Nice guy, extremely boring class, you don't even have to show up to easily get an A, but he grades papers very harshly and will dock points like crazy for the stupidest stuff.

Andrew is the BEST! Group projects are the worst but this was fun and challenging in a good way, feedback from Andrew made the video project better and I'd take another class with him no question!!

Took this class because I thought I would enjoy it. Wrong. His grading is vague and his feedback is even more vague. He grades based on personal opinion rather than real measures. He's the professor who says "no one gets an A" even if you do A-quality work. Answers questions with questions. Extremely unclear. BUSYWORK. Should be a 4 credit class.

Andrew is quirky and introverted but he is easily the most interesting and thought-provoking lecturer I've had at UW thus far. The content in his lectures is very interesting for all types of majors, not just digital studies. His TA Meg is the absolute plug, and both are very helpful when it comes to the video project. DEFINITELY TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

Had this nerd 4 Digitally Documenting Everyday Communication, a v self-directed class where you're loosed into a semester long research project/ documentary film shoot. Andrew guides and challenges you to take a deep dive into what's meaningful in the world and to yourself. He demands,and fosters, initiative and creativity. Fantastic course.

This class was not my favorite, but Andrew is very nice. He will answer questions and further explain concepts if you need help. I think he grades too hard for a 200 level class though. Both exams are essays, which means they are completely subjective. TA grades everything else though. Don't take unless completing Digital Studies certificate.
