Dr. Miele has the ability to teach you without you realizing your learning. By keeping the stress level down with his humor,clarity, and willingness to help, he makes his students feel as though this is challenging but not impossible. He gives good advice on life/health issues as well. Maintains his students, not many drop. That says it all.

hes a great teacher tells you what you need to know to study for tests and what you should do to help yourself study. he is there to help you pass but most of the work is on you, you have to read the book and have some knowledge before going into the class in order to understand the lecture.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Dr. Miele is the type of professor that motivates his students to have confidence in themselves. I remember my first day of class was brutal. There were three other girls at my table that had some type of Chemistry/Biology background, and I knew absolutely nothing. Apparently, he saw something in me that I didn't see in myself. Thanks Dr. Miele!

Anatomy is not a walk on the beach kind of course, it's tough, a lot of reading, understanding and memorizing but Dr. Miele makes it fun and comprehensible. He truly cares for his students and he's very upfront with his exams. He wants to make sure your understanding the subject. He's very approachable and funny but, he's also extremely smart.

This class is going to take dedication, u will hve to study the material no matter whom you take this class with but Miele makes it easier on the students, doesn't test on as much material as others. However no extra credit opportunities, all homework is online and does not heavily affect your grade, & he only counts attendance for lab not lecture.

Professor Miele is hands down one of the best professors you will have the pleasure of having. He really takes the time to make sour you understand whats being taught especially in lab.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and WATCH HIS VIDEOS BEFORE you start class. Not only will you know his teaching style, but you are guaranteed an A if you watch and study the information on the videos. Miele is fair, but he wants to see you work for it also. Look up Atomic Med Videos, I wish I had before the class, it would have been so much easier!

Lightens coursework by giving no assignment other than to study because the material is already packed with content which helps out alot!

This professor definitely knows what hes doing and takes the time to explain the material, but often reassures a lot of students that they are doing fine and come to the end of the semester they really didnt do as fine as they thought. Dont count on him bumping up your final grades or giving extra credit. Read and study you shall be fine.

Hands down the BEST Anatomy Professor at CCRI. You understand the topic and hes not smog enough to think (like many professors at ccri) that you cant learn. It is very evident that others fail you knowing youll be back. Miele wants you to succeed!!

Ive never written a review on this before but i felt it necessary for this professor. If you're taking anatomy TAKE IT WITH MIELE! This guy is hilarious and doesn't waste your time learning stuff you'll never see in the field. He's a fair grader, wont bust your balls over spelling or small stuff. Homework is optional but highly encouraged.

Professor Miele is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He turned a very hard course to a very understandable one. Lab attendance is mandatory only. But I advise not to skip lecture or lab because its still a ton of info. I honestly recommend taking him because hes funny and really believes and cares for you.

Professor Miele made me love anatomy and he helped me believe in myself. His lectures made learning anatomy fun, which made it easier to study. This class is hard if you don't study enough. Miele is an A+ professor and I wouldn't recommend taking anatomy with anyone but him! Go to class and STUDY! You just gotta believe! The experience is magical.

The BEST professor you can take at ccri for anatomy. (i took this class with 2 other professors prior none were near as good as he was) His lectures are hilarious and in lab he explained everything to the point before you attacked the lab on your own. His exams are straight forward if you study the provided study guides.

Dr. Miele is the person to tak e A&P with! His notes are a little all over the place but he gives study guides for all his exams. Study whats on the study guide and youll do fine! In lab he goes over everything before you start. He also lets you use a index card for lab exams. Gives you extra credit chances too. Highly recommend him for A&P 1&2!

Would not recommend this professor. Doesnt care about you learning the material, just wants you to memorize it for a test that he will not give you the results of. Dont ask for extra credit either he will reply with a rude response. If you are looking to actually learn and not just memorize for an exam, choose a different professor!
