Dr. Seelinger is a wonderful teacher! She actuallymakes you feel excited about being a teacher! She is devoted to teaching and helping you learn. You should not miss a class. If you do her SG, then you have all the information for the tests. The class is demanding but you can get an A easily if you work at it... I would definitely take her again.

This class was horrible! I did not learn anything. Graded very harshly and does not care about students. Her lectures are hard to follow because she is very animated. I went to a local bookstore to learn content for this class. My tuition pays her salary, so I think she needs to be more concerned for students. Poor teacher and lacks knowledge

At first, when I made good grades, she was very helpful. However, when I made a mistake and read the syllabus wrong for a test she wasn’t understanding and turned on me. If you any problems, she will not help you. She’s not very helpful and she doesn’t include you as part of the class. She is highly into favoritism and she stays with that group th

I recommend her. I feel she is truly interested in your success and the future of education. She is vivacious and highly intelligent. The course is relevant and I've learned a lot already. You have a study guide for tests and there are no surprises. I wouldn't pass her up!

Dr. Seelinger is clearly one of the best professors at Marshall!! I loved her class - she gives every lecture her ALL and is concerned about helping us become good teachers. Only the slackers dislike her for obvious reasons - they can't cut it -- I don't want them teaching MY kids one day!

Dr. Seelinger was great! Attendance isn't mandatory, but it helps since she goes over anything you ask. Her syllabus is TO THE POINT and expects you to read/answer it all, which you def. should!! Her tests are HARD and she tears you a new one when she grades, but I absolutely loved this class! She's GREAT to help you and understands circumstances.

I think watching paint dry was more exciting than this class. I did not learn much in this class. I think the local bookstore and library were more helpful resources than the teacher. She is a hard grader, but I think it is so she will feel important.I don't think this teacher is very knowledgeable about the subject matter, not well read at all.

She is an evil woman. She is just mean at heart. The way she teaches and acts is terrible. I think she is trying to go into administration...what is it? Those who can teach, those who can't administrate? She is taken over the Kappa Delta Phi and is trying to make it way more difficult than it needs to be..I have the grades, that is all I need.

Dr. Seelinger puts her heart into her teachings.She expects you to read every chapter and understand it sometimes a little more than you can. She is very liberal, and sometimes loose, in her remarks and responses--just suck it up and go on. Don't expect to receive an "A" in this class--however you can expect to be enlightened. Would take her again

I did not like this class. I was distracted from her inapporipate comments and lack luster attitude. If you are not willing to agree with her 100 percent, you will not do well. I did well, however, I had to change my values. I don't think she is a good role model for aspiring teachers. Lead by example. Her approach is do what I say,not as I do.

Dr. Seelinger's class is not the easiest class in the College of Ed., but it is probably the most useful. She presents both sides of most issues relating to politics surrounding compulsory public schooling in the US. I appreciate her focus on Ohio's current UNCONSTITUTIONAL form of school funding; she motivated me to help work for reform in Ohio.

I have learned more from Dr. Seelinger in this class than every education course I have had combined. If you read each chapter and take good notes, you will be prepared for each pop quiz. If you're prepared for each pop quiz, you will do well on the test. She makes you earn your grade, though. Take this class seriously.

She is a good teacher and there is a lot to learn from her. What i did not like is the daily ridicule and calling out specific students in front of the entire class.

When this class first began I felt highly intimidated by being enrolled in it. It seemed like I wouldn't be able to pass it, especially taking it as a second-year student. However, I worked hard and studied essentially every day for this class and earned my 'A'. It wasn't easy by any means, but the information was helpful from my perspective.

I was one of the rare males in the class. Most education majors are lazy and expect everything to be done for them. She follows her syllabus, so treat it like gold! She won't remind you of assignments because she wants you to be professional. You want to be a teacher, right? Then start thinking like one! I had such a crush on that cute lady!

Dr. Seelinger is the best professor I have ever had. She truly is. Yes, her classes are hard. Yes, she makes you work every second and for every point. Yes, she's picky. However, those aspects of her classes are what molds successful, competent teachers. They don't give me enough characters to sufficiently explain why you SHOULD take her.

Dr. Seelinger truly cares about the information she is teaching you and makes the lectures interesting and enjoyable. There are not any homework assignments, but 3 exams. She does provide study guides for the exams, but the questions are tricky. She considers a C to be a good exam grade. But the exam scores are the only thing your grade is based on

Dr. Seelinger is amazing. Shes very tough but you will learn a LOT in her class. You have to read every chapter in the book and she gives you pop quizzes on the chapters.
