Reviews of professor Kendal Swartzentruber

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I love Kendal! At the end of the semester he wants to hear your honest feedback, things you liked and didn't like about his class. The podcasts he assigned were really interesting but kind of long. He also had us do weekly discussion board posts, which were not bad. He gives you a 100 if you just do the homework. We also had small group meetings.

Kendal is one of those people that you meet in life that make you want to be a better person. Like most EXED classes, the time of his class sucks because it's a 3 hour lecture and his is on Thursday nights. But I have never been in his class where I regretted being there. Such an amazing professor but just a really really good person in general

TAKE KENDAL!!!! Hands down the best professor and class I have taken and probably will ever take. Lectures and assignments are all discussion based and you get a chance to really dig deep about intellectual disability. 10000/10 highly recommend. I wish I could take this class 100 times.

Professor Swartzentruber is hands down the best professor I have ever had at JMU. He cares about his students so much and is extremely passionate about the class. He brings in a young adult with Down syndrome to help teach the class, which brings so much excitement to every class. This class is incredible, and I wish I could take it again!

Kendal is an amazing professor. He brings in a lot of different people who either have disabilities or those who work with individuals who have disabilities which gives you a really good grasp on reality and not just what you read in a text book. Assignments are fun and interactive.

No quizzes or tests. Mostly just weekly responses to podcasts or readings which are very long, but he gives 100s for everything. Kendal is very caring for his students. Kendal brings in Brandon, someone who has a disability as a part of our class. It is so helpful and fun to get to know Brandon and hear his experiences. Take Kendal!!!
