I sequentially build students’ visual and technical skills from the basics to complex. This process is less intimidating for students, builds on fundamental knowledge and contributes to student success in the classroom and beyond.

Students have the chance to explore a lot of different paths and perspectives here. I think this is really important for developing critical and independent thinking.

Assistant Professor of Media

Knowing each of my students and their learning styles and goals is very important to me as an educator. I want to know you so I can meet you where you are. You can't do that at a big university teaching to a lecture hall of 50-100 students.
