Reviews of professor Alexis Swendener

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took this class as a junior in high school and I enjoyed it for the most part. There are discussion board posts and quizzes due every week. The topics are not very difficult, but homework is time consuming. Quizzes and exams are open-note. Overall, not a very tough grader. Definitely would take another class from her.

Online class there are discussion boards every week. This class is the epitome of busy work. I learned maybe one thing in this entire class. Just do the discussion board every week and take the weekly quiz and you will get an A very easy. Quiz and tests are on quizlet, but they are also easy enough to do without help.

As a graduating senior, I took this class for elective credit, expecting a 101 online class to be fairly easy. Boy was I mistaken. Every week there are required discussion board posts/responses. The final research paper at the end of the semester was a lot of work, get ready to sink several hours into that. Professor asks too much of students.

I expected this class to be easy, but in fact it was very difficult. The grading was very extreme and it seemed that no matter what I did to improve it was never enough. I am usually a straight A student, however I struggled a lot in an entry level class. I would highly suggest not to take this class with this professor.

As a graduating senior with many deadlines piling up, I, like anyone in an online class, forgot a deadline by a few hours, I still turned in my work & asked if I could potentially gain any points back and she flat out refused to read my work. Luckily it didnt affect my graduation, but for other seniors it might. She stands by her policies I guess.

Online classes are meant to alleviate time constraints on students, but the amount of time/ work she expects is more than any of my in-person classes. Length of discussion posts/ replies is unreasonable as it is supposed to replicate "in-class" discussions. I have never been in a class where each person has 3 paragraphs of new info to share weekly.

Asked for too much for a 100 level course. It wasn't difficult, requires a lot of work, there are discussions and quizzes weekly. Quizzes are found on Quizlet. The discussions are very tedious, it requires you to write two paragraphs and need to reply to two other people with new information so a total of 4 paragraphs each week.

Get ready for textbook quizzes and discussion board posts and replies in order to pass. Texts are open note and are pretty easily found on quizlet

Class was fairly easy. There are discussion boards and quizzes every week, 3 tests, 2 essays, and a final paper. All her questions can be found on quizlets. Essays are pretty easy but the final paper was very difficult to write. She made it very confusing and hard to find information.
