Professor Miller is really into what she teaches. The class is way too much work for a 100 level class. Her midterm was very difficult. It was only writing and she does not provide enough time for the amount of work she wants shown. You should expect readings every class period. There are online quizzes and reflections every week. There was also a lengthily project. You have to be prepared for not an easy A.

Awesome
Doctor Miller is one of the smartest professors in University of San Diego. Her class consists of two midterms w/ MC, terms, paper and essay. She's always accessible outside of class if you have any questions. Participation is important in her class. However, even if you don't understand the material, she still makes your thoughts valid, creating a great learning atmosphere. Honestly, I miss her already.

Doctor Miller is the best teacher. She really wants you to succeed in her class. It's easy to reach her outside class as well. Just go to class and participate. And even if you don't totally understand the topic, just participate in the conversation in some way. There's also a paper, midterm and a final exam. But don't worry, she gives study guides for the exam and midterm.
