Didn't explain things clearly, and just repeated himself if you asked questions. Seemed like he wanted you to complete the problems before you even knew how to do them. NO TEST RETAKES AT ALL. Seems like a lot of tests also.
Worst math teacher in the history of forever. Not interested in your sucess, won't stay to help, terrible at answering questions and assumes he knows what you're going to say so he constantly interupts you VERY hard to learn from, and borderline onery. NOT a fun teacher at ALL! FIND SOMEONE ELSE It's a hard subject you need all the help you can get
I mainly took this class for a review so I found the teacher to be a good teacher. But it seems to me that if I was learning this material from scratch then I'd be very hard to learn from him, unless you're good at understanding things without much explanation. The tests were ok, multiple choice though which isn't good for math.
Very helpful, great teacher. interested in the students success.
The insturctor was very helpful and took time to answer questions. Some students tend to be unruly, but he handled them very well.
he was teaching chemistry 1010 really hard to understand, he required a paper term paper on your intrest topic and present it hard to understand him talking about his career in aircrafts i don't recommend for anyone to take his class.
Don't waste your time. Unless Math 1010 is a review for you, find a professor with good ratings. His lectures are scattered and vague, his handwriting is atrocious ("...is that a 7 or a 2?") and his explanations are incomplete at best. If Math is your strngth, then by all means. For everyone else, keep looking.
Save yourself and your soul! This guy is a joke! I don't even know how & why he is still teaching. He is a waste of your time & money! What ever you do, DO NOT TAKE MATH FROM TERRY ROYLANCE!! I'm not just saying this either. If you do take his class, don't say I didn't warn you!
i thought math teachers were supposed to know how todo math well, maybe i was wrong. iasked a question in class once, giving the Q w/ the A not knowing where one# came from and the answer i was given was: you'll have to send that to me, i cant do that right now.i wasot happyw/ teacher and advice those that havent been workin #s, find someone else
Often professor Roylance was very scatter brained in his teaching method and left the rest of problems for the students to "plug and chug". Also there was only two test reviews for the whole semester one of which was for the final. The worst part was that often times questions would show up on the test that wern't covered in homework or in class.
Awesome teacher. Very helpful.
Great teacher. I hate math! But he made it interesting.
I think the teacher was pretty good. He knew what he was talking about and made math easy for me to understand. The tests were multiple choice which always helps.
Cool teacher! Loved his stories, knows his stuff.
This teacher was the worst teacher i've had! he is so scatter brained and changes due dates constantly. He doesnt know what he is teaching and doesnt help out with students that need help after class. All in all, HORRIBLE! dont take this class waste of money. Only half of the class passes..
Worst teacher in the world. Painfully boring. Have to go to class to turn in assignments, but he doesn't actually take them.. you just say whether or not you have them. No real teaching, just goes over the example in the book. He's terrible.. boring... and often doesn't know what he's talking about. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!!
His grading has no ryme or reason, some students get extra points on their multiple choice test and some don't. On our first test the girl in front of me got 7 extra points, Out of 20 thats a lot.I recieved 99% on our group project that had 6 questions. He couldn't tell me how he broke the grading down to single percents or where I lost the 1%.
This teacher is not helpfull at all. Homework is not even looked at, read out of the book word for word. Dont bother asking a question because you will not get the answer. He pretty much just gives you the book and says there ya go. If you can teach yourself the math then this is your class. To me this class was a waste of my money and time.
Worst teacher ever. I'm not even sure he has a degree in math since our class spent most of the time correcting his problems on the board.
Professor is very confusing. He show's no passion for teaching and is simply punching in and punching out. Very low energy. Text is difficult to understand. Disorganized. In this situation you get what you pay for at the community college. Wish I could take this experience back.
horrible teacher, he was rude to the confused kids that would ask questions and look at them like they were dumb and just point to the board and say thats the answer we just showed you. he was very impatient.
Wow, could you get any easier? He doesn't even look at your homework and he let's you take exams home. I only go for extra credit.
Not sure why he is teaching Math, I took Geography and History or Social Studies from him in High School.
Beware of this so-called teacher ! I'm legally blind and he made fun of my vision impairment in class, he was not willing to accommodate my needs so I could take the tests or see the board. At 29 years old I can never recall anyone else making me feel so little about my disability! When he was asked to explain problems he got upset at repeating.
Unfortunately, this teacher is unhelpful, impatient, and unclear. You need to take impeccable notes to pass. He would write out problems on the board, but never explain what he did to get the solution. Whenever anyone would ask a question he would reply "Why don't you understand?" then move on. Expect to learn more from fellow classmates.
The structure of this class was easy and Mr. Roylance is a nice guy however his teaching is not strong. He expected everyone to know what was going on, did not explain problems all the way through and was very fast-paced. If you are not gifted at math, plan on needing a tutor or a study partner.
I took this course accelerated (so I only had half the time to complete). It may be very different in a full semester course. 3-4 assignments due twice per week. He included video lectures that explained the chapters very well and each were followed with quizes. The assignments weren't very clear, in the syllabus he put the numbers of the questions he wanted done at the end of the chapter, but then there were more than one set of questions. I don't believe he looked at the assignments. He may have glance over to make sure you had an answer for each one but if you turned in a guess (on time) for each one he gives full credit. The mid term and final exams require the testing center or a proctor. Between reading the chapters, watching videos, and and doing the assignments this class takes a lot of time. I would take this class again but in a full semester.
If you're expecting to show up a few times and pass, it won't happen. You have to be there every single time! Tons and tons of homework. I struggle with math in general and when I asked him what kind of aids were available all he said was, "Well, good luck I guess.." NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. I only passed because I hired a tutor once a week!
Very difficult. Doesn't answer questions. Good thing the book is there to save you, it's the real instructor. Expect more homework than you thought possible
Worst teacher ever. Do not take Math from Terry Roylance. He made you feel stupid when asking questions, did not take time to explain them. Taught from previous lectures already written on the board and mymathlab videos. Did not stay the whole class period, then at the end of the semester he gave us a practice exam that was nothing like the final!!
Just finished taking a 1050 class from him! Was the worst professor I have ever worked with! The practice final was nothing like the actual final! Only passed because my mom is a math teacher and taught me everything. He couldn't even answer any of our questions because I don't think he knew how to actually do it! Never take his class!!
Do not take this teacher for math!!! I spent most of my time in with the math tutors. I eventually skipped his class altogether and went straight to the tutors. I really enjoy math and still struggled with his teaching style. If you can, go to a different teacher if not wait till next semester.
Here's the thing, this course isn't hard if you put the required time into it. It's not something you can put off. Tests are 40% of your grade, they're 4 tests so just study and do well on those and you should pull a high grade in his class. The homework and video lectures aren't hard, just a little time consuming. 20 points Extra Credit Available
Easy class if you put in the work. Helpful teacher.
I took this online and it requires you to work for it. If you put in the work you can get a good grade, especially since it is graded on a curve, which is awesome. There is a lot of extra credit available and he is willing to work with you. I don't really like chemistry to begin with but this was a good class with an great teacher. 100% recommend.
HORRIBLE! DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE! I studied hours on end for the tests. The tests do not cover lecture material. I had to get a private tutor to pass! He does not explain anything.
Honestly, I hated this class. During the lectures he would have to stop and read the slide before he explained it to us because he didn't know what he was supposed to be talking about. He also had 2 separate identical slides and he read them both. Also due to COVID midsemester the class was moved to online. I havent heard from him for 3 months.
Terry Roylance is thoughtful and concerned about the students. He wants to help everyone pass this course.
Terry is a very thoughtful instructor. He has a lot of experience and tells interesting examples to illustrate Chemistry problems. This helps me understand the Chemical processes more easily. Great teacher.
I was in another Math Class and was doing very poorly because of the instructor. She just wasn't making any sense and would not listen to nor answer questions. I transferred into Terry's class and started finally understanding what was going on with the math course. Because of this experienc, several other math students transferre into Terry's
Terry knew his stuff. He helped me through this course, otherwise, I would have failed. Great Instructor. I would recommend him to anyone taking a course from him.
Terry was amazing. I was having difficulty and he saw that through my assignments and immediately began to assist in bringing up my grade. I would recommend taking a class from this professor.
This is a great professor, he seems to really care. He takes time to, not only answer questions thoroughly, but also makes sure there are no questions still unanswered. I have taken classes from him before, i.e., Chemistry and I was treated very respectfully. I have learned a lot in each of his classes. I recommend this teach.
This Professor is very interested in his students and wants to help them pass this course. Without his interest in answering every question and patience with me, I would not have passed this complicated math course.
He really knows his Chemistry and explains it in simple terms so that even I can understand it. He cares about his students, if they are passing this class. He is always checking in on us. This was a Broadcast class. I was a little nervous to take this class as a virtual broadcast course, but he delivered just as if in class. Good lecturer.
I would have received a failing grade if it wasn't for this professor going out of his way to help me through the course. He is very patient and helpful with those of us who have difficulty with math.
This professor helped me through this course. Great person
Very likeable. Help me a lot through this course.
Very nice individual. a great teacher. Helped me understand the course. When I needed help, he was always available.
I would recommend this Professor for this class.
Knows his stuff. He helped me through this course when things were going wrong in my life. Very interested in students passing his course.
For an online course, I felt that I was sitting in the class room. This instructor helped us feel like he knew us and our concerns. He really stepped up for me. I would highly recommend taking this course from this individual.
This is a very difficult subject, but this Professor helped break the material down so that even I could understand it. I would recommend this professor to anyone taking this course. Good luck all.
I would recommend this professor for this course. He understands how to teach a difficult subject clearly so that I could understand. When I was not getting or understanding the material, he took time, during and after class, to break it down so that I could understand. He helps you understand each detail of Mathematics.
Chemistry is a very difficult subject for me, but this professor breaks it down so that even I could understand. I am terrible at the sciences, but this class was not only understandable, but was made fun by the professor and his teaching abilities. I recommend this professor for any class he teaches.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR, unless you want to set yourself up to fail! This professor is terrible with lectures. Whenever I asked a question, he acted as if he didn't know his own material and answered my questions as if he was just as confused as I was. I had to teach myself through this whole class. DO NOT RECOMMEND!
Great class, great professor. I try to take any class taught by this professor. I wouldn't not have passed if it weren't for this instructor.
If you get a chance to take a class from this professor, please do so. He will help you pass any difficult class. I was lucky to have taken a class from this person. Really cares about the students.
Chemistry is very difficult and he made the material seem like everyday is just filled with normal chemistry processes. Take this class from him if you get a chance.
I was not sure when to take math, because it is very difficult for me, but he made this very easy to understand. When asked questions, he always had an easy to understand answer.
I am not sure, but I did notice one bad rating of a 1, I know this person and was in that class and she is completely wrong in her assessment. When people have a question, he takes time to break the question down in simple to understand terms. He always takes times to answer every question.
Great professor. He understands his material
I like this professor, he really has helped me pass this class. He answer ever y question clearly so that even I can understand the material.
I go to class because of his lectures. I read the material before hand and am still amazed at how much I learn from the lectures. Great teacher.
Do take this class from this processor. He is amazing.
I usually don't like math, but this professor helped me understand math for the first time and why we have math. The class was very enjoyable because of this professor. If you get a chance find and take it from him.
I made it through math because of the care given by this professor
I have taken Chemistry in High School and never really understood it. But with this professor, I not only understood it, but really learned a lot. He helped us understand Chemistry and we also made friends in class by having group sessions with other class mates. Take this class from this professor.
If you get a chance, take the class from this professor. He will help you through any difficult class. Math isn't my thing, but, I really understood it from this teach.
His lectures make math understandable. Great and caring individual.
I think he's good at teaching the subject in class. He moves a bit fast sometimes but if you say something he'll go back on the slides. If you don't show up to class, you'll most likely fail. He also grades fairly.
This Professor helped me through this course. I had to take this course and he understood that I was having difficulty. So he helped me through this course by simplifying the material for me and the class. I would take this class or any class from him again.
Math is not my strong suite, but with his help, I was able to get a decent grade. He is very caring and understanding what we, as students, are going through. He helps us along the way very carefully. I would take any course from him again.
He made a complex course simple to understand by breaking it down. He helped me through this difficult course.
I felt like the whole time he was reading off powerpoints and wasn't always teaching just making us ask eachother if we understood it I learned more through the videos on the homework and other classmates. He isn't a tough grader and let you turn things in late but have to be displined or you will fall behind.
I really enjoyed this class from this professor. I finally understand Math.
Most of these reviews are FAKE. Look at them all being on the same date with basically saying the same thing. This is not to be trusted for this teacher. What a joke that he probably wrote them himself.
This Professor was amazing. I transferred from another math class and I am glad I did. I finally began to understand the concepts with the help of this professor. He made complicated concepts easy to understand and remember.
I am so glad I took this course from this professor. He helped me through this Chemistry class. I am studying to be a nurse and felt that I needed this course and I am glad I did. He also taught the Chemistry 1110 for Nursing and he made these complicated concepts easy to remember and understand.
This was a difficult course for me, but the professor made it understandable so that I did better than I thought.
I would have failed this course without the help of this professor.
I was failing this course from another professor, I had heard about this professor, so I transferred in and made a very decent grade, thanks to Professor Roylance.
This professor Helped me through this course. Those students who attended class did great. Those that did not, had a hard time passing the course.
This professor made a complicated subject understandable.
Very helpful. His lectures were very clear and helped me pass the exams. He was very good about getting us ready to take the exams.
Amazing Math Professor! Math has always been a struggle for me especially since Covid hit and put us online/break but he made it so much easier for me to understand and inspired me to put in my best efforts towards studying and homework assignments.He gave tips, reminders and answered all of the class's questions thoroughly in depth! Take his class
He helped me through this course that I was failing.
Chemistry, for me, has always been difficult. He helped me understand the material and pass the exams.
Very Helpful and I would take any class from this Professor
I was struggling with the subject material and he took time to help me understand and pass this course with a B, which was great for me.
Look how all these reviews are fake, they all say the same thing and are on the same dates. dont TRUST!
Great Class and professor
Very insightful.
Good class, excellent teaching skills.
This professor helped me pull my grade up from a C- to an A-. Thanks.
I have struggled with math my entire life, In this class I feel I was provided with all the right tools and learned that math was enjoyable. If you struggled with math in high school I strongly recommend taking a class with Terry Roylance.
I enjoyed this class because of this professor.
He has become one of my favorite professors.
I took his class because of his high rating on this site. HOW DID HE GET RATED SO HIGH?! I was so shocked when it became clear that he was going to be difficult. Very hard to understand, makes assumptions, moves at disorganized/fast pace. Not easy to ask questions. Can't explain effectively. Promotes wrong answers. Illegible handwriting. AVOID
Wouldn't have made it through the course without someone like this.
Great Instructor
I have taken several different courses from this professor, I recommend him to anyone. Especially, if you are having difficulty in either math or chemistry. He will help you pass the course.
I wouldn't have passed without this professor's help. This was the second time I took this course. My previous professor didn't help me. I am glad I found this instructor to help me through this course.
Thanks to this professor, I passed the course with a descent grade.
Thanks to this professor, I passed this class with a good grade.
He was highly organized and helpful. He really takes an interest in his students. He knew all of our first names.
Best Professor I have ever had so far.
I have benefitted from this professor by taking Chemistry and Math from him. I have been able to move forward in a career path because of his guidance.
Very helpful. I have also taken Math from this professor. He is a good professor.
I am so glad I found this professor to take this class. This was my third time taking this class from other professors and he helped get through this class.
Glad I had this professor. I also have taken math classes from him, He does a good job.
This professor was so helpful. I had taken this class before from another person and finally passed the class with his help.
I have taken this course twice before from another instructor. Finally, Professor Roylance helped me pass this course. I have also taken math from him.
I was signed up for a combined section with online and face to face students. I was able to attend the face to face lecture even though I was technically an online student and he was so helpful! I highly recommend signing up for his class if you can!!
He is very nice and easy to talk to. Sometimes he gets confused on what he is teaching. The test are fairly easy if you watch the videos that are provided that go over the homework and the test reviews.
Great course
This is the second class I have taken from Professor Roylance. He is great and I finally understand Chemistry.
Very good at helping me understand the concepts.
This professor is very interested in helping students pass this important course. I was in the D range and asked for help and he helped bring me up to a strong B. Thanks
Your class helped me remember subjects that I took many years ago, I believe that your class will help me in my professional career. Thank you for all of your help.
Great teacher, if you have a chance take any of his classes. Very helpful.
This is the second class I have taken from this professor. He will help you through the course with his clear lectures.
Good class. Wish all my teachers were as good.
This professor was so helpful to me and my friends as we try to move forward in our nursing degrees.
This professor is very caring in helping students pass this very difficult course.
I would recommend this professor to everyone.
I am going to be a nurse and was having difficulty with this class before I re-took the class from this professor. Having taken this class before and failed, I finally found a professor that helped me through this course. He was great to help me.
I have taken this course before from another professor and failed. I decided to take this course from Professor Roylance, because I had him for a math 1010 class and liked the way he helped me. He is very knowledgeable and helped me when I was in trouble. I passed with a B+ and I am happy.
This professor helped me pass when I got way behind. Excellent teaching skills and knows the material.
This is the second class I have taken from this Professor and I am glad I did. He helped me through this class at a difficult time in my life. I appreciate his caring help.
He is the best. I was failing in the class that I had taken previously, I finally found a professor that helped me finally learn the material and pass the class with a great grade.
This is the second class I have taken from this professor. He is the best. I recommend him.
I am glad I decided to take this class from this professor. I was going to take it online, but decided I needed the extra help. I did receive the extra help. Go to class everyday and you will pass with a good grade.
This professor is very good at helping us understand how important it is to participate and not waste our tuition money. Once I learned that, I started succeeding in class. He is very good about understanding and helping us learn and pass the course.
This Professor help me go from a D to a B for my final grade. I also took him for Chem, he is great.
I heard a lot of good things about this professor from my friends that had taken other classes from him. I am glad that I listened, he helped me understand math for the first time in my life. I would take any class from this professor, he is very interested in helping his student understand the material.
I heard a lot of good things about this instructor and I was not disappointed. Definitely take this class from him.
IF you get a chance, sign up for a class taught by Professor Roylance. He is very interested in helping all students pass the class. His lectures are to the point and easy to follow. Once I realized that I needed to attend each lecture class, my grade began to improve dramatically.
I am glad I chose this professor, he was very helpful and helped me through this difficult course. I am going to be a nurse and needed to pass this course.
Roylance's class wasn't difficult and it provided me with the flexibility of going at my own pace so long as I kept up with lecture. But, I mostly had to learn things on my own via doing the homework and reading the lecture notes. 6 exams including the final, one is dropped including the final. Homework could be turned in late with no credit lost.
I wasn't sure who to take for this course. A friend said that she had taken it from Professor Roylance and liked him and the course. So, I took it from him. I am glad I did, he helped me pass this interesting somewhat difficult course.
if you are looking for a professor to take a class from, any class, Professor Roylance is the one I would recommend. He Help me tremendously and really cares about student's success.
I'm convinced these 5's are done by one person. Good guy, NOT good educator. I was so confused. I'd ask a question and remain confused. An older lady stated that there was too much reading. After class he told her she could get extra help if she had a disability! She was an A student! Might as well have been an online class. I learned from canvas.
He helped me understand the material
I was really grateful that I chose this person to take this class. I am not very good at math, but he made it easy for me to understand. I needed extra help and he was right there to help me, even into the late evening by computer, email, text, etc.
He helped me through the course. I am an ok student, but math is a little difficult, his lectures helped me through the course, even more than a tutor would. Take this class from him if you get a chance.
Good class. I would take any class from this professor.
I like the way he lectures and the clear understanding of Chem facts.
Good Class
He is very helpful Especially, in helping me pass this course. This is the second time I took this course. Previously it was from a different instructor.
I struggled with Chemistry so much, this was my 3rd time taking this course and Terry was so amazing and willing to work with me and help me understand. He is very caring about all his students in his class he wants all of us to succeed. If I had to take this class again he would be the teacher I choose. Terry is just the best!
I struggled with understanding chem , but professor goes step by step to understanding the problems also he is very caring wants all his students to pass he also gives extra credit assignments to do
Terry is amazing his lectures are engaging and easy to understand. He always looks out for his students and will do everything he can to pass you. His course consists of 5 tests with the option to drop one and a handful of homework assisgnments. I would recommend this class, everyone should take Chem with professor Roylance.
I would not have passed this course without this professor's help. Very easy to understand the concepts from his lectures. He likes to have students help with the discussions. He sometimes makes mistakes on purpose to see if anyone catches them. Then goes back and explains what we should be looking for.
Take Terry if you can! The best of all of them. I am finally convinced that one can know their subject of teaching well. Terry was really knowledgeable about Chem and made sure we were too. Never made us feel slow for not knowing things but was rather making sure we were all clear on things by the end of class.
No matter who you take Chem with, it's indeed a difficult class but with Terry you will at least feel like you are getting what you paid for. He is the most caring and knowledgeable about his field. Well prepared and always used real world relations to help us understand concepts. He is also willing to stay after class and go over questions withcha
Finally took a class with someone who actually knowns what he is teaching about and is passionate about teaching those who struggle.
Terry is a nice teacher; he cares about his students. He really wants to explain everything until I understand it. Please be kind and patient with him, because he really wants to teach his students. It is better than learning by yourself. If you need help with homework or have any questions, he will help you for sure.
I have a friend that wrote a review on this professor and this student did not study nor come to class and did poorly in the class. She blamed the professor for her troubles. I don't think that is right. I had a good time in the class, it was very informative and Terry did a great job of caring and helping all of us succeed.
I noticed in the comments, by a student I know bad that they thought, because the submission dates were the same, that they were written by one student. I was one of those students and my friends in the class, it was the end of the semester at the time students to submit their reviews. So we and my friends submitted the reviews at the same time
I would have failed this class again if it wasn't for the assistance of Professor Roylance. Very helpful and caring for each student.
Terry is very knowledgeable about chemistry. His handwriting is difficult to read and he stands in front of what he is writing on the board. Get the "lecture notes" from someone in a different chem class because he doesn't share them until later, and watch the Mary Alvarez videos BEFORE his lectures and you'll do well. He cares about students.
Take any class you can from this professor. He will help you understand and pass the course.
Good class. I enjoy his lectures. He is very understandable and very helpful to each student.
Terry was very helpful as I was not doing so good in the class. He helped me pass with a good grade.
Even though Chemistry can be complicated, this professor makes it understandable and will help you pass. Open book exams for Chem 1010.
This professor really cares about students and helped me pass this course. I would encourage taking any course from this professor. Professor Terry will help you pass the course.
I am glad I took this course from Professor Terry, He answered all my questions and helped me pass the course when I was failing the last time I took this course.
This was a wonderful professor. Thanks.
Great Professor. Just know he is the best.
Most of my classmates took this course from Terry, because of others high ratings for him. He did not disappoint, he is very caring and is a good teacher.
I took this course from this professor because of my classmates that said great things about his teaching style. I was not disappointed. I passed this course because of Terry. You won't go wrong by taking this course from him.
Dod a great job in helping me through this class. This was the second time I took this class. I appreciate his great help.
This Professor did not disappoint. He was everything that I had heard from my fellow students. He helped me pass this course.
This Professor did not disappoint. He was everything that I had heard from my fellow students. He helped me pass this course. He is very caring and helps you pass the course.
He expects you to be in class, though I didn't attend other than first day. Still marked at 100% attendance. Do the homework assignments, and study for the exams and you'll do great.
Looks like the site accidently duplicated the last rating. I liked this professor; he was very helpful and understandable. He made sure we understood the material before moving on.
This professor expects you to try, if you do, he will help you pass the course. No matter who teaches the course, this is my second time, it is a difficult course. Terry broke down the material to make it very understandable to the point that I actually enjoyed the class.
Even though this is an elementary course, chemistry, for me is very difficult. Professor Terry made the material interesting, fun and easy to pass. Now I like chemistry.
Professor Terry was very helpful. This is the second time I have taken this course. The first time was from another instructor and I failed the class. This time Professor Terry really helped me understand what I was missing in the concepts and I pulled my grade up to a B. Take this class or any class from him.
I am extremely glad that I took this class from this professor. I have taken this class before from a different professor and didn't do very good. Terry helped me pass the class with a good grade. He helped me understand complicated concepts;.
Math has always been difficult for me. I have taken Math 1010 once before and here I am having to take it again. This Professor helped me understand these difficult concepts. If you get a chance, take it from Terry and you won't regret it.
Professor Roylance is a great teacher - very caring and helpful. The class is challenging but manageable with the right strategies, like using unstuck AI alongside the textbook.
He really helped me improve my grade and pass the course.
Great class and interesting a professional instructor.
The best Chemistry teacher I have ever had. If you struggle with understanding chemistry please try taking a course with Mary, she gives you so many resources to use. And she is so helpful, I never really understood until I took a course from her. She will not waste your time! Multiple choice only exams ;)
I took this class to fulfill a science requirement, but I enjoyed the course work and the professor so much that I am thinking of going into chemistry. You won't regret taking this class from Prof Terry.
I was really surprised how well I was able to interface with the material and this professor for this online course. Normally, an online course leaves me to do all the work without support, but not so with this professor. He was always there to answer questions and assist with Zoom assistance.
He literally helped me pass with a grade I didn't think I'd EVER receive in Chem1010. All of his test are take home, except for the mid-term and the final, but he lets you have a full page of notes on those. I also BOMBED the final, I emailed him, he got back to me in 5 mins and bumped up my exam grade and gave me 11 extra points so I could pass.
Professor Roylance is an excellent teacher! He goes through concepts thoroughly and happily answer any questions you may have. Professor Roylance is easy to get ahold of via email after class. He is more than willing to fix any grading mistakes that happen on canvas. I'd take any chemistry class with him again.
I am a little late in posting this, but I really enjoyed taking this class from Professor Terry. He was so caring and helpful, especially, when I got behind and he helped me catch up. I missed an exam and he reminded me and gave me a chance to take it later. I would take any class from him.
I really liked this course. I was afraid of taking Chemistry, but because of my major, it was required. This professor really helped me pass and like Chemistry.
Avoid if possible. I don't see what others see in him. He's a nice enough guy but if chem doesn't come naturally to you he's the worst lecturer. The more he talks the more confused you'll end up. If it wasn't for chem videos and YouTube I'd be retaking this class again.
I was with the last person that rated this professor and he very seldom attended class. I was always complaining about something. I see these people that blame everyone else but themselves. This was a great class and professor Terry did a great job.
Thanks to professor Terry so much for rounding up my grade I really appreciate his kindness. More importantly, I thank him for everything he did for me this semester to pass this course. His support, patience, and the way he explained the material made a huge difference for me. I truly learned a lot.
I finally passed my Math class because of this professor. I previously took this class from another professor and didn't pass. I heard from my friends that I should try Professor Terry and I did and finally passed. He takes an interest in helping all students pass this course. His lectures are very understandable.
I really like this professors teaching style. He helped me through this most difficult course.
Chem is tough no matter who you take it with, but if you put in the effort, you can do well. Professor Roylance really cares and wants you to succeed don't be afraid to ask for help. Also, Professor Alvarez's videos are super helpful, so definitely check those out.
If you get a chance take any class from this professor. I couldn't have passed without his great lectures.
If you get a chance take Math from this professor. This was the second time I took Math 1010, it can be a difficult class. But professor Terry helped me pass this course.
For me, math has always been difficult. But I needed this course to go on in the medical field. Professor Terry, not only understands and teaches in the medical field, but is an expert in Math. He helped me understand the complexities of this Math course. I would recommend him to anyone required to take math 1010.
Math 1010 is a tough class to pass. If you want to pass this class, take this course from Professor Terry R. He is the best.
I really liked this professor because he made the complicated easy to understand. When I needed help, he was there to assist and help me pass the class. I also took Chem from him. Same result.
Great professor and very understandable lectures. Would take any class from Professor Terry.
I was failing when I first took this class from another professor, then I switched and he helped me pass this course with a strong B. Yes, take any class from this professor.
Professor Terry really helped with this class, Chem 1010. If you are having difficulty with this subject, he really helps you understand the material and pass the class.
Clear expectations were not given about the structure of class and grading. His handwriting is hard to read, explanations unclear, and takes a lot to explain your question to him. Big issue with the homework due dates and i noticed he wanted to fix them but didn't know how to use canvas to change the due dates and reopen the homework assignments
It is interesting to see how different students view each professor. The two previous students I know and they didn't really ever show up for class, but wanted to blame the instructor. This professor has helped me tremendously to understand this material.
Math has always been difficult for me. But, with the help of this professor, I was able to get a decent grade. If you can get into his class. Do it.
A rocky start with the (new to him) implementation of Lumen Learning in Canvas; this was eventually resolved. Takes the time to actually walk through the steps without over-relying on the book. Handwriting is messy but legible. A very fair grader. Takes work whenever you complete it with no late work penalties. Would take again in a heartbeat!
If you get a chance to take any class from this professor, do it. He is great and very humble.
Even though I only received a B, I actually failed this class from a previous professor. Professor Terry was so clear in his lectures, that I finally began to understand the material and passed the class. Take this class from him.
At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to stay in his class, maybe it was because I was distracted with homelife. But after the second session, I began for the first time to understand math. This was a new experience for me. His lectures are so clear and understandable. He goes over every step so that even I could understand it.
I received a solid B in this class. Now to me that was a great grade because I am terrible at math. This is the first math professor I have ever had that made sense when he lectured. No trying to look smart or not showing each step, just talking and showing us how to solve the problem so that we could stand alone and take the exams.
If you get a chance, take any class that he teaches. Helped me pass this course with a very descent grade.
If you get a chance take any course from this professor. His classes fill up very fast.
Great professor and very clear lectures. By teaching step by step, I was able to do well this this class.
I took this professor for Chem 1110 and he was amazing. Then I took him again for math and his lectures are so understandable for both. Any class that he teaches, take it. You won't regret it.
Take from this professor. He is great.
Great Professor in every way.
Does a good job. Take any class from Professor Terry.
I know I only received a B, but I have always done terrible in math. This is the first professor that made sense to me in his lectures. He goes through each step and that made all the difference in the world.
I really liked this Professor. He cared when I wasn't doing very well and helped me bring my grade up.
Good professor. Take Math from Professor Terry.
Good Professor
This is the second time I took this course. The first time was from a different professor. This professor helped me pass this course with a good grade.
Good teacher.
Chemistry has always been difficult for me. But for my career choice, I needed this class. With this professors help, I would not have passed this class, especially with a high grade of a B.
I had taken this class 3 times prior, and was away from school for 10 years and even getting pregnant half way through the semester, this teach helped me. Extremely kind and gentle. Math is hard but he helps with reviews right before exam and flexible w DD. I am beyond thankful for this professor.
This was the second time I took this course from another professor. Taking this course from Professor Terry changed everything. I finally understood the material and did great in the class.
This Professor will help you through this difficult course. You can depend on him.
Very good professor. Take any course from this professor. He will help you get through the course.
Terry Roylance was an excellent professor that took time to make sure his students understood material.
Professor Terry works hard to make sure that students not only understand the material, but they can pass the course.
Very good Professor
If you get a chance, take any class from this professor. He is an excellent teacher.
