Stiff as a board, but otherwise an easy grader. If you want a perfect score on every quiz you have to study the complete lab as well as certain highlights of the next lab (which are usually worth 2 points). He make us take practice exams on the day of our lecture chem exams, which really helped a lot.

Although the class may be challenging, Professor Bradbury's lectures are great. They are never boring. Bradbury's main focus is the perk of hard work. He believes that a successful student works extremely hard, nothing comes easy. At some point, he became like a mentor to my classmates and I.

Professor Bradbury is a one of a kind professor, and the guy definitely makes you work to earn your grade. He wants to see all his students succeed and is great at teaching the material. His sarcasm and hilarious character makes chemistry so much more enjoyable to learn. Just make sure to work for your grade, as he does not hand them out.

Really liked how he cared that we all understood. took during summer session so was pretty hard, but kept us going, he's very motivating and to top it off keeps you upgraded on what you need to do to be successful throughout the semester, makes chemistry sound easy

He is my favorite professor. He cares about how you are doing in his class, has practice exams, funny, plays music in lab, has a monotone voice but you get use to it, intimidating at first. Cares about you transfering and having a career in science. Can be mean, do NOT get on his bad side, but a real cool professor. Bradbury is the best there is.

I was in his class 3 years ago. Now I'm graduating from UC Berkeley and professor Bradbury is STILL one of my favorite professors. He cares about his students, about them learning the material, he's very approachable to help you, and he's better than most instructors at UC Berkeley! Yeah I said it! Definitely take his class.

I was nervous for his 6 week class because of the small amount of time to learn a whole semester of chem. He made it so easy! Lectures and lab help you understand well, he offers lots of worksheets and practice exams so you know what to expect. It's all on you to study.

He is also very funny so you will stay awake the whole time. He doesn't give much homework, but he does expect you to do readings and some TB problems.

5 exams, 1 final. He's tough the first few weeks to weed out the ones who aren't prepared, but after he becomes a lot more lenient and the work starts to lessen. All the exam material are from his lectures. Don't expect the study guides to be the same as his exams, the concepts are the same but the questions are different. Study the lecture notes.

Professor Bradbury is a tough professor who cares deeply about motivating students to do their best. He will not coddle you at all, especially if you take a 6-week summer class, but he makes succeeding in his class deeply rewarding if you put in the effort to do so. A Bradbury class is traumatic, but so worth it and you will learn Chemistry well.

Do not recommend, went based on the ratings, and the first day was trying to intimidate and ridicule students. He made it difficult for those who had not taken him before for previous chem courses. Was discouraging and bullying. Never have experienced such a bad professor as this one. Save yourself and time from him and his teaching philosophy.

I took him for the summer and let me just start my prefacing this. Any stem class you take in the summer will be very difficult and time consuming. You cannot miss a day and you can cruise by without studying. That being said, Professor Bradbury was very clear and consistent with his grading, lectures and lab. He cares deeply about his students.
