She rocks! Only slackers dislike her because they don't want to work!
difficult, extremely good teacher, you learn SO much
She is amoung the best teachers I have ever had! You ROCK Dr. Seelinger
GREAT TEACHER! In my opinion, the very best. I learned more in her class than i have in four years.
I absolutely love this woman!!!! This is one of the best, if not the best, class I have ever taken at Marshall. I heard that someone rated her and said that she hated the world. How could someone say that about her?
Great teacher and makes learning so much fun!
Greatest Teacher in the world. Very helpful to incoming freshman. Can find an answer to almost any question.
She is one of the most inspiring professors at Marshall. Her enthusiasm makes you want to go out and be a great teacher who gets involved in the system and really tries to change things!
Awesome professor!
shes awesome, funny, and shes one of the few that cares about students.
This lady is the best teacher in Jenkins Hall. At least the best one I've taken. I consider myself priviledged to have had her for 2 classes. She is so excited about teaching. That sets such a good example for future educators.
Best education professor at Marshall! I actually learned in this class! Always willing to help!

Inspiring. Enthuastic. One of best education prof. ever. Shes a friend. She shows us what we will have to go though as teachers. She sets high goals for us that we want to complete for ourselves as well as her :)
She's the coolest!
One of the two best professors I have ever had. Nothing else needs to be said.
Fantastic. absolutely love this professor. she is a wonderful help, so enthusiastic, and excited about teaching. hope to be half the teacher she is.
She does not like men or athletes. She has one serious grudge!!!!
I know somebody who is and excellent teacher, and when he had to go in front of her to defend his portfolio, she failed him. He defended his port. again in front of a different panel and passed with flying colors. He didnt do anything different. (wierd)
Dr. Seelinger is awesome! She's out there with her own views, but can still respect everyone elses...no matter how much she disagrees with them. I learned more in her class than any other I've ever had.
I've only had her for one day and I already love her! She is enthusiastic about the course and seems really down to earth. Can't wait to see what the semester has in store.
She has by far been the most enthusiastic & helpful prof. in 10 yrs. on/off @ MU. She is fun,intelligent,experienced,exciting,& inspiring. I think she's terrific overall.
Great teacher.
Loved her. Is still my favorite teacher. Does not hate men or athletes...loves all her students. Does her best to help you do your best. Cares about all of her students and wants to make sure that your college experience is a great one! Take her!
She is the best UNI teacher! I learned so much about the education department from her. She was always eager to answer ant of our questions with her spunky attitude. She is so interesting!
She is the best UNI teacher and friend in the whole world. She actually cares about her students and goes out on a limb to help them.(Even the ones the society may look down on!) She is just the best and I highly recommend her!!!
Dr. Seelinger does teach you a lot of important information in her class, but I think her study guides are entirely too long for a 70-80 question test! The study guide for my non-comprehensive final was over 200 questions long!
Dr. Seelinger is a wonderful professor. She is very helpful and understanding. Class is extremely exciting with her leading it. It was very refreshing to see a professor so alive with enthusiasm for her job. Loved the class!!!!!
She is the best teacher and person I have had the privilege to know. She is extremely intelligent and enthusiastic about the class. She is also caring and helpful to the students. she is just a wonderful woman!
One tough enthusiastic cookie! She is the definition of "firm, but Fair" Learned tons, and the work we did was actually relevant AND interesting...Imagine that! TAKE HER!
She is fantastic! Sometimes a little tough, but well worth it! Don't be afraid to take a risk!!
Dr. Seelinger is the best professor I have has in my four years at Marshall. She is excited about this class and loves to teach, it shows and rubs off on her students. Her study guides are very long but extremely helpful. This class is hands down the hardest B I have ever earned, but I have actul
This teacher seems angry. Her classes are like a circus. If you want to be entertained, take her class. If you want to learn, take another teacher.
Runied a great learning experience for me...Boring, boring, boring...got the idea? Wasted my time and gave busy work. I learned more from the book than from her busy work.
This is instructor is not fair. Man=fail. Opinions=fail. Study=fail. Argue against her views=fail. Female=pass. Feminist=pass. Got the idea?
One of the best teachers I have ever had - amazingly dedicated to her students (male AND female!!) Only the slackers & losers who can't get into Dr Arthur's "automatic A" classes complain about her! Get MY drift?!?!
Easy A, but I had to lie about my views. Automatic "F" if you disagree with her grading, views, attendance etc. Does not help students. Your best bet is to take web CT.
Had the Dragon Lady for Methods, Aced it, so I'm not biased about my grade. The woman is a freak, and couldn't teach herself out of a wet bag. Just regurgitate what she says and pretend she's a freaking genius. I will give her this: if you suck, she will let you know -we recognize our own.
This class only operates due to overheads. She loves them!!! You do not have to go to class, just ask her for copies of the overhead--save yourself time and energy. Heck, you will even learn more from just reading the overhead, than listening to her "preach" for hours!
She has favorites and will show it.....not a nice lady even to me, a girl. She has some good viewpoints about education but I would not recommend her. The class is ridiculous!11
I LOVE her animations, however she is very hard and strict. The caldecott quizzes are aweful. She picks the things that you would never think of to ask. Very hard. If you have a photographic memory, you should do well in her class.
This was an awesome class. I learned a TON, and the professor was very helpful. I don't know what all this junk is about being graded unfairly for not sharing her views (or for being male!) -- she treated everyone fairly and made it very clear that she valued everyone's opinion.
Said she would be in her office, yet was nowhere to be found during her office hours. Not there for students.
Anyone who complains about this woman is insane. I have learned more from her than anyone else during my 3 years here at Marshall. AMAZING WOMAN. Loves everyone (male and female) and is always more than willing to help. She's tough, but worth it. Values everyones opinion.
Best professor in the world. Unlike other posts she has always been in her office when I was there. She is extremely helpful to students and does everything this possible to help you solve a problem. I will be taking her for any class she teaches. I highly recommend taking her classes.
Worst teacher EVER!!!! She is only worried about herself and not about her students. It is NOT all about you, Dr. Seelinger. How about helping the students do good in your class?
This woman knows nothing about teaching children--yet will lecture like she knows it all. The class is a complete waste of my time and money. You can go to the Cabell County Library, talk to a librarian and learn more in one day--then I have learned all semester.
I can't believe anyone would say anything negative about this woman-- she is an amazing teacher, and she really does care about ALL of her students. I laughed at the comment that said, "How about helping your students do good!" Obviously this person needs to take her English class, too!
Best prof in the world! She knows her stuff. The class is a challenge, but she does everything she can to make sure you know it. She wants you to UNDERSTAND education law, not just read about it. Very helpful and hilarious!!
TERRIBLE teacher. I am going to ask for a refund. I did not learn anything from her. She spent time talking about other teachers. Was too busy critizing than to teach. Only values her opinion, not other students. Very hypocritical. Talks a good story, but lives a different story. Too angry.
I was interested in this class. However, I don't feel like I have learned anything. I wish I did not have to go to class, I could have learned more getting copies of overheads and reading the book. She does not know how to teach, nor has any "real" teaching experience. Needs to find a new career
Are you kidding me? We'd be better off if she didn't show up and waste our time in class-she doesn't have the first clue on how to teach.
shame on anyone who says anything bad about Dr. Seelinger. she is great and friendly even after the class is over. She is a great lady and a great teacher. take her class
Where can I get a refund? This class was a complete waste of my time. I did not find her helpful, friendly, or fun. She was bitter, angry, and self-centered. I wish she would have concentrated more time on the course material than other things going on. She also involved herself in private converstations with the students.Oh, and I did get an A

Has this woman ever read a children's book? This class was nothing but her trying to prove her points. If you want to actually learn something, take someone else. She is not qualified to teach this class and knows nothing about the subject. This has been a major waste of my time!
Remember "One flew over the Cuckoo's nest?" She is the Nurse Rachet of teaching. Do not take for a class. I was very disappointed in her "teaching". I wished I had taken someone else, so you BEWARE!
This class was harder than I expected. Since the teacher did not teach, I found it hard to learn on my own. Please do not take this class!
The education dept should not allow Seelinger to attempt teaching so many courses. It does the students a disservice. Anyone who enjoys her courses are as dysfunctional as she.
This teacher has zero knowledge of schools in diverse society. Furthermore, she dislikes men. If your view does not agree with hers, your grade will suffer. You decide if you want to take this class, enough said.
Did somebody pay you people to write these horrible, untrue things? Wake up and smell the coffee, and recognize a good prof. and person when you see one.
This class is a waste. I did not anything, expect how to hate. Education should be about helping the students, not show negative feelings. I am disappointed by Seelinger and her teaching. The university would do this woman a service by firing her.
Dr.Seelinger was definitley one if not the best teacher I have had at Marshall University. I learned so much more than just what was on the syllabus. She taught us valuable life lessons. If you study you should do fine. She gives you plenty of chances to redeem yourself.I will definitley take her again!
She is like milk--the older it gets, the worse it is to take.
Horrible class. This woman is unbelievable to think she is a "professor". I have seen dog trainers teacher better than her! Take staff or another professor for this class. You don't learn anything and you do a bunch of busywork.
Noone enjoyed this class. The instructor was too busy with our personal lives than teaching. This was a one day a week class and she pulled me aside to inform me that I had an eating disorder! Just for the record, I did not. I was battling the flu. Needs to worry more about teaching than students personal lives!
Uses her rhetoric skills to prevent argument against her outrageous statements.
Very mean on first day of class. Threatened students and tries to imitidate.

Dr. Seelinger is a great professor. I loved her class. It was difficult, but I learned a lot from it. If you want to learn something, take her class.
I find her to be very passionate about her job. She always seems to be happy to be in class, and she gives relatively easy and fun assignments. We have wonderful discussions and she always welcomes anyone's opinion. Taking her class has made me 100% sure that I want to spend the rest of my life teaching children!
Dr. S. is one of my all-time favorite teachers @ MU. Even now that I've graduated, she's still around willing to help me wherever she can. This class is difficult, but definitely worth the work. If you do the assignments and keep up with the class, you'll learn so much. She's very knowledgeable about the subject and makes it fun to learn.
Dr See is wonderful! THE best prof in the ed dept. here! She cares about us - takes time to help us and is always professional. She doesn't play favorites and is fair to students. She is one of the reasons I stayed in the college of ed!
She is the reason I left the College of Education. Just to think there are still teachers (at the college level) who still play favorites and push their values upon you is crazy! I decided this was not the field for me. I futhermore learned that she lies to students and needs to spend more energy in trying to improve her weak teaching methods.
This class was awful. I want a refund! I am interested in children's books (ie genre, etc.) and I didn't learn anything new. I would recommend taking another teacher for this course. Take one that is more helpful to students who want to learn about books. Actually, take anyone but her.
Dr See is a super lady who does not lie - she cares about students and models good teaching.
This teacher is only an example of what NOT to do. I did not learn anything. Has an attendence policy that is useless. I could get copies of the overheads and learn more than listening to her babble. Too concerned with students lives than teaching. Also lies a lot in class. Tries to cause discontent within the class and other classes. don't!
This class was awful! I would rather take it WEBCT or with any other teacher. Take Dr. Arthur instead of her. BORING! Her teaching abilities are terrible! She is teaching college, because she couldn't teach little kids!

Absolutely the best! :)
Waste of my time. Wish I did not take this class. I learned to dislike her teaching methods so much, that I changed my major and school. MU can thank her personally for losing my money.
This isn't a class to be taken lightly. Do the reading even though some of it is hard to get through. She has a lot of energy in class. Several people end up dropping after the first day...but try to stick with it; you'll be glad you did in the long run.
Bore, bore, bore. Had the guts to tell me to quit being late. I pay the money and if there is not a tardy policy, I will do what I want. I did receive an "A" and I was late all the time.
this class was terrible. I just sat there and watched my watch, while her teaching technique is called overheads. I sometimes thought, "will it ever end?" I did learn one important thing, time passes and so will you! Take another professor if you want to learn something and should you choose to suffer,it only lasts 16 weeks!
Wonderful professor! She definately knows her stuff. The class is tough and you do have to work hard, but it's worth it. If you ever have a question about anything in the education department, she can most likely answer it! Take her for this class, you definately learn a lot and she makes it exciting.
Her class was like milk, it was good for a week. After that, drop, drop, drop!
OUTSTANDING! I love Dr. See!!!
Loved her. She is my favorite professor at Marshall. I even got my stuff switched around so she could be my advisor. I did not find the class long or boring and I really liked the way she taught. She is also a great person out of class. Extremely kind & approachable. If you ever need help or advice she is thrilled to give it. Great person, period.
Watching paint dry is more fun than her class. Buy the book, because that is how you will learn. She can't teach a dog to sit. Take Arthur or someone else. Save your money!
Zzzzz. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Did not learn anything, just got a grade and requried class out of my way!
I had to take this section. I needed a writing intensive class and it was my only option. I HATED every minute of this course. I really wish I could have taken staff. I would suggest taking another writing intensive course and skipping her. If you are a man, she will hate you. If you are not liberal, she will hate you.
GREAT teacher - clear, helpful, knows her stuff! Assignments are reasonable and so is she. She has high expectations, but you can meet them. Kiddie lit was a fantastic class with her! Don't expect a cakewalk - but she teaches the material very well. I strongly DISAGREE with those who claim she is biased against men and conservatives.
This professor is very angry! Very rude to students, hates questions, very opinionated. I went to Marshall because it was liberal, but if you are male...I would suggest you take someone else. Watching paint dry is more exciting than this class!!!

Her class is like milk.....It is good for a week, then quickly sours and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Dr. Seelinger is a wonderful teacher! Although she is very opinionated, she gives great examples and respects others opinions. Discussions are very interesting & she keeps you on your toes. I hate reading textbooks but this text was interesting. Come to class ready to discuss, read your chapters, & you'll do fine! Learned a lot!
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
Great Professor, not hard class but lots of work. I would definately take her.
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 probably the best teaacher at Marshall. Although her class was a lot of constant hard work, I learned more in this class than any other I've had. Definately recommended!!
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.
Difficult class but actually worth it! Learned more in this class than all of the other education classes!
Great professor! Really wants the best of her students. Will help you. Smart lady and very vocal about her views. I encourage you to speak up and discuss with her, helps you understand the subject.
Seelinger is amazing! I love her class.. This is her first semester teaching 207 (MUCH better than Paynter) I suggest you take her, speak up, and take good notes.. Her tests are SOOOO much easier than the quizzes she gives!
I love Dr. Seelinger. She is an amazing woman and she will help you in any way that she can, in class and out. She helped me with some problems I had with a class that was not hers. I HIGHLY recommend her!
I really like her class, she hard but I really learned more. Can't wait to take her again. Love It
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.
One of my favorite professors! She expects you to try hard and wants you to learn! She is one of the most caring individuals I know!
Kathy is awesome! It's a HARD class, but I learned so much. I learned more in her one semester course than I have in my four years here. Love this woman! You'll definitely be put to the test in this class, but it's definitely worth it!
Dr. Seelinger is by far the best and most helpful professor I have encountered in 4 years at Marshall. She is truly a gem of the University. GREAT teacher! Kind, helpful, will clarify things until you understand them, funny, real, and keeps every class interesting. Helpful with things even outside of her own class, can't wait to take her again!
I loved Dr Seelinger! Her class is hard, but as long as you read the book and take notes during class then you should be fine. She wants you to become the best teacher you can be. She is funny (or sometimes try to be) and she is such a caring person! I recommend taking her class, but just be prepared to work.
Dr. Seelinger is wonderful! This class was so beneficial to my future teaching career. We had differing view in certain things but I still loved every class discussion!!
If you can't get along with Dr. S, there has to be something wrong with you. She is not only the best professor I had this past semester, she is probably one of the best teachers I have had EVER. She is SO compassionate about equality in education and she will make you work for just a C. She is tough but fair...and SO awesome!
Dr. Seelinger is everything you want in a professor. She teaches, pushes you to be the best you can and is kind. She is tough but worth every single second. If you even get a C or worse, lol, you will learn more from the time with her than your entire time at Marshall!
This is a difficult class but I learned a lot pertaining to education. If you come to class, read the book, follow the syllabus, read her directions, and do the work, you'll be fine. She is a great professor and wants you to be the best teacher you can be.
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.
I loved this class! You have to work hard for your grade, but we're adults, we should be able to handle it. Not only is the information beneficial, but she's passionate about what she is teaching. Do the study guides she gives you, they help a ton!
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. She can be very harsh and her grading criteria is unreasonable. I got a zero for writing my name on the wrong page and writing answers in sentence form.
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.
From the beginning I knew I would not be a fan of her. Did not like her as a person and did not like her as a professor. She gave us multiple useless assignments. Failed and will not be taking her in any class again.
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!
I absolutely love Dr. Seelinger! Her class was the hardest one I had this semester, but she's such a lovely person and she's so sweet! She cares about all of her students and will go above and beyond for you as long as you do your work! Her class is tough, but take her if you get the chance. You won't regret it!
Dr. Seelinger is without a doubt one of the best professors I have had at Marshall and one whom I intend to take again. Granted her classes can be tough, but I actually feel like I learned something useful; a complete 180 from other class I have had this semester.
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.
I had Kathy for EDF 435 + 475, plus she's my adviser. She cares about her students so much, knows what she's talking about since she has so much experience, and will make you learn. She's not the easiest, and may not be for some, but if you really want to learn about teaching she will help you.
I have learned more from Dr. Seelinger than from any of my other education classes. Her class can be tough, but she really prepares you to be a teacher. She's funny and awesome and I love her. If you can take her, do it! Just as long as you're prepared to really work and actually learn something.
Dr. Seelinger is my favorite professor. I wish I could take her for everything. Her class is tough, you have to work for it, but I have learned more from her in the 2 classes I've had her than from all of my other education professors put together. This isn't enough space to sing my praises, but definitely take her class if you ever get the chance!
Dr. Seelinger is by far the best professor I have ever had. This is a tough course, but she makes sure you learn. She is so caring and wants to know what you are going through and wants to help you with any problems that you have. I always went for her for advice. Dr. Seelinger is a tough professor, but you will learn a lot. Highly recommend!!
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. The real challenges are the exams. Theres 3 and you get study guides for them. Theyre very tough. But shes hilarious, funny, and very knowledgeable. Take her if you can.
