When students speak of Jaime they know the class will be a fun learning experience but also to be ready to work. S 99.25 Average Faculty Score + Average Class Score There are way too many great things to say about this instructor. He truly cares about whether you are getting anything out of the course, he is always there if you need help with anything, he will spend the extra time to comb through the work and offer revisions, he brought a real client to the class for us to work with, and i can honestly say that I really did learn a lot during this course. Jaime is amazing. I can only hope that one day I might work for someone half as good. He creates an environment that is fun and energetic yet we get all the work we need done, on time, all the time. I want to produce great work for him because of that. Whenever I've been stressed about where my project was, he put my mind at ease, and enabled me relax and do my work. I can't say many teachers here, or anywhere for that matter, have that same capability.
