Although lectures could be a bit boring, she was an outstanding professor. Had very good explanations and examples for EVERYTHING we covered in the class. I recommend reading the book & attending lectures because it helps clarify things a bit more. Make sure to attend all sections in order to get easy points. Overall, she's a great professor.

What I loved most about her is that she is really fair. You get what you work for. Show up to every lecture (even if they are repetitive sometimes and confusing), go to the labs and sections, do your hw, etc. It's all about habit and hard work. This class is about (mostly) practice and understanding. Each day things become less hard, you fill a gap

She was such a sweet professor and took the time to make sure her students understood the material. Quizzes are easy (one question taken from the homework) and both midterm and final were very straightforward.

She is a very sweet professor. She is able to give very clear explanations to all the concepts. Her midterm problems are reasonable and not hard, so you can achieve this class easily. You don't need to buy a text book though the professor said it's mandatory. No i clicker, very few homework. Highly recommend this professor!

Professor Swenson is not great. She is new to the school so it is understandable that she does not know how to lecture properly and manage a class. She does not help students and does not know the topic herself, she merely regurgitates the textbook to us, and claims that she is a professor. Nonetheless, she is very sweet so I do give her that.
