Comment:
Professor Swisher never answers emails. He checks them once a week. He does not stay on topic for his lectures. He cusses every few words and essentially mocks people who believe in God or have political views that do not agree with his own. As he has tenure, he can say and do whatever he wants.

Probably one of the best professors at the university and at the school of architecture. He's been teaching for many years and has lots of wisdom and experience. Definitely makes the first year program as great as it is. Very helpful and always walk away with a new bit of knowledge.

Comment:
Swisher is a great professor for rooting the student into the fundamentals of architecture and teaching the ground work. He allows the student to develop their ideas the same way the guard rails guide the bowling bowl for a first time bowler. He is extremely knowledgable as he's seen and done it all. Loved Swish

This man is a genius. He's intimidating, but he genuinely wants students to succeed and is happy to help if you seek him out. His lectures are hilarious, he'll teach you how to hunt sables in Siberia and paint with gouache (even with a lifelong tremor).

At first he can be extremely hard to follow, but if you can learn to follow his train of thought you will learn a lot (and be a little freaked out that you're able to follow Swisher's thought process!). Seriously, he's a wonderful teacher, and you will rarely be bored in his studio.

Excellent teacher! Funny, energetic, and very hard working. Will expect the same from his students as well. Wish he was grading the work instead of Snyder because Swisher makes you believe you did an excellent job on your assignments but then its a different story when you receive your grade sheet from Snyder.

Swisher is a very intelligent man... you will learn everything from why pencils are yellow to why the sky is blue. But seriously, I enjoyed coming to his class. He doesn't tell you what to do, he just guides you.

While he is a fascinating teacher, it is very likely that he will confuse the hell out of you. Wouldn't switch teachers for the world though.

Extremely intelligent person. Teaches how to learn along with the actual subject matter. Gives much less work than other 1101 studio professors.
