Comment:
He is a very sweet man. Everyday he says let's get complicated though and sometimes his notes go all over the place. You rarely use the book, but sometimes it is useful when studying for the test. I think he is probably one of the better econ teachers.

Comment:
A very, very nice guy. I loved how he always started class with, "now let's start the day out right, Good Morning everyone", reminded me of 1st grade! Anyways his notes are definately scattered and some topics are hard to grasp. However, if you go to class, and ask him when you have any questions you should do fine. Also, see him before exams.

Lectures are good but handwriting is not always clear. Attendance is not mandatory but he does give attendance quizzes througout the semester. Test are mainly 30 mutiple choice questions. testbook is helpful to skim through proior to tests. Stay on top of things and you should do fine. An ok class... come' on it economics.

Strange class, very random lectures liked to talk abotu the stock market alot, didnt do to much form the book, and when he did, very sporadically, doesnt take attendance, but gives quizzes, so go for the last 15 minutes, and then to the review seesions, he covers everything u need to know in those sessions, also go by his office

A good professor. You can easily get an A if you take notes. You donĂ¢€™t have to buy a textbook, but it may help because his notes are unorganized.

Very unorganized and hard to understand. Dont sit at the back of class if you care about your grade because otherwise you cannot read the board and you cannot hear because of others talking in the back. However, VERY helpful outside of class. He helped me one-on-one before every test.

Comment:
He's a cool guy, but his tests are strange. He says he's teaching some stuff from the book, but I don't know what book he was looking at. He waits til the last minute of class to give quizzes, but those do help. I'm not quite sure what to think of him.

Man this guy is completely unorganized. If you plan on taking a class that has structure....go right ahead. Great professor, just a horrible teacher. You get tested on his experiences not the knowledge in the book.

your not going to find an easier economics professor. Im not saying its easy but he is by far the easiest one. Take this from a person going a second time around and passing it.

I thought he was fun to listen to and the class was a breeze. Gives quizes, but usually gives the answere too. Everything is simple economics. He's a bit of a coot, but I loved every minute of it!

BEWARE! This teacher is a lot to handle at 8 am in the morning. He rants and raves and tries to make the class interesting (which he fails at), and you have to pay attention from beginning to end to get a good grade in the class. Good luck.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. THIS MAN IS INSANE. The first test was not hard. The last three are ridiculous. He pulls questions out his butt. His notes are disorganized and erratic. He does not give curves. He sucks.

Comment:
Most unstructured class ever. He knows what he means to say, but his ability to say it is lacking. You may spend several lectures waiting for him to say what he means to get to. However, the nicest caring man on campus and there are always wacky questions on the test-like mother-in-law ones and who wrote your book, etc...

Comment:
Bradley is a good person, but a hard teacher to follow. He is willing to help his students if they ask. There are quizes in the class and sometimes on consecutive class days.
