I will start by admitting the fact that I absolutely hated 1st through 12th grade. That being said, I honestly have had a blast at COTC and specifically the Digital Media program. Unlike some of the programs I have seen on campus, DMD feels the most like a family and it is because of the instructors. The teachers in the DMD program take the time to get to know you and make you feel like a member of their family. Don't get me wrong, I have not always gotten along with every single one but it has been rare.
At first it was a bit intimidating, not often do you come up against so many extremely intelligent teachers. After a while you begin to realize that they are all just as geeky (if not more...no names here) as you are. I have learned something from each and every one, even those that I have butted heads with. A person learns how to satisfy future customers by learning what each instructor wants to see in a piece of work, be it a web site or photography. Each teacher has different likes and dislikes, for instance Kathleen likes triangles and close in macro shots with nice depth of field. Adaptability is our greatest asset and learning everything you can glean from the instructors is our greatest resource.
