Reviews of professor Mary Jane Swenson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I do not think that Professor Swenson is a tough grader for the business law class. She does not accept late work. I turned in all my assignments on time and got 100% on almost every assignment. It is a tough class, and I didn't think I would 4.0 this class. Her class is laid out in a simple format and it's easy to follow.

I really enjoyed Professor Swenson's classes. If you do your homework, participate in class, and are genuinely trying your best, you should do well. Her lectures explain the material efficiently, since she translates the legal terms into English very well. My only note is that there are quite a few group projects.

Mary Swenson is an excellent professor who cares about her student's learning all aspects of CJ offered at GRC. I have taken 2 or 3 classes with her and would not hesitate to sign up again. She is great at giving feedback on assignments and also offers extra credit to students who may be struggling. She is awesome!

The only reason why you see good ratings because some students are happy as long as they passed. This class is not impossible to pass, even I have a 4.0 - but it is definitely harder than it has to be. There is so much work and the professor does not care for what the students are going through.

Doesn't accept late work even during a pandemic, Tough grader and doesn't give accurate feedback, many quizzes

She was a solid professor. Not too harsh with grading if you did the assignments right. Had weekly discussions plus weekly case problems and questions (separate assignments). Plan your time and don't procrastinate. Mid-term and final were multiple choice and she didn't say we can't use our textbooks. Some notes on assignments seemed condescending.

if you want an understanding teacher who cares about their students then dont take swenson. shes a picky grader and doesnt understand that students are going through it during this pandemic.

This teacher is rather mid. She's not "bad" by any means. She doesn't have much leniency from what I know, however I have never in the past asked her for leniency either. She grades very average, just do what is assigned and you'll be fine. I don't see anything in her class that is extremely difficult at alll.

This was a great online course! The weekly homework is consistent. Be sure to get your work turned in and you will do great!

Doesnt accept late work... but as a college student that is our responsibility and not hers to get it in time. Provides a lot of extra credit so that is really helpful! Tough grader, so you have to work for what you want. Taking her again winter quarter, shes not bad! no zoom classes.
