This is the best research class ever! Brian is the man, and makes gaining research experience both fun and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this class to anyone needing research for a resume or for capstone credit.
It was super easy. Just put in the lab time and you're guaranteed an easy A. Take it.
took this class for my capstone credit and it was super great. Professor Bradford is excellent and willing to work with you. The TAs are really helpful as well. this was a great study to be a part of.
great class. take it. you won't regret it.
Loved this class! It was a great way to get experience doing research in a professional, but fun setting. I would recommend it to anyone needing research or capstone credit.
Awesome Teacher. Funny, and brilliant.
He takes the time to make the experience enjoyable. He cares about the project and those who help make the project happen.
Brian makes this research class a lot of fun. Just make sure you have time for it. (15 hrsweek for springsummer, 9 hrsweek for fallwinter). Would take again!
Great professor and good straightforward class. As long as you can put in your hours, a very worthwhile class to take for experience and great practical trainings.
Brian is a great person to work with. He's a lot of fun and makes the research a more enjoyable experience. Great option for a capstone. As long as you can put in the hours every week you're sure to get an A.
Brian has a very sarcastic and teasing personality, but that is not to say that he doesn't genuinely care about his students. He gives ample opportunities for additional credit and is very flexible. The only real grade that can be variable in the class are the lab hours, if you do the required hours - you get an A. Simple as that.
I participate in the CREATE research project with Brian Bradford. Brian is a great teacher, he is very clear with his expectations and willing to work with you. He is responsive to questions. He is also really fun and enjoyable to spend time with.
Awesome class, fun people, and fanciating research!
Good class to take if you want an easy A. Just make sure you get your hours and do the IRB training, and you're golden. Works HAS to be done in the lab!
This class is so much fun! Especially if you form friendships with the people on the team (it makes all the difference in the world). You can have a blast and get an A if you put the effort into it. Really, the outcome all depends on you and what you are willing to put into it.
He knows how to have fun in class! He is caring about students and so friendly! The grading criteria is clear, and you can a lot of useful information to get a job in the future through this class.
This is my second time taking the course (which should say a lot)! Whether you need this class for your capstone requirement, or just to gain experience in the research field, Brian is the person you want to take it from! Brian and the TA's are the best. It's really not a difficult class if you're just willing to put in the lab hours each week!
He is very nice and funny. The class isn't very difficult, just time-consuming.
This is a great and fun class. Researching marriage and families is very rewarding.
Great class! I took it to fulfill my capstone credit. Brian is so fun to work with! Just do your hours and you'll get an A. Lots of fun!
I took this class hoping to get some good experience in research. Even though it was different than what I expected, I am still grateful for what I learned. You will learn if you seek to learn, even if the tasks are menial. Otherwise, the class is great to be able to work with and learn from other great students and professors.
This class was great! It was interesting to work on a research project like this, and the work environment was a lot of fun.
A necessary step for graduation. Be very consistent in accumulating your hours or you will regret it.
Wants all of his students to have an A in the class (that's exactly what he said).
I worked on the CREATE project. It was super fun, and an easy way to get 3 credits of A's. It also looks really great on a resume!
Awesome class. Awesome TAs. Great research experience.
I loved this class. He is so nice in helpful. I think everyone should take this class.
The CREATE project with Professor Bradford is a great research opportunity. I used this class as a capstone and was surprised by the easiness of the course. The class made me kind of like research; it was pretty fun. (The TAs are pretty helpful too.) I would take it again if I wasn't graduating.
The class was such a great experience for me and Professor Bradford is awesome! He wants everyone to get an A, everyone should take this class as a capstone!
Great class!! The CREATE project was fun to work on and it was easy to get in the research hours. Professor Bradford is a hilarious guy too!
Very easy and straightforward class. Easy to get an A if you are consistent in weekly hours in the lab -- though can be tough to get an A if you are playing catch-up. There are options for double hours and extra credit throughout the semester. The research can be a little dull at times, but Brian and the TA's make the class fun.
I took this class for capstone credit and it was great. As long as you do your hours you will get an A. The T.A's and Prof. Bradford are extremely funny.
He's a good guy and this class is an excellent way to fulfill any capstone requirements for your major.
This class was awesome! I am taking it again next semester. It covers one of my capstones and it is a really great experience.
Prof. Bradford is a great guy all the way around. Love the class it counts as a capstone and it is a good opportunity. Don't hesitate!
Take this class. You put in the time and you get an A. (seriously all that is required is time.) If you were a goldfish and you came to class, you could get an A. (ps there is no textbook)
Do what he asks. It's really straightforward. Put in the hours and the A is yours. Also, he'll occasionally give out double hours and pizza, so yeah, I was happy with how the class turned out.
This class is mainly researched based and Brian makes that very clear. He wants you to pass the class and makes it very possible to do so as long as you get your hours in. He has a great sense of humor and is really easy to work with. The research can be tedious at times, but you have a great team to work with and the project itself is awesome.
403R CREATE with Professor Bradford was awesome. He is fun and very personable with the students. He is easy to approach and does a great job of making sure aspects of the research are understood. The work is easy, but does take time. That being said, you get credit for all the time you put in. He is a great professor! No textbook!
This class is great research experience. But remember there comes a lot of time spent doing that research. This class is fun and an easy A, but you HAVE to make sure you get the (about) 9 lab hours in each week which can be overwhelming at times. Not impossible, just sometimes monotonous. Other than that it's fun and the work itself isn't hard.
Brian is the BEST!!! In all honesty Brian is therefor you. he wants you to get everything possible out of the class. if you want to turn it into an opportunity, whatever type of opportunity you want, he will work with you to make the best of it. The class is not hard, you just have to put in the work.
I really enjoyed this class. I took it as my Capstone and it was awesome! Brian wants every student to get an A and to do so getting in weekly hours is key. It is very chill and there are many opportunities to get hours or extra hours for projects that need to be done ASAP. It will be worth it.
The hours are required. So make sure you make time for them. You know exactly what is expected from day one so it is easy to understand what your requirements.
Brian is a great teacher! I took it as my capstone for psychology. Super fun and chill class! All you have to do is put in your hours, which you just need to make sure to start early and not procrastinate! Other than that it's a fun class and people should definitely take it!
All you need to do for this class is show up and complete the assigned hours of research. The TAs are really helpful and will make sure that you get 100% on all of the assignments. I would recommend taking this class for sure.
Brian is my favorite. He will try and be sassy but if you stay strong he backs down.
SFL403R is a great class and all you have to do is complete your hours. Brian is very relaxed and willing to help. He is always super friendly.
9 hours in the CREATE lab per week (need 9 hr/week average by end of the semester) and you get an A. Only 3 classes of the entire semester are required attendance. Brian is super cool guy and I actually learned a lot from him. Easy A if do the hours.
Brian is so awesome! He's super sassy and kids around a lot but he gets down to it when he needs to. The class is just great.
Brian is awesome. The CREATE project is super easy and super fun but also a cool thing to work on and put on a resume.
It's a research class so some of the work is tedious, but the work environment is great and Brian is very easy and fun to work with!
This class was really amazing! I learned a lot about how research works and Brian was so helpful with any questions I had!
Do your hours or else..........
This was a great class to take as my capstone. You do have to get 130 hours which has taken a lot of dedication, but there's not any homework or anything outside of the hours.
This was a great class! It isn't too much stressful work at all. I learned a lot about research projects. My major is Psychology but this was still such a great opportunity. You get to work with people that have your same interests and learn how to improve skills such as building your resume.
He was very specific in what he wanted done for assignments. He hired good TAs that helped out a lot if you ever got confused. He helped out as well. Brian would talk with me personally to make sure everything was going okay and that I was getting the grade I needed. I would definitely take more classes from him.
Brian is so awesome and interested in getting to know his students. He is sassy and makes class fun. Easy easy easy A. All you need to do is get your hours and write a short reflection on your experience at the end of the semester. This class is a great way to get involved!
If you do what is expected of you from week to week then you will get an A.
Awesome guy. Expect sarcasm.
Brian Bradford is amazing. He's like an angel. He makes the class project fun and insightful
Wow! A Super Excellent Experience!
Brian Bradford is the man. He's hilarious and very approachable. His lectures were very enjoyable and inspirational, with a lot of class participation. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and would definitely take it again.
Brian was transparent in his own understanding of class concepts which greatly increased class morale .
Great class. Great opportunity to get research experience. Brian is great, very friendly, and helpful.
He was a super funny guy but genuinely cared and was incredibly helpful.
This is a great class and is great for your capstone.
Wants you to succeed and gives you every opportunity to do so.
Brian is awesome! You can tell he really cares about your success now and in the future. If you complete all your hours in the lab, you'll get an A+. This project is amazing, and I truly enjoyed being a small part of something huge. I really felt God's approval of this research and the grandiosity that it will one day have.
I loved my time researching for Brian. He is a really cool professor and he is way funny. He really takes the time to get to know his students and he teaches some really useful stuff for the real world. Loved this class.
Brian is a great teacher and makes class time super fun! This class is a great opportunity to gain some experience in research, and it's a super fun and easy way to fulfill your capstone. I highly recommend taking this class!
Brian Bradford has unique gifts both in project management and caring for individuals. You can instantly feel you are part of the team, yet you also feel you will be held accountable for excellence. He is very hands-on and meets individually with students to see that they are on track. Brian is passionate about the project and is a great leader.
The class is not difficult to get a good grade and Brian really takes care of each student. This class will help you learn the research process. There is no any burden for homework assignments.
This class was a great experience. Brian helps you immediately feel like a member of the team. We have fun and work hard, you learn a lot about how research actually works, it is a wonderful resume builder, and provides many real life learning experiences, such as how to leverage your time spent on CREATE. Just make sure to get your hours in!
Great teacher, Great attitude towards students and has a positive vibe and personality.
He is a great professor! I was able to just be myself and he really cared about each student. He checked up constantly on my progress in the class and tried to be helpful in any way he could. Take this professor any chance you get!
Great class. Lots of time doing research but it's fun. Good way to get research experience.
Very good way to knock out your capstone. Expectations are extremely clear and there isn't a bunch of busy work to make you miserable. You get to do research while listening to music/podcasts/whatever you want. Great class.
Put your time in and you'll get the grade. Brian is great and he definitely wants to help his students be successful. Not just in this class but in all of school and life afterwards. I really appreciated that.
Brian is a great professor and really works with you to get what you need done. Usually involves some sort of food in the research process, so that's always a bonus.
He is really nice and understanding! He actually cares about his students.
He was a great teacher and I would definitely recommend him to anyone! Show up for your hours and you will do just fine
Prof Bradford is so fun to work with. The class gives you hands-on research experience and it isn't that hard either. Some stuff was kinda boring, but you can listen to music while you work, eat in the lab and even watch Netflix sometimes. As long you put in all your hours and show up to class, you'll do great! I recommend it to fulfill a capstone!
Brian is honestly the greatest! This is the best way to get capstone credit. At first, I was a little hesitant and scared because in the summer he requires you to do 14 hours a week. But honestly, it is really reasonable and very easy to achieve. Brian is also really cool and will let you watch Netflix depending on the tasks youre doing!
He is really easy going and chill. I was never stressed out about the class, as long as you get things done and make time for your hours he makes it possible for you to get an A really easily.
This class is not necessarily difficult. There aren't a lot of assignments and the biggest portion of your grade are your hours. But Professor Bradford is awesome! He is very laid back, works with everyone and is overall an awesome guy.
This class is awesome. It really gives you insight into what goes into conducting a research study. As long as you put the hours in, you'll get a good grade. It's not hard work; it's just putting in the time. Professor Bradford is really great. He is very easy to talk to and very helpful. Take this class!
This was a great way for me to complete my Psychology Capstone. There is a time commitment but its manageable. Dr. Bradford is a cool guy!
Brian is a gifted leader. He expects a "high bar," but is reasonable and has a fun sense of humor.
Brian is a great professor with an awesome sense of humor. This class is easy as long as you make sure not to get behind! The TAs and Professor are very helpful if you have any questions.
Professor Bradford is an awesome professor. He really cares about his students and makes class enjoyable. He let us listen to music while researching and watch Netflix while addressing envelopes. The class is an easy A as long as you complete the required hours! I learned a lot but also had a lot of fun! I would definitely recommend his class!
If you have 9 extra hours a week to help on a research project then TAKE THIS CLASS. It takes a lot of time but you get the pick when you work, you get the easiest A of your life, you get job experience to add to your resume, AND you get to take a class with the greatest teacher ever.
Great way to wrap up a capstone class. Brian is a great professor and is sometimes funny. For 9 hours a week you get to spend time with friends helping a great research project move forward. If you are struggling to find a class you'd like, I'd recommend taking this research class. Lots of hands on experience and you get the behind the scenes.
This class isn't your typical 3 credit class. It's a research lab so be prepared to put in your hours. Brian and his TAs make it so fun and relaxing while also preparing us for our future careers and/or education. Come ready to make friends and be apart of the coolest research project!
Brian is an awesome professor to do research with! Participation is his main concern; as long as you fulfill the required time in the lab you'll get an A.
Brian Bradford is the best!! You aren't required to go to class, but you need to complete nine hours of research a week.
This is a great class! Brian is easy to talk to, helpful, and fun. I am taking this class again.
I honestly was so terrified to sign up for a research class because there are some professors I just don't mesh with, and I had never met Professor Bradford face to face before my first day in the lab. However, Brian is one of the funniest people I've ever met and genuinely wants each of his students to have a good research experience.
Honestly this was probably the best capstones I've taken. No lie, Brian is the BOMB! He's a great teacher and cares about his students and their futures! He wants you to do well not only in the class but in your future career by teaching you resumes, etc! Class is super fun! He's hillarious and you work the hours on your own time! It's so niceee!
LOVED Brian! Amazing professor!
I loved this class. It is a great opportunity to participate in research, and it looks great on a resume. Brian is also super accessible as a professor, and gives great life advice.
Great class and fantastic professor! Super helpful as a research experience and fantastic training about how to use it in a resume.
Such a fun class where you learn a lot. You get actual experience instead of just practicing it or reading about it in textbooks. Super easy and laid back but you have to keep up with the hours. Can be tedious at times.
Professor Bradford is number one. He is so funny and always willing to work with you. His class is a piece of cake as long as you stay on top of the research hours. Great vibes in his class.
This class was great! Brian (and his sidekick Tate) are so fun to work with. It is also really cool to be a part of a research study that will hopefully go on to benefit so many people. Great class, great people!
Awesome class, fun professor, super interesting research study, awesome and helpful TA's, and easy A! 10/10 would recommend!
Brian offered a really great research experience and was careful to respect our needs but also the needs of the project. He is super funny and this was a very enjoyable class.
Brian is hilarious and so approachable. I really enjoyed his class and learned a lot from him and his TAs. Researching for him was a super beneficial experience.
Brian is an incredible individual. He has designed this class to help us get real world experience using research, and he has also included life lessons and essential skills training. With some help from this class, I am graduating with a job that I am so excited to go to!!
I took this class as a capstone to graduate. I was super interested in research in the family studies field, so this class was the perfect opportunity to be apart of it. The class consists of coming to lab, putting hours and that's about it. Show up and you will pass. Brian is enthusiastic and fun, but don't call him Brother Bradford.
This class was very time consuming but not difficult. Brian was extremely helpful and I felt comfortable talking with him about things that I needed help with.
I absolutely loved this class! Brian was such an awesome teacher who cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. He is hilarious and approachable. I recommend this class to everyone!
This class wasn't necessarily difficult, however, it is a big time commitment. It is about 90 hours a semester. But it is very worth it!
This class isn't necessarily hard, it is a time commitment however. You have to get 90 hours of research in during the semester. It was a good class and a good opportunity to get a closer look into the research process.
Great class! Dr. Bradford is hilarious. The class requires a lot of hours, but it's not bad at all! The research isn't hard and you can listen to music, etc. while you research. Would take again for sure.
Brian is really friendly and approachable. He tries hard to give people a solid chance at an A. Work hard to get your hours in, the rest of the assignments are a breeze! Be aware that the course requires phone calls and staring at data until you can't see straight.
Brian is really friendly and nice. This class is not difficult it just requires alot of hours outside of class. Make sure you do hours every week. The other assignments are not difficult. Overall such a great class. I learned new things, got some research experience and had fun!
Very laid back class. Brian is super fun. It is a great way to gain research experience!
Brian is the best!! If you need to fulfill capstone requirements or just need more credits, this is the class to take!
Brian is such an easy going professor and he is willing to accommodate to your needs! You have to have 9 hours a week for this class, but it is doable.
Really great class! Brian is a great professor and if you do your hours, you'll pass the class. It's super fun to make friends in the class too!
The material for the class isn't difficult, but the time commitment of 9 hours a week is pretty significant. Brian is probably one of the most sarcastic professors I've had, so hopefully you're okay with that. Good chance to be a part of research and a team. You interact a lot with each other in class but most of the work is on your own time.
Brian is a hilarious professor, he is caring and his class has flexible schedules to complete the 9 hours of research each week. Totally recommend taking this class with him!
This class was also very informative regarding building resumes and the interview process, which was extremely helpful.
Brian is the freakin bomb dot com. This class does require a large time commitment. I took it in the summer so we had to be in the lab 14 hours per week. I think in fall/winter its around 9 hours a week. This section is not difficult though! Just keep in touch with CREATE research participants, and have fun with your team. 13/10 would take again.
Dr. Bradford is a great professor to work with. He is really clear on what he expects out of us and he is very easy going. He does not do anything to trick students and his assignments are straight forward. He gives good feedback to whatever topic we are discussing and is respectful and easy to work with.
Easy A for a 3 cred class. Class was once a week for 50 min. All you had to do was come to class (which is not mandatory, but we are given assignments there) and do you mandatory lab hours for the week. He is super nice and funny. Would definitely take a class from him again.
I learned a lot in this class and really loved everyone I worked with. Dr. Bradford and the TAs are great. They are really great about teaching you everything you need to know, preparing you for the future, and taking the time to get to know you. I wish I could take this class again.
Brian Bradford is a fantastic human being! Working with him throughout the semester was a real joy. He's witty to everyone and incredibly kind one-on-one. To me, his humor is the crown jewel of the class!
This class is a great way to get more research experience under your belt! Brian and the TAs are amazing and so helpful, and Brian is absolutely hilarious. I would definitely take the class again! As long as you do the few assignments that you are given (which count toward your hours) and complete your hours each week you will pass the class!
Basically to succeed in this class you just need to put in all 9 hours each week (if taken during fall or winter). It isn't too hard. Brian makes class time each week fun. He takes time to get to know each of us at least somewhat. He is often sarcastic but will answer any questions you have honestly and thoroughly.
This was a really fun class! Brian is really funny and makes being in class a good experience. He is very sarcastic! You need to get 9 hours each week to pass the class. I would take this class again.
This class an excellent way to get your foot in the door for research. You learn a lot of useful skills such as Excel, interviewing, and writing a resume. Brian is hilarious and makes you feel welcomed and cared for. The class requires 9 hours of research per week. Definitely would recommend!
Brian is really great! He feels like a peer; hes really relatable. The 403R class includes 8 hours of research per week, just routine stuff like logging emails or making phone calls occasionally, and one class hour per week where we talk as a group about how our week was, laugh, and then learn some valuable life/professional skills from Brian.
This class was a really great introduction to the world of research. It teaches you a lot of valuable skills and Brian is great! He always makes class fun, and as long as you stay on top of your hours you'll be fine! It is 9 hours per week, but definitely worth taking. I'd recommend this class to anyone!
Super chill and super fun research class. Would definitely take again!
As long as you get your hours, Brian wants you to get an A. He really cares about his students and made this class really fun! I really liked doing research and making phone calls for the CREATE project.
He was great to do research with and very funny/loving to the students. He made class enjoyable.
Brian is an awesome professor and you can tell he genuinely cares about each of his students. As long as you work hard and get all of your hours done, you'll succeed in the class. It was a great research experience and I'd definitely take this class again!!
Brian is an amazing teacher and person overall! Class was really fun, and I learned a lot about job interviews and creating resumes on top of participating in the research process. Brian genuinely cares about his students and wants to help them succeed, both in class and in life, and he gives great advice. I definitely recommend his class!
Brian is a great professor and mentor. This class is a big commitment because he requires you to log an average of 9 hrs per week throughout the semester (on lab work and stuff you can do at home). The class is helpful in giving you a chance to be a part of a research team. I'd say it's similar to an unpaid internship. Also, he loves sarcasm/jokes.
Loved this course! Brian brought a great energy and helped make the work more interesting.
This class was one of my favorites this semester. Brian is really funny! Class is also really enjoyable. You learn a lot of great things and how to be apart of a team! You will not regret taking SFL 403R from Brian.
SFL403R with Brian is awesome! You have to put in 9 hours of research a week and log that time, but it really isn't as difficult as it might sound. A lot of what you do is help to input data into excel. Every class period is awesome and Brian really gets to know and care about students, he is so funny and just a great guy. Highly recommend!
Brian Bradford is an organized teacher that helps you accomplish your research while still making you feel cared for as an individual. He is easily accessible and flexible and easy to work with. Super funny too. I would definitely take another class from him!
Such a fun class! The Fulton Conference Poster is a lot of work, but such a cool experience to work with a professor. Expect to do 9 hours of work a week! Class is 2 hours, always a blast.
Loooooooved this class. It was very impactful for what I want to do for my career. Brian is an amazing professor and really cares about you and how you're doing. If you want to learn more about how to affectively apply research and make a difference, and learn more about what you can do for a career in the SFL major, take this class!!!
Brian creates an easy-going and open learning environment. He is approachable and fun and really cares about his students. He does whatever he can to help you be successful. You are committing to 9 hours of work per week, this is a non negotiable, but this includes all work that you complete for this class. I would take from him in a heart-beat!
You learn a lot in this class and it is a good research experience. You do have to do 9 hours of research/ lab work a week, but it does include class time and assignment work. GET ON THIS or you will live in the lab at the end of the semester. You write 3 papers and attend the Fulton Conference with a research poster.
A great class. Definitely is a big time commitment (14 hour/week for spring summer) but it helps you see what it is like to be on a research team. Brian does his best to make class interesting and fun when he is there. I also learned a lot about interviews/resumes/career stuff so that was really useful! You can tell Brian really cares about each s
Good class. It was a big time commitment for spring/summer (14 hours a week). He really cares about the students and is willing to work with them to find ways to improve for future education.
Great dude. Honestly nothing bad to say about him. He has a really good sense of humor and you never have questions about what to do for assignments because his criteria is always clear. Honestly, I highly recommend.
Great professor. Loves to talk to students and to help them by answering their questions about future careers.
Brian is honestly so great! The class can seem intimidating because it's mostly about lab hours, but once you get into it, it's not. Brian is really chill, super nice, and you can tell he really cares about his students. He is also really passionate about the subjects we discuss and the CREATE study itself. He wants you to succeed but also learn.
