Comment:

Another totally OVERPAID tenured professor at USC and By far the WORST professor in my 4 year career at USC. This man should just quit and never come back...he is totally disorganized and test averages for my class was always in the 50's.

Comment:

He comes to class not very prepared. Just picks random problems from the book and does them wrong sometimes. He gives one or two problems for homework every class. If you take him, get the solution manual for the book. It's the only way I learned anything.

Comment:

Very hard teacher, we never even learned from the book. He taught us his methods and that alone took a month for everyone to understand. Test averages were in the 60's. Do all the homework and show up everyday. He doesn't curve until the end of the year, and even then its not a big one.

if you had/have problems with this teacher, you may want to change your major. his test's may be hard but he goes over the material very well. show's examples on every aspect of any assignments. one of my favorite civil teachers. seriously though if you had problems i'd switch to liberal arts.

Comment:

Thank god he is retiring after summer. I can't believe he enjoys teaching. He has no personality, nobody likes him, and he doesn't let you copy down his lecture notes. For all of you who have to take this in the fall, take Dr. Ray. He is the best teacher I have ever had in college.

Comment:

One of the hardest classes I've had at USC, but I know the material very well now. Is always willing to help if you go by his office. Test grades average 50-60, but don't worry too much, he curves at the end of the course. Do and Understand the homework.

Comment:

Nice guy. . . Horrible teacher!!! He mumbles, you can't understand his writing, he stands infront of the board so you can't copy anything till he starts on the next problem, and he's so freaking slow. His test are impossible. He's a nice guy and he will help you but he is a horrible teacher. He does curve.

Advice: Do all the homework and understand it clearly. Do not wait for the last min. The key to make a good grade in this class is to understand the hm from the beginning and ask him questions. DO ALL THE REVIEW problems at the end of the chapter. Just work hard.

Comment:

It's a hard class and the grades are gonna be pretty bad but in the end, there will be a pretty big curve that should help a lot. I had about a 50 average and ended up with a C. No complaints.

The material's hard, but he's a good teacher, ask questions and go to his office, the class avg is usually 60's, but he knows who's a hard worker and is trying to understand the material - i hope i have him later on as a teacher

Comment:

I've had Dr. Bradburn for 4 classes, 320, 325, 327, and 520. He was a very hard teacher. But don't be frightened. The averages are usually in the 50's or 60's. The reason is he wants to see just what you can handle. He's an awesome professor. Looking back, he's helped me the most with understanding

Comment:

Statics was by far the hardest Engineering Class I have taken. I went and asked him for help before and he completely dismissed me. It is a very boring class. The Final Exam is pretty much IMPOSSIBLE! Dont be surprised if the class average is in the 30s.

Comment:

If you go to class, do all of the homework, and study the class is not that bad. If you have trouble all you have to do is go to his office. Looking back at the class, it really helped. I have a great understanding of vectors now!

HE DOES NOT USE A TEXTBOOK, TESTS ARE HARD, AND HE CAN NOT TEACH AT ALL. IF YOU DO TAKE THIS CLASS GO AHEAD AND BUY RILEY AND STURGES STATICS TEXT BOOK, IT WILL HELP YOU OUT A GOOD BIT!
