I had Ed in 1980-1984 and to this day still remember construction related information that he taught. He was informational and had great stories that related to the coursework.

Comment:

Never worked so hard for an A. Instead of learning the concepts, you will learn how to do things Ed's way. Does not always know what he is talking about and will leave you with the impression that every mishap in the field is resolved through mediation in court.

Administration: Prepare yourself for the same ole stories day in and day out. Tests every week to every other. Probably around 2 assignments per week on average. Remember, Edward Brayton is just trying to change the industry!...He is availible 24/7 if you need help on homework, a special breed indeed.

I find Mr. Brayton to be very insulting, He treats students like second class citizens, also he likes to force his opinion upon me.

Comment:

Best professor I've ever had. People complain that homeworks are too time consuming, but I disagree. It is a lot of work, but it is worth it, and you get a ton of information for the money you pay! Would take him for every class if possible.

I will agree with some of the statements made here. People who knock him must be present students. This man does know what he is talking about. He is one of the teachers that I remember the must thru every situation that I am in on the job site. And so

Comment:

Can someone tell me how he has all these stories when he has been teaching over 20 years, by my guess that leaves maybe 5 years in the industry. Yeah he must know so much about the industry. His stories are BS. His class is BS.You will never use anything you learn in his class.... Ferris alumnus

Comment:

The only people who like this professor are asskissers. He does not know how to teach. If he did, his assignments would not take 3+ hours to complete. He throws an assignment at you without a thourough discussion of how to do it. Then corrects them, runs through answers as fast as he can.
