The course was unfortunately unfocused and unorganized, and his lack of clear expectations had bad implications of the students' grades.

I can't believe another review called the midterm hard - it was more like ridiculously easy. I had this class the first time the DCC program began, when the program didn't really know what path it was going on. What we learned was irrelevant to the program, really, but the class was pretty easy (midterm/final was just a list of terms, you choose X amount to define).

Do not join the Digital Cultures and Creativity program. This class is terrible. It is 2 credits but has homework and an actually difficult midterm. There is a project which is time consuming and stupid. Do not take this class for the free iPad like I did. Avoid at all costs.
