She is hands down the best professor I have ever had. Her lectures are very interesting and there is no book required. As long as you watch all of her lectures and read the readings, you will do just fine. She even gives study guides for the tests, which are very helpful.

Even online, Dr. Reiling clearly makes a real effort to be engaged with the class, and cares for the wellbeing of her students. She's passionate about her subject, and the material is interesting including readings, lectures (pay attention!), Tedx Talks, etc. Having taken two classes with Dr. Reiling, I'd take another in a heartbeat.

Would definitely take her again. She was very knowledgeable and was easy to talk to. She gave me an extension when I was having a rough time and I didn't even ask for one, she is a great professor, I highly recommend taking her

Dr. Reiling is one of the nicest profs I've ever encountered. She genuinely cares about her students and is so nice! Always replies to emails in a timely matter. Her material is interesting and she clearly knows what she's talking about, even if there's a lot to learn. Easy A, just do your work. Take her to fulfill your basic credits!

Comment:

Dr. Reiling is by far the best professor Ive had at Eastern so far. She is passionate about what she teaches and is caring of all her students. We were only graded on four tests and A paper. The tests were all online and she usually adds points to them when all the students are done. She even ordered pizza for our lecture hall once.

Attendance isn't mandatory but you need to go to every lecture in order to get all the information on the exams. There were four exams that were completely online and one final project that had a few options. This class you'll get the grade corresponding to your effort

Comment:

Online class: lectures are uploaded to YouTube and they are long. I got an A on every test without watching the lectures by reading through the PPs and other links. Semester was comprised of 3 tests and a 3-4 page paper. You can tell Prof. Reiling loves what she does and is incredibly passionate about the content of this class.

Comment:

The class is graded off of 3 exams and 1 paper (5-8 pages). One exam had a lower average so she gave a writing assignment to add points to exam grade. She will give you insight on yourself if you really participate in the lectures and the writing assignment. Dont cheat your self from a really amazing class. She was the best professor I have had.

Comment:

I loved this class. There's no need to buy the book as long as you download the powerpoints and take notes on the lectures she posts. The only downside is that the whole class is based on 3 exams and 1 paper. As long as you take decent notes about her lectures though, exams are pretty easy.

Comment:

Absolutely adore Dr. Reiling. Her lectures are engaging and she moves at a comfortable pace for my learning style. She answers questions kindly and treats students with respect. The only downside is that you are only graded on exams and 1 paper. Take her class if you get the chance, you'll learn a lot about the material and about yourself.

She refers to the book, but youll pass if you dont have it. She takes attendance, but only to see who shows up, not for a grade. Grades based on your level. I was having some personal problems and she gave me a 100% on the final paper for just trying, even though I didnt reach the page limit. She prints out her PowerPoints. Take good notes.

Comment:

I loved Dr. Reiling. She cares about you and your well-being. Go to class, pay attention, and take notes to get a good grade. My only critic of her is that you should know she is liberal and it shows. Sometimes I felt like she wasn't aware of how much her views and believes covered other concepts and view points in the world.

Best professor I've had at Eastern. When I wasn't in the best mental state she noticed and reached out, if you show you care she shows that she cares about you 10x more. The exams were online and simple along with the essays, she even bought us pizza on the last day. If you're here for an education and not just a degree, I strongly recommend her.

This is one of the best professors I have had. She really cares about her students and does her best to understand them. Shes tries not to make class too straining because she knows college students have a lot on their plates.

Comment:

Professor Reiling is great! She spends a lot of the time during the lecture talking about her life, grandchildren, children and herself but everything relates to the material and topics. There are two books required for this course, both inexpensive, one of the books will be for the end of the term paper which was super easy. Take home exams!

Comment:

She acts like the class isn't aware of real world issues. She constantly states things like: "ya'll may think I'm crazy but its true. This is a real issue people!" repeatedly, and its so frustrating to be treated like I have no access to the news.
