Comment:
Star is nice but her class is hard. She doesnt really lecture and class is solely based on other students presenting the information to the class. It is all memorization and there is no book or formal notes to reference after class. the whole class is out of 100 points and it is very difficult

Comment:
Professor Swift was very knowledgeable about the law and was also very funny. However, she makes you work for your grade. There were several case readings and questions each week and your were only graded on 3 quizzes, 3 tests, and one presentation. It seemed to be taught more as a general law class than business related.

Professor Swift is an amazing professor. She is very caring in addition to being extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the law. She has a great sense of humor and makes the lectures very entertaining. Due to this being a hybrid course, there is a lot of reading assigned for outside of class, which you will be asked questions about.

Swift integrates technology into her classes more than most professors. So be open to learning the law and new tech. Brilliant and funny. I will take her again if I can get into her class.

Swift is one of the best profs I have had so far. The amount of knowledge I have learned in this class is incredible & is also very applicable to the real world. I took the class as a hybrid so we met once a week. Lots of cases to read which will be on pop quizzes, also likes to call on random people so be prepared to answer questions on cases.

I took Swift's hybrid class, and it was one of my favorites. She may seem intimidating at first, but Swift is an awesome professor who knows what she's teaching. Don't procrastinate the work until before class, and if you don't know the material, don't try to pretend you do. I learned so much from her that I'll be able to apply to my career.

She grades you on quizzes, a presentation, and exams. You have to keep up with the reading and you will do OK. At first, I just skimmed the reading and learned the hard way, from my quiz score, to read the stuff carefully. I am going to med school but I wish I took this class earlier. Everybody should know this stuff for their work life.

We arbitrated case in front of a real arbitrator. Swift walks you through each step but she is not happy if you do not read and watch videos. The workload is not crazy but if you have a bad team be ready to do a lot of work on your own. Liked Swift. Totally applied class.

Hybrid class so we met once per week. She uses a thing called Bluescape so you can see videos, notes, other stuff all on a virtual wall. She is good about giving class very recent cases. You have to do the work or it shows in your grade but the work is not too much. Thing I learned is half the class time does not mean half the work.

Despite the difficulty of the BUS201 class, Star Swift is my absolute favorite professor. She's reasonable, helpful, and one of the funniest people I've met. Her lectures include examples from her personal experience, and they make understanding the material much easier.

Honestly, the class was whatever. I didn't do much of the work but passed perfectly fine. The tests were difficult but if you put forth the effort in studying before it, you'll actually do fine. The class used Bluescape, which was cool. I actually just love her as a person, she's hilarious and really relatable.

It was an honors law class. It was also hybrid. My online classes were never this hard. Way up to date cases. Lots of reading but I let myself get behind. I learned to arrange my time because you have to keep up. High school online was easy for me and I Googled the exams. I needed to study for Swift. But I did ok. Just not high school at all.

It is a hybrid so she expects you to read material from her websites before class. A lot of students do nothing before class. But they think Swift is going to lecture on it in class. She doesn't. So group work is tough. Plus everybody works so they claim they cannot meet after class. I did most of the work for my group and learned a ton.

Uses Bluescape instead of Blackboard. So you need to learn new tech but not really youth. It's a hybrid class so do NOY miss the one day per week it meets. Reading you must do on your own will be on ex.m.

She is great. The grading scale is rough and you better start out strong from the start. I really enjoyed having her as a teacher but, I didn't get the grade I wanted. She is more like a boss then a teacher. Great person though. Highly recommend her.

I took the honors section and it was a ton of work, but I think that should be expected with an honors class. Super knowledgable lady and she's always there to answer any questions. Exams are tough, but again, in an honors course you should expect that. All in all she was super cool and I really liked her class!

Really good class. You do not have to buy a book. The work load is totally accessible. There are just a few assignments though, so not there is not a lot of room to mess up.

I took a hybrid class, and not once did I learn any information from her in class or through her lectures. She posts documents online, expects you to complete them before class, and then does not teach you the information. She's a horrible. Always has unclear directions and no guidelines for you. These other reviewers must have had a diff professor

Took hybrid as freshman and it was night class. Wish she had day class once per week. Now she does. Good grade but did lots of reading. She makes up free text. Read it. If you get the chance take her class. You will be ok if you read her stuff. We all laughed lots. Made me think about stuff I can use once I decide on major

Uses Bluescape. Also lightboard lectures for review of material. Funny. Honest. Hates to waste time - ours or hers. Knows we all have jobs. Will take Swift for hybrid 432. Up to date reading and video but no text. I learned a ton.
