Reviews of professor Doug Swift

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He wasn't a terrible grader and some of the feedback is fine-- albeit a bit sharply put at times. Strongly disliked him regarding how he treated me and my peers, especially after he had made a jab at me in class. Has happened to other class members apparently.

Mr. Swift gives great critical AND supportive feedback on your papers and assignments. He seems genuinely interested in his students and he was able to create a culture of respect in the classroom during discussions. As far as grades, he was a fair grader and encouraged us to write well, rather than follow boring writing formulas. Loved this class

Swift is SO enthusiastic about students' work, and gives positive yet constructive criticism. There is a lot of reading, but since it's creative writing, it's enjoyable readings. It's great to have a break from academic writing and articles, and have fun being creative with a prof who actually cares.

*this is for multimedia journalism (jour-201 and Eng-386)*
I only wouldn't take again because Journalism isn't my thing, I took as a first semester non-major exploring my options, but this class requires a lot of dedication and work towards a subject of your choosing. Tough grader and hard work, but a dedicated student will enjoy this class a lot.
