Reviews of professor Elizabeth Schwall

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very much and accessible person who is truly interested in the subject. Although not the most entertaining lecturer, she attempts to provide the most amount of information on Latin American history while acknowledging her privilege and giving space for people to speak for themselves.

I loved taking a course with Professor Schwall. She is very knowledgeable and extremely approachable. She takes the anxiety out of talking to your professor by memorizing students names and making every attempt to get to know her students. She is a fair grader and very receptive to feedback. Would definitely recommend her.

Professor Schwall is great! She is super fun, informative, and caring of her students! In addition, she gave us really comprehensive and useful notes for each of our lectures in HIST8B. I would recommend seeing her in office hours if you can, especially if you have questions about Cuba.

Prof. Schwall is very knowledgeable about Latin America and clearly cares about her students a lot. She inspired me to learn more about the region beyond the class and does a great job balancing case studies with overall regional trends. The workload is very reasonable in terms of both papers and readings. Would definitely recommend this class!

Prof. Schwall is a good lecturer. Her presentations are clear and concise. Additionally, she is very accessible outside of class and cares for the students. She knows the name of all her students!

Professor Schwall genuinely cares about her students. She makes a real effort to get to know everyone's names & is extremely accessible/helpful in office hours. She grades fairly & consistently. Her class requires attendance & participation, & is definitely more difficult if you don't have a background in the subject, but she makes it enjoyable.
