CollegeEasy class. just take notes during lecture and make sure to review them for midterm. Dunn is such a nice and caring guy, always willing to help his students :)
He's a very kind and charismatic professor. His lectures are easy to understand. I took her during my spring quarter of 2020 during quarantine and he made the class fun.
He's a great professor, very passionate and well-organized. A bit boring but I think that's because I wasn't too interested in the subject but that's not his fault. Class was an easy A as long as you're willing to do the work, would definitely recommend!
Lectures can be long, but Dunn is very passionate about the subject! CLASS 60 was a brand new class for Spring 2018. Really helpful during office hours. Participate a little bit for your participation grade. Midterm and Final + Project with very clear guidelines, very easy if you study major people or events that were mentioned in lecture!
This class has actually been great. There's only a midterm, a final paper, and a final exam. Dunn is very passionate and tries his best to make the topics interesting. He is a good lecturer and enjoys when people ask questions. All you have to do to get an A or B is pay attention and read the assigned texts.
30% Midterm, 30% Paper/Project, 30% Final, & 10% Participation. Lectures were somewhat boring and readings were lengthy but Dunn does a good job of focusing on what you need to know for the test during lecture. Exams are fairly short with IDs and a short essay. Dunn is passionate about classics and seems very knowledgable. Interesting class!
