Reviews of professor Magdalin Swanson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Swanson is a great teacher who is very descriptive in her explanations and is willing to stop in the middle of her lesson if one of her students is having trouble understanding something. We do have lots of quizzes and tests (quizzes every Wednesday and Friday, tests on Mondays). Overall, Prof. Swanson is a good teacher, just hard.

sucked at math , her class gave me hope. Ended up passing. but yes her personality is one of a kind. Quizes everyday. depends on the student at the end of the day

overall a good prof and learned a lot. my 1 complaint is that she has a "flipped" classroom where you must watch 30-50 min lectures before each class. i took stats in person bc i am someone who learns better in a classroom. most of the actual learning was online through videos. if i wanted to learn online, i would've signed up for an online class.

She is an amazing professor. She gives quizzes every class so attendance is mandatory for your grade. There are lecture videos and notes that need to be completed before class and during class we work on a worksheet based off the notes we took. You are graded off the worksheets, quizzes, MyMathLab, and tests.

Wow...I suck at math and this made it even more horrific. Her tests and DAILY quizzes are beyond difficult and she demeans her students efforts. Even if some of us our genuinely trying our best and just don't get it. I would not recommend unless you can grasp math easily with little help.

Took this teacher last year for Stats. Probably the best teacher at FGCU to take for statistics. She gives homework after every class (30min-1 hour worth). The homework and quizzes help your grade and the tests are just like the review. Heard good things from her from everyone. She drops quizzes and tests.

my main problem with her is that when i was out sick, she made me go through other students to get what i missed in class. super not helpful and i basically lost points for having covid and not showing up. make it make sense. BUT i will say i did learn a lot from her and was able to keep up. didnt pass stats w another professor but did w swanson

If you want to take an online class, but still want to show up every day to take a correctness-graded quiz and worksheet on a topic you learned yesterday, then this class is for you. No late work policy, no respect for students, includes a few drops for the lowest grades but that won't matter if you're bad at math / a slow learner, prepare to fail.

This is a hard class, but she is a great prof. You have to do the hard work and effort she says to do, but you will get an A and truly understand the material. The first day of class she seems harsh and mean, but I think she does that to scare the slackers. Otherwise she is helpful, caring, and good at explaining/teaching.
