Amazing professor!! I am sooo sad that she is retiring after this semester. Therefore, this comment is basically pointless since she is done teaching but just want everyone to know she is amazing!!!!!

I loved Prof. Denlinger. Easily my favorite class of the semester. She made class very interesting and the guest speakers that came in were amazing to listen to. She for sure knows what she is talking about and does a really good job of using different teaching styles to help you grasp the concepts. I am way more interested in women's studies now.

Good class. Denlinger was a great professor. She brings in good ideas and makes her students think about topics. Reading is a must. She gives chapter review sheet. I would just read to answer those questions and study the review sheet. Put in the effort and you'll get a good grade.

I took this for a gen ed requirement, but I loved it so much! Denlinger is so passionate about this subject and always has a lot of real life examples to back up the course material. The tests were pretty easy even though I only studied the night before. Would recommend taking this class.

Comment:

I was not looking forward to this class but Elise made it so much better. There are very few tests, and assignments for that matter. They are all pretty easy. Lectures can get very long and boring. However there are some days where you watch movies or have people come talk. If you need to take for gen-ed requirement I highly recommend.

She really knows what she is talking about. She brings in lots of quest speakers to keep the class interesting. The tests are pretty easy, just know the basic concepts. A few papers but they are mostly just reflections. I recommend taking her!

Amazing professor and overall woman! She is very educated and passionate about German. A lot of book work, but it takes 5 minutes at most for an assignment. She taught a lot of proper German but also a lot of cool slang that is very useful. I highly recommend her.

Comment:

She is an excellent professor. WGS100 with Elise is that perfect mix of really easy and also really interesting. There are a couple of "papers" that are more like reflection journals everyone can get 100 on and the tests are not hard. If you are taking this class- take with her!

Comment:

Absolutely take her if you can. Super friendly and helpful, and very knowledgeable. A few really easy papers(really hard NOT to get 100 on those), and 3 tests. Know the concepts for the class and you are golden, a lot of reading, but its all really interesting stuff. Guest speakers a lot too. Great class/teacher, I'm taking her again someday!

Awesome professor! Multiple grammar/vocab quizzes, which really helps you learn the material before the chapter test. Very helpful and eager to answer questions and help you in any way that she can. I would definitely recommend taking German with her!

Comment:

I didn't have high expectations before this class, but it ended up being one of my favorites! There are always guest speakers, and I thought her lectures were really interesting. As long as you follow the directions on assignments you get 100%. I actually read the reading assignments and filled out the study guides, but then I never had to study!

I loved this class and professor; very easy class with essays that if you read the instructions she will most likely give you full credit. The material is interesting and I took a lot away from this course. Would definitely recommend her to anyone. Very nice lady.

Very interesting class and very nice lady! You can tell she really loves what she does, and it makes you care about the class, even though it's a Gen-Ed. I would recommend this class to anyone who doesn't mind reading. As long as you actually do the readings and come to class, just a little bit of studying for the tests will get you an A!

So nice! She's really understanding when you can't make it to class and makes it easy to find a time to make up quizzes or tests. As long as you stay on top of things, she's a really easy professor.

Comment:

She was really enthusiastic about the topics discussed, but there was only a midterm and a final exam which were very unrealistic for a gen ed class. Read the text and do the study guides for each chapter or you will regret it when the test comes around and you have 20 pages of study guides to work on and review.

Comment:

In my top 5 favorite professors at UW-L. She is the sweetest woman and seems to genuinely care about her students. I absolutely recommend taking this class as a gen. ed. It will open your eyes, whether or not you've taken a women's studies class before. I preferred this class to those in my majors!
