Great class, I learned a lot. It took a while to get used to his style of teaching, but if you put in the work and make an effort you will be successful in his class.

Comment:
He puts an exam study guide online for each exam, including the final. He is very willing to help as much as needed. Classes can be boring, but its accounting... If I had to take more acct classes, I'd take him.

THIS CLASS NEEDS A TEACHER!! This is the second time I've had Swisher for this class and he is as useless for the online as he is for in class the tests are nothing like the homework. part of the test material is not even covered or in the book and if you ask him his answer is "what do you think" and does not help

Comment:
No online lectures, no videos, absolutely nothing to help learn. there is only 1 tutor because pretty much no one passes. I studied for hours and still barely passed the tests because it's testing you more on recall than comprehension. DO NOT TAKE

Comment:
I wouldn't recommend taking the class online, but if you do he will let you sit in on his class any time you want. That is what helped me. He is fair, helpful and seriously thorough. His tests are insane, the final was 21 pages long and took three hours and ten minutes. Chapter 7 test took 2 hours 40 minutes. Just ridiculous for a 101 course.

Comment:
One of the best teachers I have ever had. I heard much complaining about Mr. Swisher before, during and after I took his class by young, ungrateful students. It is all false. Mr. Swisher is a thorough, easy to get along with teacher. The accounting is difficult not the teacher. I would recommend him.

Comment:
Not the teacher for me at all!!!! I dropped his class because I am not good at accounting, and need an instructor that actually TEACHES. All we did in class was to go over homework that we submitted online. One classmate asked a question, and his response was "Well, what do you think". Her answer turned out to be wrong, but he did not tell her

Horrible teacher. He acts like you're working for him, not in a class learning. Even the counselors tell you not to take him.

Easy class. Great teacher. He tells you exactly what he expects, and there is no reason you couldn't get an A in this class. My only criticism is that there is too much time spent over doing the homework, and not enough time actually teaching it. As long as you attempt the homework, you can easily pass this class

Comment:
The online homework is easy, fill in worksheets. The tests are completely different than the homework given. He makes you take the test on campus, so you have to drive there 9 times during the semester. He uses homework manager, so shell out another 40 DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS ONLINE, HE IS NOT A GOOD ONLINE TEACHER IN MY OPPINION

First of all, the picture is outdated by about 18 years. I took 101 and 102 and I can say that having the class first thing in the morning, it just didn't start my day off well. WAY to much hw (every night); tests also never seemed to go well for me. Class consists of going over hw and sometimes a problem or an explaination...Or a random story.

i loved this class. even though you go over homework pretty much the entire class period, you still learn a lot. it's really easy, all you have to do is attempt the homework and you get full credit. great class, i highly recommend it if you are going into business.

Comment:
he definately does a good job getting you to realize how the world works,he hands you a sheet at the start of the semester and tells you this is when everything is due, and makes it so you have to have to be responsible for yourself,not to mention he is a very nice guy when you talk to him,and you gotta love someone with the guts to rock a combover

Teacher is worthless, all you do is go over homework. Which you have a ton of and have to submit online because he is too lazy to do anything himself. Not one person in class could stand his ways and have seen many drop.

Comment:
I had him for 101 and 102... what to say about Swisher... well WOW... he knows what he is talking about, but that doesn't always mean you do! He is really, really, boring. I love his comb over. And best of all sometimes he just starts screaming the answers to his rhetorical questions to make sure people are paying attention... I jump even if I am.
