Mr. Dominguez taught me soo much in the short course of this class. He is such a passionate and and motivating professor; which makes this class that much more interesting, he has his fair share of assignments but just do the work and you should be fine. He goes above and beyond for his students and gives you a comfortable environment to learn.
