Wendy is really who you want for this course. She's very motivated to *teach* you something about presentations rather than focusing on a grade and she's very up front about it. She doesn't overload you with work at all and makes a good environment for a presentations class. Learned a good deal and looked forward to it each week. 10/10

If you are taking EPD275 Wendy is the instructor to have. Everything is about you the student and providing you will the tools to develop your skills in presenting. Education would be better if we could clone her.

You want Swanberg as your professor. She really takes the time to work with you on e on one and genuinely cares about every one of her students. Her assignments are fun and won't keep you up late at night. Great professor.

Favorite professor thus far. She actually cares about how you are doing in her class along with your other classes, and will give you any advice that will help you in school or your career path. Extremely intelligent woman who presents her knowledge in a successful way.
