Reviews of professor Chris Miles

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Easy professor, tough exams because of online learning. An in-person class would definitely be more enjoyable. He was very approachable and nice. Nothing too bad.

Super nice professor and was very understanding of the online teaching format. Two midterms: one of them is oral for which he was extremely lenient with grading. A final project that allows you to apply the skills learned in class to real-world data. He is leaving for UC Irvine Fall 2021, but whoever's reading this I recommend his class!

Midterms matter, yet the midterms are completely unfair and hard. Mostly comprised of very hard multiple choice questions typically weighed greater than any other portion of the exam. For teaching he reads the book out loud. Dont have to attend lectures for a good grade just read the book and watch kahn academy. Seems like a good guy though.

Online definitely was a huge factor in this but the exams were intentionally completely unfair. Wed see simple problems in class as if it were a normal year and then be given extremely complex questions in order to prevent advanced programs from being able to calculate. unfair especially since there werent any resources for help. Dont recommend.

One the best math professors I have ever had at Courant. He responds to questions on Campuswire and cares about students. Lectures are awesome. If you spend time and effort, exams are a breeze.

Definitely take him! One oral midterm, one take-home midterm, one final project. Gradings are fair, and he gives useful feedback if you ask him questions about class contents or the project. Best professor in NYU math department.

Professor Miles is a great pick for Calc. Grading criteria are clear and lenient. Easily accessible via office hours, email, or Campuswire; clearly cares about his students' understanding of the material. Posts practice problems very similar to questions on the exams. Three midterms; each weighted low, reducing stress. Would take again for math!

Even though the course was done online, Chris did his best to help out students with difficulties or limitations(coming from the course being online). If you have a problem understanding what came up during the lecture or the problem set questions, try to take advantage of his office hours. Overall, one of the best mathematics professors Ive had!

it was really frustrating to get simple problems in class and way harder problems on midterms. nearly the whole class complained his problems were unreasonable and he didn't listen. he always says he wants to alleviate stress but he never did once. not the worst professor, but his midterms weren't fair at all. def wouldn't take again
