COMMENTS & FEEDBACK

“Professor Dwight is the most chilliest prof and guy you could ever meet. Every lecture is engaging through his charismatic presence and motion graphic transitions. Dwight, also makes learning about Adobe Suite easy for all skill levels and permotes the idea of reaching to your Top 5's through the creation of a portfolio of potential. ”

 

“Dwight creates a really chill and relaxing environment throughout all of his lab classes, and his primary goal is to ensure that you finish the semester with a good portfolio. He's pretty accessible outside of class, however, sometimes you may need to email more than once. Overall, super great guy, and super great course!”
