Nigeria Module, Conflict in Africa, October 2023
“I really appreciated Jared’s enthusiasm for both teaching and for the subject matter! He explained everything in a very accessible way and provided a very safe and comfortable learning environment.”

“Jared was a wonderful TA, and one of the best I have had at Fletcher.”

Intro. to Human Security, Spring 2021
“Jared was EXTREMELY organized and was in frequent communication with the class on what we needed to get done which was really helpful. He also made himself available to students whenever they had questions outside class. Finally, I believe that Jared is the most supportive TA I have ever had. He was more than happy to discuss class concepts with me and listen to whatever concerns I had. We were so lucky to have him this semester!”

“Jared is extraordinarily knowledgeable, not just about this topic, but also about the larger impact issues and repercussions of elections and chosen leaders. He was always prepared with a power point, links and readings. Jared was always receptive to questions and comments. He always said “Great question” to encourage us. If he led another group, I would definitely enroll.”

“Jared was well prepared and also added material to following sessions based on students’ interest / questions. As I told Jared personally, I often experienced this SG as a graduate seminar: challenging, thought-provoking as well as informative and eye-opening”
