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.

I am responding to your first paragraph even before I finish reading the rest! I totally agree with you about the instructors...they have been the best so far!
The rest of your post is right on target too. I have felt like I belong more with this group than any other classes that I have taken. I am not overly technologically savvy, but I enjoy working with computers and all the different software programs you can use and working with these instructors has been very nice! Great post!
I am afraid I am one of the real geeky ones. Great post and I looooovvvve your icon. How many of your instructors can sing along with RHPS and know the words, routines, dances and audience responses? Deb says my gay is showing when I sing along - I actually had to watch Glee last week!
Lets do the time warp again......................!
Your words "Adaptability is our greatest asset and learning everything you can glean from the instructors is our greatest resource" will stick with me for a while!
@Andie: Thanks! :)
@Russell: You and Kathleen are the top two in the "real geek" list. :) I just DVRed RHPS yesterday so I can watch it again.
@Kay: The longer you are in the program the more important that statement becomes. :)
