“Jeremy is my favorite professor. He is kind, respectful, patient, and highly aware of our individual needs. He offers help as well as gives us time and space to work through hard times. I greatly needed his help this semester, and he was constantly there for me. He responded quickly to emails, he was frank about expectations (and accommodations), and met with me multiple times outside of class to discuss issues as well as answer specific questions and coach my accents. I am so incredibly grateful for all that I have learned from this mentor, in and outside of class.”

“This class had one of the best learning environments I have ever seen. I felt free to express myself and more that that I felt safe doing so. Meanwhile, I felt like I was getting incredibly valuable feedback that encouraged me to improve without the usual accompanying feeling of failure that often comes in academics.”
“Jeremy is one of the most respectful and kind professors. He is always prepared for class, but still leaves room for us to explore, ask questions, and discuss new and applicable tangents. There were many times where I stretched outside my comfort zone, and he was always there as a resource of help and support. I really appreciate how easy it is to email/communicate with him, as well as sign up for office hours meetings, and access his website with more information. I wasn’t excited about the early mornings Mon-Thurs, but looking back I really needed that daily check in not only with my classmates and with art, but also with myself. I showed up for myself a lot this semester and I’m really grateful for that. I cannot say enough good things about Jeremy. He reached out when I missed class once and it meant the world that he noticed I wasn’t there and went out of his way to check in. Overall, I loved the class, I learned so much, and I can’t recommend Jeremy enough.”
