Reviews of professor Elizabeth Miles

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
3 essays and 1 presentation. Easy weekly quizzes if you have good memory. Lecture videos reused from Summer '19 which would be ok but too high of expectations to not actually be teaching us. Always hunted for ways to take points off essays even when all criteria met. Pages and pages of weekly reading for no reason. ie: no discussion/not on quiz.

I had her for love and sex. Grades extremely harsh and looks to take points off for no reason. We had discussion posts, short answer quizzes, and 2 PowerPoints. I wouldn't take her again.

Miles Sensei is the coolest teacher I have ever taken. Her classes are fun and engaging and she is very passionate about Asia. She expects a lot from her students but she is MORE than willing to sit down and talk to you if you're struggling. Love her so much and will be taking her again. Also, she's very blunt. Not rude.

Sensei Miles is AMAZING. I took her for Asian Studies 1102 online and she is great. The work is easy, no hw, 4 quizzes with NO webcam, 2 essays, and a news presentation project(but that was easy). Her lectures arent boring and the subject is interesting. And she is very understanding and easy to reach out to. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

She is passionate about the subject. She can be rude though. She gives 2 essays and it always seemed like she was searching for reasons to take points off even when the paper meets the rubric. She also plays favorites. Will grade different students papers different based on how much she likes you.

Amazing class until you get to the final/midterm group project. She is not clear at all with what she wants and if you change what she didn't like on the midterm she will find new things wrong on the final. Throughout the course, you have a quiz every week which are pretty simple. Overall interesting class but hard final/midterm group project.

Professor Miles is a great instructor. I felt the class is pretty easy. A quiz every week (super easy, 2-3 questions over PowerPoints), and group project. No tests and no final! I didn't use the book, so I would hold off on buying the book.

Her class is organized, and is not too difficult if you pay attention. You have to take notes, and do outside readings. You will get a good grade if you do these things. She can be rude. She complained multiple times through the semester when students would ask questions or to go to a previous slide. She reads very quickly. tests/ 2 essays.
