Best professor! Easy class if you do the assignments. He gives you a sheet of clearly stated instructions of what he wants from the essays. It's more of a discussion class than traditional lecture. He will pass out everything to you, unlike some professor that makes you walk up to get it. Gives you college experiences. Will take his class again.

Haunting Lessons was the best class I think I will ever take at Bunker Hill, and Professor Dubson is a huge reason for that. He's so funny and keeps the class engaged, which made coming into the 8:30 AM class worth the trouble. His class had presentations, essays, short answer responses, as well as exams, making you leave the class well-prepared.
