Comment:

Dr. Miller is super passionate about what he teaches and thus gets really excited when he teaches. He has strong ideas but is always willing to engage and consider what a student has to say. He explains content well and is very knowledgable. Throughly enjoyed his class despite it being really long and early in the morning.

AWESOMEEEEE prof!!! Absolutely hilarious, makes class so much fun! Extremely useful and helpful outside of class too. Rels 131 has been the best course because of him. If you have miller for any course, you know you haven't gone wrong!

While I did not enjoy the class' panel discussions, the detail with which Professor Miller could describe Daoism was most impressive. Excellent instructor!

Comment:

Miller is my absolute favourite prof. He can be mean, he can be rude, he can be pretentious, but when he really likes something that you've done or he really thinks you're working hard he makes sure you know it. He's a fair marker, and he even makes it easy to get extra marks if you work hard. Love him!

Miller was awesome. Extremely engaging, witty, humerous and pretentious. His only bad quality is that he's pretentious, but the fact that he's pretentious makes him an awesome prof and quite hilarious. I'd take any class he teaches.

- Horrible evaluations - Dreadful 3 hour lectures that will put you straight to sleep - Unclear instructions for assignments - Not something you want to take as an elective - Professor is definetly not your average prof...funny but not someone I'd want again ! - Overall, my least favourite class !

Comment:

Prof. Miller is something else. He would get very giddy during lectures when he said something funny and then have a hardtime getting back on topic. This made him very endearing despite his obvious love for himself. He would also invite students out every Monday after class to a local bar. I found Miller to be strangly attractive.

Comment:

Has a keen knowledge of the subject, and for the most part entertaining. His character is overwhelming at times and tends to pervade throughout his lectures, which results in off-topic tangents. Tends to overstep personal boundaries and become offensive. Only available one day of the week.

Great. Funny, self-deprecating, and articulate. A bit befuddled sometimes, but it was easy to do well in his class without attending all that often.

I love the fact that he swears in class, I think it helps him connect with his students, however while his classes are interesting I don't like the way the break down. When he lecutres 1 day it is interesting but when he has another day devoted to discussion (and it ends up being the same ppl) it's not as interesting. Tutuorials were h**l,
