Randal is one of my favorite teachers at Delta, most of the professors either don't care or care about really asinine things. Randal is clearly passionate about art, and as long as you put in effort and pay attention he will help with whatever you need. Just don't slack off, you won't get half as much out of the class if you do.

He is truly a great man and is incredibly hard working and selfless in the work he does. He loves to talk but is always has something interesting or entertaining to say. He will help anyone who asks and goes above and beyond as a teacher

My favorite Delta teacher by far. I've had Randal for two classes and he never fails to inspire and motivate me to attempt new things in the artistic field. Many Delta professors only care that you get work done in time, whereas Randal wants you to love your work, and to do it in a way that feels right for you. Work hard you will do well with him!

Randy is an energetic professor who really makes you learn. The class is challenging but rewarding if you put in the work. unstuck ai was a lifesaver for study prep.
