This course is very different. It is very hands-on. She gives no exams, but instead you have to write 3 papers and do a project. Overall, she grades pretty easily as long as you use references in your paper. She also gives a few easy grades added on at the end of the semester to give a boost. We visited "Senior Scholars" at Village Manor, a retirement community in Bowling Green. I loved meeting the seniors! It was NOT a nursing home so don't be afraid. The elders were capable and fun to talk to! Dr. Bradley is very very sweet and very funny. It is usually a small Honors class (we had 10 students) which makes it very fun. Would definitely recommend!

Although Mrs. Bradley is a very nice, energetic person, I would not reccommend taking her unless you're very crafty and creative. She makes you do all these projects that deals with poster making or drawing and she grades them WAY too hard. The tests are ridiculous in that theyre so specific and really hard to study for. She gave enough pretty simple homework for me to pull out a B and if not I probably wouldnt have done too well. She IS willing to help and will do so, but like I said unless youre very creative, I wouldnt recommend taking her.

Dana Bradley is the worst... she may be fine in class but do not take her online. I got a 56 out of 100 and a 52 out of 100 on her 2 tests and my overall GPA is a 3.89. The first test I honestly thought she opened up the wrong test because any information that I COULD find in the book was in different chapters. I then read all of the chapters required for the next test and got an even worse grade. It is so specific that I am pretty sure the authors of this text book would not have done very well on this test.

This class was easy but time wasted. I learned nothing, and Dr. Bradley is kind of annoying in the ways she acts. We don't do anything in class and she cancels a lot. Its an easy A so most people will want to take her. This class could have been so much more interesting though.

This class was so much fun. It is more of a laid back discussion and she is always in a good mood and smiling. There is one test and it come during the middle of the semester and it is in essay form but it is the only test so nobody really minds and she grades easy. The test is pretty much common sense too. However, you do have to do an interview with an elder and present it at a fair type thing. It isn't very hard. Attendence isn't mandatory because you aren't held accountable for many things but she makes you want to come to class because she is so much fun. I HIGHLY recommend her.
