Reviews of professor Ori Swed

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
 He seemed very understanding from the get-go and very helpful as well. Going to class was a must and our first assignment was due the second day of class. I got a perfect score and had high hopes for the semester. However, I was very wrong. He would tell me how "excellent" my work was and how proud he was, but then he failed me for the semester.

I took Professor Swed for Sociology 1301 online and it was an okay class. You mainly have to learn everything on your own through PowerPoint slides. The quizzes and tests are okay in that some answers are easily found in the powerpoints while other questions were basically pulled out of thin air. Not the best teacher but it's an easy A class.

Im currently in the class, DO NOT TAKE AN ASYNCHRONOUS ONLINE CLASS WITH HIM!! He really wants it to be a synchronous class when it is not, so he schedules things with small windows of time which is inconvenient and not how online class should run unless synchronous. Also I did his 125 question review and not a single question on the test

Dr. Swed is an incredible professor. I chose him to be my research advisor after the course. As long as you're willing to learn, participate, and put in work, Dr. Swed is great. I could count on one hand the experts you could find who are more qualified to teach nonstate actors and terrorism than Ori Swed. Don't listen to the bad reviews.

Dr. Swed is amazing! He really does want you to learn the material, so do the readings he assigns. It is a discussion-based class, and he makes it really fun. I always looked forward to going to this class. I would 100% take this class again because I felt like I really learned the material

It seemed he would say something then change it up the next week. Attendance was not mandatory but then it was. Instructions not clear expected to contact outside of class. No rubric for grading papers. Little instruction on project.
