Excellent Prof with great lectures. Cares about the students - review sessions, lots of office hours, answers questions in class. I wish he didn't have to trim back the material from past semesters - maybe too many students in the class. Looked forward to this class - seems like a good guy.

Professor millers class was incredibly disappointing. his teaching style and lectures were a confusing mess. The text book we have to purchase are the same textbooks he wrote over 10 years ago.. all he needs now is to post his audio book so I can bleed from my ears as at home too. Every weeknight and weekend for an entire semester.

One of the best Profs that I have had. Really knows his stuff and is able to put it in context so that it makes sense. Very interesting course. I wish he had covered more material like he has in previous classes, but I understand that many students seemed to be struggling. If you get a chance to take a course with him, you will really enjoy it!

Prof Miller really knows his stuff and is able to explain it really well. This course brought together material from throughout the curriculum and helped me be able to put things in perspective. He provides notes in advance of lectures, recordings of lectures, books, etc. Highly recommended.

I have gained more from this class than from any other course during my time as a CS major. This is the first time I've earned an 'A' in my major. The lectures were exceptionally clear and engaging. The course materials were perfectly structured. It was always a pleasure to attend class, and I truly feel I've made significant progress.

Knowledgable man with character but I'd say a 3.5/5 teacher. This sem was undergrad only, but still difficult. The content was alright; finding what to study was hard and it showed in exam1 avgs (he said it was the class' fault). 75% exam, 25% hw grades, some extra credit. He talks really slow = easy to zone out, but recorded lectures were great.

Really enjoyed the class. Pretty much self paced, doing our own projects of our own choosing to learn how to use clusters. Just a few presentations and participation in class. Really nice and low keyed, but I learned a real lot!

I see negative reviews before the final exam and final grades. It seems like they took a different class than I did. Lectures were great. Material trimmed way back to work with those of us in class this semester. Exams 100% predictable based on lectures and lecture notes and old exams. Bonus points given for those attending lecture. Great class!!

Try to avoid this class at all costs, especially if you value your GPA, because the reputation of this class is misleading. Russ Miller expects everything of you and not much of himself as an instructor - there is no clear way to prepare for exams or to solve problems, however you will be held to the highest standards when it comes to grading.

This is a great class, Dr. Miller was obviously grown in a lab to teach it. Asking lots of questions during lectures is encouraged; Dr. Miller makes sure to answer every question in great detail. Office hours always crush.

worst professor ive taken in my life. he acts super nice and is very likeable, but then the midterms have nothing to do with classes or hw (which you have to pay for and it goes to his pocket).the high scoer on rmp is super misleading. the midterm avg was 8/20 and he blamed us and gaslit us that we arent good enough.do yourself a favor. dont take

Prof Miller is the best Prof that I have had at UB. He really cares about the students, not just about the class, but about personal stuff. He goes over the material very carefully and explains things really well. He is willing to go over material more than once if students are struggling. Take him if you have the chance - I'm glad that I did!

Excellent teaching skills and knows the material thoroughly. Have to deeply understand the concepts, so prepare early for exams. Recorded lectures were fantastic as well because it helped get clarity about a lot of concepts.

Miller is the best Prof that I had at UB. Take him if you can. He did a great job - recorded lectures, posted PPTs, posted book, used zyBook for review material, weekly on-line quizzes, best 2 of 3 midterms. Really cared about students with all sorts of stuff going on during the semester.
