Terry is the MAN, literally. He was a great professor and definitely provides a neat perspective as a consultant. The project is lengthy and intense, when he says to start early, LISTEN. He is interesting and cares about his student's success. Helpful in office hours and in lecture. If you go to lecture and discussion, the exams will be easy.Rate My Professors ↗
Great! Terry was super nice, knew how to answer questions well, and his exams were extremely fair - you have a lot of practice on the exact stuff which will show up on an exam and he doesn't test you on anything you didn't explicitly cover. The homework assigned and project requirements are very extensive and time consuming, so prepare for that.Rate My Professors ↗
He has a super strict attendance policy (no excused absences) which is stressful, leads to people coming in sick, etc. However, the man knows what he's talking about, loves to answer questions, etc. Assignment details were confusing/difficult to find but he was always happy to clarify.Rate My Professors ↗

Overall, Terry is a good professor. His lectures are pretty dull but that's primarily thanks to the content of 315. The project for the class is extremely time-consuming and very little guidance is given so be prepared to go to office hours. Not my favorite class, but as a consultant Terry did add some interesting perspective.Rate My Professors ↗
Terry is one of the best profs I've had at UW. He's a part time professor and also a consultant, so he has awesome real world examples. He gives tons of extra credit, so take advantage. There's a lot of info in the class but if you just read the lecture slides and go to discussion you'll do well. Discussion was huge for application of formulasRate My Professors ↗
