Reviews of professor Alan Swirsky

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Best professor I've ever had. Lectures are always engaging as hell; you never leave without taking something with you. Understanding and flexible with deadlines. His office hours are AMAZING, please take advantage. He'll always find a way to help if you're stuck on an assignment, or if you just want to chat. Don't wait on this one, take him ASAP!

I had him in Summer 2022 and he was amazing! Despite the narratives he assigned were quite depressing, he gave some humor to keep them lighthearted. An outstanding professor and I would definitely take another one of his courses in the future!!

Alan was fantastic, I literally could not recommend anyone more than him! His lectures were easy to follow and he made difficult texts digestible. Do the readings, listen to his feedback, and you're golden.

A mentor to anyone, always there for his students. He writes about war. If you can score a class with him, take it.

GREAT professor! He put a lot of thought into curating his curriculum & each text uniquely contributes to cohesive themes in American Literature. Keep up with the weekly assignments, do your projects early, do the extra credit, & don't procrastinate on the essay and you should be good. Very flexible as well.

Alan was a great prof. Never have I ever had an easier time writing a paper than taking his class. Grading is based on 3 papers and daily writings. Make sure to email him if you have difficulty writing a paper; he always makes sure to let you know his email is available. Make use of his feedback and you will get an A+ paper.
