Reviews of professor Jacob Boss

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Jake was such a great professor for my class. It was his first semester teaching it, and I felt like he was a seasoned vet. As a freshman, X159 was invaluable. We had field trips, guest speakers, and many discussions to help us navigate the college life and beyond. It was such a great class, and Jake is an AWESOME professor and person!

Dr. Jacob Boss is the most inspirational and caring person I have ever met. He wants you to fall in love with learning, and he does just that. There are no lectures, it is one big discussion where everyone is welcome and accepted. I cannot encourage you enough to take a class with him, he changed my life. There are no tests or quizzes.

Non-traditional but fantastic. Genuinely wants students to care about the topics, structuring classes and homework accordingly. Lectures were interesting but never more than a fraction of class time, instead leaving the bulk of it to student-lead discussion or other interactive activities.

Jake was my AI for original sin. He was always available to help. He responded to email faster than any teacher I've had. He really cared about us and didn't talk to us like we were children. Going to his office hours was really helpful because he gives straightforward feedback and doesn't talk down to you.
