Jaime Spacco

Associate Professor of Computer Science

what students say

  • Jaime has a way of interacting in the classroom that makes whatever he's talking about fun and approachable by everyone. Outside of class, his door is always open; he is always ready for a meeting, many of which will turn into multi-hour talks about computer science in the real world. His classes are the ones I make sure not to miss because I know I'll always learn more than I expected and walk away with a smile on my face.

  • Jaime Spacco is the kind of professor who truly loves what he teaches and --most importantly-- clearly loves and knows how to teach it. His quirky sense of humor makes him approachable to both the novice student just learning Java and the experienced programmer working out bugs in a PHP-based project. His dedication to his students makes him a reliable resource for help with those more obscure bugs and to those still getting a hold of the basics. But Computer Science is not all that Professor Spacco is, making it is easy to expect any meeting with him to bounce off the walls of liberal arts. Professor Spacco genuinely wants students to succeed.

  • Jaime's excitement is infectious; he's a fantastic evangelist for CS. Jaime's also great about not losing sight of the big picture. While students spend plenty of time in his classes coding, we also step back to explore, for example, the public policy implications of information management and intellectual property. The heavy emphasis on projects in his classes means students get to implement and work with the ideas we're learning about and tackle real life problems with computer science magic in lab.
