Literally the best Professor in the whole wide world, I'd take him a million times again if I could. He turns the most terrifying subjects into something understandable and enjoyable! He is literally there to help you succeed and learn.INHS-6300 2026-09-09 03:28:15 +0000 UTC
Jarvis is the most enthusiastic, helpful and understanding professor I have ever had at Northeastern. He makes the course fun to learn and makes the whole semester as stress free as possible.INHS5302 2022-05-22 21:30:12 +0000 UTC
Super flexible and helpful! My dad was sick my last semester and Jarvis let me do all of his classes over skype. He would do his entire lecture all over again just for me! Don't pass up a chance to take his class!POLS2400 2020-10-10 13:11:24 +0000 UTC

Dr Chen is awesome! He wrote my rec to grad school and I still talk to him from time to time about my career goals. He always has time for his students. He truly loves teaching and that is incredibly specialPOLS1155 2020-10-10 13:08:32 +0000 UTC
Professor Chen deserves a medal, a fruit basket and a hug for all of his work with me this semester. I was incredibly worried about his class and even emailed him a handful of times before class started about my concerns for the course. He assured me that everything will be awesome and gave me tons of feedback and assistance and now...I love math!POLS7202 2018-06-29 10:03:11 +0000 UTC

Overall amazing person and amazing teacher.2400 2014-11-21 11:32:12 +0000 UTC
Very young to be a professor, but I think he's a PhD candidate. He was younger than most of the students in my summer master's quant class, but he had a lot of poise and confidence. Very charismatic and helpful to students. Excellent lecturer with great powerpoints and media in his classes. Will take from again, if possible.7202SUMM 2013-02-07 11:08:03 +0000 UTC

The best TA at Northeastern! Very nice, very easy-going, very helpful! This was my first semester at NU and he really made an impression on all of the kids. He genuinely cared about teaching and we could tell that he loved being in front of a classroom. WE LOVE JARVIS!POLSIR 2011-07-21 18:36:20 +0000 UTC
