Great prof., some really eccentric lectures!

A great Prof that everyone should have at least once...closed minded about some topics...Easy to do well in his class but don't expect As...Bs are easily attainable.

Very smart man; sometimes a bit hard to follow. You can learn a lot from him. He's very into what he does and energetic.

He is an incredibly well rounded individual ans has much life experience to offer his students.

It was a very interesting class and Terry did a great job teaching it!

Interesting professor who is a decent lecturer. However, the content of his lectures left something to be desired. The hour long length didn't allow for a thorough examination of the topics, however tutorial did a good job of fixing that deficiency.

He was a good teacher, I had biases going into the class, but I have a new knowledge about people who are different then me. The class made me a better person.

Terry has a strong voice and eloquent delivery of speech. Although he can be hard to understand at times, he aims for clarity when you ask specific questions. Terry does not beat around the bush and he has the same expectations from his students.

This course is fabulous! The texts are so interesting, but challenging - the tutorials are so packed with info, that your brain literally hurts after every tutorial.. but WOW, you learn SO MUCH - FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!

Very interesting course and he's obviously quite passionate about it. Texts are also interesting. Good lecturer - very random though. Nice guy all and all, but a hard marker.

I thought Terry was a pretty good professor. Sometimes his lectures went a bit into left field but they were still interesting, informative and creative - he has no structure and just goes with it - you have no idea what to expect! His views tend to overshadow the work a bit but so do most profs... The readings are well set-up and were great.

Terry Goldie comes across me as having a confrontational character...so don't be alarmed if he gives you the finger and say '**** you' to see if you are paying attention. He does challenge normative ways of thinking, so if this is something you will take as a set back then perhaps this class is not for you- on the other hand, perhaps it is.

Terry is good, but some organization would really improve his lectures. He lets tutorials slide into student anecdotes which becomes pretty boring, but when he's controlling the tutorial it's interesting. I've heard he's a tough marker but he marks fine when you try to be creative in your analysis.

Terry is an excellent Professor - I have no idea why there are so many negative reviews! He makes his class very interesting, shows respect for everyone, and knows what he is talking about. As long as you do the readings and attend all classes you will do just fine.

This course was separated into two terms for 2011/12. Terry is easy to listen to, but tells a lot of personal sexual stories that may make you uncomfortable. The course outline is clear: two in class essays, one regular essay and a take home exam. You NEED to do the readings. Having all 3 TAs before, try to get Andy as a TA

Thought he was interesting. Enjoyed the class as a whole. Found the essay topics easy.

Terry is really cool. he listens to what every student has to say and really gives them a fair chance to try to see value in their comment. Try to be in his tutorial, theyre a lot of fun!

Terry is an incredible teacher and human being. His lectures are funny, real, raw and inspiring. In order to appreciate this course, you have to approach it in a different way than most courses. Look at the big picture of gender and sexuality, and you will learn a lot and become a more open and less judgemental person. Would take again x10000000000

Terry is SUPER engaging. He always gets back to emails, no matter how dumb the question, and has this aura about him that can make anyone feel comfortable and willing to participate.

Very surprised to read the negative feedback re: Terry. Heavy reading for a 2nd yr level - sure - but, to be expected of an English course of this type: literature + theory. Terry's lectures are very engaging. Personal anecdotes make him personable. His perspective is refreshing. He encourages out of the box thinking. He is caring. A real gem!

Don't know why terry doesn't have a better rating. He is a real gem. His lectures are super accessiable, sure theres alot of reading but it's easy to get an A in his online class, and he's just a sweetheart and gives great feedback.

Terry Goldie is an absolute gem. Riveting lectures, readings, and incredibly deep analysis make for a great class. 10/10 would take it again.

I think you just have to go into this class with an open and accepting heart. He talks like Plato and loves to write in riddles when replying to your discussion posts but honestly, he just wants to debate with someone. Here's the secret: reply to him in riddles as well and he'll see you as an equal. Such a fun experience.

Professor Goldie is inspiring. I engage with him frequently through the forums, and I learn so much from those interactions. My favorite part of the class is that, although it's asynchronous, it still feels interactive thanks to his efforts in replying to us and encouraging us to think more deeply about the topics and issues. Sad it is ending soon.

Terry is a really great prof. You're expected to participate in weekly discussion posts. He responds to all discussion posts and you kind of get an idea of what he expects from you in your essays based on how he responds. It is very reading heavy though so expect to read at least 5 books during the year.

I think he really cares about his students and he is easy to reach outside of class.
