Comment:

I took Jason's EmAC class years ago. Jason maintains that perfect balance of friend and professor. He knows how to earn respect from his students as well as give respect to his students. I learned a ton from Jason and his class really broadened my horizons as an artist and did so in a very encouraging way. Jason is an absolute asset to MICA imo.

Had him for eMac my freshman year of art college. Great teacher, super helpful and knowledgable of what he's teaching. Class has a lot of freedom, but also just enough structure. Great lecturer as well. Highly recommend Jason!

Comment:

Prior to this class i didn't even know what the adobe cloud was. I was nervous that because Jason taught the advanced emac class I would really struggle. But we went through each program from the ground up and our projects were left relatively open. Jason is really helpful and willing to make time out of class to help as well.

I knew very little about sound art before this class & this class was awesome. It's very hands on & the classes are jam packed with workshops, demos, visiting artists, performances, etc. Fun class!

Comment:

Had Jason for Sound Art. Jason is very helpful and enthusiastic. Good teacher. But the class utterly favors electronics and Jason seems to believe that if its not Avant Garde its weaker. Its a bit like going to a music school and taking an art class to find that the prof is a virtuouso in photoshop who thinks painting is passe.

I've had IxDA Seminar with Jason and he is a great professor and cares a lot about his students. Very techy guy & "nerds out" often (in a good way!) we took a lot of field trips & had many guest speakers/artists. Allowed us to see a variety of future paths in the IxDA field. he's mad into sound so take is classes

Jason has inspired me more than any other teacher I've ever had. He's a delightfully funny guy but more importantly, he LOVES what he's teaching. He's influenced me to realize that I am indeed an Interactive Media major. Thank you, Jason.

Jason's a great teacher and has become an important part of the Interactive Media Department. He knows how to motivate students and get them to look inward at themselves and question why they make art. I never really thought much about concept or history before I had him. He's really helped me to focus my voice. If you haven't taken him yet, do it!

Great teacher. Very technical course for the first half, but we got to do some really cool things after we got the basics under our belt. He put a lot of information into the class but it's stuff I have not gotten from my other teachers. We did HTML, CSS, XML, Dreamweaver, Flash, action scripting, PHP, video and sound. LOTS of New Media Art too!!

Great teacher. Dude knows a lot of stuff. Very technical course but he makes it interesting. Looking forward to later in the semester when we can be a bit more creative. He's very helpful. I was not getting a lot of the HTML stuff and he came in late on a Friday afternoon to spend an hour and a half to help and I finally got it. Not too many teache
