Comment:
This class was not that bad. You should definitely take it if you want a GPA booster. He only grades on assignment so you don't really need to go to class or section. Although, section was actually better than lecture.

Comment:
Terry is... a good informer, but a terrible teacher--and sometimes weird. You definitely have to teach yourself in his classes. For novices he goes extremely fast, but for the advanced his lectures are useless. The paper worth 50% of your grade is what you should focus on. Get a different teacher if you can, but he's manageable if you're stuck.

Comment:
Class was pointless. The assignments didn't relate to what he rambled on about during class. There were no guidelines for any of the assignments so you had no idea how you were being graded, especially for the final paper worth 55% of your grade.

Terry is a great teacher, really cares about ideas, information, technology and social media. This course was for information technology novices. It's required for the major, but about half of us had already taken more advanced courses on the same subjects, so stopped attending.

He's a very nice guy, and very enthusiastic but going class isn't worth it (half the class stopped going to class by the middle of the quarter). This class is all about self-learning. Try another prof if possible.

Terry is a great teacher! He is very knowledgeable and eager to answer questions. I had a lot of fun in his class and I hope to have him as a teacher again in the future!

Comment:
All teachers play favorites, but Brooks took it to extremes I have never before seen. If he likes you he'll spend all the time you need with you, and if he doesn't you're screwed. Knows his stuff and the class is well organized but a teacher who is too jaded to teach everybody is worthless. Very disappointing.

Comment:
I am not sure if he even understood what he was saying half of the time. He clearly knew what he was trying to teach us, but his ability to actually explain these complex ideas was lost on about 90% if the class. The speed of the class was way too fast for newbies to learn too.
