Reviews of professor Jennifer Swartout

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lots of homework and tests, thankfully you get retakes. But a lot of hours are spent doing homework or mathlab.

She is a good professor and you can tell she really cares about her students success.

She doesn't seem to have any understanding of people with tight schedules. She locks assignments 3 days before it's due, which really sucks on Fridays because it ruins the weekend. I don't get why work can't just be unlocked ahead of time so that we have more time to work on it.

Jen is a really fantastic teacher. Very engaging and funny. Lectures are easy to follow but attendance is vital to passing the class. Fair amount of homework and in class quizzes usually twice a week. She displays a clear joy for mathematics and teaching which is almost contagious. Never a dull moment in class. Highly recommend her for MAC1105!

Most of her class is her doing a few tough problems on the board as an example, so you can practice through the online homework in MyMathLab. Definitely a lot of homework, and the Quests can be pretty difficult but she gives as much partial credit as possible. Offers supplemental instruction, take advantage of it!

Professor Swartout uses PowerPoint in her classes and I found it useful to write as much down from each slide when taking notes. I did not interact with her a lot but she tends to be helpful when doing so.

This is a difficult course to take. 4 credits. Jen is an alright professor for this course. Lectures are not the best, but is doable. Homework every week, through MyLab Math. 6 quizzes, three exams, and 3 projects. Offers re-exams after each test, averaging the two. Make sure to do final review she offers, exact questions on final exam through MLM.
