Awesome Teacher. Great guy, took marriage skills from him, and it was good. He uses books not textbooks so it is cheaper and he is just a fun teacher. Take a class from him. Was a little bit of extra work with making a poster, but I got a good grade.

Awesome guy and super funny. If you are good at attending class, and don't mind writing super short easy papers this is a good class. His religion does influence his teaching, but he stands in his "opinion corner" when stating his opinions. Non-biased towards non-LDS kids. He does not openly teach church doctrines either. Great class.

I really loved Dr. Boden as a professor. He really knows his stuff and has a way with making extremely uncomfortable topics comfortable. I have learned a ton, but I have been a bit disappointed by the excessive homework and projects. We have 3 final projects plus a final exam. I am normally a straight A student, but I have not been able to keep up.

Professor Boden is the best! You can tell that he really cares about what he is teaching and has a lot of knowledge about it. You do write quite a few papers in this class but they are really short and simple if you try not to procrastinate. There are "textbooks" but they are pretty easy and actually fun to read, and I don't normally like to read.

I LOVE this class! Jeremy is very passionate and great at what he teachers. He makes this class very easy to learn from and very enjoyable. You will have to read quite a bit, but it was easy and very interesting! I don't think I have ever enjoyed lectures more than the ones he gives. Great class and Professor! Highly recommend.

I loved this class from Jeremy, he's a really good professor! I'm excited for his FAMS2800 class. This class is made up of reading, quizzes on each chapter, a reflection paper for every module, and interviews + response papers. It's a lot of writing which I really liked. He grades a lot more on application of material than random memorization.

He's great. I could not recommend a professor more! He is so fun to learn from, & you'll really learn. Of course this class seemed odd registering, but it might arguably be one of my favorite classes I've taken thanks to Jeremy. He's down to earth, knowledgable, and focused on helping you to come away from his class a better and wiser person.

Jeremy Boden is not only my favorite professor I've had in college, but possibly my favorite teacher I've ever had in school. He is personable, a gifted presenter, and offers meaningful insights with each lecture. He has a way of connecting with his students and cares deeply about what he teaches. I can't recommend him enough.

I love Jeremy! I've taken his FAMS 1150 and FAMS 2800 and loved both. Classes are fun and easy to learn in. Assignments are very applicable to what we are learning. Not just busy work, but valuable information. Class is interactive, so if you don't want to engage with other students and learn things, do not take his classes:) I highly recommend it!

Dr. Boden is awesome. You learn some of the most interesting statistics and topics in this class. He is very knowledgable about the topic, but also about what students need. He is very helpful and gives great insights to each student. He was fairly tough on grading the papers, but if you listen to his recommendations, you will do just fine.

Professor Boden is an okay teacher. His class structure isn't very flexible. I had some family emergencies arise and his accommodations were subpar. His class structure was quite rigid. He rarely accepts late work, unless he deems your reasoning legitimate. He doesn't take into account the reality of diverse populous and human experience.

Effective class outlines. You have two weeks to finish all the homework, which could easily be done within a single week, although there is no way to get ahead. Easy A if you are willing to read multiple chapters and take notes on them. Lectures are also very engaging, but there is a bi-weekly essay assignment of about two pages.

I had maintained a 93% in class all semester and will now be finishing the semester with an 86% because of my final. This final has been submitted in pieces throughout the entire semester and I received a great score on each portion. Now once all of these pieces are combined, he has given me a 20%. In what world does that add up?

He was good, but I think one thing that was hard was that he would give you feedback and when you edited your paper using his suggestions he'd still give you the same grade, so it seemed kind of pointless for the last paper to make all these changes and get the same grade. He was very accessible to reach over email/canvas! Overall good experience.
