt teaching A/P I lab anymore. Do NOT take his courses. He is rude, arrogant, yells, and puts the whole class down. All his tests are fill in the blank. Told the whole class you are all going to fail quiz 2 because its hard and everyone always fails it. Had to drop.

Comment:

Dr. Miller knows his stuff. He gives GREAT in class lectures. Also, be prepared to watch hours of lecture videos at home. (Can watch at 1.5 speed) His tests are hard and you WILL need to study. He has great study guides available in the syllabus. You have to put in the work for a good grade! Don't buy the required text book - never used it.

Comment:

I really enjoyed his class. His in-class lectures are great and he's very enthusiastic about the material. Be ready to watch hours of lecture videos at home though (which can get a little boring). I've never once touched the book since all of his exams and quizzes are based on the lectures so don't waste your money. Overall wonderful teacher.

Comment:

I had him for A/P I lab. Very vague and brief. Doesn't teach you're teaching yourself. Quizzes are fill in the blank 30 to 50 questions. Covering material very briefly and expects you to know. Doesn't care if you are struggling. Covered 30 pages of material in 5 minutes and expects you to do a quiz on it the next week. You are teaching yourself.

Dr. Miller was an excellent professor! His video lectures can run lengthy, but the information is clearly communicated. He has a great passion for the subject, which helped to keep me engaged throughout the lectures. You're awarded plenty of points throughout the semester, so even if you do poorly on something you can still catch up.

He honestly is the worst professor. I dropped his class because he is rude and sucks. Many others I know have dropped his class as well. Word of advice: DON'T DO IT.

Dr. Miller is by far one of the smartest professors I've met. Yes, he teaches a LOT of material (this is college after all), but he teaches thoroughly and his lecture notes and powerpoints are available to download. He tries to inspire critical thinking to process info better (so you get better grades) and is always willing to help. Def recommend!

We did not use the required textbook once, which seemed like a waste, and he gave ridiculous fill in the blank quizzes that always felt impossible. I would not recommend taking his class.

Comment:

Adam Miller is literally the best teacher I have ever had. His class may be tough, but I actually feel like I have learned more than I have in any of my other classes. He gives you everything you need to study and his lectures are very detail oriented. He gives you study guides and lectures notes, so unless you are lazy, you should be able do well.

Comment:

He seems smart and obviously likes Biology, but I hate this class with this instructor. His reputation is spot on. He's arrogant and will talk to you like you're stupid because you didn't do well. He doesn't even teach. He just hangs out with the same students while you are supposed to teach yourself. I'd rather take an online class.

He is very passionate about teaching and he wants you to do well and succeed. He fits a lot into lecture so definitely try and pay attention. He tells you the level of difficulty for each test. Tries to keep lecture interesting. Homework every week but nothing lengthy. Tests are 50mins and last 15mins of class is a light lecture. Easy to talk to.

Comment:

Of all the professors I have had, Adam Miller is the most passionate about what he teaches. I could listen to his lectures all day. The material is hard, but that's not his fault, and if you ask questions he's more than willing to answer them effectively and excitedly. He really makes class enjoyable.

Class was very entertaining. He is clearly passionate about his work. The only thing I disliked about the course was that he spent about two months on plants and left about two weeks for animals. The final exam is just old homework questions so save those

Dr. Miller is super knowledgeable about the information he teaches. Attending the lectures are really important because he says important info that you'll want for exams. Exams are tough! He's a tough grader and expects a lot from his students. Super funny. Loved having him.

Comment:

I have had Dr. Miller for all of my biology class and am hoping to have him for as many as i can. He is a tough grader but he gives you all the study information you need online so it is a little easier. His classes rquire a lot of work but you will walk away knowing everything and he is more than willing to meet and help you get your grade up.
