Her class was very content heavy and she grades way too harshly. She is a nice person but the class is very difficult.

Comment:
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.

Comment:
Very boring class and subject, we take 2 minutes before every class as down time right before she hits you with phonetics and phonology, one of the most complicated subjects to learn at GV. Grades every assignment as if its a final exam. Extremely picky about how to format the heading of your assignment, not just essays, literally assignment.

Comment:
This class is all massive amounts of busy work on things you had to teach yourself. Most classes were her giving random facts from her knowledge base that were only mildly related to the required content or going over the homework. Unrealistic expectations for most taking the class.

Comment:
A very nice person outside of the classroom and during office hours, She was always willing to help. However, lack of clarity in expectations/instructions for assignments left me, along with half the class confused on what she wanted us to do. She is definitely a really difficult prof. If you can avoid taking her, do it. I would not take her again.

Comment:
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.

Comment:
Remlinger was the hardest grader I've ever had. She was much too critical and didn't spend the time needed to teach the content. She assigns a lot of homework and grades it just as hard as a test. She's a sweet lady but in my opinion, is too smart for her own good. She didn't know how to "dumb down" questions to be understood at all. nice lady tho.

Comment:
For the love of your GPA, don't take this class. She expects her students to read massive amounts of homework , and basically teach themselves to do everything related to the class. Class time is spent breezing through some, not all, concepts in the class. This semester is almost over and I'm still not sure what I actually I learned from her.

Comment:
Too many of the concepts felt self-taught. The material feels rushed through in class and it not explained well. There is also multiple homework assignments due EVERY class period. She also said that we should plan on spending at least 6 hours per week on this class outside of class time.

Comment:
Dr. Remlinger is an enjoyable person, but her teaching style is to rush through the content too fast within a semester. Half your grade is on the multiple papers and daily homework assignments. Then there are 4 exams total and they are TOUGH! Be prepared to teach yourself the content, because its not all taught in class.

Comment:
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.

Comment:
Prof Remlinger is very knowledgeable in her field of work. However, I would not recommend this class to anyone who struggles with writing analytical papers on the daily. She's tough on her students, but when you hit the jack-pot, she likes you all the more. It's a rigorous course but I learned a hell of a lot because of it.

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!

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.

Only Professor who teaches Sociolinguistics. If you must take the class, prepare for hell. She is the hardest grader you will ever have, not a single person in my class has gotten an A even once. She doesn't care enough to notice her students struggling. DO NOT TAKE HER. I'm serious, just don't. Worst prof ever.

I would never take another class with her again. Hardest grader ever. Pretty much no matter what you do, you're going to receive a B-. She knows her stuff but she is too hard on the students and seems a little biased. If you do not participate, she does not like you. Have to be on her good side if you want a good grade. I would get out of her class

Comment:
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.

Assignments are tough. This was an undergrad class but it felt like graduate level. The guideline and rubric for assignment don't always align.

Horrible. Will never take another class with her again. However, it is noticeable that she will grade easier on you if she likes you. So get on her good side, she is a very biased grader.

Do not take this professor. If you have her get out while you still can. Tons of homework that does not increase your knowledge on the subject. In this class you pay to teach yourself.
