Reviews of professor Lisa Schwappach

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Lisa is an amazing professor! One downside is that she only checks her email/messages once a week, making getting feedback difficult. Another thing is there are a lot of documentaries you need to watch. Lastly, the final consists of a research paper, test, and essay, so take that in mind if you think this is an easy class to get through.

she was okay, but be ready to read and watch a lot of videos. lots of writing. three mini essays, a two part midterm, and then a research paper, a final exam, AND a final exam essay. honestly the class was interesting, but so stressful and so much work.

She grades easy and you will actually enjoy doing the homework. There is minimal weekly reading and the documentaries she picks are interesting and give insightful perspectives into different cultures. There are some papers, but she grades easy. You will have to do 3 Ethnographic papers, 2 finals, and a paper on a documentary/event you overserved.

Since this class was asynchronous, there were no meetings, but there was a weekly zoom for questions. She only checked her messages on that day and the days she assigned work, so her response time to questions was slow at times. There is also a big paper due at the end of the semester and weekly homework assignments. Overall, she was very nice!

She is laid-back and extremely easy to talk to. Discussions once a week, some written assignments, one quiz, two exams. Super straight-forward. There was a huge term paper due at the end of the semester, but she did warn us about it at the very beginning, which was nice. Her passion is amazing and I would love to take another one of her classes!

Homework was incredibly easy and enjoyable. Loved the documentaries. Easy grader. She does accept late work if you have technical difficulties, just shoot an email. She does also offer extra credit throughout the year.

Loved this class. Her lectures are easy to follow and she gives good feedback. Tests are also straightforward. She's also really understanding if you need an extension or missed an assignment. If you can't make her office hours, just email her and she'll set up a meeting that works for you. She genuinely cares about your success in the class.
