Comment:
My favourite professor at UMBC. Very lecture heavy, but he always makes them fun and interesting to listen to. The exams are super straight forward (just a bunch of multiple-choice questions), he always tells you exactly what's going to be on them, and he has practice tests for you to study.

He's okay. But more importantly, he releases practice quizzes that are not graded, BUT they helped me more than anything to do better on the tests. I wouldn't have gotten a B without those practice quizzes.

Comment:
I took geomorph and then fluvial with Dr. Miller. He goes above and beyond to make sure that you really understand the information. The course definitely requires you to work, but fluvial was my favorite class in GES. He's accessible outside of class and also willing to help with things outside of the course. I 100% recommend taking this.

Dr. Miller is a great professor, had him for 310 and then again for 400. He is lecture heavy and his classes are a bit harder, but I ended up learning the most from his classes. Def take fluvial morphology if you can, one of the best classes I've ever taken. Dr. Miller really cares about his students and does everything he can to help.

This class has intensely heavy exams, this past semester, for a whopping 75% of your grade. Studying for this class is straightforwards but just dense with information, so prepare to allocate plenty of hours outside of class.

Comment:
He's very intelligent, and I absolutely loved his Geomorphology class, but for some reason, Hydrology didn't really hold my interest. He did far too many derivations on the board and messed up halfway through, yet expected us to have a perfect grasp of the concepts. I wish he had made it more fun.

Professor Miller is very friendly and cares a ton about the subject. He uses clickers so come to class. If you pay attention or just read the textbook and study you will pass. Pay attention to the clicker questions, they will most likely show up on the exam. He moves very fast and gives lots of examples, but the slides are posted after every class

Class is very lecture heavy and class participation is a big portion of final grade. The class overall is more work heavy but it is all EASY. The online quizzes do not count towards your grade but DO THEM, most questions on tests will be pulled directly from them. Prof. Miller is amazing and really does what he can to help you succeed.

He is very smart but teaches the class like it's a 300 level instead of 100. The class moves very fast and has at minimum 100 slides a day. There was a lot of information given quickly. Online, non-graded quizzes help to prepare for tests. Clicker questions every day also help. Learning modules are hard but interesting. Grades are straightforward.

He knows what hes talking about. He's not a bad professor but his lectures can be a little dull to that point that it's hard to pay attention. During class he has clicker questions but once he uploads the slides the answers are not on the slides so it makes it hard when you do the online quizzes which are super long. exams are similar to the quiz.

Class works well with Science of Water if you take one after the other. Daily quizzes on clickers count for large portion of grade and serve as attendance tracker. Textbook is required but if you take notes at all lectures and do the optional study guides on blackboard you'll pass the daily quizzes and 3 tests.

Go to class, clicker points are a good percentage of your grade. Do the modules and get A's on them. They are tedious and time consuming but not difficult. The quizzes are your best friend, study them, every question, most of them will be on the exam. Read the textbook material for the clicker questions. If you do all of these, its an easy A.

Very responsible, knowledgeable, and carrying. The quizzes are very similar to the test. Lectures heavy but if you just study the slides, pay attention in class, it'll be easy. The material is interesting so it won't be hard. Will have to work harder for an A and not very hard for a B. I'd def recommend him.

Comment:
Professor Miller is an extremely knowledgeable and passionate professor. His lectures are pretty rapid fire but the practice quizzes he posts online are essentially the tests. There are clicker questions that you get graded on every class so attendance is necessary. Show up, pay a little attention, and do the practice quizzes and you'll pass.

Comment:
He is a good professor. He helps you if you ask for the help since its a huge class. His online quizzes look a lot like the exams so make sure you study the quizzes, they aren't for credit but help study for his exams. The class itself is pretty boring unless your really into geographical sciences. His class isn't hard as long as you put work in.

Comment:
Dr. Miller is passionate about what he does, but he doesn't seem to understand that not everyone in his 100-level classes are as interested in the subject as he is. He zooms through the lectures, so it's better to save your hand and just print the lectures off once he puts them on Blackboard. Take the practice tests; they don't hurt your grade.

A good professor that was clear in his lectures that were sometimes boring, sometimes interesting. Have to come to class, because lectures have clicker questions and are major part of your grade. No homework, except like 5 learning modules that can be done in 10 minutes. 3 Exams that are like the non-graded online quizzes he posts.

Dr. Miller is great! Make sure you go to class because he does incorporate clicker questions, that will impact your grade. He is very helpful and answers questions throughout class. If you go to class, take the online quizzes, and review the the course material theres no way you should get a grade less than a B!

Comment:
Patient, clear, helpful, approachable, and a passionate professor. Many people found this class boring, but that is because they had no interest in the subjects of matter. The exams are based upon ungraded practice quizzes. Easy to get an A, yet you can learn a lot. Miller is one of my favorite professors at UMBC thus far. Highly recommend.
