Nathan is funny, has a well paced class, talks to everyone and is really helpful. I am a returning business student and was happy to learn some super helpful tricks, in excel, word, and listing resources in APA or MLA formatting easily. I have a MacBook and sometimes my system varies in teaching learning, he has no problem showing the difference.

Expect to wait a ton for your homework to be graded (unless it's missing or late). Don't expect this professor to reply or give feedback.

Professor Riggs teaches the material in a clear, organized, and approachable way. Their explanations are easy to follow, and the step-by-step structure of each module makes the content understandable even for students new to technology. I appreciate how professionally everything is presented and how effectively the concepts are communicated.
