Why Darrin enjoys teaching at USC? “I have always wanted to give back to people in the same way that I was fortunate enough to have experienced the world of learning.  In addition, interpreting the functionalism of computers in today’s businesses is not easy, therefore it’s best done by people who can relate with the student population in a way they understand.”
