I appreciate that he keeps-up on the latest and greatest technology & software and implements that knowledge into his courses. I also like that he sticks to the syllabus and posts a to-do-list on the board each class period so we know exactly what we will be accomplishing week-to-week. He is extremely organized, always prepared for class, and genuinely concerned about students grasping a concept before proceeding to the next. The extent to which he uses D2L is impressive--and I wish other instructors in the VCOM department would follow. Being able to access course content, assignments & updates makes it extremely convenient for those of us that are only on-campus once or twice a week. Additionally, it eliminates the excuses for incomplete assignments. I know that Darrell spends a lot of time grading, whether that is looking at data in PhotoShop & Lightroom or reading reports word-for-word. He handwrites helpful notes (complimentary or critique) which is extremely helpful to me in the learning process. Grades are always posted on D2L in a timely fashion so you know exactly where you stand throughout the semester--no surprises! With Darrell, 'no question is a dumb question'. He challenges us to excel, while giving us the tools (and confidence) to do so--albeit with a bit of suspense as the course ramps up. All instructors have a different teaching style, as do students have a different learning style.....and I'm happy to say that Darrell's way works for me! Thanks you for devoting so much of yourself to the photography program! I have learned so much from you!!! Darrell Tangen is an amazing instructor.

Hurray for Gerardo and Kayla for all they have brought to the Lions Club as President and Vice President! It was an honor to go to the Burnsville Lions dinner and participate with other Lions clubs. I am amazed how excited other clubs are about the DCTC Lions club. We certainly have the youngest membership, and we are inspiring to the other clubs! It shows that you can have fun and be creative and help others. What a great article! Hurray for Gerardo and Kayla for all they have brought to the Lions Club as President and Vice President!
