Homework grading itself appears to be disorganized, and the solutions are often released late, which hinders timely learning and correction. From my perspective, the structure and delivery of this course fall below the typical standard expected within the math department.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Terry is a good or average lecturer that talk about baby rudin's book in a simplier way and generate his own notes. In addition, he gives the list for all the possible problems that could be on the each exam, which make learning and obtaining a good grade easier.Rate My Professors ↗
A very boring professor who never broke character and never smiled. Usually math is my favorite subject, but not this semester. Terry did not explain things very well and had me leaving class confused.Rate My Professors ↗
Terry Harris was an okay professor. He always seemed to be a bit frazzled and rushed, and I'm not sure if I ever saw him smile. I think he was definitely trying and seemed like a decent guy, but I would leave most lectures confused. Luckily, it is fairly easy to do well in the class by just studying the practice tests.Rate My Professors ↗
His explanations of the material felt confusing and skipping steps definitely wasn't helpful. It would definitely help if he was more organized and concise. However, he thoroughly responded to all the questions and took them seriously, which was nice. The class is annoying as virtually all of your grade comes from the three exams.Rate My Professors ↗
Terry Harris's lectures are confusing and he often talks about obscure stuff you don't need to know, without telling you that you don't need to know it. The exams weren't graded as harshly as I expected, which was nice, as you're given a lot of partial credit. However, even with this, the class was generally unbearable and put me to sleep.Rate My Professors ↗
