Great teacher overall. Stats is just hard in general. His test are not easy but as long as you go to class everyday and do all the homework and study you'll do great

Comment:

Brian Bradie is a kind man who clearly seems passionate about the subject. Hes probably the best math teacher/professor Ive ever had. My only complaint is sometimes he moves a little fast, not fully explaining things, but if you just ask him, it will be more clear. If you have to take 125, take it with Bradie.

Very good at explaining the material and about answering questions. Always gave a lot of examples, and hw was similar to the classwork. Tests were weighed heavy, but were pretty easy. Class is mainly graded through tests, homework, and attendance, so watch out for that.

Quizzes and tests are much harder than the practice problems he shows you in class. He does give a fair amount of partial credit though.

Comment:

Let me start by saying bradies class is NOT easy. However, I took him a second time because I loved his teaching so much. I really had to work hard to do well in his class but I learned soo much and he is a really kind and funny guy. Gave out cookies on the first day! He can be a little sarcastic though and embarrass you if you cross him

Dr. Bradie is the best math professor on campus. Although he makes you work for the grade, you will actually learn something from his class. He is easy to understand in class and gives a reasonable amount of homework.

Comment:

He's awful. DO NOT TAKE HIM!! His tests are extremely hard because he isn't specific on what he wants you to know. He is also an extremely hard grader. If you even round one decimal incorrectly it's points off. If you are taking this class to get an easy A don't. I have never hated a teacher so much in my life.

Comment:

Math for the Life Sciences with Bradie is a horrific class. I went in for help frequently, but was still clueless about the material and completing homework. As a biology major, this course was incredibly hard and I will now have to take precalc in order to graduate. Class moved too fast, especially when using the computers. DON'T take it!!

Comment:

I took MATH131 and let me just say that I took stats and precal back in high school and man, my grades were terrible (mostly because the guy was unapproachable and wasn't good at helping with questions). Dr. Bradie made math enjoyable and a breeze! Can't wait to take math with him again! Do the homework, write good notes. You'll pass.

He wrote his own textbook and is free for viewing. He is very knowledgeable and I wish I had him teach me for all of my math classes.

Professor Bradie is there to help you not fail you. His stats class was hard, but he was a solid and fair grader. Homework was assigned after every class but you had a few days to complete it. He was one of the best math teachers I've ever had, because he went over material throughly. Not an ease A, but definitely a great teacher.

Comment:

By far my favorite professor at CNU. Professor Bradie is an extremely good teacher who actually cares about his students. If you forget to do a homework or are just to lazy to do it, you can turn it in whenever for full credit. He believes in his students and makes everything very clear in his lectures and does plenty of examples.

He is supposed to be one of the better teachers but i don't see how. I had to beg for his help and he didn't help much. Didn't give us a formula sheet like most teachers. So over his class. I don't like the way he taught but others did so who knows.

Comment:

Professor Bradie is awesome. I am NOT a math person, but he made things that I hadn't done or seen in years extremely easy to understand! It's important to do all the hw and assignments on time, but he is always willing to help a student when they need it! Also, he wrote the textbook and put it online because he didn't want his students to buy one!

Comment:

Excellent instructor. Dedicated to helping you succeed. Plenty of office hours, and readily sees students outside of office hours. Assigns a fairly light homework load, but you had better know your trig (identities, half-angle formula, etc). Final exam was comprehensive, challenging, and fair. Definetly tested retention of material.

Comment:

Dr. Bradie is one of the greatest instructors I've had. He is very clear about the topics and explains everything in great detail. The material is not overly difficult if you attend class and pay attention. He usually takes the whole hour to explain a concept to be sure that everyone knows it. No one should struggle- he is always willing to help.

Professor Bradie is so helpful. He's extremely sweet and will take the time to help you understand anything. For his Math for the Life Sciences course, he wrote the book, so you don't have to buy it. It's not an easy course, but he does a great job teaching it. Not coming to class will leave you very behind.

Great professor! Moves very fast and you can not miss a day or you will be behind probably for the rest of the semester. He explains everything great even when the material is harder. Very willing to help. Would recommend
