Reviews of professor Andrew Swift

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His lecture always starts with definitions and kind of boring. But he gives good example preambles and very nice notes. Also, he gives bonus homework for extra credits. Before the exam, his review handout really help you improve your grade.

Homework due each week. They are easy if you take notes, he always does at least one problem from the HW on the board. 3 exams and a final, which are harder than HWs and left me feeling unprepared at times. Only negative is the lectures are too theory heavy. It would be great to see some more examples and applications.

I can see many people were confused during his lectures and I know for the fact that they dont have Calc background. His lectures are long and boring. He also makes everything more complicated so YouTube and high school notes helped a lot for me. I recommend to ask TA for help when need it and study a lot for finals.

If you have a background in calculus then you will be fine. If you think you are good at math you might struggle more than you did in high school or in previous math classes. He teaches very quickly and it's hard to keep up with notes while trying to learn the material.

The class wasn't great. Professor's notes and worksheets were unclear most of the time (and poorly explained). Tests were 90% of the grade, a bit excessive. The HW and worksheets were useless. The material covered was purely theoretical; there were no practical applications mentioned which made it all kind of pointless.

Alright. A lot of people don't like Dr. Swift. But I did. Don't expect things just to make sense if you have never taken calc. The people who think he's a bad teacher are usually the people that don't try in there. However, his lectures can be long and kind of dull, but if you really pay attention they clear tough concepts up well.

The lectures were incredibly boring. Pop quizzes once every 3 classes - ish. Homework assigned twice a week. Honestly I skipped most classes and just read the book before tests and I did just fine. He curved our second exam and the final and I ended up with a 97 in the class. Overall- boring but the curve could get you an easy A.
