Why is he so obsessed with people not using technology - even laptops to take notes & wants all the attention on him? So weird - even going to the washroom hell call people out? Youre clearly a bore & no one wants to listen to you so youre trying to go on a power trip pathetic old ugly hag. Needs more attention at home so takes it out on students

The lec were wayyyyyyyy too long. There was a lot of info given in the lecs, and most of it was usless and not on the exams. The exams were very easy but the outline for the exams were unclear. Make sure you have a good TA or else this class becomes unbearable!

Comment:
Terry is a very nice professor. He is very passionate about what he teaches and I admire him for that. Personally, I did not enjoy the lectures because there are no powerpoints he just talks for two hours straight without a mic and I didn't understand. Very heavy reading approx 100-120pgs a week. two exams and two essays. overall it was mediocre.

This course involves reading, however the main part of this class is the tutorial class, because the TA's are the people who provide exams/essays/grade ur mark, etc... With my TA, Ali Hirji, I was able to enjoy the class and get the marks I aimed for really easily, because this TA went above and beyond, on helping us in every way possible, any time

A lot of readings to be done before class but they are amazingly interesting. Has a very interesting way of talking. (Sometimes goes off-track). Gives practical examples that make the topics very clear.

He does not teach. He will go on about his life and tell his personal stories and only shows videos instead of teaching what he knows. no power points nor does he write anything he only talks and he puts you to sleep with his voice and his teaching method.

terrys lectures are about 7/10 not too dry but not attention grabbing. however find a good TA as they will be the one grading your work and who you will interact the most with

Comment:
The course materials such as textbooks and course kits were very VERY expensive. I regret buying them as I didn't even use them until I was a group leader. Tutorials are really the basis to your grade. Be friendly to your TA, essays are time consuming but not hard, participate, emphasize summaries/importance of readings instead. Lectures optional.

Old-fashioned guy. No moodle or online portion. That being said, he is quite easy if you are willing to do the work. 2 essays, 2 tests and 15% for attending tutorials. As long as you do the readings, finish your work and put in effort its easy to get a good grade. The people that did poorly procrastinated. Keep up with the readings and ull be fine

Prof. Conlin is old fashion, no ppt, long reads, lectures are heavy at times but his personality is great, he is funny & cares about education& his students, you get to know this if he's your TA. His criteria in the lectures are based on those who actually want to & are there to learn, though exams & assignments are easy. Be on top of readings-long

Comment:
The lectures were really boring. 2 tests and 2 essays (which were both 8-10 pages). There is A LOT of readings. If you're a first year student, I wouldn't suggest taking this course (for your own good)! My TA was not helpful at all which made my experience in this class even worse. There are definitely easier first year SOSC courses.

This class was my last class of my long day, and I NEVER had the energy to attend. Thankfully the tutorials were extremely helpful! Lots of documentaries shown that are very dull. Terry is very nice however with his beard getting in the way of his mic, you can barely hear him even if you sit close. The reads are SO LONG and SO BORING! Exams easy

This old professor talk way too fast for me to take notes, and he doesn't use PPT slides at all. Also, his voice is so low that if you sit at the back, you will only hear mumbles

He's so boring and rambles on about his life. He does not have any lecture slides or any work online so its nearly impossible to get quality notes. I had a terrible time in his class.

Terry is an old-fashioned kind of guy. No slides online and rarely any during the lectures so get ready to read a lot. The reading load is not a small one.

Comment:
Had professor Conlin last summer. If I had to name a professor who cared the most about his teachings, it's Terry Conlin, without a doubt. Very sophisticated use of humour, very smart and knowledgeable. Professor Conlin's material and evaluation load/difficulty are decent and reasonable. Most of the texts are relevant and worth remembering.
