The class was straightforward with the grading fair, reading wasn't too heavy but it could get a little dense. Professor was very dull & disengaging, you could tell everyone was dreading being in lecture. The material has potential to be interesting but the way it's presented reflects a very clear agenda of the department. Don't take unless needed!

Tests consist of material pulled directly from powerpoints, readings, & lecture intros. Reading load is heavy, but straightforward. Boring lectures and he goes off on tangents- just know what's on the slides (luckily he sends them out). He stressed reading intros before lectures, but often posted them way later (kind of annoying). Easy pop quizzes.

Gunn is pretty verbose in his explanations, both in class and in the reading. Just as others on here are saying, I think he likes to display his intelligence by pumping the lecture slides full of multi-syllabic words that are pretty unnecessary and often seem to confuse even him. Pop quizzes weren't difficult if you did the reading.

Prof Gunn is very intelligent, but when he tries to communicate his points, he comes off as long-winded and difficult to comprehend. He often can't finish his lectures on time bc they are so dense with info. Still a caring/kind dude who deserves respect. Tests are easy as long as you read lecture intros, and pop quizzes in section every 3 weeks.

Super smart guy, but I don't think he should be teaching an intro class. His readings are way too long than it needs to be and loses the main idea after too many lines. Lectures he tries to cram too much info and doesn't even post the lecture slides. The topics of the class are interesting but I think he's better suited for upper division students

Horrible prof, would not take this class again with him again. Class material isn't bad, but the readings are long and drawn out. Final and midterm are written horribly. Lecture is unnecessary and extremely boring. Just read the slides later.
