He didn't stick to the syllabus, due dates were unclear or non-existent. The class was based in Photoshop, but the final project was in Fireworks. Similar, yes, but not the same.

Mr. Nabors is the type of instructor who shows you whathow to do something, and then leaves you alone to do it. He makes himself available for those who need additional help, but for the most part he expects students to work independently. He allows you to retake tests multiple times so you receive the best grade possible. I enjoyed this course.
