Reviews of professor Alea Miller

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Miller is a sweet lady and not a harsh grader. However, I found it difficult to know exactly what she was looking for in assignments, especially papers. The grades greatly fluctuated and the low grades impacted my grades a lot. Something as simple as the peer evaluation lowered my grade significantly.

Professor Miller is not a good teacher: her lectures are dull, her grading is vague, and it is hard to follow what she is trying to teach. Composition with her was one of the most frustrating classes I have ever taken; avoid it if you can.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Doesn't clearly communicate, often gives due dates which conflict with her syllabus.  Is really boring, and doesn't have a firm grasp on how to teach.

Professor Miller doesn't know what she is doing, to the point of being borderline incompetent.  Her grading was ambiguous and didn't follow the rubric, her lectures were dry and unnecessary, and she was apathetic if you passed or failed.  She's not a super hard professor, just really boring.  Don't take a class if she is the professor.

Terrible professor. Had to work my tail off to get a good grade, and she doesn't really teach you at all.  Turned what could've been a fun, interesting class into a boring hell.

Your participation & attendance is required for this course. This course consists of 4 papers. Prof. Miller is an easy grader, but it can be difficult to know what she is looking for in a some essays. There are heavy-loaded lectures, but as long as you listen for the most part, you should be fine!

Terrible professor.  Do not take.  Boring and sometimes doesn't even know what she is talking about.  Honestly the worst professor I have ever had.  Doesn't accurately convey grading criteria and rubric, and contradicts due dates on her syllabus regularly.  Take basically any other professor for Composition I, just not her.  Very lecture heavy too.

Professor Miller is very kind and understanding, taking time to listen to and care for her students. The papers will be hard if you don't listen to the lectures and put in the preliminary work. Even though you get a textbook, it isn't necessary if you listen to the lectures--but make sure to have it in class because of in-class reading!

Professor Miller taught this class very well and I would take another class with her again. However, the textbook was honestly really pointless.
