Comment:

If you actually want to learn, dont take her class. Lectures have nothing to do with the textbook. Her class consists of 4 exams based on the textbook. The lowest score gets dropped. She gives you some answers in the review session before the exam. Read the material diligently and you'll get an A. Not a hard class but not an easy A.

Comment:

DR MILLER IS SO SWEET AND SHE LOVES WHAT SHE DOES. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY, BUT THE CLASS IS SUPER EASY. THERE ISN'T ANY HW BUT I MUST ADVISE YOU TO MAKE A GOOD CHEAT SHEET WHICH IS ALLOWED. SHE GIVES OUT 4 TESTS AND DROPS THE LOWEST ONE. YOU DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT A MIDTERM OR FINAL. MAKE SURE YOUR ATTENDANCE IS GOOD! ITS A MUST.

Comment:

If you do your assigned reading and good cheat sheet for test, you will get a A. Bottom lines is that If you want to learn, then you must read the book and understand the material. Her exams may seem difficult if you don't know what to write on you cheat sheet.

Comment:

Dr Miller is actually very nice and very interesting. The kids that have a terrible time are the ones that don't show up and can only blame themselves for their grade. Material is a little dry sometimes but overall worth taking. People are too harsh on her teaching methods!

Comment:

teacher is easy. she allows 1pg of notes for tests (4 total, no midterm/final) and she drops the lowest test. she does test review before the day of the test. sometimes, she doesn't go over all the questions. she's REALLY BORING though. she never talks about the readings or anything related to socio. wouldn't really recommend her.

Comment:

I admit she is an easy A, but she's one of the most boring professors I've had in a long time and rarely stays on topic. Makes me question my major. I have also noticed she is very discriminatory and plays favorites. I would never take her again and I regret doing so. What's the point of an easy A if you learn nothing?

This teacher is SO boring, I don't remember her talking about sociology, EVER! Super easy A... easy boost to your GPA. Definitely take her to get rid of your Social Science G.E requirement, but WOW is she boring.

Easy A. Attendance Mandatory. No homework except test review. Pretty much just lectures and watch movies. Gives you the questions to the tests just need to find the answers. That is the only time you use your book. Highly recommend for easy A!

Comment:

never assume her class is easy tho she gives test review. sometimes she gave us 40 questions for the review and there will always be 50 questions for each test,how did u do with the other 10 question on the test? unless u memorize all the content for a test which was covered by 100 book pages,to get a B or C is easy,but an A is definitely difficult

Comment:

super easy. gives you "test review" sessions which are basically the entire tests beforehand, word for word, IN ORDER. plus she let's you have a page of notes so you shouldn't NOT get an A in this class. funny stories but they get repetitive

Comment:

Dr. Miller is the easiest! She gives you all the questions before the exam to look up in the book and then allows a full sheet of notes AND she curves the scores! She lectures about topics that apply to your life, especially with your family. Dr. Miller is really funny and the class is an easy A and she almost ran me over in the parking lot. CRAZY

Comment:

For those who dont know it's DOCTOR MILLER. She is a highly educated professor who has the education and wisdom to challenge any cry babies in regards to her teaching style. The exams are not difficult. Her class does require READING. This class is a INTRO to sociology. If you think you are too smart then why arent you at a university?
