If you don't like writing long papers each week then this class not for you! Two 1000 word papers due every friday seemed to me a little too much. Moreover, he's a tough grader, pay attention to grading system on the syllabus, it's 100%-96% is A and so on....I took pretty hard classes that semester but this took most of my time. Good Luck!!!

Pretty laid back class. All you need to do is write 10 one to two page papers on each chapter that you read, and 10 (at most a page) "business" papers. I totally recommend this class online with him! Its a fairly easy A. He is good with feedback and answering questions!

Comment:
This is honestly the hardest easy class I've ever taken. He is a professor that babbles the entire class and none of what he says makes sense or is prevalent to what we need to know. He is openly discriminatory to anyone who is not a white male. When we ask for clarification, he blows it aside and makes it more confusing. Don't take him. Seriously.

He basically doesn't teach. You work in groups and do all the work and figure everything out for yourself. I don't know if that's what his intention is, but I don't really see any reason for him to even be there.

I took his online course this semester. IT BLEW. I basically wrote a paper a week, never opened my book once. The online material had nothing to do with the book. He is lazy. I went in during office hours and another prof told him to hurry up. Didn't listen to my concerns. His teaching style is a hands-off approach where he doesnt do ANYTHING!!!!!

This class and this teacher is completely worthless. The only way to get an A in his class to win, one of two, of his pointless competitions he has at the end of the semester. Swenson is a terrible teacher that make harassing jokes to girls int eh class. Terrible teacher, terrible class. Don't waste your time, FIND AN ALTERNATIVE!!!

This class was pretty worthless. If you can manage working with bizarre Word projects and basic Powerpoints you will have no trouble. I really wish I could tell you that I learned something in this class, but I didn't. Swenson is a good guy, pretty fun. Be on his good side, because he picks favorites. I wanted to learn something and was let down.

Mr. Swenson tends to babble on about the same things every single class period. I took his Intro to Management class hoping to learn a few things- and absolutely did not. It was a Saturday class (every other) and I heard the same stories about 6 or 7 times. All grades were based on 'group work'. Never used the book either. Useless class!

Great teacher, he has an unorthodox teaching style but you learn a lot. One of his class motto's is "no tests, no homework, no problems."

this class was a joke, so easy i would take this class just to laugh at how he cheats the system so he doesnt have to do any work as a teacher what so ever, very lazy but you dont even have to show up to class to get an A. You can make your group do everything. Group tests and open book. Guaranteed a good grade.

He likes suckups and flirts with the good looking girls in class. He won't give you the time of day to reason with him unless you are one of the above. Grading style is horrible and just in general is confusing as hell. I suggest taking a different professor if you can.

So he's really easy in class, but what an overall ****. He's never plesant in office or outside of class, I believe he's a huge ****. I have a hard time asking him any questions about transfer credits or having him sign things. He simply ignores me when I'm in his office.

This guy is a nut. Easiest class on campus. Is impossible to track down for office hours. I had to go to his house to have him sign off on my graduation exiting paperwork.

is a very easy class you don't do anything. You really don't learn much either. It is kinda a waste. But you are guaranteed an B. Lots of videos and boring group cases, but you don't do anything.
