Student Feedback

I learned something new every week in Dustin’s web classes! He made the world of web easy to understand for someone with very little experience with it. I definitely recommend taking his classes – I’m going to miss building websites with him and my classmates!

Katie, HTC Graduate

Dustin is very engaging and friendly, and willing to go above and beyond to help you find the resources you need to succeed, even if it means a Zoom chat on the weekend!

Natalie, HTC Graduate

You must take the class with Dustin. He is an amazing instructor. He really knows his job and does it well. The way he teaches is very fun and entertaining and you always get something good for yourself. There is no web question he cannot answer. Even if he doesn’t know something he will figure it out and give you an answer!

Ruth, HTC Graduate

I loved all the web classes, I am actually sad that it is over since I looked forward to it every week. Learning about how websites function and what is possible to create will help any designer improve. Design is for an audience and the Internet draws the biggest audience of all through websites. The fact that I made multiple websites in just a few months and can now make literally anything I want is so cool. Thanks so much, I had so much fun being taught in your classes.

Chelsea, HTC Graduate

I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is seriously pursuing a career in web design. The vast array of knowledge being asked and shared is immense. This class is invaluable.

Sharon, HTC Graduate

I think it’s a great class to take and you’ll feel like he’s less of a teacher and more of a best friend. You can share your interests and hobbies and feel good knowing that someone is listening, and can absolutely share & express interests in just about every assignment and/or discussion in the class! 🙂

Spencer, HTC Graduate

Dustin is so knowledgeable, conveys the lessons extremely well and makes it so easy to understand while at the same time in a friendly, dignified and articulate style that can only be envied by other teachers and appreciated by all students no matter what age, learning style or background they bring to the classroom. Dustin’s own background of web design and his entrepreneurial spirit is brought to the classroom every day and makes it so interesting. You just never want to miss class.

Susan, HTC Graduate

If you are new to web development, Dustin’s class provides a good balance of coding and CMS software.

Melissa, HTC Graduate

I just want to say Thank you for encouraging me to like the web. When I registered at HTC my goal is to earn an AAS creative, and I am going to graduate this semester. But now after taking the web classes, and I am going to work on earning my AAS web as well. So thank you again, Dustin

Lina, HTC Graduate

You don’t need to worry about speed in your work. Take your time and enjoy learning.

Aaron, HTC Graduate

I took these classes because I saw a lot of companies wanting people that know CSS and HTML. I have learned so much in one semester, how to structure HTML, change the appearance with CSS, and how to use WordPress efficiently. It was extremely helpful to know how websites are made and the time that is put into them. I’ve found that web dev just really isn’t ‘my thing’, but if I use it right with my graphic skills it can create a different experience for the user. If you have ANY interest in how a website is created, I’d recommend taking the class just to learn the basics.

Kelly, HTC Graduate

If you are sometimes intimated by professors and having to learn, this is not a situation to be intimidated by. Dustin is very open and it makes it a lot easier for us students to engage and learn in a setting like that.
