Student testimonials, drawn from anonymous feedback: ​​

• "This was the third class I have taken with Dr. Fritz, and I can honestly say that he is the best professor I have ever had. I am amazed at how amazing of a professor he truly is, it is as if he was born for this purpose. He is incredibly respectful, kind, fair, attentive, understanding, and unbelievably intelligent. He is able to break down complicated topics in digestible ways, and is always open to discussion and questions no matter what. I honestly believe that every university professor should hope to be half as good at what they do as Dr. Fritz. Dr. Fritz has had such a tremendous impact on myself and my love for philosophy and learning that I will never forget, and I would be lucky to meet anyone remotely like him in the future."

​

• "Mr. Fritz is an elite professor that possesses an uncanny ability to convey his key points effortlessly in a way that we all understand with absolute precision. His conduct and attention to detail is prodigious. He is a rising star, the best professor I have ever had, and I am not sure it is even close."

​

• "Professor Fritz was one of the best educators I've ever met. Perfectly balanced on a knife's edge between lecturing and having the class engage in discussion."

​

• "He was always well prepared for the discussions that we were having in class. The enthusiasm that he taught with made the class extremely enjoyable. In my 3 years of undergrad I haven't had a professor that is more personable and genuinely excited to teach than Jamie was every day. Even though the content discussed in class was challenging
  material, he communicated it very well to the entire class. Overall Jamie was a great instructor who created a welcoming learning environment that put his students in a great position to succeed."

​

• "Dr. Fritz is one of the smartest people I have ever met. Not only is he vastly knowledgeable about a wide array of fields within Philosophy, but he's particularly exceptional when it comes to teaching them in an approachable, engaging way. I appreciate the diversity he achieves when pulling philosophical texts for students to read (i.e., not only old/dead white men). He's also incredibly compassionate. He is all the things a good professor should be. He doesn't only spread information, but he incites passion in these topics because his own personal interest shines through in his lectures. One of the best faculty members in all of VCU."

​

• "I LOVE HIM SO MUCH OH MY GOD BEST PROFESSOR AT VCU SO FUNNY SO NICE SO CHARISMATIC. I WOULD LITERALLY BECOME A PHILOSOPHY MAJOR BECAUSE OF HIM. LECTURES ARE GREAT AND HE REALLY ENCOURAGES YOU TO TALK TO PEOPLE, AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYONE TO TALK TO HE WILL TALK TO YOU PERSONALLY. I'M WRITING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I WOULD GO TO WAR FOR THIS MAN."
