Dr.Dunn is an AMAZING professor! I took soc 101 and 110 with him and they were great! He would let us out early most days and only had 4 exams (no final) and 3 papers for each class with a chance to write a paper for extra credit as well. He is very funny and makes lectures interesting no matter the topic. Would 100% take a class from him again!

The rest of the ratings sum him up pretty well. Only thing I have to say is that he is obviously very interested and motivated by what he teaches, so it's interesting to learn. Nice teacher and the lectures are easy to understand because of his passion for the topic.

There is a lot of reading to do in this class with the book and lectures. If you don't read the book, you will not get a good grade on the papers.

Great class and great professor. Was an 8 week class, but the workload was still a good amount. Assignments are clear and easy to understand. Lectures are interesting and there is an extra credit paper opportunity as well. Just do the work and you will get an A. Highly recommend this teacher and class.

Prof. Dunn makes learning sociology fun and interesting. He always reviews all the correct answers to his exams, and even tells you what to write for the short answer questions so that you get full points. There were three papers assigned, but if we did well on all exams & did the extra credit paper, we didn't even have to turn in the final paper!

This class was great! The material was interesting and was up to date. I took this class online and Professor Dunn would post reminders about the modules and their due dates. This class is an easy A if you complete your assignments and read the book!

I took both SOC 101 and SOC 110 with this professor and he was just amazing in both classes. The lectures were very interesting and informative, he assigns 3 papers and 2 quizzes and 2 discussions per week (unless there's a paper due that week then only 1 of each). Generous grading system and overall easy class.

Easy A (spring semester) he usually bolds the answers in the reading for the quizzes! Only has 3 papers the entire semester. 2 quizzes & 2 discussion posts per week. Usually, due Wednesdays and Fridays. I purchased the book for $15 on Amazon but you can find it online for free. The book he uses is called "Everything is Obvious" by Duncan J. Watts.

Professor Dunn is an amazing professor with clear grading criteria. There are 4 exams and 3 papers. The exams are very easy, he gives you a study guide with the answers written all over it. As long as you do the SG, you'll be fine. He offers a ton of EC. Class is very easy to pass. He's also extremely understanding.

Professor Dunn knows how to explain his material properly. He is definitely a teacher that enjoys doing his job and cares for his students. As the other reviews mentioned, he has 4 exams and 3 papers, all decided by four points. May seem like you have little space to recover but pay attention to your study guide and his extra credit he offers.
