Comment:

Ahern is the worst professor I've ever had. He is a slacker. It seems he wasn't there to teach but to socialize. He usually wasn't there for posted office hours and frequently didn't show for scheduled appointments. Everything I learned in this course I learned inspite of the teacher. If you'd like to learn nothing, and get an A sign up.

Comment:

Terrence is a good teacher, has a huge enthusiasm for the subject (which comes across). He can be a bit unclear about assignments and grading. If you ask, he's always willing to help. Our loss is WVU's gain.

Comment:

This guy is full of himself. The class was terrible, did nothing and learned almost nothing - waste of time. His lectures were completely unprepared and he just winged it. If you need help good luck trying to get a hold of him.

Comment:

HORRIBLE at answering emails, not very tech savvy and lulls you into a false sense of security with his friendliness. As nice as he is, he is a complete slacker and will not put effort into anything unless you ride him about it. Overall, a poor teacher.

Comment:

The class isn't too bad, although his teaching strategy requires you to often dig through the APIs and look it up yourself. Overall, not a bad class. It will be made harder if you haven't had any OOP experience.
