Awesome prof! Very funny and entertaining. He keeps you awake! Read the text, his notes let you know what is key and that's that. Study his handouts, examples and apply them to the textbook for the tests!

Comment:

Terry is fun, charismatic, and engaging. Lectures aren't organized, his notes are sparse and don't completely cover essentials. You MUST read the text, as that will give you all you need. Marking seems a bit erratic, but overall if you work hard and seek his feedback, you will do well. He is very encouraging!

Comment:

His classes are always interesting, and I found him quite witty and entertaining. He's also a pretty easy marker. HOWEVER, his notes can be very hard to understand and attendance is pretty important. I would reccommend taking a class with him!

Terry is a very charismatic person.Has sense of humour & wants you to learn.That said,have 2agree w/person below=marking is bizarre.Worked really hard on some stuff=mediocre grade;handed in some stuff that I thought totally sucked & got top marks.Confused.Study text & lecture notes. U absolutely cannot fudge tests=all written, all from your head.

Comment:

terry is an interesting lecturer. however his marking is way out there. hard to know exactly what he expects on assignments. has a giant essay worth 30% and only talks about it once. many small, annoying assignments not worth anything grade-wise. tests all written. tough marker. LOTS of text reading expected. terry's charming personality-wise.

Avoid him at all cost. I DIDN'T LEARN A THING IN HIS CLASS. Other than that, he seems to be a nice teacher who wants their students to suceed and is quite amusing at times.

Talks in riddles. Amuses himslef with slick wit that only he seems to get. But he marks lenient not easy, as some say. And he seems to passive disposition.

Comment:

this guy enjoys teaching and it shows. he expects that you may actually be interested in politics.i've often left this class quite inspired. he is a really fine prof, and how you could take this class without actually learning quite a lot is a mystery to me. about the only constuctive criticism i'd have--it's socks and shoes, not sandals Terry.

Terrys class sux! He totally grades you on how much u suck up and not your knowledge of the class work. He has asked me four times to come to his office, I feel that it is innapropriate to be asked that many times. He made me feel uncomfortable and has called me pet names like "tiger" NOT COOL! dont take this class!BORING!!! your wasting yor time.

Comment:

Still remember when Terry threw a tantrum because we asked when we would receive the questions for the final exam. He gave us less than 48 hours to do the questions. He is not clear in what he expects and his lectures seem somewhat scattered.
