Reviews of professor Robert Miller

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He shouldn't be teaching an intro class but an advanced one. He wasn't even supposed to be my professor this semester. He doesn't explain the assignments well, teaches as if we are already supposed to know everything, and he's a tough grader. The only thing I like about him is that the exams are take home and open book.

The Unknown Report at the end of the semester is a total mess with the student likely having to come in every day for 2 weeks to get their tests done.  His midterm and final are incredibly specific.  I can comfortably say that his tests are the hardest at Auburn, and I made a high A in both OChems.  This might be my first B in college.

This is definitely the hardest and most time-consuming lab. I would read the weekly packet 3 days out to prepare for the quiz- made 10/10 on all. Midterm and final exams are very difficult. Streak plate grading is unfair to me- automatic points off if the bacteria does not grow in the third and fourth quadrants. Gram staining, unknown report too.

The two test are 50 percent of your grade and are impossible questions that are meant to trick you. My first B at Auburn.

Hated this lab with every fiber of my being. 50% of your grade comes from your midterm and final exam and they are both extremely hard. I have not gotten lower than a B in a lab and I got a D in this one. I studied very hard and received A's on all my lab assignments and practicums but because of his exams none of the lab grades matter.

The only other C I've recieved was in Thermodynamics... this man is king of tricky questions. Why is it always the one credit hour profs that take their jobs a little too seriously? Dont get me started on the horribly organized two week unknown report.

This lab itself is pretty interesting, but not an easy A. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE LAB QUIZZES. MIdterm and final practicals, and technique checks. Gives pretty much no bonus points. You need to study for practical exams as they are very difficult. You also need to prepare and study for the lab quizzes, they will affect your grade alot.

This professor is very accessible outside of the course and sends you about 2-3 emails a week with reminders. In that respect, he is helpful but the structure of this class is terrible. 2 exams that are 50% of your grade that are VERY difficult. Gave us 2 points on our final exam and acted like we were given ample opportunities for bonus. DONT TAKE

The most fun lab!! I thought Miller's micro lab was well organized, and all of the TAs were incredible. I learned a lot in this lab. There are few grades that are weighted heavily, so you really need to do well on all the exams and practicums. Other than that, I have no complaints! Take bio 3201 it's the best!!
