This is an English class, so there are a lot of papers, but Dr. Bradshaw is very understanding. Many times he would extend due dates when he knew we were stressed out. I loved this class and would definitely take him again.

Comment:

Lots of assigned readings that I rarely even looked at outside of class. Grades came from two papers, a midterm and final. The papers were simple enough, but he does take awhile to get them all graded. The midterm was all multiple choice. The final was half multiple choice and half essay but he allowed us to bring an index card with notes.

Bradshaw is a great professor. There are a few assigned reading that you are expected to have read for class discussion, but nothing to dense. He is very helpful in the writing process and breaks it down for you. He is very laid back and easy going. Its genuinely hard to fail this class

He gives out casual, but nice lessons over what's assigned on. He also gives out good advice when it comes to papers, so make sure to visit his office hours to have him look over it with you! If you read up on what's assigned and keep up with the assignments, you'll most likely pass his class. Just don't expect your graded papers back anytime soon.

Comment:

There are readings you have to do before every class and during class you discuss the readings. Sometimes there is a pop quiz on a reading and there is no way to predict when he will give a quiz unless he tells you. Only did 3 papers and they were relatively easy unless you waited until the night before. He does take a while to return graded papers

Dr. Bradshaw is one of those professors you take and then wish he taught every class for your major. The class is just very well balanced, and his attitude is perfect. Couldn't ask for more.

Dr. Bradshaw is an amazing professor who is full of knowledge and knows how to present it in a clear and concise way. I have taken three courses with him and I loved them all. His class is easy if you work hard, participate, and use office hours o your advantage. I highly recommend taking him any chance you have!

Comment:

He's a fiend for early American Literature! I'd read some of it before, but a lot of it was new and definitely more interesting than the survey classes would have you believe. Class was hilarious. He likes original thought.

Best online class I've had at UTM. Answered all my emails the same day and was really helpful. His lectures were good. Readings were long but interesting. Lots of comments on papers and really good about working with my deadlines.

He doesn't grade anything on time. Don't expect anything back before the end of the semester and your final grade will never get posted.

He is a really nice professor. He is very lenient when it comes to turning things in. Class is usually not mandatory. One of my favorite professors. Just don't expect your papers back very soon or sometimes at all.

Dr. Bradshaw is really funny in a dry way. I was dreading this class and all the reading but his lectures were awesome! He writes all over your papers so know how to write.

Comment:

This was the third class I've had with Bradshaw because I like his personality. He's got a good sense of humor. He's a pretty easy grader. He's helpful, though he's notorious for not responding to emails. But, if you want a paper back in a reasonable time frame, do NOT take him. 3-page papers submitted in February were not returned until mid-April.

Comment:

Bradshaw is a very nice guy, but he is awful about grading & procrastinating about clarifying assignments. This class was very difficult because he only took 4 grades: 2 small papers, a term paper, & the final exam. He'll almost always offer to help, but when it comes to following through don't hold your breathe. I would never recommend this class.

Dr Bradshae is a very nice guy. BUT he is awful about procrastinating when it comes to grading papers. And you will be lucky if he answers your email when you need help with something. I would never recommend this class to anyone ever. Its very difficult because there are two small papers, one term paper, and one final exam as grades.

Comment:

The literature he picked for our class was really boring. He graded papers fairly, but NOT in a timely manner. He gave us back our first paper AFTER the second one was weeks passed due (and we only had three the entire semester). BUT he's a great guy, and I really liked him. He's extremely understanding about deadlines and needing extra time.

If I had to hear about his doctorate one more time, I would lose it. LONG papers and lots of reading over high-school material. Every reading assignment we had was something I had already read in high school. I know you might have to take this class if you're an English major, but come prepared with ear plugs and a pillow.

Comment:

Awesome professor. His class lasts an eternity but you really learn a lot. You have no idea what your grade is at the end of semester. Take his class. I never read any of his material and got a B. It just made a lot of extra work for me to sparknote.
