Because of his own struggles with math it is obvious that he has spent alot of time deisigning a super-thorough, super-easy, teaching method. The pace he teaches at is slow and steady. Very approachable for extra help. With all due respect I call him, "The Mr. Rogers of mathmatics". Citrus scored

He was really easy and understanding. If you need some help in math, he's the guy for you!

He takes the mystery out of math. Everyone in my class with different problems and attitudes towards math have done extremely well. No one fails his class if they comply. He creates the strong lower foundation needed to succeed at upper division math.

Mr. Swatzel is awesome. He is so thorough giving detailed instructions and lectures. I hate math, but he made it easy to go to class because I knew I would understand what he was teaching!

The homework is a lot but all you have to do is keep up with it and your okay. He is pretty cool about things like turning in homework late, he says to write "LATE" on it, but don't do that, just turn it in with the rest of the HW being handed in. He won't even know. He's a pretty cool guy overal

he is a very nice teacher, I had to drop his class unfortunately through no fault of his own. I have another teacher now, there is a big difference one of the nicest teachers in the school. I defenitely recomend, I will take him for 130.

Great Teacher!! Very Clear and patient! But he is NOT HOT!!!!! He Looks like Tom Green. I will absolutely take him next semester!

He is very helpful!!! He is extremely patient and willing to teach. He is one the best Instructors at Citrus.

This professor is one of the best professors at Citrus seriously I have taken 130, 3 times at Mt Sac and either withdrew or got dropped and before this class I took it 3 times here at citrus and either withdrew or got dropped and the main reason was because the professors didnt care about their students Paul Swatzel is the ideal math teacher.

Mr. Swatzel is the type of math instructor that we should all be blessed with. I took his course during the summer and was getting quite discouraged by the amount that we needed to learn in such a short time. Fortunately Mr. Swatzel was willing to help during breaks and even after class. Highly Recommended.

Mr. Swatzel is THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER!!!!! He really takes his time and explains it. I took him this summer and I passed with a B. I have always struggled in math but unlike other teachers he explains it to help you really understand it . I totally recommend him. He is the Best.

great teacher!! He explains it so even a complete idiot would get! He makes math easy! He does sort of look like tom green, but it thought he was an excellent teacher! He helps in everyway possible to make sure you understand it. I recommend him for math and im sure I will take him again for other math courses.

great teacher cant go wrong with him you will pass and if you try hell give u a B makes math fun and so easy

MR. SWATZEL IS TRULY, THE BEST MATH INSTRUCTOR I'VE EVER HAD. MATH HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY MOST DIFFICULT SUBJECT, BUT MR. SWATZEL MAKES THINGS EXTREMELY CLEAR. HE IS VERY PATIENT AND KIND, NOT TO MENTION, COMPLETELY ADORABLE! I WOULD TOTALLY RECOMMEND HIM, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO DON'T QUITE GET MATH AS QUICKLY AS OTHERS. MR. SWATZEL YOUR THE BEST!!

Mr. Swatzel was the BEST teacher I have had at Cirtus!!! He was always patient and willing to go over work if we had any trouble and he made the class interesting. I am definitely going to take another math class from him. I highly recommend him!!!

He is very willing to help out his students. If he does not know an answer he you look it up and give you the better answer he can the next day.

Great teacher. Very friendly and helpful. Goes over the material very well. Doesnt grade hard at all. One of the best teachers at Citrus.

Very Wonderful teacher. I would say he is one of the best Math Teachers. He is very Helpful, and not Hrad at all. Guarantee an A

a lil slow not a class for fast learners hes really nice and kind hearted.

the best math teacher I know!!! he is so understanding and he is so cool!! I recommend him to everyone and please I hate math, but he really taught me to like it.Trust Me!!

i took him for 129 and 150, he is not as easy as people make him out to be. but he is not such a hard grader and i love the fact that he gives you partial credit, i got a C in 129 and a D in 150 but it was not his fault, by the way he is cute if you can get pass the dorky haircut and glasses he has a cute smile too!

this teacher is really nice and easy

If you put in some effort you will do good in the class. Easy to understand and very helpful if you need help. Recommend taking him if you want to get a good grade.

Very good teacher. I am a very slow learner, and he takes the time to help you out. His assignments and tests are easy as well. Wonderful guy!

i love swatzel he is super nice and has this weird cuteness to him. Homework is easy and is very helpful. Tests are easy and quizzes are easy. He is a great teacher :)

By far the best math instructor I've ever had. I'm taking Swan this semester only because I couldn't fit the time for Swatzel in 150. He's extremely clear in teaching it, very helpful. If you do the work and show up, you can't help but get an 'A'. The people who didn't get 'A's were ppl who didn't do the hmwk/pay attention in class.

He is a great teacher. Caring and not willing to let you get away from the problem without understanding it. Algebra is very hard without a good teacher.

He's so nice! He has a dorky humor. Class can get boring but you can do all your homework during that time. I didn't really understand the material but I got an A in the course.

This teacher is so easy. And hes kind of cute in a dorky way. The way he explains stuff helps alot. Quizzes, tests, and homework are super easy. Show up to class all ready, and u cant help but get an A and understand algebra.

was a great teacher. yeah you have to do homework but he doesnt always collect it. great teaching methods too. total dork but funny.

One of my favorite teachers at Citrus. I totally recommend him.Very helpful and understanding. Tests are are not difficult. He is super nice!

GREAT TEACHER! I am still taking him, and he is very nice and actually helps me understand math.

he is a super nice teacher, and explains very well. take him and you won't regret it.clear speaker too!

SUPER NICE AND EASY.... REALLY CARES ABOUT THE STUDENTS AND WONT GIVE UP UNTIL YOU'VE LEARNED IT. TEST ARE NOT HARD. PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING HE'S REVIEWED IN CLASS, NO SURPRISES. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND HIM. HE'S ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I'VE HAD SO FAR THAT IS SO COMPASSIONATE TOWARDS HIS STUDENT. HE'S ALSO DORKY AND SUCH A CUTIE HEHE

I've sucked at math my entire life. I finished his class with a high A. I WISH MORE TEACHERS WERE LIKE HIM. He's VERY helpful. Always willing to stay after and help and answer ALL questions. Because he struggled with math when he was younger he makes it easier for you to understand. HE'S AMAAAAAZING!!! and he reminds me of Ross from friends haha!

he was one of the greatest teachers ive had at citrus go to class and the rest is done for you he even drops your lowest homework and test score

He was a good professor. takes away your lowest test score. he accepts late work. funny guy! i'd take him again if i could!

Professor Swatzel is really nice. I love his teaching methods and the way he makes you understand the sections. I advise anyone to take him for math and I know for a fact that many other students adore him and can't wait to take him for another math class.

Great professor! He's really nice and helpful. His lectures are pretty clear and the homework assignments aren't that bad. He drops the lowest test score, which is extremely helpful! You won't regret taking his class (:

He is a great teacher and a very nice guy

Prof. Swatzel is a great teacher. He is super helpful and always tries to make sure everybody understands him. I am not that great in math but I got a high B because he is just that good. I even took him for the short winter semester.

I took this class in the winter and I had never taken a stats course in my life, but the class is very easy. Prof Swatzel is a good teacher and he makes sure everyone understands. The class can get boring at times but it's worth it. He lets us out early almost every day. I got an A in the class and got a free high tech calculator out of it!

Mr. Swatzel is an exemplary professor. He should have a doctorate. He knows what he is doing and he is very kind. He will make you learn Calculus even if it is not your thing. Take him if you want to understand Calculus. I learned much more from him than with my high school Calculus teacher.

The best professor in teaching. Very helpful, makes problems understand-able. I was very lucky to find him since I was never really good in Math. Today, Math is one of my best subjects. He is fair to all, I highly recommend to everyone who is starting in basic Math.

He is the best math teacher that I ever have!!He is super easy.you do not have to turn in the homework. The quiz is exactly like the HW, and the test is familiar!! Highly recommend!!!

i can say it. he is super duper easy and best teacher ever.

This guy is easy if you are a genious! Grade is all based on tests and quizzes. No extra credit, no formula sheets, no graph calculator! Don't recommend unless you are self motivated.

I have to say Professor Swatzel is by far the best Math Professor at Citrus. For those negative comments posted of him, those are the people whom expect to get A's for doing nothing. I would highly recommend, he's not hard if your willing to put effort. Very dedicated!

I like professor Swatzel. I think he is a good teacher. My only complaint about the class is that he had this homework program online that I didn't care for. But overall good teacher so I'll be taking him again.

Amazing professor, very easy to pass his class as long as you pay attention and complete his assignments. (:

Good teacher, I wouldn't say the best for a Calc class. He'd be better in a lower level math. His teaching is too slow for most part. Homework is assigned but not turned in, the quizzes consist of HW questions, and tests are challenging but not difficult if you don't slack off on the HW. He always reminds you to come to his office hrs for help

P Swatzel is a nice guy, more than fair. Do your homework and the tests should be simple enough. I did pretty poorly in his DE Class, but 100% my fault(didn't study, procrastinated, did homework at 12am usually..). The funny part about this site is that the hotness rating/appearance completely invalidates all of the reviews... except mine. Mikey F

Had Swatzel for Differential Equations a couple years ago. Very challenging class. Good instructor, but I did not like computer program IDE he made us use for lab. Always willing to help. wont allow graphing calculators though :(

I took him for math 017 and 020. I like it the class. He is willing to help you if you are willing to learn over all good teacher.

I had Swatzel for Calc this semester and he was very helpful. He does not collect homework which makes it difficult to stay motivated. Don't show up at his office having not attempted the problem. He will tell you to go try it first. If you are willing to try he is more than willing to help.

Mr. Swatzel is a really cool teacher, and truly knows what he teaches. Overall, his class was pretty easy for me, and I would seriously recommend him to anyone who's thinking about taking him.

I have taken his other math courses several times and that's because he is great at teaching. Some Professors teach at a fast pace, while he teaches at a pace were you can actually learn. He is fair and goes the extra mile to help you. I would definitely recommend & take him again!

He is a great professor. Don't be afraid to ask questions when you're struggling; he will try to answer it. The one thing I didn't like about the class is the fact that homework is online.

Awesome teacher with great explanation skills. You will take a ton of notes, or at least u should;)

willing to help if you need it. Uses math in every converation & strives to have the whole class understand the new material

Math is very difficult for me, but Swatzel's approach to teaching is excellent. He will explain everything to you as if your were in kindergarden. I didn't get the grade I wanted, but I have learned to understand math with more clarity. I will be taking his classes until I'm done with my math units. I recomend his class for any type of student!

Swatzel is a great professor. He has this "thing" where he makes you understand the math and he makes it look much easier than the book. I like his teaching style because he makes you feel comfortable enough to want to participate in class. I have taken him for other math classes as well, and recommend him to all who needs a good math start!

He's a great professor. Very helpful and encourages his students to go to his office hours with questions. He goes over the homework every day before going in to lecture. Internet and computer access are required for his class. His homework is all through my math lab. If there's particular problems you're stuck on you can email him directly and he'll go over the problem the following class. Amazing professor. Definitely taking him for the rest of my math classes at citrus.

Professor Swatzel is the perfect professor for students who struggle with Math. He takes his time and is willing to explain again if you do not understand. He encourages students to go to his office if they need help. I had Professor Swatzel for Math 29 30 & 150. Disappointed that he is not teaching Stats in class in the fall only online :(

Mr. Swatzel is awesome. I took him for MATH 30 and 150. I've always done poorly in math, BUT I got straight A's in his classes. I actually understand math now! Homework is online; the website is very helpful. Don't buy the book ahead of time. He will tell you what to buy. 4 tests and 1 final. He tells you what to study. He's available to help you!

Has beginning of class start with answering questions to homework problems and gives clear lectures open to questions.

I took Mr Swatzel for Intermediate Algebra and you couldn't ask for a better math teacher.

I took him online. It is very straightforward. Do the homework and you will pass. I like how you get your test scores right away since you use the mathlab. Participation is crucial. If you don't log in for a certain amount of time you will be dropped. Each week you have a certain amount of homework to do which is fairly easy.

I took this class online in the summer. It was hard because it was only 6 weeks long so there was A LOT to do in just a short period. I spent about 25 hrswk between homework and studying and tests. Homework is a must and will really help on the tests. The test questions are almost identical to the homework. Overall a good, but tough class.

I took his statistics online class over the summer. I definitely recommend going to the on campus Orientation class he offers the first week of session. He will go over what to expect and how to use the online program. It is NOT an easy class. I spent about 30+ hrs a week just doing homework problems. I also work full time though so it is do-able.

I liked him. I took his hybrid class in the fall. I really wish that I took his normal class instead of his hybrid. It was totally an online class. There is no teaching involved, you teach yourself ALL of the material. We met once a week. Attendance was not necessary AT ALL (only on test days). The amount of homework is ridiculous, takes hours...

In this class you to truly need to push yourself, it's not for everyone. If you don't get the material ask him some questions, YouTube is super helpful for the technology aspect. I took alot of notes and heavily depended on homework assignments for tests & final . As for swatzel he can be sassy at times lol but he is a genuine character.

Math is not my strong subject. With that being said, Professor Swatzel did a wonderful job of teaching introductory statistics in a way that made it understandable for me and applicable to real life situations. He is serious when it comes to teaching the material correctly, yet has a great sense of humor with the class! I truly recommend!

He was a very helpful and awesome teacher. The class was very technology based. Not really a math class and he was pushing the use of bringing laptops to class.

Cancels class a lot, gives minimal amount of homework its due in a week he will even extend the deadline of homework most of the time. Only gives about 5 tests, he makes it easy to pass the class as long as you understand the math!

Good professor. Teaches class as if you were at a University. Expects a lot and minimal help unless you ask for it. However, very helpful when asked. One thing I didnt like is says things like you should know this. Some of us have been out of school for a long time.

I have always been bad at math, and was afraid to take this class online. I took it for winter and had an exam every week and homework do every week (loads of homework). I recommend taking this class on its own for winter or summer. After getting the hang of statcrunch the homework is a piece of cake. It was stressful but worth it. I got a 80.06%.

Took prof swatzel for online trig. 4 exams at 20% each and hw is worth 20% of grade. Exam Q's come straight from the hw, same thing with different numbers, no tricks. The material was straightforward and prof swatzel was always available for help through pearson or email.

He is one of those professors that makes you want to do better because you respect how much he cares that you do well. I would absolutely take him again. You can tell her is caring and considerate especially in life situations. Meaning he understands what it is to be human, but makes sure you get your work done. I didn't love math until now!

I had this professor for math 180 business calculus. I don't like math but this class was much better than I expected. The professor really cares about his students and understands that life gets in the way sometimes, plus he taught us about investing in retirement accounts.

I just finished the online Math 180 with Professor Swatzel, and I was hesitant but I am glad I did. Yes, the class had a lot of work, but for a winter math class that is to be expected. I feel I would of been less stressed taking this class in the spring, but I was able to keep up with the work. He is very clear about what needs to be done and when

I took MATH 180 with Professor Swatzel over this past Winter semester. I'm at a four year university and don't regret taking it, lots of HW but he made everything so easy. Everything is on MyMathLab and he gave us extensions multiple times, super caring. 4 Exams, 1 Final Exam, drops lowest score out of the 4. 10/10 professor- highly recommend
