Professor Patterson is amazing! He is very caring, respectful, and really cares about his work and lectures. He is without a doubt one of the best professors Ive had, and I've taken courses at multiple universities and countries. His lectures are really interesting, clear, and straight to the point. I would 100% take a class with him again.Rate My Professors ↗
Dexter is a wonderful professor! He is so kind and funny during lecture and very passionate about what he teaches. The class is a good mix of group and independent projects with lots of opportunity for creative liberty. Lectures are often quick and usually don't last the full time.Rate My Professors ↗

Dr.Patterson is AMAZING! He is such a fun person with plenty of knowledge. Lectures can get a bit boring at times, but not for lack of personality- I just did not find the content interesting or necessary to pay attention to. The projects are very fun, though, with lots of space for creative freedom! He grades extremely generously and cares a lot.Rate My Professors ↗
Prof Patterson was the best! This class was super fun and interesting, especially if you're a Digital Studies certificate or interested in marketing, social media, or life sciences.Rate My Professors ↗
