Reviews of professor Robert Miller

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
My only B of college came in a lab. This review is pointless since you don't pick your professor. This lab is not based on intelligence or skill but your grade can be defined by whether you can focus a microscope. He is very condescending in emails and doesn't have his students' best interest in mind. Prepare yourself if you have to take micro lab.

Not sure why his ratings are so high. The class is structured so that it requires the attention and study time of a lecture class. As a straight A student my entire life, this is my first B on my college transcript. He's awful. Exams are SO needlessly difficult. Safe yourself and take microbiology lab ANYWHERE else.

He was not the worst, but definitely not the best. Tests are hard, but lab quizzes are extremely hard. It is ridiculous how much he expects you to do for a lab when the lecture class should be majority of your focus. Get ready to study an insane amount for the midterm and final.

This lab is the hardest and most unfair lab I have taken in my college career. The pre-lab quizzes and exams are so ridiculously niche in that you have to have every single word of the pre lab (usually multiple pages of detailed info) memorized or you won't do good. For a ONE credit hour course, there is no reason why it should be this difficult.

Dr. Miller is very sweet! He encourages questions and is very willing to help/accessible outside of class. The pre-class quizzes are difficult but just make sure you read the lab handout before.

The blueprint for a jaded, angry, power tripping professor who has lost compassion for his students. Realizing this about him was truly a disappointment. I was very excited to learn from him.

Midterm and final are 50% of grade. I got a 95+ on everything else, but a B overall.  Before each class, you are expected to read 10-15 pages, which you will be quizzed on. I am a very good test taker (I got a 36 on the ACT), but these exams are impossible. If you have to take this lab, good luck. You'll need it.
