Jamie is a great teacher for those that have little interest in literature. He makes all of the books palatable and the assignments are straightforward.

Jamie is a nice guy but he can be pretty condescending. He likes to see the worst in people and smiles about it. In class he said people are selfish for not giving money to a bum on the streets. When I informed him that I don't give money to them, he questioned my generosity. Afterwards I felt like he talked down to me. I'll never take him again.

This class is easy. No hw or tests. Just papers/essays every few weeks. Dunham is pretty laid back,. that being said he never posts grades on the few essays he does assign and you get them back weeks after turning them in. He is also VERY unclear on what he wants. Also, if you're easily offended: do not take his class.

Overall, Dunham is a pretty good teacher. He is really good at explaining things and encourages everyone to participate in class discussions. Be forewarned though - he is not a very organized. The class sometimes feels like it is really lacking in structure. I also would not recommend this teacher if you are easily offended. He likes to tease.

Jamey is an amazing teacher. class is extremely easy. Jamey is a very laid back, funny person; he makes a lot of jokes answers every question you may have and helps you when you are stuck. You pretty much just write 5 papers in his class. There is no exam or tests/quizzes. homework is minimal. I absolutely recommend this teacher. :)

Jamie was my first college instructor so i was very nervous and didn't know what to expect. Soon as i walked through the door he made a tease at me. But he makes Jokes not Insults. He definitely made class exciting. Challenged you with discussions. Clear expectations on papers but gave plenty of room for creativity. Thoroughly enjoyed him.

Probably a very likable guy outside of school grounds. He was nice. Though he returned assignments weeks after they are turned in, grades never posted online, no real way to track your progress. The help offered is only if you could stay well beyond after class after he talks to each students 1-1, but half the class could never reach him. GRADE D-

Jamie was awesome! He was very easy to understand & if a student was unsure about what to write, or the prompt he gave us, he would always take the time to explain exactly what he wanted. There was a lot of peer & instructor review before any assignment was handed in, which made it near impossible to fail a paper because you had tons of feedback.

Light on grading. gives 100% to papers that go above and beyond. Those papers that meet the minimum requirements will only get a 90-95. All main papers are only 750-1000 words, and the last paper is only 1000-1500.
