Reviews of professor Leslie Swanson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The class structure heavily emphasizes group work. The homework load for this course is high. The expectations seemed disproportionate to the course level, making it feel like students are expected to dedicate all their time to this class alone. The discussions are in-depth and you have to site everything. I would not recommend this professor.

Professor Swanson is a tough grader but I have enjoyed her classes. You really have to dig to find what she expects from her papers/assignments and can take a long time to get grades back to you. Get ready to read a lot and be prepared to ask a lot of questions. There are a lot of holes in her assignments.

This professor lacks empathy and has so many things happening in class at one time. If you are going to take other classes do not take this one until you can take it solo. It will require a lot of time. More than the usual

This teacher is teaching a proactive framework for working in teams but by design is contradicting herself by using a reactive approach which has increased communication barriers and stress among F1 Visa students and students with disabilities.

Avoid this instructor at all cost! This is listed as an online class but she forces team work which requires you to communicate with your team very often via zoom, etc. She is not sympathetic to issues resulting in late work and she is a tough grader who is not looking to pass you. DO NOT TAKE THIS INSTRUCTOR! SAVE YOURSELF!
