Prof. Terry explained ideas very well. Always went over test anwers. Very,very smart guy(could give Spock a run for his money). If you have to take Pre-Cal take C.Terry.
Dr. Terry is a math nut. he lives for it so he of course can help you do anything. hes got a dry sense of humor, but get some calculator games and pay attention every now and then and you will do well
I never opened the book once and I got a perfect score in that class. if you're just coming out of high school and are pretty good at math, he's a good guy to take. You'll understand it, and it won't be hard. Get a TI-89 and learn how to use it. it helps.
Great guy, easy class. Very friendly and helpful.
I've really enjoyed this class, and I never really cared for math classes before. Take notes, do your homework, and you should get an A. He's pretty enthusiastic about math, but that's a good thing.
I am not good at math, and passed! I think he will be a great teacher once he finds his style. Our class heard a lot of "Math History" which I could have done without, but He is there for questions and to simplify and help you though
I'm absolutely loved taking this class! Dr. Terry has restored my confidence in math. Don't hesitate to sign up for this class.
take him if you don't like math / aren't good at it. easy A.
He's very lenient on grading. Tests are medium. helpful. very nice. teaches ok.
He tries to make it easy. If you don't understand him ask someone else in the class. He is very leniant on tardies. If you like cats his inituals or CAT.
He's is a really nice guy. He works hard to explain the concepts as clearly as possible. He also doesn't make you feel stupid if you ask a question. Homework is optional- but it really helps to practice for the test. HE also gives partical credit!
Tests started out very predictable and decently easy. Half way through the semester his tests started turning into beasts! He is a nice guy though.
he was a great guy and whenever i needed help he would help me. I would take him
Who said he was hot? If you are into bow ties, sure he is! He is a great teacher. Enthusiastic about what he does and very helpful!
He is so nice! Awsome teacher. Always helpful and tests are easy. His door is always open to helping students with anything they need.
great class w a great prof, easy to understand and willing to help at any time.
If math is a foreign language to you then you should choose Dr. Terry. Willing to work with students until they understand the material. Plus, he is a nice guy and kinda cute.
He is an awesome teacher. I am horrible at math and I have an A in his class. He is very nice about helping you. He wants you to ask questions if you have a problem. Highly recommend for those that math does not come easy to.
He has somehow made group theory fun and interesting.
Great teacher. Would never turn down a student looking for help. Couldn't fix my calculator though.
Great guy, awesome teacher, answers questions and just a really good teacher. He even went over my final with me and told me where i made mistakes when i asked him.
not that bad. knows his stuff but has trouble explaining it to the class. if i didn't take calc in high school, i would've been lost! you can always go to his office for assistance, and his tests aren't bad. just do the homework (which isn't a lot) and pay attention. allows you to ask any questions.
Dr. Terry is very fair! Do the homework every now and then and you will be fine. I've had him for 2 different class, and I'm taking his class again. I would highly recommend him! Wants you to learn and be interested in what he is teaching. A little boring. He is always there to help if you don't understand. You can tell he loves teaching.
Great teacher...very clear...you can't go wrong with this guy
super guy
A++ Priest on Mannoroth. Helps out lowbies with quests and instances. Very pleasant, also helps with math problems in guildchat. Highly recommended.
Very nice guy, very helpful, tells you what to study for tests (four tests, cumulative final). Is thorough with lessons and always willing to review things you need help with. Can be annoying with his "must follow the rules" attitude but overall good professor. I'd take him again for another class.
i am so bad at math but prof. terry cleared a lot of it up for me. the only thing i didn't like was that we really rushed through the end of the semester. i didn't do as well on the final as i probably would have done if he didn't rush it so much. gives a couple of chances to earn extra credit and tests are pretty easy.
take him.. super dude
very nice guy take him if you can
411 Multiple choice exams No extra points for participation HW doesn't count to help your grades What you get on the four exams/Final is it! So you better guess good, because you get one try! He isn't as easy people say about him. MC, is actually harder.
Even though I got a B, I think I came out more clueless than when I started the class. This wasn't his fault! I'm just terrible at meaningless math.. will bend over backwards to help you understand. Gives good notes on board. I'd take him again in a heartbeat!
Good teacher but do expect your grade throughout the class to drop a whole letter grade after the exam (Dr. terry will even mention this)
Doesnt care if you come to class as long as you know the material.
Dr. Terry is NOT EASY!!!! You will struggle through his class all semmester long. He doesn't know how to teach. He's the kind of Professor that skips steps while doing the problem, and he confuses you with the calculator. He's horrible at teaching. He doesn't drop any test. He doesn't give any extra-credit. AVOID HIM!!!!!
A great teacher with a subtle wit. Very helpful, will bend over backward to help you understand. I'd recommend his Statistics class to anyone.
Professor Terry is the worst. He doesn't explain the problems he just works them out on the board. And the problem done in class are nothing like the test!! do not take if your not a math major!
i would take him if you just need precal and dont want to go on.. im terrible at math and absolutely hate but he made it better. i just wanted to get by with this math so i dont really care about understanding it. i got 2 b's and 2 c's on tests. gives lots of partial credit if you just attempt problems w/ close answers. very nice guy!
Dr. Terry is a great guy. If you come to class and put forth the effort it is an easy A. I hated Algebra, but enjoyed Statistics. Dr. Terry is there for you if you need help. He grades very easily and gives take home quizzes to help you understand the material. I would recommend Dr. Terry to anyone who wants to actually learn.
He is very nice and fun. He really likes teaching..
good teacher easy to understand and takes his time.
This is my 2nd time taking Terry (First for pre-Cal)...as long as you attend class and do the homework there's no problem.
Dr. Terry is one of the most helpful prof's I've ever sat under. I had a hard time in this course because I am not an engineering or math major, but he took the time to help me understand, even though this was just to fulfill a core requirement.
i SUCK at math but he really wants you to understand how to do things. takes a lot of time explaining "why" things are the way they are". Prob the biggest nerd i have ever met and refers to a calculator as a machine. He has a dry sense of humor but knows what hes doing and explains things many diff ways so you can understand! DEF TAKE HIM!
he is a horrible teacher. i gained nothing of educational value in his class. If u have signed up for his class or know someone who signed up for his WITHDRAW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. He talks too much about things that are common sense and fly over complicated equations. HE IS AN AWFUL TEACHER DO NOT TAKE UNLESS U ARE A MATH WIZ!!!!!
Please..if you dont want to waste your money (by taking college algebra again because you failed the final), DO NOT TAKE HIM. period. he takes the time to explain things that are completely irrelevant while breezing past what really matters. He's a math genius and he fails to realize his students arent! do yourself a favor and avoid this class.
Dr. Terry was a great teacher that truly cares about his students understanding the work he gives. He goes into a lot of broad/generalized ideas about what he teaches, and doesn't give very many in class examples of the topics he teaches. This made it difficult for me, Nevertheless I got a B with little effort so I was happy. He gives study guides.
His quizzes are take home..the test review he gives out is the same format the test is in. VERY easy except he teaches really fast but overall take him!
LOVED HIM!!1 his tests are exactly like his quizzes and practice tests write verything down that he writes on th eboard and attend class and review the notes and the take home quizzes you'll do great! Probably one of the easiest A's ive ever made he doesnt try any tricky things on tests
Quite simply, AMAZING! Great professor. When one student asked Dr. Terry if he ever got tired of looking at numbers he said, "No." So you know that he is passionate about his job. Gives pertial credit on problems that you simply attempt. I strongly recommend him, for any math!
WOW! Outstanding lectures & clarity. Gives many examples & very clear about what you need to know. writes everything on the board & talks fast. You hand will hurt from taking notes. Test match exactly with the review. I would take him for any and all my math classes! Attendance not mandatory but if you want to pass don't skip unless you are dying!
awsome
Dr. Terry's amazing, very simple instructions, first time in 4 classes I understand logs.
Dr Terry is an excellent professor. He talks fast so you better be quick with the pen. Homework, & test were representive of his lectures. I never opened my text book. All the test material is covered in lecture. Write everything he writes on the board and that is your text book. Go to class, take notes, ask questions and you will be fine.
Incredibly Competent. Fun to listen to.
I love Dr. Terry. Explains everything and will give a proof for everything. Will take time to answer questions as thoroughly as possible. Great sense of humor. Tries to help out the class as much as possible if everyone is weak in some area. Take notes to learn the concepts--his explanations are more clear concise than the book.
I am so horrible with math, but I am going into the final with an A. The textbook is a waste of money besided having extra problems to work. I would take him again!
Dr.Terry was awesome!!!!!! He taught that anyone could do math!!!!!! If you needed help he's open to helping. Dr.T does not care how you get the right answer just as long as you understand. PLEASE TAKE IF YOU WANT TO PASS MATH!!!!!!!! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Good teacher and great grading methods. I was afraid I would fail in the beginning, but he explained everything clearly. 9000 internets to him.
Dr. Terry is a very nice guy and likes to teach. He is helpful with questions you may ask and does not make you feel inferior for asking questions. He gave us take home quizzes once a week which weren't the easiest things in the world for sure but his tests were pretty easy just covering the basic concept of each lesson.
When asking for help he made me feel STUPID. If I didnt need help I wouldnt ask. If your great w/MATH HE LOVES U. For those not so good in MATH U will NEED A TUTOR. Also seen him belittle a student for asking ? infront of 5 other students. I felt bad 4 the student. b/c they really didnt understand & needed help. WOULD NOT RECOMMAND!!!
Dr. Terry is AWESOME! He gives quizzes usually every week but they are (for the most part) take home and he grades them on effort and basic understanding instead of the right answer. He is extremely helpful and really nice!! Math is NOT my subject and I have an A in the class.
He is a great professor. Very helpful in class and very clear. He makes sure you understand the concept and leaves a bunch of room for questions. He gives us weekly quizzes to take home for the weekend. Pretty easy. Then for the test he gives you a review sheet and everything on that sheet will be on the test. Overall he is a wonderful teacher!
He was a very nice guy who really knows the subject matter! He grades very kindly on tests and quizzes with lots of partial credit. Quiz every weekend but they are all take home! Easy A!
I hated math but I loved Dr. Terry. He loves his job and it shows, everyday. He kind of reminds me of Ben Folds;he's funny which helped to keep the class interested. Do your homework and ask questions and you'll succeed.
I took Dr. Terry for College Algebra and Statistics. He is a very easy teacher and a very helpful teacher. He gives quizzes every week, which you print off of his web page and bring into class. He is often available for help after class.
Dr. Terry was my favorite professor during my first semester! He loves to work until times up, and does multiple examples of things to ensure your understanding! His weekly take-home quizzes are a good booster for grades, and understanding! I definitely suggest taking Dr. Terry's class for any of your maths!
I honestly did not like Dr. Terry's teaching method. Its really hard to understand him most of times so I'm always lost in class. He is a very nice person to get to know but he was not a good Calculus professor.
Dr. Terry is one of the best professors. He understands you have life going on and he does whatever he can to help. His grading is very fair and if you attempt a problem he will give you some kind of credit.
Dr. Terry is a great professor. Gives partial credit, test are easier than most of the problems he gives for homework. Weekly take home quizzes boost your grade and also shows the kind of questions that will be asked on test. Overall easy class but you have to put effort in!
Dr. Terry was not the best professor. He was an easy grader (which was his only redeeming quality). He is not a very good teacher and I was confused a lot even after asking questions. He also taught us how to do the problems without calculators first so by the time you copied it he had already did it using the calculator so you were even more lost.
Dr. Terry is an outstanding professor. He is one of the best professors I have ever had by far at AU. His lectures are structured so come prepared to take notes. He does not require much besides homework and assignments on web assign. He cares for his students and returns exams within a reasonable time frame. Overall, highly recommend.
OK grader, very understanding professor. Poor teacher though, redemption for a decent score was that he was nice and semi-fun. Tests weren't easy though.
I LOVE THAT GUY! His exams are a lot like the review and gives you a sheet of paper you can write anything on for each exam! He is nice and helpful during office hours and just a really chill professor and guy! Easy A in my opinion as long as you study for the tests and pay attention during lecture and do homework.
He was a super friendly guy, however he was not a good statistics teacher. He his homework wasn't clear & even the tutors were confused about the wording. He doesn't give clear instructions or answers when it comes to questions you may have in class over previous test or homework. If you'er good at teaching yourself then by all means take this him
I don't think I could've succeeded in this course with any other professor. Terry is really kind and wants us to do well! He allowed for calculator help and a cheat sheet on the exam. I am not a stats person and he made it a little easier for me. I really appreciated having him for this course. I would definitely recommend him.
Good teacher. A lot of web based support material for homework but it keeps you on track. Fair grader. Gives partial credit whenever he can. Review sheets focus preparation. Allows you to bring one sheet of paper with anything on it for exams. Could have given more exams. Only had 3, including the final, so the exams covered a lot.
As someone who isn't proficient in math, I got lucky with this professor. While he speaks fast and his handwriting is terrible, he is always open to questions. He also allows you to bring a piece of paper with whatever you want written on it to every exam, and gives a lot of partial credit. He cares, and does his best to help you pass. Take him!
Extremely cordial individual. Solid lecturer whose tests reflected pretty much exactly what the homework was. Fair grader who like most math professors at this level gives partial credit. Not the most difficult teacher I've had, but not a cakewalk.
I took Dr. Terry's Precalculus class in Summer 2018 and the lectures were 5 days a week. His lectures were structured so be prepared to take notes. There were quizzes, in-class exams, and a cumulative in-person final exam. I missed the final exam and he was understanding, so I took it in his office at a later date. Overall, I recommend Dr. Terry.
He is really funny and nice. He does get behind sometimes from talking too long about a concept, but if he does he doesn't put the stuff we didn't go over on the exam. He is a really good grader, and believes in freedom so he always tries to give you the most points possible!
Professor Terry is THE math professor you want. His lectures are well-organized and provide a supple amount of useful information without feeling crammed or bloated. He takes time out of lectures to answer questions and expand upon tough subjects. He provides helpful practice problems/tests that ensure understanding. He's also just a kind person.
Favorite math professor of all time.
Good professor and gives opportunities to succeed.
Honestly, sometimes I get lost as to what is being taught in class. I do end up teaching myself outside of class because stats in general can be tricky to learn. His exams aren't that bad, you get a cheat sheet per exam and can write anything on there. The quizzes and homework are online. Overall, his a good professor.
Dr. Terry is an amazing guy who is very passionate about math. He can talk over things too quickly, but when he does explain, its very clear. Even if you have a poor grasp on math, it won't be hard to catch up if you fall behind. Overall, he is incredibly caring and wants you to succeed. You get a cheat sheet on each exam, which is a plus.
Great professor! He's very nice and lets you use notes on test .
LISTEN TO THE LECTURES AND YOULL DO FINE, you're allowed a whole sheet of paper for tests, and he counts your 10 highest questions (so 10 out of 11, you can completely mess up one, AND he offers so much partial credit). If you're looking for an in-person stat class, he is the BEST option.
Dr. Terry has to be my favorite professor at AU. STATS was the easiest math class ive ever taken. Assignments were super easy, lectures were simple, just attend the class. Super laid back and easy to listen to.
