Great professor who genuinely cares about you. Be warned that she is extremely tough and grades hard, but it teaches you discipline. Grade is completely based on presentations and smaller writing assignments. Lots of groupwork!

Incredible Professor. I wish more professor at USC would be this good. I am an international student so public speaking is not my greatest strength but I got so much better after this class. Hard work definitely pays off. I recommend Prof Miles! Don't be threatened! she's actually a very caring person.

Miles is incredible. She is hard, but after taking her class I only wish all my other professors were this hard. This is what I consider REAL business education. She teaches so your successful in the business world, not so you can get an A. If you want to be challenged but actually learn- take Miles.+ Make an effort to get to know her in class.

The best professor I've had at USC. Attendance is mandatory but it makes you class into a small community and everyone gets to now each other. She gives the BEST advice on resumes, cover letters, interviews, and presentations.

Comment:

Great professor, really tough and you'll have to be in class every time...or at least almost every time, but you will learn so much. If you are really interested in developing your business skills Prof Miles is a must take. I've hated every communication/speech course I've taken and I found this course to be so fulfilling.

Comment:

"Tough Love." Professor miles cares more about her students than any other teacher I've had. She is very tough on her students because she wants them to succeed in the real world. Take her if you want to get the most out of your tuition, just don't expect an easy class

Comment:

Professor miles was one of the most worst professors I have ever had. Her grading standards are unreasonable and she regularly humiliates students. Although you will learn a lot, think twice before taking this professor

Comment:

I disagree with the earlier post. Miles is honest in critiques and really pushes you, but how else are you going to improve? It's the most valuable class I've taken in Marshall- she really improved my resume, my interview skills and my presentation skills. It's a challenging class, but take Miles so you'll get something out of it! It's real life

Comment:

Miles has a lot of valuable life experience to share and you WILL learn how to negotiate in this class. However, memos and negotiations alike can recieve criticism along the lines of, “This stinks!” with no actual suggestions on ways to improve. Her mean comments are often unprofessional, unwarrented, and unhelpful. Develop a thick skin.

She's a lot more laid back for this class than 497. It's a fun easy going class... We've been taught a lot of helpful things. She's grades kind of tuff, but it's for your own good.

Easy, but very unorganized. She wastes ALOT of time on very obvious material. She's a nice person, but don't take her class unless you are tolerant of scatter-brain types.

Comment:

The worst professor I've ever experienced. I wasted $3K on this class. Undergrads like her because she's an easy grader. Her class had no structure at all. She used it as her personal classified ad forum for renting out her apartment. And please, Donna - don't wear transparent shorts ever again.

donna dishes out a lot of reading. She's also strict but can be nice. I think she wastes too much time while the "class" corrects the quizes.

Comment:

At first, I thought Miles was going to be a mean instructor. But it turns out that she is a very helpful person...especially if you want a her to look over your resumes. She can get mad occasionally...but comical on other days.
