i loved her, only wants the best for her students

She is a tough grader. Raging feminist. If you don't mind a B~ you will be okay.

Tough teacher, helpful and fun. Participate in class and don't hesitate to get help. Talks a lot about Feminism and is openly liberal. Don't be disappointed to get a B on a great paper. I would gladly take her again.

She is a hardcore feminist so you'll be hearing about alot about female oppression and that crap. I'm a male student though and she has always been the nicest person to me so just because she's a crazy feminist doesn't mean she hates men.

Easy grader. She is really focused on women-related issues, but who can blame her? She really helped me with my writing, and getting an A was not so hard.

She's so nice. I wasn't into it at the beginning, but as we got into current events, it became one of my most fun classes.

Dr. Rineer is a very energetic professor and she has a great sense of humor. Our class was fun because she has so much personality. She is genuinly interested in her students.

What can i say about dr. rineer? i love her! she's amazing and this class saved my life.

Very nice lady with a concern for each of her students. She does focus on women's issues and is biased; however, it is not hard to get a good grade in her class.

The best teacher I have this semester. Shes very compassionate and cares about her students. She will go out of her way to help you out. The class is very informal and is filled with mostly open discussions. Definately take her.

blahh cool stuff papers are a joke, class is unbareable at 8 am on tues thursday project unness. and should be a writing course cause all the tests are take home.

Rineer is great. She is always willing to assist you and gives your grade based on effort. Her classes are great to go to because it is really informal and you don't have to take notes. As long as you show some comprehension of the readings you will get an A. Take her!!!!

Reads way too much into a lot of things being against women. Hoped we learn more historical things about women then just "inequality". I don't feel opressed. Learned to say/write what she wanted to hear/see, and then I did really well!

I took her for 2 classes and loved her. She is an easy grader. All you have to do is put some effort and thought into your writings and you'll do fine. She loves conversation, so if u comment on the readings you are sure to get an A. Defintely take her.

very helpful and very biased. too feminist for me.

I love this teacher. She is such a sweetheart and she's adorable! The way she talks draws you in and makes you want to pay attention. She has a sort of elementary school teacher way of talking. She gives a lot of reading but its all stories that aren't that bad to read. This class isn't bad at all.

Very excited all of the time....But she grdes horriblly!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

Wonderful and friendly prof. If you're a good writer, the papers will be easy A's. Tells you exactly what she wants in a paper and is willing to help you if you need it. Definitely would recommend her. Is a feminist, but is reasonable and fair.

She's an interesting person. She seems to have mood swings but she's usually nice. She has days where she comes in and is extremely happy and those are good days. Overall, good prof. not great. Will be cool about lateness if you have a reasonable excuse.

I really loved her and thought she was an amazing teacher until she said Professors can not be friends with a student.. I like a teacher you can talk to.

I LOVE THIS CLASS! It is so easy. Each week, we read a novel and have a panel discussion about it. It can be fun if the class participates. She is always funny and tries to be upbeat even though she is extremely busy. She has helped me with getting me information outside of this class. Love her!

This was such an easy class! You only need to keep up with the reading to be able to participate, which is a large chunk of your grade. She is more than willing to help and is always excited! Definitely take her for Early American if you can.

Professor Rineer is simply amazing! She does exactly what professors SHOULD do --instead of "teaching" the material, she facilitates learning by basically allowing her students to direct the class with their questions/curiosities; she never spoon-feeds you her ideas on a subject, but gives you leeway to voice your understanding of the material.

Take this prof! The grade is two tests, a presentation, and participation. If you read for every class and talk about the material, you will do very well. There's no surprises on the tests. She's a fair prof and I recommend taking her.

Dr. Rineer is an amazing woman. She is a great professor that shows great passion in teaching. She really cares about the subject and even more about the students. Class participation is a big part of the grade, but it's low-key and enjoyable. Highly recommend her!

I hated American Lit going into this course but Dr. Rineer really opened my eyes to American Lit and how it applies to now. If you are looking for a class to do nothing in this is not the class. There are 2 grades final and midterm. If you do the readings and participate you will do fine but if you don't plan to read don't bother to take the class!

Class is discussion-based and partic./attendance is a big part of grade. Not always easy to understand, but she is helpful at office hours. Only problem is that she doesn't give timely feedback on essays and her guidelines for projects are vague. She's about average. Some MU English professors are definitely better, but a lot are definitely worse.

Not an easy course but Dr.Rineer was a very helpful and caring teaching. Class is largely discussion based and you must do the readings in order to succeed. If you do the readings and take good notes in class it should be a breeze.

Rineer is a kind woman, but not a very good professor. She does not teach much, as our entire class was presentation based. Our class "discussions" involved posing questions at her and the GA (who was definitely high all the time) and not getting a definitive answer. Be sure to do all class work on time as she does not generally accept late work.

Dr. Rineer is one of the best professors at Millersville. Though her grading is tough, you will gain a lot of knowledge from this class if you put the effort in. Go to every single class, she takes it into consideration for your final grade. She is extremely helpful if you need to go to her with questions. Expect group projects to be tough though.

Rineer is literally one of my favorite professors. Sometimes her assignments are a little confusing because she likes to give you a lot of space for creativity for essays but if you need more help she's really amazing in one-on-one help and giving you hints and tips. She loves group projects and they are usually video projects. Again, amazing!

She's honestly great and kinda funny sometimes too. Easy going, easy to get along with and very helpful when you ask. I wish I could take her for EVERY English class at MU!!

Get on her good side if you can. She values and appreciates student opinions on readings and encourages participation. The assignments aren't exceedingly difficult, as they're primarily opinion based. She's a cool person and runs a casual classroom environment. She does prefer visual group projects. Be prepared to make some sort of video

Its a 400 level class, so the hardcore midterm is expected, as well as the readings required. She is extremely caring and laidback. She is easily one of my top professors. She wants her students to do well, not just memorize.

I've taken a couple classes with Dr. Rineer and she is easily one of my favorite professors. The most she usually asks for is that you read and be able to discuss the reading in class. She very much teaches through discussion. Take her and get ready to read, write, and speak up in class! Can't recommend her enough.
