Comment:
He really does know what he's teaching. Problem is, he goes off on tirades about how the topic is tied to modern day or he gets completely off-topic. He also says, "This is covered in your book" a lot instead of actually covering the material. Overall, I'd avoid taking the course with him if possible.

Comment:
Be prepared to read, not only all of your text book but two other texts as well. Bradford is very knowledgeable but tends to get off topic. Multiple 4 page papers are due throughout the semester. Exams are long essay, writing 2 or 3 at a time. Good prof but be prepared to read quite a lot.

Did not enjoy his class. Attendance is mandatory...Lots of reading to do and the notes are hard to take because he goes off on tangents sometimes. Very knowledgeable of history though. Like 4 one page double spaced essays and quizzes throughout semester. Only a midterm and final all essay.

Comment:
I hear he is a great upper level teacher, but as for 105, he is horrible. Worst class, boring, hard, huge, complicated. I took notes, studied and failed everthing. This mainly depends on your TA, who grades everything. Its alot of work. I got some Horky guy as a TA. He sucked.

good class but a lot of reading that you have to do, but if you listen it's pretty easy to figure out what the quizzes/tests are on

If military history is your thing then Dr. Bradford is your man. I had the pleasure of having him teach a WWII history class in Normandy France during the Rudder Scholars program in the Summer of 1998.

Was a pretty good prof, kept the class fun and entertaining. Just dont fall asleep or have your cell phone on. Didn't take hardly any notes and have gotten a B and an A on the exams. Just need to know the key points for each essay

He wrote the books for this course, and his method of teaching is to say this is covered in your book 2-3 times per class.
