Reviews of professor Kevin Swanberg

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's a fairly solid teacher at least in terms of an online class. He gives really good feedback on assignments given weekly. I'd say difficulty is about what you should expect from a writing course.

I took Swanberg's online advanced writing class and it was a horrible experience. The most busy work I have ever experienced and I am a senior at UMD. I have heard good things about his in person classes but his online layout is ridiculous. He assigns around 5-10 assignments a week and turns a three credit class into more of an 8 credit class.

I believe the course organization and structure worked really well with online learning and Professor Swanberg made it very easy to navigate the canvas page and made very informative and comprehensive overviews of the assignments due each week. The course material is manageable if you manage your time effectively. Overall this class was awesome!

Super easy grader. Uses contract grading. Unfortunately you don't learn much but I'll take the GPA boost. Also, highly opinionated and pretty pompous.
