Comment:

Terry Eiler is a great person but as a professor he drove me crazy. Lectures were boring, homework took a long time, and tests were nearly impossible. I studied for the first midterm for over 30 hours, along with going to every class and completing every homework assignment, and still only received an 80% (AND THATS W/ A 20% CURVE!).

Comment:

Professor Eiler is a pretty good professor. The lectures could get a bit boring, especially because they were 80 minutes long. He gave out homework assignments almost every class, but they are small exercises that take about 5-10 minutes each. In general, it's a fairly easy class. The homework points will really bump your grade up if you do them.

Comment:

Terry's class is very easy. He can sometimes be confusing, but if you come to class and do some of the reading assignments, this class is very easy. He also offers extra credit a lot and it really helps. There are a lot of homework assignments, but they're so easy that you're happy to do them for the grade boost.

Wonderful man. He has seen and done everything. But with that, comes his egotistical attitude. Make sure you produce a selfie.

Terry is funny and kinda cool because he knows his stuff. Class is boring, and you have a bazillion assignments. Lectures aren't very well organized, but honestly it doesn't really matter because he posts the powerpoints online and tests are easy anyway.

He talks about himself a lot and then when you look at what he has done, things don't add up.

Comment:

Boring classes. Easy assignments everyday - boosts your grade. It almost seems as if he puts little effort into the lectures (he talks for half of it and has students talk about how they copied an image from google and wrote 20 words about it), but you've gotta take VICO1000 if you want to move on, so just do it. Reading some of the book will help.

The class is pretty easy. Homework is due every class, but it is super easy just print out pictures and write about 50 words about it, just do it. The tests are not that hard, but you have to study for it.

Thinks he's all that, but... knows some stuff - imparts only a little without being asked.

This Director and Professor is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. You will have to ask him questions other wise he won't think to tell you anything more then the basics. But**** kids its school you did'n't think it all to be handed to you?

Terry is one of those profs that if you don't ask he won't tell you. Sure Vico 120 is boring but ****ing hell he thinks it is as well. But get this guy to edit your photos, mags or teach you Director and you will come out a stronger person for it. Pros Terry

One of the most egotistical and pompous men I've ever encountered in my life - completely unhelpful unless you're one of the chosen photojournalism elites. He did a whole lecture on himself once!!

Nice guy, likes to try and tell you he's the meanest prof you'll ever have. Tries to make the huge lecture class fun. He uploads his notes onto blackboard so if you miss a day you're not swimming in missed notes, but there is extra stuff you get in class.

Not a bad class, he's a BSer, and says the exams are impossible, they're not. All the notes are online....you just have to show up for class.
