Dr. Dunn is a great professor. There are weekly readings and quizzes, 4 exams, 1 theory paper. He is great at responding to emails. Class can get off track at times which leaves course material to be covered quickly sometimes. Tests can be a little difficult due the the way he words questions.

Ryan is huge on participation and does track it, so come to class prepared! Lectures in a way that the information sticks with you. He wants you to retain the information, not just purge it. He does require quizzes from the textbook without him teaching the information, so reading the textbook on your own and taking the quizzes is crucial.

Ryan is one of my favorite teachers. He doesn't believe that a grade should be based on tests so his high-stake grades go to participation and assignments. If you get the basic concepts from the chapters and go to most the lectures you should do well. If you have a problem with anything, even in life, GO VISIT HIM IN HIS OFFICE.

Prof. Dunn was engaging to listen to and you can tell that he really cares about his students. There are many assignments in this class which means that if you have trouble with a few, you can still easily get a good grade. Not an easy A but still enjoyable. He's quick to respond to emails and willing to talk outside of class.

Ryan is by the far the best professor I have ever had. He is so caring and willing to help you succeed. He'll go out of his way to meet with you and explain assignments more. I was gone for almost 2 weeks during his class and he was so willing to work with me on the things I missed. He explains materials so well and truly loves his job. Best one!

Dr. Dunn was my human development professor during my first semester of college and he was amazing! I really enjoyed his lectures, he always made sure to tie the developmental concepts into our lives. There are four tests throughout the term but no cumulative final. Amazing!

Dr. Dunn is a nice man. However, this class is nothing but pointless busy work. I already have a bachelor's degree, I took this as a pre-req for grad school. CHF 1500 is an intro general ed class and has more busy work than my upper division undergrad classes. Reading, videos, multiple assignments a week, tests, papers, etc. Avoid CHF 1500.

He's awesome and actually likes his job and you can tell. Big grading factors are 4 tests and an interview project which isn't too bad. Don't have to take tests in the testing center and you get a note card. Tests aren't too hard. Very similar to a psychology class so if you're thinking about that, this class is helpful. Good option for a gen ed

Professor Dunn has a really good class environment. The class itself is decently difficult, but totally doable. Most all work is done in a small group. You will learn a lot and Professor Dunn really cares about his students. There are also a few short quizzes taken for credit on your own. If needing this class, I would take it with Dunn.

He is amazing. Seriously, choose him if you do Human Development. He checks in with the class regularly, provides study helps, and is constantly cheering the class on. You can tell that he loves what he does. The only negative thing is McGraw Hill doesn't always line up with the quizzes and tests and such, but that's not necessarily his fault.

He is a very energetic professor, especially for a morning class. He knows his stuff and has lots of resources for you to learn it too. He makes the class more enjoyable by adding comedian clips, funny ads, and kahoots. He makes sure to teach things that are applicable outside of class, teaching students to be prepared for life not just the exams.

Everything was pretty easy, there was just a lot of it. Tests were VERY easy, the study guides were kinda annoying but you're allowed notes on the tests (they are online on Canvas) so it's whatever. They're worth 5 points you could probably skip them and be fine. I skipped the final essay and still passed, don't recommend doing that though.

His class's homework load was equal to that of my 15 other credit hours. He is very lecture heavy, but videos give same info.

Professor Dunn was a good teacher. You can feel his passion for the subject and teaching. Like some of the other reviews have said, it is very work heavy. I took this as a first block class, and in order to get through it, there was something due almost every day by midnight, including some Saturdays. A LOT of reading. Quizzes, assignments, paper.
