His bible class is pretty hard and requires hours of reading every night. Requires a typed page summary of every class. Tests are hard and cover way too much material.

His class required a lot of reading and a lot of studying. It was difficult, but I learned a lot. You cover soooo much material, but I thought it was interesting. Yes, there's a lot of outside of class work, but it keeps you prepared for the tests.

Class is not easy, daily journals require lots of time. Tests are not easy either. Just study hard and you can make an A.

Hard class lots of notes test straight from notes! Good teacher liked the class learned a lot! just a lot of work outside of class that takes up too much time!

in the beginning of the semester i hated this class, but i have come to enjoy it now. hes a nice man and if you pay attention in class and take good notes you will be fine. his tests are not hard. i currently have an A and dont bust my butt studying. pay attention and youre good to go.

Great prof. Easy to talk to, tests are VERY straightforward - just pay attention and take notes and you will be fine. TCU needs more profs like this one!

OMG! I love Dr. Miles! He is hands down the best teacher I've ever had! He gives you EXACTLY what you need to know for the tests and his class is very fun and interactive. Plus he tells jokes before every class and gives extra credit opportunities... even though you won't need them! Dr. Miles rocks!

He's a very nice guy and is always in a great mood, but if you're a Christian, you're most likely going to disagree with alot of the stuff he says and it will frustrate you. But if you study the study guides he gives, you're good to go. I wouldn't recommend this class.

This class is challenging, Dr. Miles makes wonderful study guides, if you know that material you can ace the tests, however there is A LOT to remember but it is possible, I think he is a good professor and he really helped me to understand the Bible on a different kind of level. I would recommend hi

His class can be frustrating because he goes against some of what the Bible says. If all your worried about is grades though, just complete and know the study guides he makes for each test. If you know those well there is no reason you can't make an A on every test.

I took this class for personal benefit. I learned WAY more than I expected, and not only was I pleased with Dr. Miles and the way he taught, he helped completely open me up to Christianity; I LOVE the way he teaches the Bible! Very non-biased and academic, as it SHOULD be taught at a university.

Miles is great. Test are simple, and his study guides make them easy. Takes a great approach to teaching the Bible. Doesn't mind playing with those who have a chip on their shoulder. For a laugh, ask him "Jacob White wants to know if you got the memo about class being cancled?"

He's a really great teacher, brought up stuff about the Bible I hadn't even thought about before. Don't think if you went to a religious school your whole life that this class will be easy, cause you do have to study and work hard but I really enjoyed it

dr miles is a great professor. i am a religion minor so im slighly bias but his class was my favorite of my freshman year. if you are taking understanding the bible, i would definantly recommend him over the other profs.

Johnny Miles is amazing! i loved every minute of his class. That man can bench 405 lbs!! He's a very good professor who is obviously very passionate about his work.

decent teacher, hard class. he laughs at everything he says, its a wierd creepy laugh. Joke of the day is never funny, but sometimes entertaining cause they suck so bad. He can bench press like 3000 lbs and he leads the NCAA in receiving yards with 963 and 12 touchdowns after two games, oh yeah hes a receiver for Louisville. YHWH

I thought Dr. Miles' class was extrememly easy! He tells these stupid "funny" jokes that always end up making you laugh at him...easy class as long as you study!

Don't listen to them, this class is VERY easy. . . he gives you a study guide and you actually fill it out and study it you'll do great!! He makes class fun and is very imformative, I made a B in the class I would recommend it!!

I loved Dr. Miles' class, it was extremely easy. He was very informative and helped me think about things I hadn't thought about before. Study guides are so easy and if you study them you'll do great! The essays can be hard just put time in them and actually think about them! This class is easy, interesting etc. I would recommend it to anyone!

Really nice guy- likes it if you talk to him outside of class and answers any questions you have. Gives extra credit opportunites, like FIVE POINTS added on to your final average just for not missing any class. Fill out the study guides before the day before the test so you can ask him any questions- then you know what you need to for the test.

Nice guy, makes going to class interesting.

he's a really nice guy. attendance is mandatory! if you go to class and take good notes, the tests shouldn't be that hard. the essay tho are a diff story. they're hard and you can't really prepare for them. if you've read the bible b4 u r not going to agree with some of the things he says...just blow it off, you won't be tested on it.

This is a great teacher..Yeah he does have corny jokes but fot the material he covers he does a good job

Nice guy, boring class. Annoying laugh! His tests are straight from the powerpoints and if you come to class and do atleast some of the readings you should be fine.

Oh Dr. Miles. His class is super boring but at least he cares...? He always tells jokes at the beginning of the class, but they aren't funny...they are those forwarded emails that your grandparents send you. He kinda sweats a lot....um yeah. His laugh makes me cringe, but he's okay. Creeper. But, he knows his information! Plays favorites.

Soooo much reading, really hard to keep up. Mostly in pdf format online and difficult to find. Random quizzes over the readings, and you can't see which questions you missed. Tests are fairly easy, straight from the review, but the summary and research papers were awful. I think he graded fairly, but gave unclear expectations. Boring, and not funny

You're in college now, it's not supposed to be easy. He is a good professor who expects 100% effort. Readily available outside of class for questions. Read everything (including his emails!) and take good notes! People complaining about his jokes: Really? You're complaining that a teacher tries to lighten up a class?

A lot of people don't like this teacher but I honestly didn't mind him at all. As long as you do the readings (i usually read 5 mins before class) and answer questions you'll get on his good side. The only text you'll use is the Bible. Tests are not bad...straight from the review. The paper at the end REALLY sucked but it's doable. He's helpful

He is a very nice and enthusiastic teachers. One of the more difficult classes I have taken. If you want to be challenged then take him. He made my religious understanding of the bible a ton better. Overall good guy though

Attend class, speak up, and take good notes and it's pretty easy. If you know the lecture notes for the test you will do great. Only 1 paper and it is relatively easy. He is also very enthusiastic to help for anything that you may need. Tries to add humor to class everyday

Dr. Miles is a good professor. He has his quirks, but his Bible class is a good one. If you have no Bible knowledge and are looking for an easy A, this class isn't for you. But if you're willing to work, with or without previous knowledge, you'll be fine and probably enjoy the class. His study guides are really useful.

I LOVED Dr. Miles! He is an extremley sweet person and his class was very enjoyable. I ended up getting an A which was very do-able but you have to keep up with the readings and put in some effort. GO TO CLASS. He takes attendance every day and it counts as extra credit at the end of the year. I definitley recommend this class.

Learned a lot in this class. Read and do the study guides and you will be fine! Go to class because he takes attendance. Lots of extra credit opportunities as well, so do them! He is helpful and quick to respond to emails so get to know him right away. Very personable so don't be afraid to ask for help! :) I would take him.

Dr. Miles is my favorite teacher I've had at TCU so far. The only book you need is the Bible, but that could be confusing since they're all slightly different. I would recommend doing the mythical dimension paper - it's the first one, so you get it done with way early in the semester, (it's also the easiest subject); Made an A :)

Dr. Miles is a great professor who is always willing to help his students. Everyday he starts out class with a joke or funny story. He takes attendance, and he offers a lot of extra credit opportunities. He always provides us with a study guide before a test. Just pay attention in class, take notes, and study and you should do really well.

Dr. Miles is great and very helpful. The only bad thing I have to say is that he doesn't give you a syllabus at the beginning of the semester with all assignments and due dates. Instead he sends out a weekly email of what is due that week. It's really inconvenient if you try to plan ahead. And caused me to forget and get zeros on some assignments

Dr. Miles is a kind professor. His tests are off of lecture, so make sure you go to class and take notes. My only issue in the class was the lack of rubric for the paper we had to write. Otherwise he is very clear and helpful.

I got an A in the class. I didn't put in a ton of effort. I made notecards based off of the study guides he gives, and studied an hour the night before the test. Definitely go to lectures and read for the online quizzes. Not too difficult of a class in my opinion. He got really annoyingslightly rude by the end of the semester though.

I took his World Religion- Communities class. Attendance wasn't too bad, you can miss up to 7 without being penalized . Miles is a nice person, but he has his limits. I'm pretty upset that I needed .12% more to have an A instead of an A-. I didn't find reading the textbook to be ABSOLUTELY necessary (except for quizzes), tests are lecture based.

Dr. Miles grades pretty tough. He does give study guides, but there is a lot of information you need to know for each test, and many students in my class complain about how hard it is. Many in my section have chosen to pass/fail it. He is approachable and will have a good conversation with you in office hours or after class if you initiate it.

I love Dr. Miles. He is just so hilarious, and fun! He makes the class so awesome no matter how boring the material may be. Expect group projects and the tests to be hard if you don't put time into studying. You will also have to do 2 reviews on religious sites, and he grades kind of tough on them. Overall, I loved the class though!

GREAT TEACH VERY NICE CLASS

Super quirky but great teacher! I wrote all of my papers in like 2 hours each. Not really an easy class but it wasn't hard either. I just took notes in class and I was fine!

Dr. Miles is a fantastic professor who makes learning about different religions fun and interesting. He is very interactive with his students and loves group discussions. Easy A if you come to class, pay attention, take good notes, and do the exam study guides before the test.

2018 -- Professor Miles is a really cool guy, he likes to have a fun time in class and makes the lectures enjoyable. You will need the textbook and the Bible. There are online quizzes and homework here and there but it's not bad. The tests are like the review. Its not a easy easy class but if you study you'll do fine

Phenomenal. However, I did notice grading based on participation and effort. Some things changed throughout the class and I would have liked things to be explained better, but he responds to questions in a timely manner. Ton of Bible reading so be sure to get one you comprehend. Participation, reading, and studying is key. Overall, great class.

Make sure you go to every class (automatic extra credit if you do) and study the study guides he gives you for tests! If you do those things you will do just fine. Overall, Dr. Miles is very qualified and is more than willing to help if you ask.

Dr. Miles makes the class fun and interesting. In my opinion, his Bible class is pretty easy. He has "Funday Fridays" where everyone has to say a joke, and then he says a typical dad joke. He also knew everyone's names the first day of class before you even met him. He's super nice and will like you if you participate and ask questions.

Dr. Miles was really fun to have as a religion professor. There is A LOT of reading, but you're going to find that in any religion class. He makes lectures fun and as long as you do the assignments and participate in class you'll do well. His study guides for the tests are also very helpful.

Assigns a lot of reading but it isn't very time consuming since they're short passages from the Bible. Only two tests and a final so make sure you're well prepared. He's very friendly and understanding and likes to have fun in class. There is also a lot of homework but it ties into what you are learning in the next class and the reading.

Important to actively listen to lectures in class in order to be successful. He is kind, but remember to check weekly emails and syllabus to stay on top of readings and heavy course load. Although there is no participation grade, he appreciates when you do. The homework load is heavy, and the quizzes/tests can be difficult if you haven't read

Don't get me wrong, this is a HARD class over the Bible, but if you're willing to put in the work by reading, studying for at least 5 hours for exams, and participating in this class, it IS possible to get a good grade. He grades harshly and exams are all based on lectures, but he pushes you to be a better student and Christian knowledge.
