Never prepared and blamed his workload. I was unable to use the same excuse when I was writing a check to pay for the class. midterm exam was full of mistake which made answering the questions impossible.

Comment:

Dr.Miller was probably the most likable professor I've ever met. He cared about every student in his class and made it a priority to know everyone's name (a trait I've never seen in any other professor). It was unfortunate that I had him for such a cantankerous class that was ECE 0142. It is a shame he died at the relatively young age he did.

Pete Miller was the greatest professor I've had in 4 years at college. I had the pleasure of taking multiple classes with him, and would encourage everyone to do so if he was still with us today. RIP pete

Comment:

Pete Miller was a great man that recently passed away. He will be remembered forever by those that had him for his fun loving attitude and for how approachable he was. He was my only college professor at this point to learn every students name in a class. My thought and prayers are with him and his family

Comment:

He's a goofball, but he's a great professor. He has a knack for taking extremely confusing concepts and making them understandable. When you don't understand them, he will take the time to help you, both in and out of class. The homeworks can at times be long and hard, but they cement the ideas well. Will gladly take another of his classes!

Best teacher in the ECE dept by far. Awesomely random and corny jokes. Bipolar at times but that just makes class all the more hilarious. Definitely knows his material and is extremely helpful. All around awesome.

Comment:

Pete is a great guy. As a professor, he's there to help the students and explains the basics on interfacing. The interfacing labs, though, get very annoying and pointless. Class wasn't too bad though.

My favorite teacher this semester. He's funny in a corny way but teaches the material very well. IF you don't understand he comes and helps you until you do. Go to office hours too if you find yourself struggling. You will enjoy him!

This guy is HILARIOUS! Definitely one of the most entertaining/cool teachers I've ever had. But he's kind of a dork, which makes it funny.

Comment:

Pete is a very nice guy, I'll give him that. He is also concerned with his students. However, he was horrible at teaching this subject. When we did MatLab, he didn't know what was going on and we said, "OK, he'll be good with C." Wrong. He was virtually useless and graded tests based on the programs performance rather than the code written.

He does everything off of power point and is a good guy. But he gives way too much homework, and spends too much time on things that are not that important.

Good professor, fairly good lectures (though subject matter is boring).. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS. He is extremely helpful and will take as much time as needed to explain things to you. If you think he was too hard, you're an idiot for not going to his office.

Comment:

He's incredibly helpful. The topics gets boring, but he tries to make it a little better by throwing humor in the class. Homework is a bit lengthy. You end up writing about 10 pages worth of work. I'd recommend him, but DO THE HOMEWORK! The quizzes are insane. Tests are kind of tough. Very energetic

Great teacher. Makes classes great fun. Will always liven things up with an occasional nerdy joke. Open to students and helpful at office hours. Willing to even re-explain the covered stuff w/o putting you down. Some course material is outdated, and TA choices are usually mediocre.
