Was not the biggest fan of his teaching style. He did a lot of example problems which was nice to understand the material. Biggest reason for his grade is that he is super funny. A lot of people thought he was really mean which might be true but is hilarious to watch.Rate My Professors ↗
Moves through content quickly, class requires time outside lectures to review/re-learn material. He sends weekly emails that are very helpful, and provides a good amount of transparency on midterms and finals content.Rate My Professors ↗
Math 222 was a really difficult class, but I thought Joe was a good professor. He was prepared for every lecture and moved through the material at a fast but consistant pace. If you take good notes in class, you should be prepared for every exam. Joe isn't always the most friendly fella, but I think he does a good job of solidly teaching this classRate My Professors ↗
Math 222 was a hard class for me, but Joe did a pretty good job at helping me grasp concepts. Lectures are fast, but only to fit in the content, so get ready to pay attention. Not an overly friendly guy, but cracks jokes in class here and there.Rate My Professors ↗
This class honestly is not that hard at all, anyone complaining has never taken a real math class. Prof. Miller is not the best lecturer but if you attend every lecture you should be fine (lectures are not recorded). Tests are the same every year basically, and you are provided old tests, so if you take those you should be fine.Rate My Professors ↗
honestly he wasn't as bad as people are making him out to be. you dont even have to go to lectures and can essentially teach yourself on youtube. tests are easy and are basically the same every yearRate My Professors ↗
