Easy 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!

Dunn was a solid professor. Lectures weren't the most interesting, but the midterm and final were super easy. Just short ids & a couple of short response questions. CLASS 40 was one of the easiest GE classes that I have taken and would definitely recommend the class.

The class has a lot of reading, but the lectures can be hit-or-miss. TAs make a big difference - some are great, others not so much. Unstuck ai was super helpful for review and prep. Overall, it's a decent GE if you're willing to put in the work.

Fun light class where you learn a lot. There's readings every week but they will be explained in lecture and section. Key ideas will be reiterated. Some written assignments but graded lightly. Midterm and final you choose what questions to answer out of a batch of options. Final project was creative, make something that represents a myth.

Dunn was a great professor. Lectures were interesting and fun. Things to keep in mind: final is worth 45% of total grade, some TAs were great, others not so much, has a lot of reading. I had a great TA and did the work so the tests were pretty easy. To get a good grade, you have to do the work but otherwise the class wasn't very hard or stressful.

This professor is amazing. Lectures are always fun to listen to. Very sad peers don't respect his short time in lectures but he handles disruptions respectfully. Attendance isn't mandatory (only in sections for quizzes). Tests are very simple if you simply pay attention to the lectures. Readings themselves are very interesting.

This class is interesting & the professor can be a good lecturer. My biggest complaint is the TAs. If your TA is nice, it will be an easy A. If your TA is not nice, this class will be hell on earth. Professor does little to standardize the TA grading so you're screwed if your TA sucks. Since the sections are not fair, I don't recommend this class.

Most work I've ever done for a GE. TAs are not standardized at all, they all make their own quizzes and grade differently making it unfair.

Worst professor I've had in UCSB. Lectures are COMPLETELY useless. Don't even bother going to lecture cuz lecture is just his yapping session for 50 minutes. He will go on tangent for over half of the class. Half of his lecture slides are literally random pictures of Greek Myth.

There's a ton of reading. Each section is different so you don't know if you'll have extra written assignments or pop quizzes. The grading on the midterm was extremely harsh. The entire class is also backloaded, so you have about four big assignments (like a creative project) all due in the last few weeks. A lot more work than I expected for a GE.

I took the honors section with him and I can confidently say I think he's a great teacher who cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Tests were straightforward and aligned with the study guides.

Had very tough grader for TA , who grades all exams and quizzes, and the grading between TAs and quiz material was not standardized. Have to take this class P/NP at this point. Lots of reading and lectures can be a little unrelated at times for sure.

the class had interesting material and the prof was nice, but the outlines for the assignments were not that clear, ESP the midterm and final. each ta gave their sections different study guides for the midterms, and some classes got horrible study guides while others didn't. this class was unnecessarily hard. take it with the other teacher.

He is a good professor but his lectures are sometimes boring. The midterm and final are easy as long as you do all the readings carefully and take notes. TAs are really helpful.

Prof means well and is very knowledgable about what he teaches, but this class was definitely a lot more difficult than I thought. For a GE, it was very lecture & reading heavy. Midterm was extremely hard (short answers/short essay), final was easier (MC), but no study guides. TA was nice, but rough on grading. You have to work for the A, not easy!

dont take him he really is a poor professor. doesn't know what he is even talking about. the classes are no help dont try going. He goes on twenty minute tangents about nothing. gives no insight to what midterm or final is like and the midterm was so awful barely passed had the most out of pocket terms that we never went into depth. take ericson

worst professor I've ever had. Instantly pass/no passed it. Tons of reading due every class, and the lectures literally are just him talking about random things that don't help you at all. He also doesn't know how to project his voice so everyone either falls asleep or doesn't pull up to class. He refuses to provide study guides for all exams.

His lectures and slides are extremely disorganized and tangential. He clearly doesn't give directions to the TAs, my section had extremely difficult quizzes, while some of my peers had TAs who graded off participation. A large part of your grade depends on your TA because some curve exams while others don't. If you do the readings, you'll do fine.

Very sweet prof! Readings can be a bit dense at times, but watch Prof Dunn's lectures + pay attention in section & you'll be fine. He also uploads "story" & "backstory" videos as another way to explain the content; they're not mandatory to watch, but he makes them pretty entertaining! Short, easy quizzes on readings MWF, but easily manageable :)
