Reviews of professor Luke Miller

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I really enjoyed how Luke formatted his lecture videos. They are short YouTube videos, usually no longer than 6-10 min long each. However, these videos often don't explain how to do all of the problems you will be tested on. There have also been times where the format for answers on a quiz were not given, resulting in being marked down.

Overall, decent professor. Likes to move through the material quickly. Quizzes every other week, homework completed online. Tests can be difficult as they are comprehensive and anything from previous chapters and CH151 are fair game. If you know your polyatomic ions and are comfortable with dimensional analysis, there shouldn't be any surprises.

Luke made Chemistry so easy to understand. He was always there to clear up any confusion and cared about his students education. I had heard horror stories when it came to Chemistry, Im so glad I got lucky and had Luke as my Professor!

Great teacher. Felt a bit bad that students wouldn't participate despite him trying hard to get them involved. Knows his material well. Grades things FAST and fair. Does not unfairly challenge you. Highly recommend him if you need this class as a prereq.

Really nice, laid-back, likable guy. Chemistry can be intimidating but he always took the time to make sure we understood & was patient when people didnt. Manageable homework load & do-able exams. Do your part and keep up on textbook readings! Lectures are meant to supplement your reading. When I slacked on my reading, I'd tend to get confused.

I took Chemistry once before and did not pass, was not expecting this to be an easy class but Dr. Luke makes chemistry fun and easy to understand. Super patient, goes over topics many times and very friendly and easy going guy. I got an A+ while taking 3 other science courses. Do not skip class, the lectures are the info needed to pass the exams.

Luke is a really cool guy so I hate to criticize, but I found his lectures very dry and disengaging. I often found his explanations of things I didn't understand very confusing and unclear. Seems like he doesn't know how to "dumb it down" for you! I spent a lot of time in tutoring. BUT he gives great practice exams which help a lot for test prep!

Approachable guy, terrible teacher. He's new so he might get better, but I'd avoid taking him for the next few years until he gets his footing. Answers students questions with vagueness and a lack of surety. Just reads straight from Powerpoints, isn't good at explaining concepts or how to approach problems. Everyone struggled in this class. Avoid.
