I took an online class with him. He is a very unflexible individual. This is a fault for a teacher. He needs to take some pedagogy class and learn how to be a human being not a machine.

Terry Delaney in a community college professor trying not to be a community college professor. I've got news Terry, you are a community college professor for a reason. No professor at a respectable college would be as inflexible and biased as Terry Delaney is.

One of the worst teachers I've had..he is unclear on what he wants, and never gives a straight answer. P.s. if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all..he should keep some of his comments to himself

Biased, plays favorites, wants you to "spit back" what he's taught. Don't you dare deviate.

I thought it would be better to complete my history gen ed requirement online over the summer, rather than take it with 5 other courses during the semester. Wow. Horrible idea. There is far too much reading, online posting, test-taking, and he grades too hard on the papers. I strongly DO NOT recommend his online class.

Never responded to my emails in any helpful manner, I did the assignments I was aware of only to find out there were additional assignments I was unaware of, and never informed of. He teaches the online classes in an unacceptable manner. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

He is teaching this online - doesn't believe in online learning though? He won't help or clarify very smart responses to questions I expressed a concern over a 20 quest test being 20 mins long he said I have a learning disability go get help. I am so frustrated I would not recommend to anyone at least not online.

I have never seen such a terrible professor for an online course. He grades hard and gives out hard assignments. He offers absolutely no help to his students and expects you to know everything on day one. He is demeaning of students and does not help students succeed in his class; Be advised: DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.

I will never take a class with this professor again. He was unwilling to help and rude to several classmates. Also made us buy a book never used in the Semester

Do not enroll his class. The entire class was almost failed in the first test. If you study the assignments the he gave online, considering it as part of the test, you are going to failed. He loves to write abbreviated words on the board that when you study it back, you are completely lost.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!

Do not enroll his class. Learning should be fun that it gives you a balance life between school, personal and work. He is too much. He gave school work load that is beyond acceptable. His grading system has no chance of passing a student or getting an A even you are an honor student. I hope the college is checking on this issues.

Literally the worst teacher I have ever had. I have never complained about a teacher before, and usually have no problem getting along with them. Delaney is extremely rude when you email him for help or with a question and is an extremely hard grader. I have never gotten a D in my entire life but in this course I did. Do not take his class!!

Terrible teacher, RUDE, non-helpful and could care less about his students. It's black and white with him nothing in between. Module exams are multiple choice and short answer I do great on the multiple choice, fair on the short answer but I get an F for a grade? History isn't my life but it is his. Don't take this course unless it's your life too.

I would not recommend his online courses to anyone. I ended up dropping it and happily walked away with only 50% of my money. He assigns readings from two books, along with multiple websites, with no guidance and has a quiz due on every Friday. There are no slides, no lectures, no GUIDANCE. When I confronted him about it, I got no response.

I thought he was a horrible professor, no clarity at all and not willing to help the students whats so ever. I do not recommend it.

He needs to make his class more oriented around learning civil war material, and less about reading and writing. Although I learned a lot about the civil war, I withdrew because your grade is based on how well you write, not what you know about the civil war.

This guy is a hard grader, and does not put things clearly. I got a D on my final paper because I didn't have a clear thesis, that seems a little harsh. He never helped me out, just criticized what I did, in turn because I didn't know exactly what I was supposed to be doing. I wouldn't recommend this guy for anything. Didn't really check up on us.

Nice professor, but his class is not good. his problems were: 1. Expects excellent writing skills. Most projects are more about writing knowledge than history. 2. Does not assign clear projects, then expects them done a certain way. 3. Too much reading for a short time period. By the time you get the book, you'll have little time to read it.

He was an absolutely nightmare for students who were honestly trying their best. Unclear guidelines led to 90% of students failing the term paper and when I emailed him in regards to this he had no desire to help or to make clear what we did wrong. Annoyance crosses his face for any question made in class along with rude responses to emails. Bad.

It is only the first week of school and I am already seeking another professor for the course. The professor uses his own site that is poorly designed with very unclear deadlines, assignments, & no clear expectations. Grades based more on your writing skills than the subject itself. Professor very short and condescending when asked for help.

In addition to being a generally rude and condescending human being, Terrence Delaney is a very poor professor. His "lectures" are nothing more than random facts he finds interesting, with attendance, of course, being mandatory. Even though his lecturing will not help you with testing, he grades incredibly tough, and is little help outside of class

I took this class online for starters. First of he gives way too much work for 7 weeks. His emails and the way he words comments are extremely rude and inappropriate. His final paper didn't make any sense and his grading was even worse! Not to mention his assignments were from another book.

Unclear grading criteria on multiple assignments. Won't give you the time of day in an email so meet up with him if you need to discuss something. Be prepared for him to not care about a word you say and to make you feel like you aren't trying hard enough, when in reality you are. Don't take any class with him, for your sake.

Rude. Won't give you the time of day in an email so meet up with him if you need to discuss something. Be prepared for him to not care about a word you say and to make you feel like you aren't trying hard enough, when in reality you are. Don't take any class with him, for your sake. (accidentally gave wrong level of difficulty on previous review).

This is one of the worst classes and worst professor. He is very rude and not helpful at all. At one time I thought I just wanted to quit college after dealing with him. He made me feel like a stupid student. Do not take any class with him. You will be stressed out.

Delaney is one of those professors where whatever you do he'll find something. Expects you to know every single little detail from the text, he's pretty fair when you go talk to him about any issues that may arise. Get ready to put in the work for at least a B!

Easily one of the worst professors Ive ever had. I emailed him with a test correction and here I am 12 DAYS later still with no response. I had to drop on week 14/15 because he failed me on a test and refused to change the grade.

Be prepared to do a lot of reading, and essay writing. You have to work your behind off to get a B. Dropped the class so it didn't kill my GPA. If you take this class and you work full time, take it as a single class. The work you have to put in is equal to two classes.

Was vague and unclear in communications.

You basically have to teach yourself in the online class. Extremely unclear with his assignment instructions. In order to find one assignment due date you would have to click on multiple links to get there. His online class is through a personal website not the school which was difficult to navigate.

Prof. Delaney is the only teacher I had to drop because of his terrible, rude, and insensitive attitude. I have never met a man so conceited and toxic in the classroom. When you ask for help, he's rude, when you have a question about homework, he's rude. He simply doesn't like to communicate with his students and he tries his best to make you fail.

Dropping the class ASAP. His directions are so unclear thats is not even a joke. Used a completely different website that is not blackboard. He puts everything on the announcements on blackboard however doesnt really use it for anything else. Wouldnt recommend taking him runnnn now while you can.

Extremely rigid and difficult grader. Does not care if you work still expects you to do 3 classes worth of work for his one class. Expects the world from you but cant even be bothered to use blackboard. I wish I had never taken history with him. Just an all around horrible teacher Im surprised three rivers hasnt gotten rid of him.

Wish I could leave a zero. Hes that bad. Has unrealistic expectations. The class covers civil war through world war 2 and Vietnam and he somehow made all of that boring and tedious. Do not take any classes with Delaney. Wait until a better professor comes along. If I needed his class to graduate I would postpone my graduation just to avoid him.

Bad just all around bad do not take a class with him you will regret it.

I should have listen when his past students told me to drop the class since the beginning. This man does not care about his students, nothing is good for him, you can put your heart to his works still receive 0/10 if he is not feeling your answer. Do not take him if you don't want your GPA to go down yeah his that bad. Very tough

There is no syllabus as far as I could tell and the only grading that made a dent was discussion questions (essays essentially) that I never knew the due date for. I got at least 80% on all of my quizzes and was failing by midterms. I asked for help and he told me my "concerns ring hollow" with a link to his external website that is not helpful

Honestly his class is not that hard but he wants to make sure you learn the content. So f you really in to history you should take the class... but if you're like me and just need a quick passing grade or credit than stay away.

Mr. Terrence Delaney or whatever you call him is simply not a good professor. Not only does he make students visit his website that is not even secure, but he does not even post the adequate information to make sure we are prepared. He does his teaching by making you read countless textbook pages and watch hours of pointless videos. Bad grader

Get ready for a very difficult class. He gives way too much reading and expects reports at a level unreachable. Would never have this professor again.

Accused me and another former student of plaigarism with no basis. Repeatedly fought me on coursework submissions, refused to take late work despite the unclear nature of his syllabus and course layout. Does not teach. Grades are extremely unclear.

I used to love history until I took Delaney's class. He's rude, a tough grader, and demands much more respect than he gives you. When I was homeless, he refused to extend any deadlines. I had a 95 in his class, until he gave me a D- on the final for not using additional sources (the videos he has you watch). He's a bad teacher and a worse person.

Avoid at all costs. The professor deliberately adds announcements and exam requirements stealthily to the bottom of blackboard announcements, and when you don't see them and fail an exam he considers it your fault. Totally uncaring and dismissive, any problems are your problems, even if he causes them deliberately.

He is extremely rude, if you email him for help, don't use blackboard because he will not respond. He doesn't use blackboard Utterly rude and self absorbed. You ask for help and it's a bother that you ask him for it. He will be no use to you or help to you. He acts like he's to good to be teaching community college and helping the students in it.

Whenever I email him he is very condescending and acts like I'm stupid for asking a question. Extremely tough grader. We just had our first exam and the majority of the class did really bad. Do not expect help from him either. If you're having trouble in the class and try to get help, he'll be very rude and barely even make an effort to help.

Delany's online course is so disorganized. He created his own website that is nearly impossible to navigate. He is straight-up rude and condescending. If I weren't so far in I would be dropping his class, I've scored above 75 on every quiz we've taken so far and got an F on the midterm grade that was "based on all the work you've submitted".

Probably the worst professor I have ever had. I would never take this guys class again. horrible. Has all materials on his own website and is unorganized and hard to find anything. Does not teach, tells you to look at the book. very pretentious. For someone making almost 300k a year from the state, a complete waste of money from the state of CT.

Its a shame that he is still teaching, such a terrible professor. Professors like Delaney are the reason tenure should not exist. DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HIS CLASSES. Worst teacher I have ever had, his ego is insane and he is very rude. He is a textbook a narcissist.

Avoid at all costs this guy made me hate history, the name terrence, and his hair. Very distracting demands respect even though he doesn't deserve it. this guy shouldn't have became a professor.

Narcissistic teacher. Had an A+ all semester until the final, where he gave me an F because I didn't incorporate enough info from the optional homework. I asked him for leniency when I was homeless and he said it was too late. My advisor reached out to him, and this guy effectively told her to buzz off because he's tenured. Avoid at all costs.

horrible professor! incredibly disorganized on blackboard and incorporates confusing formats on the tests/quizzes without explaining directions. he claims he understands that many students don't like history but expected us to write the term paper as if we're historians. please save yourself unnecessary stress and don't take this class!

I had to withdraw from this class before it was starting to affecting my stress levels and mental health. The professor is extremely rude and horribly disorganized. He refuses to answer students questions. Incredibly difficult and disorganized for an online course. Please avoid this professor at all costs!

Do not take his class if you are not a history major he is a harsh grader and has his expectations set way to high he is awful do not take any class with him as the teacher

I strongly advise against taking any classes with Dr. Delaney. He demonstrated zero compassion or empathy. class was structured horribly with very confusing syllabus hidden on his website. the materials were spread out throughout blackboard, his website or just not posted. He insulted me multiple times and was extremely disrespectful. DO NOT TAKE!

Professor thinks that you are only taking his class and no one else's. He required 3 text books for the course, 2/3 were utilized. My final paper, I cited from 2 of the 3 books that we used from class, and his comments were "I find it astonishing that you did not use all 3 books for this course, and graded against me for not using all three books"

This professor's syllabus is unclear, quizzes are as tough as tests, and studying notes alone isn't enough you need to know the entire textbook. Deadlines are confusing and grading is harsh. Expect a heavy workload and stress. Not recommended unless you're a history major or history buff.

The professor is strict with grading and has a confusing course structure. The syllabus is on a self-made website that's hard to navigate. Due dates are unclear, and exams and discussions are overly challenging. He expects precise citations and specific answers to broad questions. He's not understanding, often saying, "You should've known better,"

His course was nearly unbearable.

For someone who is very disorganized when it comes to his website, blackboard, and syllabus, he is very sassy.

Had to drop considering how unorganized his class was as well as the heavy workload. Don't even get me started on his website, a 9 year old could make one better...

Choose another professor but Delaney.

crash out every week, only grades available to you are the three tests and the term paper that is a time period of 100 years and you have to use 15 sources and the entire textbook. I don't think he realizes we have other classes and work to do or he just doesn't care. TOO MUCH WORK and slightly rude.

Terrible. It's history 101, Delaney, not 4th year history… act like it. He never engages with the students. He rarely responds to emails. He's snarky and rude and gives awful feedback. He expects us to improve then doesn't tell us how. ONLINE YET HE IS TERRIBLE WITH TECHNOLOGY. Never again, he's only there because of tenure. Not hard, just bad prof

Would get mad if you didn't participate but would also get mad if you tried and got a question even just slightly wrong, often would walk out in the middle of class and would never come back, website is outdated and has many dead links and is listed on 'unsafe' on many modern browsers, changed the final's due date without any notice. Really rude.

'Hilarious' in the way that it is baffling that someone his age disrespects his students who are way younger than him, was very disrespectful over things such as personal clothing choices and hobbies despite it not being relevant to the course. He would also walk out of the middle of class and not come back, frustrating if you are trying to learn.

Do NOT take his class online. His website is outdated, and he takes WEEKS to grade. He has high standards, even though this is an intro course. He springs things upon you without an announcement; when he does make an announcement, it's buried, and you don't get a notification. You have a test EVERY WEEK. He is a harsh grader and expects perfection.

no respect towards students, never a good morning or hi in announcements or emails. very complicated grading if you get all multiple choice correct and make a mistake of not citing for short answers, you somehow fail? no flexibility and or understanding students at all. it seems most students have said the same given the 2.2 rating.

I wouldn't wish my worst enemy the pain of having him as their Professor. He's THAT BAD!

Worst professor I've ever had. The class was disorganized, instructions unclear, expectations constantly changed. The workload was excessive. Questions were met with sarcasm and dismissive responses. Despite earning A's on over 10 quizzes, I still failed. Avoid.
