Comment:

Lecturers were very well done, though a bit slow. The 1st textbook was good, but the others were difficult to skim. Homework was excessive, and the projects were very difficult. Had to prepare for the speed quizzes and tests were OK though they needed more time to finish than was given. Could reduce work and still learn as much.

Comment:

His attitude regarding students' mental well-being was completely pitiful. Exams and projects had to have pushed AT LEAST 20% of the class into a nervous breakdown. Worst class experience. EVER. He did, however pick an excellent materials book. It was the only saving grace in the end.

Stubborn! Not willing to accept that not everyone wants what he wants. Class is ok if you can stay awake.

If you want to work hard, he's good. If now, he'll go hardcore Holly on you and you'll wish you were never born (he once ripped a phone book in half). For the elite student, he's on your side. For the mediocre, he'll try to help you out but in the end h

Comment:

Terrible professor. Does not have a command of the material and this shows through his tests and hw problems. You will not learn much if you take his class. You will probably hate him after you take the class ... unless you're a football player/dipshit.

Comment:

Bonus points if you're an athlete. It is likely that he might give you some leeway in grading if you're a varsity athlete bordering on failing the class which contradicts his "fair grading" image.

You're either in or out. If you're in, it's okay. If you're out, you're up****'s creek without a paddle.

His achievements aside, this man is a possible ****, definitely cold hearted, definitely suppressive and absolutely the scummiest of all possible scum bags.

Comment:

I slacked off, didn't do homework, and basically bombed his class. He gave me the chance to do a bit of extra credit work at the end to save a passing grade so I could stick with the major. That gets helpfulness points in my book.

Comment:

He's a good teacher, no doubt - he can explain the topics clearly and I did learn a lot - but he pushes the class too hard. Not a good idea to give a project due on the day of the final exam, IMO...

Consider it done (flaming bag of dog poo). It should be against some kind of rule to assign a final projecet and have a final due on the same day. Just an unpleasant experience.

Comment:

People who don't like Miller are basically of one type: humorless idiots who can't face up to the fact they're not as good as they thought they were. He runs a tight ship and is brutal with the humor, but he actually cares about his students and is as fair as they come. Long live Miller!

Comment:

Great prof and person, always entertaining. However, as a warning, his class (212) is a weed-out class for MAE, so he is a tough grader. On the other hand, I did learn more in his class than any other engineering class I have taken

Stop dwelling on your football years, fool. I guess I just wasn't interested in the course material either. But I REALLY hated the lecture he gave where he classified the types of MechEs... wow.
