The most amazing professor out there! Will go to ANY length to help students succeed. Has such a passion for teaching and makes the subject matter interesting and makes VERY difficult topics understandable. Will remember the rest of your life!
Digh is awsome! He is always there to help you in anyway, unlike some other professors (eecchheem.. white... eeccccheeemm bonk) sorry something in my throat. Anyway, he is a great teacher and some other professors should follow his example.
Digh is cool as crap... if you take him for CSC204 and 205 his courses are easy
A great teacher. Cool as crap. Very enthusiastic about csc. Makes class fun.
No Comments
He gives good notes, thats about it. Plays heavy favorites with the students, if your on the programming team, he loves you. Also is very hard for no reason at all.
Great professor. Incredible notes. REALLY entusiastic. Hard as all get out for 245. You'll learn a ton though.
Expects way too much from the students. Very good teacher, good notes. Shakes your hand TOO much. Tests are very very difficult.
Awesome teacher. Does shake hands a lot. Also does seem to take favorites, but he knows what he is talking about and is always creative with in class examples.
Big Ego Guy...Digh! Struttin' his stuff...Dizzle!
Dr. Digh is the bomb. He is a great professor, he gives you all the class notes in handouts. The only thing is that he makes his tests unreasonably hard for no apparent reason. He is always willing to help.
His quizes are like tests, his tests are like exams, and his exams are insane. He expects much too much from student. He is nice in class, but he is not very good at helping with programs. If you get on his good side and suck up, you will have no problems
He loves dumplings.
Fathers, hide your daughters. Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
He's a great teacher. Hard as marble though! Only gets out of a '1' because he's great about handouts, notes, study guides and help. Pretty good lecturer, and good course 'flow' of assignments and tests.
At least Dr. Digh tried to make the course as easy as possible, but 245 has just way too much stuff to learn about. The good thing about Dr. Digh is that you'll be ready to take the MFAT if you're a computer science major. You'll remember the stuff.
Very helpful, interested in students. I did not consider his tests to be difficult, you just have to be on the ball at all times.
Awesome teacher. A little tough but he truly cares about you understanding and succeeding. Very friendly with great personallity. My favorite teacher of any I have taken.
He's a great guy and a good teacher. Although the class is a bit disorganized (what can you expect from SCI?), he does his best to keep things moving and keep everyone interested. He does go a little crazy with the handouts-- over a hundred pages alre
Great professor, great guy. Always there if you help, very reasonable and down to Earth. Recommended to anyone.
He is the best Professor I ever had in my life !!!! If someone asks me to rate all my professors from high school to gradschool, then I would rank him as #1. He is commited to his work and students. His lectures are very well organized. I would recommend everyone to take his class.
Dr. Digh is awesome...
He is a wonderful teacher that really desires for his students to learn. His class offered some new and interesting experiences that were not the least bit painful because of his excellent skills in handling classes. He is a great man that is dedicated to his work.
Dr.Digh is the absolute best teacher to take for SCI INQ or probably any class really. I loved Dr.Digh so much that I will probably take one of his computer classes. As long as you do the work...you will totally be fine in this class. I would highly recommend him.
Digh is an easy and good teacher. Attendance is only a small fraction of grade... helps any student out if you ask him to.
Best.CSC.professor.ever.
He is kind and tries to help, but he has some problems. His programming assignments are badly written up and can be very confusing and place awkward restrioctions on the program design. When asked for help he often just stands there with a grin on his face for upwards of 5 minutes and doesn't say anything. He is also just plain wrong sometimes.
Awesome teacher. Cool as crap. VERY enthusiastic. Makes class fun.
The tightest teacher I have ever had and I miss him a lot. Very nice and welcoming to Mercer. He made a huge difference for me starting out.
Very good professor. Willing to help students and make the transition to college easier. Very nice guy.
I enjoyed Dr. Digh's enthusiasm for teaching the course, and his willingness to help students. Great course projects.
He's always up-to-date about what's happening on and off campus, and he encourages students to get involved. He always has a smile and a greeting. He's VERY flexible about assignments, but he just wants students to do well...
Dr. Digh is the coolest professor you can have! I liked his computer science class so much that I'm taking his scientific inquiry class next year. He's amazing, and the class work is so easy! TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
Dr. Digh is an advocate for each and every Mercer student. He is passionate about his job and has a gigantic heart. Although his class seemed to have a lot of busywork, I learned a lot and had a blast while doing it. Dr. Digh is a huge asset to Mercer and I recommend you take at least one class with him while here.
Scientific Inquiry is a boring class and isn't much fun, but Dr. Digh really tries to get you involved and has a ton of handouts. just hold on to those and turn in stuff on time and you'll be fine.
This guy was totally awesome and I wish I had the chance to take him again. I hard he's difficult when it comes to actual computer class, but he's very open and you can ask him for help at any point(open door policy). He was also very enthusiastic and made it a point to know who you were, for better or worse.
I love Dr. Digh.
Dr. Digh is totally awesome. He's super nice and crazy good at programming. His tests are fairly tough but if you pay attention in class they're fine. Turn in projects early: You get extra points and such. Don't goof off on the computers during class cause he'll call you out about it. Loves Disney World. Can give you a handshake like a pro.

Plays heavy favorites, projects are poorly written, assumes you have prior C++ experience. Not sure if that makes him a good professor or bad, depends if you are one of his favorites.
Doc is the man. He's always there for you if you need him. The work is really hard if you've never done programming before, but if you try your best and get help from Doc, you'll do just fine. He travels more than any other professor I know, especially to Disney World. Ignore the comment below.
I took this class a couple years ago, and I just wanted to say that this professor really likes his programming team students. He is the coach and he tends to favor them over students. When you email him, he gives you the answers to the programs. I would recommend this class only to his favored students. Otherwise, its a hassle.
Dr. Digh is a wonderful person and superb teacher. He knows how to communicate and relate to his students; he's capable of breaking down any problem in the most simple terms if necessary. Easy to approach, Dr. Digh always makes time for his students as he obviously values their education and friendship above all else.
Dr. Digh is AWESOME! He's so caring, friendly, devoted, and enthusiastic. You'll be impressed by his broad knowledge, his affability, his SMILE, his incerdibly well-prepared materials in class, and his interest in getting to know you! Dr. Digh is the best professor at Mercer. He once even called me to let me know my final exam grade. He's CUTE! ;P
One word: AWESOME!
He requires a lot for this class. more than any professor in this school i think for sci enq. But i learned A TON and had a lot of fun in the groups! But he is still the man and I love the guy. I made an A whatt whattttt sonnn
freakin great take him first
He's a coach so of course he has favorites but so what! If you can't pass his class then it's your own fault. You need to do the readings and write a few essays but other than that the class was all fun group projects. I highly recommend!

Dr. Digh is a wonderful teacher with a passion for his field and a heart for teaching. He loves helping others succeed and will be willing to help you whenever you need it. Take him!
Doctor Digh is the best. Period.
Doc is the boss. Had him for 205. He's a great professor. His greatest quality is consistency & clarity in presentation. Don't let his enthusiasm for the subject put you off -- he knows what he's talking about. I'd highly recommend taking _any_ of his classes. Buy a 3" binder for his class, he gives lots of handouts. A++
Dr. Digh is very enthusiastic about what he teaches and knows the material well. Granted, his tests and exams are very hard, but if you show him you're working hard and go to his office hours, he'll definately help you out.
Good Teacher, Hard material in the class. He cares a lot about each and every student as long as you aren't particularly difficult and you show at least a little effort. He is extremely smart, somewhat awkward, but all around one of my favorite teachers ever!
The best professor this school ever hired. You will be hard pressed to find someone else with a more vested interested in his individual students. His notes and lectures are thorough. His tests are difficult enough. Dr. Digh is the man.
Gorgeous man. His quizzes are like exams. If you study enough and ask him questions, he will love you.
Dr. Digh is the man. He is the best professor at Mercer. He actually loves to teach. He is obsessed with Disney World. Study hard and you will pass the class. He is funny and VERY cute. I cant keep my eyes off of him.
I cant keep my eyes off of dr. Digh. He is definitely eye candy. He is a wonderful professor. You learn alot of stuff but you will remember everything. His quizzes are more like exams. He will help you if you dont understand something. He makes the class fun.
In life there will be a handful of people you are grateful to have come across. Dr.Digh is one of those people. If you get the chance, then take him it will be a great decision on your part.
Dr. Digh is a wonderful person and professor! He genuinely cares about his students and makes a point to personally connect with each student, making sure that everyone understands the material. Material may be difficult, but he is very easy to follow.
Really nice guy, good intro teacher. Tries to make a very difficult subject accessible.
Dr. Digh is the best Professor at Mercer. He cares about all his students and makes complex topics easy to comprehend and learn for people outside of computer science field.
Dr. Digh is a kindhearted man that is willing to do whatever it takes to help you if you are struggling. If you participate and give him effort, he will be your favorite.
Dr. Digh is a fantastic person, great coach, and all around outstanding professor. I would easily take classes with him given the option.
I wish all professors were as dedicated to their subject and students as Dr. Digh is. The material was exceedingly difficult, but he did an excellent job of making it understandable. He worked hard to engage students and keep things interesting. Tests were hugely difficult but there were many extra credit opportunities. Definitely recommend.
Dr Digh is the real gem. I cannot tell you how indebted I am to Dr Digh. 2am reponse, that's Dr Digh. Silly music to start the class, Dr Digh. Send email to ask what happened if you're absent, Dr Digh. Office always full of students that needed support, Dr Digh. I can go on for days. His class is challenging, but you'll definitely want him.
I took his class online over the summer and had a pretty easy time with it but when we had one project that I was stumped on I sent him an email and he responded with his cell phone number and let me call him and he walked me through all of the difficulties I was having. A professor like that is rare!
Dr. Digh is the best professor I've ever had! He's always so happy, super goofy, and he genuinely cares about his students. He's fantastic at explaining concepts. His labs and projects can be tough, but they're also fun! His quizzes and tests are similar, and they're difficult; just take notes in class and study your labs, and you'll be fine.
The best professor at Mercer hands down. He cares so much about each individual student and constantly reaches out over text just simply to check in and see how your week is going. He is without doubt the most respected professor at Mercer. He has a passion for Mercer and it shows in his dedication to his O-groupers.
Dr. Digh is the best professors I have ever had. If you ever get the chance to take one of his classes, don't hesitate. You won't regret it. We had movie days and he would give us snacks. He is honestly just a really amazing person. I learned a lot from him.
Anyone who is around Dr. Digh can immediately tell he cares about his students. He likes to ask a lot of questions (easy questions) during class to help his students learn. His tests can be difficult, and sometimes they cover stuff that he does not go directly over in class, but overall, Dr. Digh is amazing.
Dr Digh is SO much fun. He went above and beyond to adjust for the covid restrictions while still showing interesting and interactive things in town. He has high expectations, but will meet you in the middle and answer all questions you may have. Would definetly take again!
Dr. Digh is a phenomenal professor. He teaches C++ well, but his best attribute is his love for learning and his attitude. 310 would have been so much more difficult had I not been excited to see Dr. Digh and learn throughout the semester. He has great office hours, is always willing to help, and provides feedback in great time.
Dr. Digh was an amazing professor that I enjoyed learning under. He made my transition to Mercer University so much easier. I really struggled and he was always there for me and listened when I needed him to. I also struggled with quite a few health issues and was very understanding of that. Would absolutely recommend him!!
The MFT isn't really a class, but I still wanted to commend Dr. Digh for the support he gave in preparing for this exam. He linked several useful resources including questions from past courses that were worth reviewing. The test itself is very easy to pass; if you have paid attention in your classes, you should do well and pass automatically.
Programming team is so much fun, and Dr. Digh is a big part of that. I've taken this course the past three falls, and each time, I've enjoyed it immensely. Dr. Digh will bring treats to each practice, and he does not pressure you to do well. He lets everyone gain confidence at their own pace and is extremely supportive.
Dr Digh is SO much fun. He went above and beyond to adjust for the covid restrictions while still showing interesting and interactive things in town. He has high expectations, but will meet you in the middle and answer all questions you may have. Would absolutely take again!
Dr. Digh is hands down my favorite person at Mercer. He is so kind and encouraging and uplifting to every student, and I truly think he is a gem. He makes this class 100 times better, and I always leave the class happier than when I came in.
Dr. Digh is amazing! His classes are engaging and I learned so much from him this semester. He was always available whenever I needed to clarify anything or needed help with something and always extremely helpful. Challenges you, but helps you meet that challenge. One of the best teachers I've had my whole life.
I absolutely love Dr. Digh! Imagine being excited to come to class no matter what type of day youre having because the energy and vibrancy of your Professor never fails to inspire you to stay motivated. He teaches VERY well, offers ABUNDANT support, gets you to THINK, and overall makes what could be a difficult course enjoyable. Thank you so much!
Simply the GOAT
While it's clear that Digh cares about his students deeply, his way of lecturing is not my favorite. He calls on students in a cold-call fashion to make sure they're paying attention. His tests and quizzes usually have a couple of questions out to "trick" you which can be aggravating as they're already weighted heavily. His coding projs are fun tho
Dr. Digh is an absolute delight. If you have a chance to take him once, please do! He cares so much about every student and puts so much effort into every class he teaches.
I took this class over the summer online. The class was pretty easy, but I can see how it would be a lot of work during a typical semester when taking other courses. Dr. Digh is always willing to help and is so friendly. He also has a great personality which makes his lectures more engaging even though they were recorded videos. NOT an easy A.
The best UNV teacher. Goes above and beyond for his students and really want to help them have the best transition into college and have the most amazing freshman year! Also shout out PA jack
All the material he uses is his own, he's always available outside of class, and he wants to make sure you're actually understanding the material. Only complaint would be that I often find myself doing most of the learning by myself, reading the material, than in the lectures
Digh provides really interesting lectures alongside labs that help with understanding coursework. My biggest issue was the short amount of time between big projects and exams, it often left me stressed out because I had other classes going on. He is always available if you need help, though!
Digh was absolutely amazing. He showed up with an enthusiastic attitude everyday and made the lectures fun, engaging, and easy to understand. He clearly loves what he does and is very caring for his students. His tests are very difficult, but he is an understanding and fair grader. Study the review sheets, quizzes, and projects and you're good.
Professor Digh cares about his students and made UNV not be all essays. However, we were constantly going on so many tours which are a complete waste of time.
Professor Digh has won awards for how he takes care of his students. For good reasons.
Digh is easily the best in the CS department. However, he WILL challenge you. Exams are extremely tough, but quizzes are manageable and the projects are not too bad as long as you start early. Still, you will definitely need to study a ton and work harder than usual to do well in his class. No matter what, though, he is always happy to help you.
Dr. Digh is a phenomenal teacher. 245 is one of the most difficult CS classes at Mercer, so if you take this class, never skip it and take great notes during the lectures. His tests and projects are difficult, but with good studying habits, you can do well in his class. Dr. Digh is always accessible outside of class and is very passionate :)
The best professor I've ever had. His INT course was the most enjoyable class I've ever taken. I will definitely miss him as a professor.
Dr. Digh has a great attitude and is welcoming and accepting of many students, he is always there to help out those who are finding the course difficult
Digh's class is tough but rewarding. The exams are challenging, but the quizzes and projects are manageable with hard work. Definitely attend class and utilize unstuck AI alongside the free textbook - it really helps with study prep.
As a Freshman Getting Dr. Digh as my number one source was so useful. The class is not a breeze, you will have essays, and you will do activities, however I enjoyed every part. I continue to see Dr. Digh around campus and he will wave and even have converstaions with me. Just an amazing guy who cares for your success, if you get him you're lucky
I love Dr. Digh! His lectures are engaging, and he's very easy to talk to about any problems you have. His quizzes are typically harder than his tests, though. Explains things clearly and concisely; if you have any questions, he responds quickly to emails and, if he's not in class, you can check his office. 10/10, would take again!
He's like the fizz of a soda pop. He's genuinely caring and nice and wants you to succeed in the class. As long as you do the reading and participate you will be fine. He offers retakes for essays and offers valid criticism as long as you turn it in on time. The only sad thing is Im probably not going to take him again cuz he doesnt teach my major.
