Comment:
The online class is on McGraw Hill. You watch videos and then do homework problems that correspond. Two proctored tests: a midterm and a final. He gives reviews for the tests. If you understand the material you will do well on the test. If you don't do well, he gives a lot of extra credit. If you are scared to take him, don't be he's the best!

Comment:
Doesn't take attendance, but need to go to class in order to understand the material. Online homework, one group project, passport, and 4 test. I didn't use to the book, just studied powerpoints. Need to study and you'll do good. Tells you specifically what will be on the test. He's not too bad and if you need help he's easy to talk to.

Comment:
TAKE THIS CLASS!! Great Professor who actually teaches what he tests over. Does not take attendance but he talks about test questions sometimes during his lectures so you don't want to miss often. He gives a review before every exam and all of them are multiple choice. Very quirky personality and gives a few extra credit opportunities.

I took Swift because his reviews were good. He is a good teacher but sometimes he rushes. There is a lot of homework on McGraw Hill. I did not think it really helped me. He gives good reviews for the tests and is a caring professor. There are tons of things that make up your grade which I like. You take 4 tests and a final.

Accounting classes are tough but he is very thorough and will answer questions if you have them. He always gives a great review for the test. You don't really need the text book, his power points have most of the info you need. I wish he taught more accounting classes

Comment:
He posts the PowerPoints he presents in class on BlackBoard. He has like four tests. The final exam is a compilation of questions from each tests. You only have to do 65 points worth of homework and you can stop. The Accounting Cycle Problem and Passport was a completion grade. Overall, he was a solid teacher. Just don't be like me and go to class.

Comment:
Swift is actually a very good professor. He lecture what was necessary on the exam. You don't really need the textbook, because everything is on the powerpoint. On review day, he tell you straight forward what to study on the exam and what to calculated. I highly recommended taking his class.

Comment:
Dr Swift was a great professor. Very smart. He gives great examples during his lectures from power points. You need to show up to class & work the homework to prepare for the test. He gives great reviews, study what he points out & you will do fine. He was very helpful when asking questions before & after class. I would recommend him highly.
