Mr. Dunne is very helpful, friendly and fun.
mr dunne is a very intresting teacher. I had him for both film as lit and mythology. He teaches in a manner that is actually worth going to class for. He makes jokes and works with his students. As long as you show effort youll be golden!
Cool teacher. We watched a lot of movies. Good teacher. Tests multiple choice. Made mythology interesting. The book was a little confusing to me, but still Highly recommended this instructor.
Great Teacher, Funny, Helpful. Again, Great teacher
Awesome teacher who's funny and cares about his students
Real laid back type. Real easy class
Very laid back, but is an awesome teacher. His mythology class was one of the only classes I have really enjoyed going to. He truly cares about his students.
Awesome guy, very helpful and caring towards students. Some writing involved, but the assignments are easy, tests are very easy. He is an amazingly understanding teacher. Watched lots of moves, and learned from them. highly recommend him. ver few students dropped his class
What a cool guy. Very funny and understanding. Really laid back. Watched a few movies in class, have one group project to do. He made mythology interesting. Very unique instructor, would take another class of his.
I absolutely loved his teaching style which is as easy going as he is. This is one instructor that you want to work hard for and attend every class. He makes an already intriging subject that much more interesting a presented in a refreshing manner. I am a better student simply for taking his courses. I didn't even mind having to drive to Tracy!
hellllla cool teacher! :)
Mr. Dunne is an awesome teacher! He's funny and entertaining. He's helpful and friendly. I took him over the summer and we had to do a 2 page essay every week, but he wasn't a very hard grader and you were given a lot of freedom with the essays. The rest of the class was pretty easy as well, but not too easy.
hes a great teacher. he makes class seem more fun and interesting. hes also a pretty koo guy. He likes mickey mouse so if u take his class, talk about Mickey to him. he'll enjoy it.Great Teacher!
Mr. Dunne is a great prof. who makes the class really easy (take-home tests included!). We watched great movies this semester. On the down side, he got a little bit into preaching and I couldn't have cared less about it. If he'd leave the preaching to priest, he'd be the best prof. ever.
I LOVE THIS TEACHER!!!! HE IS SO COOL! AND HE WANTS TO SEE YOU SUCCEED!!!! IT'S AN EASY A TOO! HE MAKES CLASS INTRESTING! I HIGHLY ADVISE YOU TO TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
Mr. Dunne's a great prof. He loves teaching and he's very respectful of his students' point of view. He really cares about his students and his teaching style is very easy going yet totally clear and informative. I definitely recommend you to take his class. You won't be disappointed! Thumbs up to you, Mr. Dunne!
Nice guy but worthless class. You won't learn a thing about how movies are made. The only thing you'll do is watch movies and talk about them. He doesn't bother telling you how a film is actually shot or anything like that. As I said, totally worthless class. Do not take with him, unless you are fine with not learning anything at all!
Wonderful prof. Caring, intelligent, funny, he wants to see you succeed. He believes that we'll make it through Delta and beyond. He'll make you think and rethink about stuffs. Great movies also. Students feel confident and will talk and open up. Definitely recommend.
I can't believe some people have negatively rated Mr. Dunne! He's the best prof. I have ever had and made me smile, laugh, think, cry...Thank you, Mr. Dunne, and I'll seee you soon for Mythology!
He's a great professor. His methods are easy to understand, and he makes sure everyone is on the same page. If you take his class you won't be sorry!
REALLY COOL TEACHER. HE REALLY CARES FOR HIS STUDENTS AND LISTENS TO WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. POP QUIZZES REALLY EASY AND THE TESTS WERE COMMON SENSE TOO. I'LL TAKE ANY CLASS WITH THIS TEACHER, HE'S AWESOME!
Mr. Dunne's English 1A class has been one of the most fun classes I have taken so far. He's an old hippy, so he keeps things laid back and interesting. There is a minimal amount of reading, so if you like to write, this is the perfect class. His writing assignments are based on styles, and he's very flexible on topics.
Mr. Dunne is the best freakin teacher! i had him in high school... he really cares about his students he loves the rolling stones, mickey mouse, and frankentstein! anyone and everyone should take his class
Great, awsome, fun, enjoyed the class!!!!
Awesome teacher. As long as you come to class and do the assignments-guaranteed A+. Cool attitude and fun class. The work isn't time-consuming.
great teacher. so cool, he loves music and mickey mouse!
Awesome Professor!! TAKE ANY OF HIS CLASSES!! I learned a lot in his class. Would definitely take another class through this Teacher!! It is not hard to get an "A". He will help you, you just need to talk to him. He really does want to see you succeed!!
Mr. Dunne is an outstanding teacher. When he talks, you want to listen to him. He is a very down-to-earth man. I took Film As Literature with him and it was fun and easy. He has a great personality and the one you want to see in your teachers. His movie reviews and tests are take-home ones. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.
Great teacher and very understanding. A total hippie and he loves his classic rock music. Has great stories and is a big fan of mickey mouse
Mr. Dunne is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He prefers attendence, but there is no reason why I would want to ditch this class anyway. Do the study guides and you'll do GREAT on tests. They are almost identical to the study guides. He is a realistic teacher. Not intimidating at all. I would recommend taking any class taught by him.
Great teacher! Really knows his topic and is a friend to the student. He will help you learn to write a good paper! Fun class too!
Great teacher, wants his students to succeed! He is very helpful and easy to talk to. Take home tests, will definitely need to purchase book.
He is a great dude! Totally cares about the students!! If you need help he is always there!! Take him if u can. U wont be sorry.
This teacher is awesome! He is the nicest fairest teacher! He is totally willing to work with you if you need it, responds to emails, and the class is fun! He really is a great teacher all the way around!
If you can learn on your own this is the class. You spend class time watching movies, not learning mythology. If you are looking for a class to skate through this is the one. I personally was disappointed that my only class instruction was from movies. I would have taken it online if I would have known that.
Mr. Dunne is an awesome teacher! He is very open minded and if you're into gothic literature, symbolism and all that then this is the teacher for you! He still teaches at SM so for everyone in highschool and college... take his class!
Mr. Dunne is the coolest professor I have ever had the privilege of learning from. PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS MICKEY MOUSE is his motto and he sticks to it. He's totally down and groovy. Movies are his passion so he really knows his stuff. All the movies we watched have great things to say and you won't be bored. You won't regret taking his class!
i had 63% and he rounded my grade up to B because i was there like every day
One of the best teachers I've ever had. I'm so disappointed I wont be able to have more classes with him.
i love love love mr dunne. he is one of the best eng teachers that i have ever had...if you have the chance to take his class then you most definatley should. he is such a good teacher and so down to earth. if i ever get the chance to take his class agian i would for sure.
I had Mr Dunne in Highschool and now im driving 40minutes just to take his class in college! He is the best teacher i have Ever had and i cant wait to have him again!! I strongly recomend taking his class because he is AWSOME!!!!
Totally groooovy teacher! We watched excellent films, not old crappy quality ones. Homework and essay's are a piece of cake. You have to go to class to get a homework paper, so if you miss it, you can not make it up unless there is a good reason. I would recommend to anyone wanting a good simple class.
This is a very easy class. We watched many different types of films. You NEED to be there every class though, he does not give out the assignments to students who ditch the movie. Since a lot more students are taking his classes he has cut down the paper work tremdously. He is very funny and likes to see his students succeed.
This class is SO easy. You basically come and watch movies and fill out a worksheet. He has some tests but most of ours have been out of the book. He tends to over-talk ALL THE TIME but he is super cool and i really love this class.
This teacher is AWSOME! I really enjoyed his class. He is great to talk to and tells you exactly what he expects from you. I would take any of his classes, even if I didn't have to for school. Make sure you go to class to get your study guides, he doesn't like it if you miss. Peace love happiness and Minne Mouse!
Mr. Dunne is a warm-hearted teacher. He truly cares about the future of his students. His classes are pretty easy, but they get you to think, which, in my oppinion, is more valuable that cramming for a test that you'll only forget about. Such a wonderful teacher. He is easy-going and understanding. He treats all fairly and is kind and passionate.
Best Professor at Delta. The films we watched were very interesting and you will learn something new from them. Come into this class with an open mind and see these films as pieces of art and not just films. He is a great story-teller and I recommend both his class and book. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. DO NOT MISS HIS CLASS. NO CLASS, NO REVIEW SHEET.
I took all the possible classes possible with dunne. I love him. He's an amazing teacher and makes class fun. His hippy style and lice for Mickey mouse is adorable and he gives great advice. TAKE HIM!!!
if yout take his class for a grade then its really easy his test are the same as the study guide their an essay and a project he doesnt really teach though he get the students to do it for him with the projects. whould have liked him to lecture though
Easy classsssss!!!!!! just kick back watch movies
I took Mr.Dunne's Mythology course and I hada great experience! He has hands down been the best professor that I have had as of yet at Delta. Not only is he a great person but he makes class fun, intersting, and is overall easy. Take his course if you want to learn without the worry about getting a poor grade. All he requires is that you try!
Great guy. He is so genuine and kind hearted. Very approachable but you probably won't need to ask questions. A bit of a hippie... Lol. We watched movies like "the wall" and "across the universe" and "the shining". But a few newer ones also. He's so laid back. He is easy to take advantage of and because he is nice he won't kick out students that are talking CONTINUOUSLY. So be careful you aren't one of those kids the whole class hates. Overall, awesome guy awesome class.
Don't expect to get an easy A you will have to work at getting answers, but hey they are all open book tests. Enjoy the movies and take some notes, learn something and use it for future classes.
super cool dude interesting class do the work and its an easy A
OUTSTANDING TEACHER!!!! Am now signed up for his Mythology class and wish he would teach Eng 1A. LOVE HIM!!! PEACE, LOVE and MICKEY MOUSE
I had Mr. Dunne for Film as Lit. and Mythology and one word that describes his class is EASY! He's a super chill teacher and he barely gives out any homework. Just a couple papers and quizzes in Film as Lit. and a project and quizzes in Mythology. TAKE THIS CLASS!
I had Mr. Dunne for Myth. and Film as Lit in Spring 2012, and I absolutely loved both classes.He's very easy-going, and always willing to help if you don't understand something. When I first met him, he intimidated me a bit, because he gave us a "I don't like high-schoolers" speech, but I think that he changed his mind by the end of the semester!
Awesome very laid back teacher!
Best teacher ever! I took both of his English classes and enjoyed them both. His classes are really interesting and he's a very laidback teacher. I totally recommend his classes, easy A!
Tests are open book,films are somewhat interesting,note taking is suggested. Very laid back professor. Loves to get into details about movies so PAY ATTENTION it helps!Overall good teacher.
Has one group project that has a huge impact on your grade, but easy tests that are just like the study guides. There is one essay,the hero's journey, and a final with no study guide and an essay. Easy class, laid back teacher who is kind, but is not always clear with instruction.
EASY, gives study guides and the exact same answers are on the test and if you look hard enough the answers to the study guide are ALL ONLINE, lots of movies but don't think its all for fun there may be a quiz afterwards, the movies are good, he's awesome and completely laid back has some good stories, one big group assignment and two essays.
Best professor I've ever had. Knowledgeable, very helpful and a down to earth kind of a guy. Has fun with us students and is very approachable. I wish he taught more classes. Tells some great stories related to the subject.
Very good teacher!
Really great, laid back instructor who cares about his students. I wish he taught more classes.
He is a great professor and recommend everyone to take his class!
Mr Dunne is a great professor. He is very clear about attendance, homework assignments and tests. As long as you turn in all your work, you get a good grade!
Prof. Dunne was an absolutely amazing teacher. Not only does he show that he cares about people as his students, but also as people. He trusts you until you break the trust. I loved his film studies class. He was very easy and understanding with what he wanted. TAKE THIS CLASS!
Professor Dunne is really laid back and nice. He is there for you if you ever need help and makes instructions clear. If you do not like the grade you receive on an essay, he lets you rewrite your paper to improve your grade. He is very clear on assignments, homework, and class materials. Overall great professor that I would recommend to everyone!!
Good teacher, explains everything clear and laid back. Easy grader and will pass with an A if you study the study guides and attend class
First off, I took this class to fulfill the humanities requirement. Seemed a bit overwhelming at first but got easier. Each class session consists of either group presentations, tests, or a movie. There is 5 tests and a final. First test is open book and the others you are given a study guide. Only 1 essay besides the group one. Good class to take!
I took his eng30 class over the summer and it was easy. We did need to use the textbook for the chapter reads. All of his tests are open book. Only one term paper. Really enjoyable class.
Very inspirational and caring teacher. You can tell he likes what he does. Easy class if you show up and do what is needed. Happy I took this class, give you a different perspective on films.
Professor Dunne was one of my favorite professors at Delta College. He was very easy-going and laid back in both is teaching and grading. Expect several tests but if you do the study guides, you'll Ace them easily! His study guides are basically the test! He's super funny, makes mythology fun and really cares about what he teaches! Take his class!
Prof. Dunne is easily my favorite professor at Delta. He truly cares about his students and what hes teaching. He shares stories with the class about who he is and you can tell he loves what he does. Hes very helpful on assignments, and everything is pretty concise from day one. Dont miss class on movie day and youll pass with a good grade.
Professor Dunne was one the best English instructors I've ever had, but be prepared do the assigned readings. It was fun to watch movies about Greek Mythology, especially Perseus, The Odyssey, Hercules, and Percy Jackson. I also enjoyed being in a group project. Professor Dunne dropped the lowest test scored allowing me to receive an A.
Mythology(Greek) - Eng038 A great teacher. Super laid back and caring. Super easy and interesting class to get through and very little homework( about a page of what you watched in class). One group project/presentation that was quite simple to do. Would take Mr. Danny "Wizard of Mountain House" Dunne again!
This class was very good, you watch movies and see them from a different perspective. There's about 4 test, and one big essay that is half of your grade. He lets you redo the essay to get a higher grade, big on respect and wants to help every student out as much as he can.
Professor Dunne is honestly one of the only professors I have ever met who is extremely passionate about the subject they are teaching. You will understand what I mean on the first day of class! Showing up is important if you want to pass as he is very strict and will not let you give assignments to your friends who skip class! Movies are great!
He's honestly the best teacher and is really good! Make sure you don't get lazy and start early on the essays and research paper stuff.
He is a really kind and compassionate soul. I love that he is a Disney fan and how well he treats his students. In my earlier semesters at Delta, I did not feel prepared to take 1A until this semester. I am just going to say, that this was one of the best decisions that I have ever made because I got the chance to meet an amazing teacher.
Professor Dunne, also known as Mr. Mickey, is probably the best professor that you will have. He is so kind and truly understands how tough it is being a student. Just make sure you do your work on time and he's fine with that. Even on days with heavy traffic, he doesn't care if people come late or miss class.
Professor is a very interesting person. His personality is definitely different from others. I loved watching films in his class, since I actually learned how to do analysis in film. His slideshows are very interesting, and he's a huge Disney fanatic. The tests are very open book, but the answers are graded toughly. The essays requirements are easy
He goes off topic a lot. No phones or he will go off if he sees it. Online, it's perfect because you can watch the films and answer his questions at the same time. Fairly easy class with some low point tricky/weird true or false test questions. Answers are in the book and films. If your answers go above the requirements, he will give you ec.
He is clearly passionate about what he does and his students. He gives great feedback and makes the experience fun. He even got access to an online textbook so we didn't have to buy ours. All of his tests are open-book. There is only one paper, but it is worth a good chunk of your grade. I absolutely recommend him, 150 percent!
One of the best professors I've ever had. He loves what he does and truly loves his students.
Class structure is incredibly scattered and does not follow any kind of consistent plan. We've done very little work during the class and none of it is of any substance. He also derails and distracts the class very frequently, and has been passive aggressively complaining about how he got a bad rating on this website to the entire class.
Such a sweet professor that is very passionate about film. Although he does struggle a little with the whole technology and zoom aspect, he truly cares about teaching and about the films he shows us. He is very strict about attending class and does not record his zooms, but I definitely recommend him.
Professor Dunne is a really cool dude. I highly recommend taking his class for mythology! I like how he plays classic rock music at the start of the class which is amazing! Taking this class made me feel extra curious about mythology.
Prof. Dunne is my favorite professor I ever had. This class requires attendance, but attendance was only one zoom call a week for me. He is very clear with how he grades. He will give you personal feedback on every assignment even if you aced it. He responds to every message sent to him through canvas within a day. Test are open-book. 1asgmt/week.
Great professor! Straight forward, don't miss his lectures.
Interesting class and very easy if you play attention. He will go off topic a bit and will talk about his negative reviews during the whole zoom meeting so beware. Good experience overall.
This class was really fun. You put in the effort you need to get an a. Just be aware of the book you need because I got the wrong one. You might also find it online. Additionally, just make sure to go to the meetings because of updates and presentations. Presentations, tests, and essays are the core of the class.
He has no grading criteria and does not give access to the movies he assigns. He gets mad when you email him questions. If you ask him politely he still will respond mad. He does not respond to emails about his grading. He will mark you off points without telling you why. Do not take this professor.
Professor Dunne is a nice professor. He is passionate about film and constantly tries to get to know his students. Attend lectures to do well in the class. Also be sure to read well for tests. This semester, he didn't like that kids skipped lectures and it seemed like assignments and tests got harder because of it. Still, it was a good class.
During the summer course, there was a 2-page essay and a quiz due every week. He was extremely disorganized and unprofessional. He would send out emails to the whole class telling us to stop complaining and to suck it up when he made mistakes. The class was pretty easy, but he made so many grading mistakes and typos that it was really stressful.
Terrible professor, he gets mad when you email him questions and has no grading criteria. He would mark me down points and when I asked what I did wrong he didn't respond. He is rude and does not give access to the movies he assigns. He assigns a paper and quiz twice a week during summer. You will be better off with another professor.
Reads straight from textbook for lectures
Professor Dunne is an amazing professor! His lectures are very informational and he is very funny. The movies watched are great and really opened my eyes to viewing movies in a completely different way!
The reason Mr. Dunne receives such high accolades is because his class is a guaranteed A if you apply any sort of effort and he attempts to come across as "cool." However, I have to agree with one of the previous reviews that he does tend to go off topic too much and I found his attempts at "connecting" with students to be annoying/pretentious.
Online class was mandatory, as well as showing up on time. He encourages discussion participation and is sometimes unclear about the assignments, so make sure to ask him after class for clarification. He is friendly and fun to interact with in class, as it's clear he's passionate about Mythology.
Very unorganized and VERY rude when you email him for help or for any reason in general, I haven't had not one nice helpful response, extremely sassy when giving feedback it's actually kind of crazy. He does not care about his student's personal life and if you have a full-time job or even a part time this class isn't for you.
Others review are similar. If you were "Cool" you would get a very high grade. If not, then it would be much difficult. He would also come out as rude a lot of the times. He doesn't like it when student's contact him outside of class but also provide's students with vasts amount of resources to contact him??? Overall, very rude and difficult.
Similar to other reviews, Dunne is a very rude man. He provides so many resources for students to contact him, but doesn't want anyone contacting him???Also, if you're "cool", you'll get a good grade. Class is very slow and very boring. Would definitely pick another teacher
This was such a fun class. I learned so much. Professor Dunne is so funny and has a clear criteria. The assignments are very light. The essays are fun to do.
He's a very good professor, just do the work and you'll be fine. If you have any questions or anything you can ask him and he is accommodating.
Very insistent on attending meeting or at least watching the lecture videos, you can also earn extra credit by joining early/on time. Passionate about film & lessons are pretty helpful. One paper/assignment per movie + paper on chosen film. Just do the work on time and watch the lectures. Required textbook has to be new to access videos for tests.
He is very funny. The assignments were easy enough to understand and complete. The best part about this class was the presentations. My daughter was elated when she would see Professor Dunne on the screen with his funny hats and the room he streamed from. I can't wait to take another one of his classes.
You just need to attend all the lectures, and you'll be ok. However very unorganized. The format was messy and hard to navigate. Most of the due dates and assignments weren't in the syllabus but were assigned vocally via online lectures, make sure to pay attention to that. He makes it clear he does not give individual feedback.
Mr. Dune is a strict teacher who values respect and focus. He can be quick to address distractions, even if they're related to the lesson. His tests can be challenging, but he offers extra credit opportunities. Despite his strictness, he can be an engaging teacher who teaches his students valuable skills.
To be honest I kinda procrastinated the whole class but even then it was still really simple he highly encourages you to joins the zooms but I had an in-person class whenever we would do the zooms so I just had to stick to watching the recordings of the calls.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!! I can't stress enough how awful of a teacher he was. 1st email he sent in reply to my email was to drop out. I was naturally shocked & replied saying that isn't okay. THE NEXT email he sent was long. He belittled me, gaslighted me, lied to me about multiple things, was incredibly disrespectful, rude, and unprofessional!
He chose movies that were fun and engaging. He started every zoom meeting with a song that got his students to get in the right mindset. His lectures though long sometimes were fun to attend because he would always dress in some random thing.
Very unmotivated and unorganized Professor. He is extremely rude and unprofessional. He provides resources for students to contact him if we need help but is disrespectful if you do. Preaches coming to class but barely shows up, emailing that class is canceled last minute. Only had three full days in this entire semester. Sadly nothing positive.
I enjoyed this class so much! Every week we would watch a new film, and had an assignment attached which consisted of some questions regarding symbolism, plot, etc. The final is an analysis essay on a film of choice, he gives a lot of time to work on it before submitting. Very easy to keep up with and he is very easy to communicate with as well!
This professor is NOT good. His grading and overall assigning of his papers were clumsy at best. Whenever you reach out, he is rude.There were many times where I felt frustrated due to his lack of communication about certain things. He always acts like he is better than everyone. He struggles with technical issues and is not tech savvy.
Great teacher! Gives clear instructions and due dates which have enough time for you to do them so doesn't do excuses (our responsibility in college). The movies were interesting and kept the class fun. Super easy as it was more opinion and fact base if you watch the movies/lecture you won't fail. if you can't make the class he records it for you.
I absolutely love English 30, and it's all because of how easy and caring the professor is. Its very straight to the point, he's very clear on the instructions and just overall very great films that we all watched in class. I am definitely taking a class with Professor Dunne again!
Overall I appreciate the support and encouragement that Professor Dunne made to each and everyone of us. He made this summer course fly by so fast , I am really going to miss coming to class and seeing him. He is a good professor especially if you like flim I 100% would recommend himmmmmm! Farewell professor Dunne, thank you :)
I would not recommend taking him. I always attended every single one of his classes and I missed ONE because i was sick and he refused to send me the assignment. He could be a little understanding and hes always so rude and harsh with grading.
Very chill teacher :)! He didn't assign a lot and this class was lots of fun! Only down side is that he isn't very tech savvy.
