4820023Seriously, this guy has no idea what he is doing. He is a disgrace to the ECT department. He shows up to lab and has no idea what is going on. He will not give you direct answers to your questions. He thinks he tells you how to do things but dosent and then takes off for it. ADVOID at all costs.
8520023Professor Swain lacks the experience of the other professors, and as such, is not a good bet for the classes that require "real world" expertise. He works hard to get the material down in the theory though, and it shows--quick with notes and a machine in class. Wasn't too good with questions, but he is getting better each quarter (had him 4 times). His labs are a little demanding, but he works hard, and so should we--its our education. A nice guy outside, just a little quiet and removed.
4820023I had him for AC circuits simulation and he is nasty to the class. He'd mock you if you didnt know the anwer to his question. Sadly I had him for Advanced Ckt Theory and he failed me because he's arrogant and thinks he is mr perfect. he doesnt know what he is talking about

5320012Don't take any digital type course taught by Swain. He may know analog electronics, but he knows nothing about digital. In Ditital Systems lab, he never knew the answer to any question I asked. His response was usually, "Does anyone else know the answer?" or "Maybe you should ask Prof. Zion."
4820012Doesn't know much about anything. Never knows how to answer a question. Seems lost in class.
9920004One of the best professors I have ever had. He takes the time to make you learn the material and is always available. i took him for controls systems and and it was a great class
