Professor Bradford is a good lecturer and very knowledgeable on geology. The labs are varied and interesting. On the downside, she gives out loads of paperwork. The workload for the class is pretty heavy as well. Overall, she's a an excellent professor who's definitely worth taking.

If you don't like a lot of work you will not like this class!!! Labs every class. She makes you go on field trips which I find a little weird for a college professor. Shes extremely passionate about Geology. Very nice woman, will help if you need her too. Gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit. Overall good teacher.

Ms. Bradford is a good teacher and she loves teaching. Class is a lot of work, reading chapters, learning minerals, and rocks, group project, and two scientific papers. She offers 30 points extra credit that are easy to obtain. Her tests are straight from the study guides. Answer and study from the guides and you will pass the class.

This class was actually enjoyable! The labs were fun and there are occasional field trips. She gives extra credit so if you need the boost, it's there. She is a great professor and will give back feedback! Tests are easy as long as you actually complete the review and try in class. I recommend this class

When it came to Geology I though one thing and was shocked by the amount of work, two the syllabus was desperately required, three you need to be organized. Four, don't add math as a class or another science or anything over a credit with a lot of homework, you need every moment spared for this class.

Prof Bradford is a really good teacher. She's interesting and knows what she's talking about! Her classes are fun because she focuses the lectures around the labs and hands on activities so you don't have to sit through a lecture for a long time and only take notes. She does give A LOT of homework though but all of it completion. Must come to class

This should be considered a time extensive class, you should expect a lot of work. Work is easy, and she is an easy grader. Although, she is not considerate of students time with other classes. You are either doing nothing in this class or everything major. Expect mandatory off campus labs as well, which may make you late for your next class.

Ms. Bradford is a very kind person who is helpful and patient. I have never taken a college science class before, but I felt this class was a great deal of work. There was a lab project almost every week. Tests were two essay questions each. Online work was also required. There were also two mineral/rock identification tests.

The professor is very kind, flexible, and understanding that the majority of her students have lives and if need be offer help(let me borrow her own textbooks)

AMAZING! Everything you learn, you could use in your life no matter what field you're going into. She understands that almost no one in her class is going to become a geologist but that only makes her teach with more passion. All the labs are completion grades, but so fun that you usually want to do them anyway. She is ALWAYS happy to help, always.

Professor Bradford is by far the kindest instructor I have ever had.

However after talking with her, she made it possible and I ended up with a very gracious B. This is NOT a hard class by any means.

If you are able to be disciplined she gives you the exact questions that will be on the test prior to it - all you have to do is practice! Her lectures consist of writing and drawing on the board - easy!

I'm indifferent about this professor. I like that the class was really easy and organized, however, nothing ever gets graded on time.

She says to not post the day it's due and to do multiple posts, however the rubric said multiple posts were optional.
