Reviews of professor Rodney Swope

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
*I took this class during COVID* Prof. Swope is great! He's a chill guy that is willing to have conversations w/students to go more in depth & explain things you might not get. Some of the group projects' directions were a little vague, but in the end he grades pretty graciously. Just do all the work and attend zoom classes and you'll get an A!

Prof Swope is a wonderful professor who genuinely cares a lot about his students and their success. His class is not an "easy A" but as long as you read the chapters, take notes, and watch the lectures it's easy. He only gives four exams and all are a breeze if you put in the work. Highly recommend his class!

Professor Swope makes Econ easy to understand and is a great communicator. He's engaging and keeps class material relevant. There are McGraw Hill readings and quizzes due before each class. He doesn't take much time in class to go over projects, and he expects that students will look at canvas and follow directions. Quizzes are open note.

I had professor Swope for both micro and macro and his "lectures" were more like conversations and I really enjoyed that aspect. His tests were very easy but doing the homework takes some time. and the group project is very well laid out and is a huge grade booster if you do well. I recommend taking him

Professor Swope is a great guy and teacher, he covers everything in micro very well. I would definitely take his class again if I could

Professor Swope makes the class very easy to understand. Most classes are lectures from PowerPoints based on the online textbook. only 2 big projects a semester. There are no tests he calls them "knowledge Inventories" and you are allowed to use notes for them. He is a down-to-earth guy you can talk about anything, would highly recommend him.

Professor Swope is one of the best Professors I have had by far during my college experience! You should definitely show up to class and if you do that as well as diligently take notes and review, you will definitely have a great grade. He genuinely cares about your success.

He's alright. His Macro and Micro Econ are the same exact layout. He likes to give his opinions and state them as facts. He rarely if ever responds to emails. Tests or "Knowledge Inventories" are all open notes.

Everything you're graded on will be put on canvas very early on. deadlines are very obvious when coming up. Most classes has one chapter to read and answer some questions before the lecture in class. The "Knowledge Inventories" will only cover things in class and are open note. Take notes every class and you should have no issue on tests.
