Comment:
He gives you all the work for the entire semester at the beginning and everything is due at the end of the semester. Lots of writing assignments and quizzes but they're all pretty easy, especially if you've done the reading. He says reviewing the quizzes help w/ the final but that's NOT true. The final was very difficult. You'll need the textbook!

A few students dropped because he made them cry and have anxiety. He is a very smart person, unfortunately no empathy. We started with 25 students and ended with 8.

The teacher provides you with all of the assignments in the begging of the quarter and they are all due the week before finals. The finals was really hard but the reading and textbook help.

Comment:
Well-educated professor, passionate about ESPE, email response fair to poor, clear instructions, lots of workwriting, quizzes: 1 hour20 questions. Final exam: 2 hours100 QUESTIONS, asks trivial factoids, trickypicky Q&A, more than 1 correct answer (choose BEST answer), field work required, STUDY HARD for final (40% of grade), stern but fair.

Only answers emails every once in awhile. Does not answer his phone. I was receiving an A in the class and forgot to submit a form and I received an incomplete in the class, so make sure you do everything! Look at his power points and read each chapter. The quizzes were very easy, just read. The final asks for very particular things. Easy overall.

Comment:
He comes off at first with a hard attitude, but he really is not the bad. I think his sarcastic remarks are meant to be jokes (they made me laugh). I learned a lot in his course and even though the video recording activities were a pain, I enjoyed doing them.

I don't know what all the complaining is about. If you expect to have a professor that doesn't require the work, go elsewhere. This professor is brilliant and I feel lucky to have been able to take his course. You will learn a great deal.

Comment:
His class was a lot of work, but if you did the work you passed. You could tell he had interest in the subject. He was understanding if you talked to him about situations, but could be intimidating to talk to. Good in class teacher; bad online teacher. Only take his class if you are willing to do all the work.

I took his class online. I am really interested in the subject matter (special education) but almost all of the work was just copying from the book. I emailed Swartz several times during the course of the quarter and he NEVER responded to any of them. What is he getting paid for? Also, I got a high grade when I did half of the work. What the?

his small pencil...in terms of the class, do your work and you'll pass. also, kathy pitchford, the professor's assistant, makes the class tolerable by providing positive energy in the room. she should be teaching the class bc she knows just as much as the professor. nuff said, anyone taking the class, good luck.

Rude, arrogant. I dropped his class and took class with another professor. Same amount of work, but taught in a fun, interesting manner. Knows his stuff but an awful teacher.

Really flat personality. Thinks quite a bit of himself. He is nothing to write home about, has the personality of an asphalt shingle with the adrasiveness of a steel wool pad.

Comment:
Huge ego. Uses silence like a sword. Almost impossible to get help, from or with. All the negative qualities of an autistic, without any of the good ones. Touchy about how name is said. Rumors are true.
