The greatest teacher I have ever had!- even before college
Terry is the best! funny and amousing
Terry is the best teacher at UCC. Loves his work. Enegetic. Hi from korea!
Very helpful and fun. Loves his work. Very animated.
Very inspiring despite dry course material.
Terry Quotes. Well, that's when it gets tricky I am not arguing with you
kool teacher man!!!!!
Great speaker, good attitude,interesting, and funny. Passionate about his job.
Awsome guy. Super nice and really fair!
Who knew politics could be interesting. Hard but fair marker. Great prof but wears the carpet down from pacing too much.
I thought his course was going to be as stale as week-old toast but instead found myself throughly enjoying his energy and quick mind. Great teacher, I highly recommend his class.
Awesome! Makes me want to be a politician! heehee
Viza vee. and i'm gunna be honest with you here.
Funny, creative, keeps things interesting!
Took it for an upper level credit butcame out of the course interested in Canadian politics!
Terry is nice, passionate about what he teaches, and helpful. He makes the class interesting. He's funny! I would recommend him to anyone. Fair marker!
Paced back and forth so many times he wore a hole in the floor. Talks with his hands. Try counting how many times he says "like". Quirky, but Excellent Prof.
Wore the same shirt all the time, but my god made up for it in teaching! Terry is the most unbiased, insightful, humourous prof. Enter ignorant, leave with your mind FULL.
Smart guy, good communicator, great prof
he does wear that same outfit a lot.... very passionate....talks with those hands like he's italian! great teacher
Terry is an excellent professor. He has a gift for laying out the information in a very accessible and unbiased manner, and for engaging the class in debate. I highly recommend that everyone take contemporary Ideologies with Kadding, and more from there
He wears the same ol' baggy black sweater everyday, but that's okay, since he's a great teacher. He explains everything well, however, he likes to talk FOREVER, so don't take his class if you have one in the Science building right after!
Terry is THE best prof at UCC. I have taken several courses with him and he's the reason why I chose to minor in Political Science. Very fair grading / exams, excellent enthusiasm - makes you care about what's going on in the World!
His lectures, both verbally and physically (and for Terry, a lecture is a very physical - and I imagine exhausting - event) glide from mannerism to awkward mannerism with scarcely a normal gesture or a complete sentance in between. And yet you can't help loving him! He is a class act & a great prof.
Terry is one of my favourite teachers at TRU/UCC! He's a very knowledgable prof that always turns borring content and turns it into a comedy routine to make it interesting! Overall, Terry really loves what he's doing and it rubs off on his students for them to do well in the course: i did!
he was the best teacher ive had so far
Wasn't too stoked on taking this class, but Kading is amazing. He's quirky and makes class fun and interesting.
One of the most entertaining and informative professors teaching here. Every class I've had with him is a hoot! Very student-centered and available. (Currently on sabbatical.)
He loves what he does, and whats better is he gets you to love it as well!! Finally a teacher that cares, the best I've had in six years
Terry is great. He is clear, interesting and shows a genuine interest in what his students have to say. His teaching style and classes made me minor in Poli Sci.
awesome, clear, informative, hilarious... I recommend his classes to anyone and everyone.

Terry Kadding is easily the best prof I've had in my 3 years of post-secondary education. He really engages the class, presents information clearly and in an interesting manner, and is passionate about the material. I can still see him frantically pacing the room, coffee in hand, opening up worlds to students, & giggling maniacally all the while.
I thought I'd fall asleep or just skip alot of my late night class with Terry but it's the highlight of my week! But can that much coffee and lemon flavoured water be good for a person? lol. Terry rocks!!
Terry has turned all my ideas of contemporary political ideologies upside down and inside out-in other words, he has done his job, and has done it well. I would recommend taking this class to take you out of complacency.
Good teacher, and a very interesting class. His exams were pretty hard though, you gotta read and know the book well.
Great prof! Passionate about what he teaches and very dynamic. He is constantly moving, which strangely draws your attention to him at all times. His tests are a bit tough, but everything you need to know is on overheads and he gives you plenty of time to copy the notes. The topics are interesting, even if poli sci isn't your thing.
Great guy. Very clear and straightforward notes and lectures... great for those of us who dont know much about poli sci :)
Really fun teacher who makes politics really interesting! Our class had really good discussions about all the issues. Only 3 essays, and we didn't use the textbook for much more than getting references. Can that much lemon water be good for a person?
Terry is an incredible prof who really knows his stuff, but is in no way arrogant about it. He encourages class discussion and questions and is always willing to help a student get a higher grade if he/she is willing to try. His classes are always entertaining and his sarcasm and insight will crack you up!
Made Poli 1110 an interesting and even entertaining course despite the otherwise dry content he had to teach. Very approachable, great at answering questions, and always willing to answer them. Dreaded taking the course initially, but it ended up being one of my favorites!
Great Prof!! He makes political science and the government/politics of Canada interesting! He keeps you engaged the entire class
Terry is a great teacher. He makes Politics very interesting. He can become distracting with his pacing though.
Terry is a great teacher - he makes politics interesting and engaging :)
Terry is a great prof, and makes political science fun! His notes are fantastic, he explains everything well, and makes the information fun and enjoyable.
Good teacher, explains the subject very well and can answer any question with a good answer. Grades fairly, likes lots of evidence from the textbook in opinion papers. Wasn't a big fan of the textbook (political ideologies H.B. McCullough)
Great and enthusiastic teacher! Both helpful and knowledgable on material. He made political science interesting and generated good conversation relevant to course material.
I love his class man!!!
Extremely enthusiastic, really good teacher, super clear about everything.
Very interesting class and Terry is always a great lecturer. Never a boring moment when he teaches.
Great class and great prof! It was one of my fav classes of the term. Terry made politics interesting and fun to learn. I recommend his classes!
Very good teacher.. amazing
Amazing teacher, lessons are all very enthusiastic and engaging.
Interesting lectures and easy assignments.
Lots of notes, but you learn so much in Kading's class.
Terry was great - lectures were interesting, notes were good and he's got a great sense of humour. He marks his papers tough, but if you work hard and know your stuff it's not too bad. Very understanding about extensions (if needed) and personal issues. Highly recommend!
great teacher, all the ladies must have a crush on him!
Incredibly interesting lectures, but don't be surprised if and when your essays get a far weaker mark than you expected. I usually get A's on essays but I'm pulling crappy B's with his class. The exams are easy to ace with perfect marks as long as you attend class and study, though, so I guess it balances out if you're worried about your GPA.
Loved Terry! He makes political science really interesting and his lectures are super easy to follow. His papers are straight forward, and as long as you attend classes you'll do fine. Would definitely take another class with him!
He is probably my favourite professor I've had so far. Prepare for jokes and pronounced hand gestures, but the guy gives lectures that are both informative and humorous, and always welcomes class discussion. I would also describe him as fairly unbiased, as he can convincingly argue for any ideology.
Poli 1210 with Terry was amazing! Honestly, I loved Poli Sci so much with Terry I'm planning on dropping out of my bachelor of science program and taking political science instead! Great teacher and great class.
Terry was really passionate with the subject with made the classes fine to go to the only problem was that each test question is out of 15-20 marks even if you can't write very many things on the subject. Textbook was also only used for papers but if you didn't provide examples you get a bad grade.
Terry is such a kind guy. He just bops around and swings his arms everywhere. He is really knowledgable about politics. I'd definitely recommend taking this class, especially if you're just getting into politics, he explains everything very clearly. He doesn't have a moodle so you have to show up to every class
Terry is so funny, he is always swinging his body around and giggling during lectures. Very fair grader, tests are easy as long as you have copied all the notes down. The papers have interesting topics and he teaches without bias. I learned so much from this class, very clear teaching style.
amazing professor. I have never had so much fun learning about politics and the ideologies. Would recommend his class to any individual. He was fun, straight forward and got to the point. Fairly easy grading, midterm/final were not very difficult.
Good prof, keeps things light can drift off topic tests are very straight forward. Tough grader on the papers. Talks with his hands a lot.
Terry is great at political science, his lectures were very informative and interesting. If you do what he asks on his papers, you will do well on them. His tests are easy as long as you have copied down all of the powerpoint notes, he doesn't have Moodle, so make sure you attend every class. He keeps you entertained with his hand gestures.
Very sweet. Definitely hard falling asleep or skipping his classes
Awesome prof. He is very engaging and loves opinions during his lectures which makes for a really fun and open learning environment. Plus he isn't biased to any political view that obviously goes hand in hand with politics. I would highly recommend taking any of his courses
Awesome prof. Very engaging, great at arguing for any position and fair with grades and expectations. Moves around and gestures a lot. He's very good at painting a big picture. Goes off on interesting tangents, but always makes sure to bring it back to the main point. Very funny.
Terry is honestly the best prof at this terrible university. He is super fun and engaging. He makes all his lectures super interesting, and is always available outside of class to help. He also gives very helpful feedback, and is just a funny dude. Super laid back, and his assignments are a breeze. Honestly a gem.
Terry was one of the best profs for POLI 1100 take this course to be inspired. And actually feel like youre learning something
Ive had Terry three times now and he's a great prof. Interesting lectures, easy marker, and overall great guy. He's flexible with due dates and is very easy going. Take him if you can !
Ive had Terry many times throughout my schooling at TRU and he is one of the best. Hes quite possibly the best marker & has such a passion for the material in the class. The books you read are enjoyable and not too hefty either. Terry is truly one of the best at TRU & you will enjoy his classes. Any class he offers is amazing, trust me
Terry is one of the best profs I have had. He is super nice and gives awesome lectures. He clearly wants everyone to succeed in his class, and is an easier grader too. I have already registered to take another class with him. Highly recommend.
Was good with giving an extension. Papers are not difficult (add a little personality for better grade), also on interesting and relevant topics. Also interesting lectures, dont miss though cause his notes are just not the same. He is passionate and is open to class conversation. Good textbook too. Learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed class.
I was never interested in politics prior to taking this class. Terry is such a fantastic prof who made learning exciting and I thoroughly enjoyed going to every lecture. Possibly my favorite prof I've ever had. Would absolutely recommend taking a class with him if you can.
Terry is a good professor. Although his lectures can be boring sometimes, his courses are pretty straight forward. No matter the class, for whatever reason he disses on Canada. ALWAYS! He makes it seem like it isn't one of the best countries in the world, and when he laughs none of the class finds it funny.
He is one of the professors I will remember for the rest of my life. His passion in his teaching, kindness, and engagement in class what makes me want to keep taking more classes with him. As long as you show an understanding in his work, give examples, and attend his classes - you'll easily pass.
Wonderful professor and his classes were so interesting
I absolutely loved his class! His lectures were amazing and I always looked forward to his class! Super easy, just go to class and get the ppt notes and you will easily pass. He is very enthusiastic and passionate and I would 10000% take his class again! Terry really cares for his students
