Mr. B. C. is by far one of the best teachers I had in high school, and I had him for two years. I can only speak for Digital Photo 1 & 2 students, and he taught both courses well. Those that complain, usually never pay attention in class and slack off almost always thinking the class is an easy A (only true for photo 2 students in my experience because we know what we're doing). So long as you listen to Mr. B. C. 's often lengthy descriptions of Photoshop tools and such, the class should be a breeze.

Take notes, but he chooses random questions to test you on. So usually you will fail the tests but they dont count to your grade at all you can still get a 93+ with failing his 2 tests he has. Rest is your portfolio and artwork category which is just art so its hard to grade. He rarely grades and makes your peers grade each other works

Cool class, but you cant use your phone at all pretty much. He hears everything. Cant say anything at all. Super nice though. Easy A or B

Mr. B. C. is seriously dedicated to teaching, and tries his best to make it fun. No, seriously, his class is fun if you actually pay attention to what he teaches. I get that it can get boring sometimes, but he tries his best to explain things, and he'll even go over things repeatedly, if you ask.
