Sample of Student Comments
- "This class, Differential Equations, is very difficult, but with sufficient instructions, demonstration, and assistance the work is simple enough and pleasantly challenging. Ms. Swager was always enthusiastic and prepared to teach this course. Her explanations were detailed and appropriate. Her course was excellent, but challenging."
- "I thought you were one of my better instructors at CSU. Thanks for teaching me Differential Equations."
- "I really appreciated how you clearly explained what we were expected to know for this class and tests. It made it easier to focus when I knew what I was going to be tested on. Thanks for being a good teacher."
