A good teacher that is always willing to help, but test can be hard

Good lecturer. Tests are too long and tricky-dick.

Too much info covered for the tests. Tests are too long and difficult!!

Great prof; lots of daunting work but is very flexible and willing to help.

Great prof--understanding and helpful

Very helpful; tests are very difficult even after extensive study

AH! FRUSTRATING. hard work for nothing. grades all over the place. class is mad

nice professor, but course material was a lot of repetition of ENG 261

Unclear on expectations for written work. Knows her stuff

helpful outside of class - unclear expectations unless you meet her on your time

Very tough class but the prof is great! if you want a challenge, take her!

Great prof, great class. Learned a lot

great professor - learned so much! so nice, take if english major!

The class was difficult, but I think she's a great proffessor!

Awesome! Awesome! Uses helpful examples and clear lectures. Be sure to study for tests and write insightful papers. You get out what you put in. Great professor!

Extremely helpful if you ask. Very intelligent and uses examples to help class understand importance of material. Not an easy grader but she's an awesome prof!

Very friendly prof and really intelligent. Her tests are hard, packed full of info. She grades very fairly and is always willing to give examples and help you understand.

I love this prof! She is so relaxed and interesting, I actually enjoyed going to my 8:30 am class! Yes, the tests are difficult, but she tells you exactly what to study and provides plenty of examples.

She is very helpful and willing to help you!! The class itself, is very difficult.

I liked her and I really liked the class. Wasn't as hard as everyone told me it was. Keep up with the reading and assignments (put forth a strong effort) and you'll understand what's going on in class.

I don't know why so many people don't like her. I think she is an awesome prof. I had to work hard, but it is a hard course. Go to class, read the stuff, ask when you have questions and you should do fine. It is hard to get an A but if you do all the work, you'll be okay.

Prof. Remlinger is very well educated in her field. She makes her class very interesting with videos and voice clips. I spent, in my opinion, way too much time on my fieldworks, but I learned so much from it all. Take this class if you want a challenge and want to learn!

A lot of work for the class, but it's worth it. Grades fairly. Very helpful if you need it.

Great Teacher

Pleasant and relaxed, Remlinger promotes a positive atmosphere of learning. Papers and presentations are not always graded objectively though. Grounds material in real life. Tests and homework are effective in evoking understanding.

She is probably my favorite prof. I've had since being at GVSU. She really has a passion for what she teaches. I thought she made class as fun as possible and knew how to bring current topics into the mix. Her sense of humor is great :) She is really strict and grades hard, but genuinely wants her students to succeed. I really appreciated it!

Professor Remlinger is a very nice and laid back professor but don't take this class if you want to slack off. I learned a lot from this class but she was very hard on us. She expected us to write very long research papers and she graded very hard. The last week of class there was a lot of work due including a final. Expect to work very hard!

Dr. Remlinger definately does not let you skate by in her class. From what I have seen in todays students though, maybe more professors should be like her. She is fair and follows the rules but that does not mean that she is not understanding. You have to give to receive and that means, work hard and don't try to pull the wool over her eyes.

she's rigorous, but fair. i learned as much as i put into the class. some say you can't earn an a in this class, but that's not true--i got an a, and you can too--if you are dedicated, do the work, ask questions, think. like the prof says, it's not rocket science. i loved the class and will take prof remlinger again for other linguistics courses.

I did not like her, even though she was cool. You will not get the A unless you have a personal interest in the subject to go beyond what is normal for a 200 level class. She grades extremly hard on her long absurd tests, and unless you can put in 20 hrs a week studying or have a strong background knowledge of the subject, you will not do well.

The last comment has a smiley face, but the questions on rate my professor are all wrong for this one. Her grading is suspect and even though she may help alot, her expectations are way unreasonable. Way,Way,Way unreasonable and you will have to give up your life to please her. I never would take her again. Period... Find another teacher.

If you want to understand the mathematics of English, Dr. Remlinger is the best!

I truely enjoyed Remlinger's class. She is tough, but if you attend class, and do the homework you will be fine. She is one of the best professors I have had at GVSU.

Extremely hard class, but Prof Remlinger is VERY fair and passionate about her subjects. Tells you up front that it takes work to pass, and it does. Do the homework, read the text, put forth an honest effort, and you'll do fine. Super helpful outside of class and willing to work with you however you need it. Easily one of my favorite classes, ever.

The class itself is really hard, but Remlinger is very fair. You'll have to do a lot of work in the class if you want to get a good great and you'll have to do an insane amount of work for an A but you'll learn a lot. Tests are hard, papers are graded hard as well.

She comes across scary, but is actually pretty nice and has a sense of humor. The class is hard, but if you ask for help, she'll guide you to the right answer so you actually learn. Definitely go to office hours.

Remlinger is nice, and very intelligent. I have had 4 classes with her, and I feel like she knows her stuff. That being said, the homework load is out of this world ridiculous. She will give more homework in 1 day than 4 other classes give in one week. She thinks her class is the only one you're taking, so she assigns 3-5 hours of homework/ day.

Professor Remlinger expects a lot from her students, so don't expect class with her to be easy. That said, she has a good sense of humor and I enjoyed class discussions. Go to her office hours if you have any doubts, she is happy to help (but have specific questions ready when you go). I learned a lot from her, and I would take her again for sure.

I adore professor Remlinger. As with any of her classes, you will work, and you will have a large amount of work. But you will also learn SO much. She's happy to help students in her office hours, and is more than willing to give extra assistance to students who are having difficulty with assignments. I highly recommend her!

This is a really neat class to take if you have an interest in history or anthropology. Professor Remlinger is definitely a difficult professor, but the sheer amount of information you will acquire makes the class well worth it. She's happy to help at office hours, so stop by and talk if you're having an issue with an assignment! She's wonderful.

This class is called "The English Version of Organic Chem" for a reason. It's insanely difficult, and there is a phenomenal amount of information packed into one semester. You will work hard, but you will get out of it what you put in. Professor Remlinger is fantastic, and is more than happy to help outside of class, as long as you ask! :)

This class ruined media for me, haha. It's definitely an eye-opening look at the way gender stereotypes are performed. I recommend this class if you have an interest in Linguistics OR WGS, and Professor Remlinger is wonderful! I've absolutely adored this class. The amount of work I put in is reflected in the grades you receive, so work hard!

Professor Remlinger is awesome! I can understand why people would complain about the homework load, though, it can be a bit much at times. But you learn so much in her classes, and she's such a nice person that it's hard to not love the classes. This was a really cool look at the different ways that racism and power relationships are constructed.

I took this class already having experience with the subject matter, but Remlinger definitely has very high expectations and I can see why people talk about how difficult she is. However, I really cannot see all the accusations of not caring about students or being willing to help. She was always very warm and more than open to provide assistance.

Well, don't sign up for one of her classes if you're not ready to work. It's common for me to spend at least 4 hours on one of her homework assignments. That said, she explains material really well. Challenges you enough to actually learn. Engaging. High expectations. Good sense of humor. Be an active participant in class or she'll crack down.

She is a wonderful teacher, knows her material and presents it very well in class. However, her teaching in class is not a good reflection of the assignments that are required. The worksheets she gives are EXTREMELY difficult and she is a TOUGH grader. If you don't keep up on your readings, this class is very hard! But, no tests is a plus!

She's a great person, and very, very smart. I really like her as a person, and most of the times as a teacher. But she's a VERY tough grader, and expects a lot out of you even though she teaches hard material. I would take her again, but just be careful and make sure you put in a lot of effort to succeed because you'll need it.

High quality of instruction; really tough grading. Getting an A requires having unparalleled time commitment and dedication to the course, as well as raw ability and luck. Best recommendation is for students very interested in the subject to go ahead and take her. Those filling requirements should avoid. Strong effort alone does NOT guarantee an A.

Dr. Remlinger is a hard grader, that cannot be said enough, but as someone who has had her for 2+ years, she has changed for the better. She listens to her students and offers plenty of help outside of class. She is willing to work with students who meet with her and are active in class.
