very friendly teacher. tries to be as helpful as possible. lectures can get boring at times though.

You'll get a lot out of this class if you READ and write down literally everything she says. She goes INCREDIBLY fast, but if you keep up with reading you'll be fine because tests are based STRICTLY on the textbook. Not at all a hard class as long as you take good notes and read.

I do not know why people have awful things to say about Prof. Dunne--her lectures are funny and interesting and this class is worth taking. Not getting a good grade is not a reason to bash a good professor. Oh, and complaining about the amount of reading just shows your lack of intelligence.

Tests are straight from the book, but lectures are important in making connections, and understanding it better. She goes very fast but will pause for questions. Seems unapproachable at first but shes actually really funny/sassy and very helpful if you seek it out. I liked her a lot

I honestly thought she was a pretty good professor. Her tests are straight from the book and she really tries to mix it up in lecture. She'll take a break from notes to give the class mental tests or poles. She actually shows different theories and findings instead of merely relaying the textbook.

Her lectures are straight from the book, but you need to go to lecture because she skips a lot from the text. You'll go insane if you have to read the whole book. Tests are kinda tricky, but manageable.

I think prof. Dunne is great- 3 multiple choice tests, all non cumulative, and no final exam. what gets better than that? so long as you don't bomb those 3 tests (which aren't hard at all as long as you take notes) and go to discussion. go to class.. attendance counts. i memorized my notes and skimmed the book nights before tests and got A's.

Her lectures are straight out of the book, but that only means it's not a big deal to miss class. Still, you should go to class because exams are only on what she's gone over in class, and usually that is A LOT less than what is in the book. She gives you study guides and practice exams. The class is easy and her grading is fair. Take her class.

No homework. Tests, which make up 90% of the grade, are demanding, but she only tests on what she covers in lectures. I missed a TON of class and still got a decent grade by reviewing lecture notes (get them from a friend if you miss class) and completing the very helpful study guides she provides before tests.

i like prof. dunne- she is very clear in the course material and her tests are reasonable. she is able to generate a good amount of interest during the class.

professor dunne lectures straight out of the book and only tests on what she lectures. if you go to class and take good notes, you probably don't even need to read the book, saving you a good $75.

Simple from day one, read, study, come to class. Three tests, non cumulative. Good attendance does boost your grade a good point or two. Good intro to psyc, and her alzheimer's research provides for some interesting asides, too.

She went by the book and tested only on lectures. It was easy, but it was just an intro class anyway. You don't HAVE to go to class unless there is a test because you really only need the notes to pass the tests, but getting notes from other people is a ****. She told us little stories and took general polls that I thought were entertaining.

I really enjoyed her class. The subject material was really interesting, and at the beginning of the semester she asked us what we wanted to learn about so that she could make time for what we wanted to know. She always had really interesting examples/movies/stories to tell us to help us remember and learn the material better. three tests--no final

She was really nice and a very helpful professor. The class was interesting and she always tried to get us involved. If you go to class and take good notes then you should do well on the tests. She made me interested in psych. and was a great professor to have for an intro class. I would def. recommend her.

Lectures were interesting enough....no attendance....tests were straight from her notes which were straight from the book so studying only consisted of looking over the lecture notes or reading the chapters of lectures you skip....easy A

I thought Prof. Dunne was awesome. Her lectures were clear and she brought in lots of real experiences and examples that helped. She was always helpful outside class. I didn't think she was obnoxious at all. She was laidback, enthusiastic, easy to understand, and sometimes funny.

Take this class over the summer-it's SO easy. Just read the chapters, come to class, and you've got an A. Only 3 exams, no hw/papers, so that was good. She was really nice and enthusiastic during classes.

absurdly easy. i went to 3 classes the entire semester and i pulled off an A-. just read the book before one of your 3 tests, and you'll do fine. also, make sure to fill out the study sheets she hands out... those are extremely helpful.

Prof Dunne was great. Class topics were interesting and she kept it interesting for a large lecture hall. She always asked us what we thought and was really helpful outside class. Good class, good professor.

This class is really not for those interested in learning about the depth of psychology. However, there is no attendence and three tests, no homework. The tests are straight out of the textbook [which are her lectures], so you can pick, slow-moving lectures or read the entire book. She's nice enough, but you don't really interact with her at all

Nice teacher. Lectures are pretty interesting, but she doesn't always stress major things that are on the test.

Extremely easy class but sometimes she's a little disorganized. Don't but a textbook-it's a waste of money.

Good class. Sometimes no work, sometimes lots of work. Prof very helpful for feedback.

A sweet lady, but extremely disorganized. We got out early almost every class, and she canceled a few altogether. Easy grading on the final project, but she changed her mind of percentages every class. This was great to get an easy A, but I don't feel like I learned what I need to know for grad school.

nice and her tests were pretty easy but the first test was hard since there were parts of brain on it. She's kind of disorganized but never really cared if you attended class. 3 tests in the whole class and it's pretty interesting material. Her powerpoints are all online so no need to go to class. she curves a lot. C+->B

nice professor, interesting lectures. however, discussion sessions were a waste of time and attendance was taken only at discussion sections. the first two tests were easy but i didn't feel that she stressed the correct things for the final. overall, good class.

I liked this class alot. Prof Dunne always told little funny stories and encouraged class discussions. 3 tests - should have more to base grade on but overall really good class

easy class, fair tests and quizzes, and shes funny in class...but shes ****y one on one. i went to her office hours once to ask a question and she was rude for no good reason.

Dunne is probably one of the easiest profs you'll have in BU. Her exams come right out of her powerpoints and she tells you exactly what will be tested. She has a lot of interesting stories and def makes class fun. She is very generous in terms of grading. She curves a lot. Class average for one of her tests was a 74 and she curved to an 85ish.

I really liked this class. Very straightforward. i didn't think it was that easy but if you study notes and powerpoints you will do well. Prof was funny and told us little stories which were good examples. i would recommend it overall.

Decent professor for an experimental psych course. Quizzes and midterm were surprisingly difficult, but she's very helpful with the paper. Entertaining too

She's very straightforward with what you need to know on the exams. She grades papers and homeworks assignments very fair. Prof Dunne really is a great person as well and her class is definitely worth your time. I made it to everyone even though attendance isn't mandatory.

I took Prof Dunne for 101 and experimental. Love her classes. She is very clear, keeps things moving and cares about her students. She always tells stories and is really interested in hearing from students too. I highly recommend her classes.

Professor Dunne is very funny and well prepared. Lectures are not mandatory but she loves to share her stories and jokes so i dont mind going to her classes at all. I never read my textbook but studied for the midterms and got around 80s. good elective choice

Really good teacher. Her powerpoints are online, so print them and go to the lectures because she is adding a lot of new infos. She loves to share her stories, and the class is really dynamic. It's a good time, i love going to the lectures. The book is useless, just go to the lectures and you'll do fine.

From someone who really isn't interested in psychology, (math), I enjoyed going to her dynamic lectures. I liked how she used her past experiences to illustrate examples. She also really encouraged participation. Although its quite challenging to get an A on her exams, her curve at the end is quite generous.

Dunne is a great professor. She makes a normally boring subject quite fun. Tests aren't hard, just 50 question multiple choice. No need to buy the book, reading is useless. I didn't use it at all. Her lecture slides are all posted online, so skipping lecture doesn't hurt you at all.

She loves participation. So do talk in class as it makes things a lot more interesting. She is very nice and has a lot of fun stories she tells in class. Don't bother buying the book but you must attend all her classes. The test questions are pulled from class. The test questions are tricky but fair. Over all a good class.

Great teacher. You don't need to bother her in office hours unless you are actually confused about something. The tests are really easy. It's kind of true you don't need the books, but it wouldn't hurt. I got a 90 on the first exam without the book, and a 96 on my second with it. I also studied more, but, whatever, your call. Great Class!

One of the best classes I've ever taken. It made me want to be a psych major. Prof. Dunne is so cool and always is really clear in explaining things and very entertaining in lectures. You don't need the textbook. I didn't open it once. Just go to lectures and enjoy.

Dunne is a great professor, but she can be kind of moody outside of class. Her lecture slides are all online and most people don't read the book. Discussions are useless. 3 tests, no final. I got a decent grade and I'd recommend her for intro psych.

Dunne was approachable, funny, opinionated, laid-back, and her class was enjoyable overall. I would consider her class to be relatively "easy." She just needs to be a little more organized with due dates. I would recommend taking this class with her.

She is the best teacher I've had at BU. Her lectures are clear and organized, but sooo interesting! She always takes questions and input from students. She is willing to work with her students and listen to what they have to say!! Take this class!

She's a great teacher, so much fun and so interesting. Definitely go to the lectures, just because reading the book is a drag. Everything is online, including notes and a study sheet. STUDY a lot because there are only three tests so if you bomb one you're screwed. You DO need to study this stuff so don't be lazy.

I love this class. She keeps things moving and always tells little stories to explain concepts. Interesting class and she is easy to understand.

This professor is great! I enjoy her lectures a lot and even though only the discussions are mandatory, I still go to the lectures. However, she read rate my professors amd decided to make the exam hard for current students-- unfair! Other than that, she is great!

incredible professor!! uses really interesting+relevant examples/stories from her experience in the field.3 multiplechoice tests no final, book is useless because she has everything in her lecture slides which are available online. She's so good at what she does you'll go to lecture even though she doesn't take attendance. TAKE HER SECTION of 101!!

She is so awesome, funny, and very clear and concise. It's the first and only class I actually look forward to going to! The only thing is that there are only 3 exams!! and those will determine your grade! and the exam is a bit on the tricky side. :(

I loved this class. The professor is crystal clear and was pretty interesting, particularly for a large lecture. She always answers questions, very funny and the topics were good too. I agree with most of the others. TAKE HER CLASS.

Very easy class, lectures aren't mandatory to go to. However, her exams are very tricky. People think they do well on the exams but the grade is always lower. Take another professor.

No need for the book just make sure you attend class and pay attention. If you just listen to what she says you can remember most the stuff she talks about since she has a story for everything. Overall, the class is interesting (of course I'm minoring in psych, so I would find this interesting), and it isn't too tough to get the A.

Prof Dunne is a really good teacher and really knows what she is talking about. She keeps the class engaged and awake by making the topic very interesting. It's not that the class is necessarily difficult, but it seems that the grades that I got on all of the exams were a lot lower than what I thought I had gotten.

Dunne is an excellent teacher and makes the lectures/material easy to understand while keeping the students engaged. However, the exams are very poorly written. You will study as much as you can (including using the book!) and still not understand the question; other than that it was a great class.

I thought professor Dunne was a very good professor. This class did not require much work besides studying for the exams which were surprisingly tricky and easy to get the average of a C+. I studied a decent amount and ended with a B+, with some effort.

By far the best professor i've had at BU. She's funny, smart and tries her best to get you to listen, especially with her stories. If you go to class, take some notes along with the powerpoint and memorize them you'll get an A. that's what i did ! Great class. Take her, i always looked forward to her class. but dont bother buying the book.

Prof. Dunne was a very engaging professor! I always enjoyed attending her classes. I never went to office hours but I always felt as if she were talking to the class rather than lecturing. That being said, discussions were led by TF's, who were basically useless.

She's a great lecturer. Very nice woman. Tests were difficult. Make sure to read the book! Even thought most of the info is from lecture, the exams are still hard.

Professor Dunne is a good teacher, but relatively boring. No one listens in lecture, and attendance is not mandatory. She does not give any homework, but there are only 3 tests in the class, and if you do poorly on any of them, it is hard to bring back up. Tests are fairly straightforward, but detailed.

Dunne is great for people with any interest at all in psychology. The stories she tells makes the class fun and interesting. Make sure to study for the 3 midterms though (no final) because if you screw up one it'll really bring your grade down.

Dunne is nice and a good lecturer. Her instructions for the paper/project were a little unclear at times, but she grades pretty easily. Overall she's a good choice for experimental.

Prof. Dunne is very funny and gives good examples. Her lectures are interesting, and her lecture slides are helpful. The tests were a little hard, but I probably should have studied for them more.

This class is very light on work (until you decide to write that big paper worth half the grade) but still not too bad. If you take your paper to her she will be brutally honest if she doesn't like it... a good thing if you think your grade is more important than your feelings (I do)

Engaging professor. Keeps lectures interesting. Very light on workload. Grade is based on 3 exams and possibly 10% on discussion. If you even remotely paid attention during lecture, it's impossible not to get at least a B. If you read the textbook in addition to attending lecture, it's impossible not to get at least a 95 semester average.

Lecture is law, she states that the first day. Don't buy the book. Download the slides before class then add your own notes from what she says. Says a lot more detail and good examples in lecture. Tests aren't too bad, didn't study but the weekend before. You don't see your tests after unless you schedule an appointment. She's very nice.

Nothing to do with development. Class teaches about psychology experiments, then you write out an experimental research paper. Engaging lecturer, tricky exam that makes it hard to get an A no matter how much you know. Prepare for your experiment early on. Research your variables before making a commitment to them, it's a huge paper so start early.

I had taken psychology in high school and thought I could get away with not going to class or studying for exams. If you just go to lecture you should be set (or i would've been at least). She is an interesting/entertaining lecturer. I definitely regret not going to class.

MY FAVORITE CLASS OF THE SEMESTER! I'm not a psychology person, but her class was AMAZING!

such a great professor, keeps you interested always, and explains concepts in a really clear way throughout the lectures. exams are fair, great class!

A very interesting class, overall. Tests based on lectures, has study guides online. Grade based on 3 fair exams. Prof. has tendency to rant, but provides all necessary information. Textbook not necessary. Would definitely recommend.

She is a great professor! She made learning about psychology interesting. Even though going to lecture isn't mandatory make sure to go because it makes exams much easier. I didn't by the book. She also has study guides which help out a bunch! If you have to take ps 101 I recommend this class it was my favorite.

Go to your lecture!!! For real! I did poorly on my first two exams just because I thought I can read the book and catch up. But seriously, go to the lecture, and take good notes! It's a pretty fair class, only three exams. if you study, it will pay off.

She is amazing! Very interesting to listen to! She also likes to talk about realistic aspects of psychology instead of just textbook materials. Exams aren't easy, but also not difficult. She's willing to help, but will usually send you through her TF first understandably as she is busy.

Prof Dunne is very fun and engaging. Even in a big lecture, I never found myself bored. I love her stories in class. Her exams are a challenge, but studying in advance will help. She does not use the textbook, I recommend going to lecture because sometimes those little things she mentions in class are on the test.

Tracy is so entertaining, and her stories are great. Exams are straightforward, and they only contained material discussed in lectures. Ppt info is available online, and Tracy takes the majority of her info (~90%) from the book. You do have to participate as test subjects for 3 credit hours in psych experiments, but no homework otherwise.

Great class, intriguing and very clear lectures (in my opinion at least). She's very personable and funny, you can tell she wants students to be interested, not just trying to memorize everything. HOWEVER, DON'T BUY THE TEXTBOOK! I didn't touch it once and got an A. It was a waste of money, absolutely everything on the exams (60 MC) came from class

Dunne is a great professor, but I found her lectures to be somewhat boring. The class is very light on workload and most of your grade is composed of the three tests. The tests are not particularly easy, but not extremely difficult either, though I did expect this class to be easier.

Interesting lectures because she tends to speak about personal experiences a lot and tries to make the content relatable. Lighthearted and funny. Entire grade rests upon three equally weighted exams which made it kind of stressful. Exams are multiple choice. Not easy but not hard, somewhere in the middle. Definitely would take another class w her.

Prof. Dunne is great. I started the class a little bit freaked out about the fact that exams were 90% of our grade. Don't worry, the tests are multiple choice, they are not easy, but not hard. Her lectures are fun and time flies by. She talks a lot about personal experiences and gives very good examples. Would take more classes with her.

Dunne's class is three equally weighted exams and lectures tend to drag on in my opinion. The book had a lot of unnecessary information and her exams are right out of lecture. I didn't do so well (got a B-) because I skipped class and slept during it a lot, but if you pay attention, you'll be fine.

She does not take attendance but a lot of the content that is on her exams is what was discussed in class so don't skip! The textbook is useful, her lectures are engaging. Three exams, an optional paper to replace your lowest exam grade. Just PAY ATTENTION in class & study and you should pass. She's also nice, would highly recommend!!

She is a great teacher. Her lectures can drone on a bit, but they are helpful. What's most helpful are the powerpoint slides that she posts online so if you miss class, you still have the notes. It's a pretty easy, straightforward, interesting class

A Great Professor but expect the third test to be super hard. The grade is based on 3 exams,the first 2 are easy but the third is inhumane

I really liked Dunne's class. She tells good stories and the tests are not bad. She talked about a lot of different kinds of psychology which I found interesting. I am going to minor in Psychology now after taking her class.

OMG I love Dunne's lectures. She's funny and informative. The first course in college I took that I didn't not want the lecture to end at all.

Tests are really hard even though I read the lecture notes and studied ahead of time. There are random questions and some are worded weird. I don't get why people say its an easy A when the average for tests are B- The tests need to be easier

Prof Dunne was nice and really easy. All tests were multiple choice. She posted all of her powerpoints online and attendance was not taken, so you did not have to go to class to do well. It was an interesting subject and the powerpoints were well-made.

Professor Dunne is a wonderful professor! Her tests are thought to be hard by people but I found them to be just fine. There are three midterms. The first two are generally average in difficulty and the last is pretty tough. Professor Dunne is an amazing lecturer he tells stories also which are relevant. She upload slides, and study guides.

Dunne is a cool person which makes her lectures entertaining. She is knowledgable about psych, but attendance is necessary to get an A. The lectures are put up online, but she says extra things in class that appear on exams. Overall great professor and class.

Dunne is amazing. Hilarious and makes the subject interesting. If you don't go to lecture and just read, you can easily get a B+ or A-, but she's a great lecturer. She put a bit too much responsibility on the TF though, who had a major superiority complex and made me hate the class a bit. Other than that, one of the best professors I've had at BU.

Dunne was a fantastic lecturer with some interesting stories. Very open to questions, and answers them thoroughly; however, she can be a bit intimidating. Only downside is there isn't much to help your grade. Go to every lecture. Her stories will help and may be on the test. Overall, I very much enjoyed the class and would highly recommend Dunne.

Prof. Dunne gives great lectures filled with funny anecdotes. She posts all the PowerPoints online so you can just take notes on what she says in lecture. You have to show up for discussion because there is attendance every time and it can boost your grade. The tests are the only grade and they can be a bit tricky, so just be sure study.

The class is pretty straightforward, but it's not too easy. The material itself isn't too hard, but there's a lot to memorize for the tests. Discussion is required and pretty helpful, & the only other grades are the 3 exams. All the material you need is on blackboard. The book isn't required, but if you miss class/don't remember, it is SO helpful.

She's very animated, and her lectures are entertaining. I mean, it's not exactly better than Netflix, but it's easy to go and stay awake. And she's great at answering questions and providing real-world examples. Best psych professor I've had so far.

I have taken two classes with Dunne (PS101 & PS234) and she never disappoints. Both classes had only 3 exams, all multiple choice and no homework. The textbooks are useful but really not necessary. You can easily get an A just by attending and taking notes. She is a very clear and fun lecturer. She is an amazing and relatively easy professor.

Amazing lecturer. She explains concepts really clearly and makes the material interesting and relatable. She doesn't do slides though so attendance is a must. Really manageable workload as well - 3 multiple choice exams and 1 paper. Discussions are helpful and interesting too.

What she talked about in lecture actually corresponded to the readings. Her slides were pretty self-explanatory. Overall a fair course; if you put in the work, you'll get the grade you want. Only issue is that she talks too fast sometimes.

I LOVE HER SOOOO MUCH. Best prof I've ever had! She clearly knows what she is talking about. She gives lots of examples which makes the material so easy, and understandable. Her exams are very straightforward. You honestly don't even need the textbook if you go to her lectures. She doesn't take attendance, however, it is your loss if you don't go.

She is the most amazing professor I have ever had. Her lectures are so interesting you never want to leave. She is extremely passionate and is great at explaining even the most difficult concepts, making them interesting. There is no homework and no one checks attendance but her tests are hard so study well.

-VERY funny and engaging, wished class was LONGER -listen to her little stories, they help immensely with the exams -knock out your psych research participation project as soon as possible (fills up quickly) -no attendance - no homework, midterm, or final -3 equally weighted TRICKY exams, -Dont need the textbook, powerpoints do the job.

Dunne's class is really easy if you just go to lecture and take notes on the slides. You do not need the textbook at all for this class. The tests are pretty easy if you study what's on the slides. There are always a couple questions from stuff she says in class so just go to lecture. Discussion was pointless but attendance is taken.

Dunne is awesome. She is funny and easy to listen to. You just need to show up and listen in class to do well. All these people complaining about hard exams idk why - pretty much straight from lecture. She knows what she is talking about and you can tell she just wants you to learn

Professor Dunne is amazing. She makes lecture fun and interesting. She uses lots of real life examples which makes it easy to understand concepts. Her exams are pretty straightforward. You should do well if you go to lecture and discussion. I would definitely take her again!

Discussions are mandatory to attend. Her lectures are pretty interesting and she's quite funny. Take notes on what she says in lecture and memorize the things she went over the power point and the tests should be a piece of cake. Textbook is somewhat helpful is you missed class. Take her if your can!

Lectures aren't mandatory but the tests are so easy if you just go to class and listen. (grade is three exams and discussion attendance) Textbook isn't necessary but helpful for extra studying. Honestly pretty easy, and if you participate in class she'll tell a bunch of fun stories that will make lectures more bearable. Definitely recommend.

I enjoyed Professor Dunne's lectures. She is a very funny and smart lady. She asks for class participation and lets students share their stories. Sometimes, gets off topic. I recommend going to lectures if you want to get that A. Some questions on the exams are mentioned only in lecture. Workload is do-able and her exams are fair.

Her class is so great that i want to change my major into psy.

Attending lecture isn't mandatory but attending discussion is. The stuff she says in lecture come in the exams and some points aren't in her powerpoint. If you pay attention in lecture then a quick review at home should be enough to get a good grade. Doesn't have a final. Only three non cumulative exams. Recommend taking her if you want an easy A.

she is good

She is a little bit disorganized about her lecture but everything else was still fine.

I love Dunne. Lectures always went by quickly and she is pretty funny . Only 3 exams but straight from lecture/slldes

Professor Dunne is really clear and the material discussed is very interesting. She doesn't use powerpoints or post any notes on Blackboard so it's really important to attend class. Textbook is a good supplement to lecture but isn't needed. Exams are fair- if you listen in class, take good notes, and attend discussions, you should be totally fine!

PS101 lectures are not mandatory but I strongly encourage it. She does post all ppts on BB. I missed many lectures due to personal reasons and suffered as a result. Attendance for discussion is a MUST if you desire a decent grade. I enjoy her teaching, YMMV. Would definitely recommend.

Dunne is a really interesting and hilarious professor. She makes lecture go by really fast. The downside is that the class only graded by three non-cumulative exams and discussion, so there's no way to make up points if you do badly on one exam. Questions on exams come from lecture, and sometimes they won't be points on the slides she posts online.

Prof. Dunne is a good professor. She is very caring. Every time I sent her email, she would reply me very very soon. However, if you dont attend lectures, you definitely cannot get a good grade.

Very good lecturer. A great professor that is passionate about what she teaches, but her class isn't an easy A. You really have to attend lectures and take notes on what she teaches to do well.

A good professor. She knows what she is teaching. PS101 is not a hard class. If you review the study guide and PPT, you will be fine. Her class is not boring. But if the topic is not something you are interested in, you may get lost. Three exams, not cumulative, not in the final week. Plus discussion attendance and participation.

Professor Dunne is a really good lecturer and really knows what she's talking about. She has very engaging lectures and is passionate about psychology. However, lecture attendance is mandatory for although they don't count for your grade, what she says is what the tests will be about. Overall, very manageable as long as you show up and take notes.

I have had Dunne for 101, 234, and 336. She gives great lectures very enthusiastic and knows what she is talking about. I'm surprised people are bashing her here, you do need to go to class because exams are straight from lecture but the exams are easy and class average is always at least a B. She can be sassy but she is very funny and nice 1 on 1

Dunne's lectures feel more like a conversation than anything. She has a lot of energy and is pretty funny. Gives great real life examples and makes things easy to understand. This was my favorite class this semester. Thinking of become a psych major because of it

This class is very easy and interesting. She is very concerned about what we want to learn and I like that. She gets off track sometimes but that is usually the best part.

Loved her class. Made me wanna double major in psych. She is very conversational and approachable. Exams aren't bad if you go to class and take notes. Definitely my most engaging professor this semester.

Very lecture based. Most of the content that is tested will come straight from the slides. Main part of the grade is two midterms and a final. Gets a bit boring but if you space out most lectures are online. Doesn't use a microphone so you have to sit up front if you wanna hear anything. Always 3 minutes late.

Professor Dunne is a great introduction to psychology. Her lectures are hilarious and often she goes on tangents, but it's all beneficial. Discussions are mandatory, not lectures, but most of the information on exams come straight from what she mentions in the lecture. I didn't need the textbook at all. You need to study, but it's not too difficult

Very straightforward with her students. Lectures are simple and she tells fun stories which actually help better understand the subject matter. No homework and no final. Tests were easy, especially if you attended class.

Her lectures were really engaging and interesting. Lecture attendance isnt mandatory but she says a lot of additional information that ends up being on the exams. The exams arent too difficult as long as you study and take good notes. The textbook is more of a supplemental resource, so not necessary. A great class to take to satisfy hub credits!

She is very inspirational. She motivated me to pick up a minor in psychology. All her lectures are fun and engaging. Participation is encouraged! She is very witty and funny. Powerpoint are EXTREMELY helpful! You don't have to buy the book but she teaches directly from it. EXAMPLES are key! The videos are also important! Great person!!

Professor Dunne made class fun by always telling stories (sometimes getting off track), however when it came to the test, what was expected of the students wasn't clear. The only reason I got an A was due to review sessions in discussion. Attendance isn't mandatory but she says things in lecture that are on the test but not on the slide show.

Professor Dunne is a great lecturer. Her lectures are never boring because she gives anecdotes and examples that makes her topic really relevant. To do well in her class, you have to go to lectures and take really detailed notes. 90% of the grade is based on 3 tests, you will have to work, but I would take her again because of the class experience.

Professor Dunne was by far my favorite professor. She's hilarious, smart, and does an excellent job of explaining things. As long as you take good notes on both her slides and what she says in class you will do well. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in psych!

Makes the many core topics of psychology so interesting, which is saying a lot because I am not necessarily fond of the topic (had to take it for social science credit). I wish she could teach all of my classes because then I would actually be able to pay attention.

Professor Dunne is the best professor I have had at BU. She is so genuine and caring. She stays after class for at least thirty minutes to answer questions that people did not want to say during lecture. Her exams are not hard at all and if you show up to class you will easily get at least a B+. As of now I have an A-. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Took PS101 with her and had the best time. If you're a student that actually goes to lecture and takes notes, TAKE HER. This is an easy class and she knows what she's talking about, and makes plain info interesting. All without needing the textbook. She's super accessible outside of class and very caring. Don't be intimidated by the bad reviews!

I love Professor Dunne!! She's gotta be the best prof I've had so far. Her lectures are really fun and interactive. Attendance isn't mandatory in lecture, but there's no reading or homework assigned so you need to go to them. Graded on only 3 exams, all very easy if you go to class and do minimal studying.

One of my favorite profs ever. Always looked forward to her lecture, she's hilarious, tells great stories and makes the material tolerable. If you're worried about what's actually going to be tested, ask during discussion or exam review. She's not super focused on ONLY teaching exam material, she'd rather you actually learn cool psych stuff.

Professor Dunne is a great teacher and likes to get into the details of cognitive psych with great anecdotes about how to relate the material to life.

Love her. She is helpful and makes classes interesting. Don't even need to take notes, just listen.

Dr. Dunne's lectures are amazing. It's hard to make a lesson on perception funny but she somehow found a way! A tone of cool information along with the class material. Tests aren't hard if you take good notes (tests are more based on the info from lectures, not textbook, but there is a lot of overlap). Interesting discussions when they happen.

Prof Dunne is amazing. Didn't think psych of learning would be that interesting but she's hilarious, engaging, super worth it, teaches through providing examples, material ended up being really cool. 4 tests and discussion assignments are your grade, super straightforward.

Dunne is great. She seems so kind and truly considerate of her students. She constantly attempts to get her students talking and encourages any participation (but doesn't force it). Her tests are fair, although there sometimes are tricky questions. Dunne is definitely very knowledgeable, and she made Psych of Learning really interesting.

Professor Dunne gives very entertaining and interesting classes, she speaks in a good speed and builds the class towards the students interests. She opens space for students to give their opinion and to ask questions and her exams are very linked to the class and fair, if you watch the lectures you are good.

This was a good class, pretty interesting and pretty straightforward. I would take it again. Grade was supposed to be based on 4 exams and weekly homeworks, but one exam was cancelled due to running out of time - Dunne talks a lot! The lectures aren't boring even though a lot of content is similar to other cog psych classes so I'd recommend

I took PS 101 with Dunne with no intention of studying psychology, and now because of her teaching style, I'm double-majoring in psych. Dunne is engaging, thoughtful, and well-spoken. She uses abundant examples to explain concepts, which I always found to be super helpful. PS234 isn't particularly difficult, just show up to class and enjoy the ride

I have taken Dunne for both PS234 and PS336. Attendance is not mandatory, but she says information in class that is not in the lecture slides which encourages attendance. She makes. the more difficult concepts easy to follow and gives helpful anecdotes. The exams are straight forward. If you understand the concepts, there is little work involved

Professor Dunne is easily one of the best teachers I have ever had. She mainly creates her tests with the lectures in mind, so as long as you attend the lectures and take decent notes, youll get an easy A. And the lectures themselves are super engaging and Take her classes if you can!

I had prof Dunne during the pandemic; she was very flexible and considerate to everyone's situation. Exams covered basic textbook info, but mostly lecture material. Her lectures are interesting and she explains things by telling stories and giving examples so the class was very contextualized. Also very funny and self-aware. 10/10 recommend.

Professor Dunne is a little rough around the edges, and hates to be contacted outside of class. IMO those were her only flaws. Lectures are super interesting, and you can tell she really enjoys what she's teaching. The class is pretty much just based on test grades, so go to lectures, take good notes, and take advantage of discussion to prepare!

Dunne is by far the best lecturer I have this semester. She is passionate and knowledgeable and happily welcomes questions. While attendance isnt mandatory, you really have to attend every lecture to do well in the class, as 90% of your grade is based on 3 tests. Fortunately, her lectures are very interesting and she has a great sense of humor.

An amazing professor. I looked forward to coming to her class because her lectures were always interesting. She loves answering student questions. This class is memorization heavy, but if you study, the tests are easy As.

Dr. Dunne is great. You can tell she's super passionate about what she does. Her lectures are always entertaining and I never dread going to them. Even just her intonations make it seem like she's talking to a friend instead of a colleague. However, she sometimes doesn't mention things that are on exams. Other than that, 10/10! Highly recommended.

Dr. Dunne is a very humorous and self-aware lecturer. She prioritizes answering students' questions during lectures, and her class is always super interesting. If you take good notes, you should get a decent grade. Definitely a few trick questions on her exams, though. I would take a class of hers again!

Dunne made me enjoy psychology. Her lectures were entertaining and easy to understand, It's clear she loves what she does. some questions on the tests are things she says in lectures but if you attended all the lectures + take good notes you'll be fine. STUDY! (the tests are MC) She cares, she's funny and really intelligent! i would take again!!!!

Dr. Dunne is one of the most engaging professor's I've ever had. Not only is she hilarious, but she also connects psychology into her everyday life and anecdotes that truly engross all of us. She is brilliant and I have genuinely learned so much useful information in this course. The exams, however, are a bit difficult, so be sure to study up.

Prof Dunne is such an amazing person. Her lectures are not mandatory BUT her exams are purely based on it. She does post her power point slides on blackboard but her exams include info that she only discussed in lectures. Her lectures are definitely fun tho. Her exams can be a bit difficult but not too hard.

I took her PS101 and I took this class as well. She is absolutely amazing. There are 3 exams and they weigh around 75% of the grade. There is discussion attendance and assignments which are doable.

Dunne is an awesome professor. I took her class during my first semester at BU in 2020, so this class was on Zoom. I never dreaded going and genuinely looked forward to it. She tells lots of entertaining anecdotes to illustrate concepts. The class is graded mostly on exams, but they are not hard. I added a psych minor to take more classes with her.

I adore Dunne, she's literally my favorite professor at BU. Her lectures are super engaging ! Textbooks are unnecessary, she covers everything you need to know in class. SHOW. UP. TO. LECTURE. it's SO important if you want to pass her classes. also take good notes! her slides are really good but what she says aloud matters too. take her if you can!

She is probably the easiest professor you will have for psych 101. Honestly, you do not even have to show up to lectures and just study from her power points and still able to get an A. Only gives out one hw assignment per week and it is only 4 multiple choice questions so the work load for this class is very low.

She's a fun lecturer. Makes understanding concepts really easy. The exams are really straightforward.

Professor Dunne is really funny and a really good lecturer. She really knows how to capture the attention of her students. Her discussions are attendance mandatory tho. Her exams are pretty difficult since she will use anything she saids in lecture, not just what is on the notes.

Professor Dunne is an amazing teacher. The semester I had her was a really rough semester for her (she dislocated her shoulder & 25% of the time the computer system and projections didn't work) but it was still my favorite class. She is very funny and engaging. Most of the content on tests is from her lectures, and the tests are not very difficult.

Dr. Dunne is one of my favorite professors at BU. She is one of the few who I feel cares about her students and her lectures are some of the most engaging lectures I have ever gone to. She is so incredibly smart and does such a good job communicating that intelligence through stories, examples, good videos and discussions. She's a 12/10!

Professor Dunne is amazing at giving lectures that will captivate you and give you the information that is needed to score high on exams.

LOVE HER! Such an interesting and refreshing class that had me looking forward to lecture. Genuinely cares about students which is way more than can be said for some other BU profs..

If you are taking this course for credit or BU HUB, please drop PS101 and take some courses in the Sociology and Anthropology department. It's NOT easy to have a high grade in this course even though this course is not hard. Exams are close-note and have no curve. Doctor Dunne is a good professor but I still don't recommend you to take this course.

I have had Professor Dunne for 3 classes. 101, 234, 336 and she brings it every time! She is amazing and funny af, and makes me want to come to lecture. Don't really need book but do need to come to class to do well.

Dr. Dunne is great. Don't need the text, need to come to class. She gives great lectures.

Great professor and keeps the lectures interesting and engaging. She gives exams based on her lectures rather than the textbook so it is important to attend the lectures and review her slides.

If you want an A, show up to class. Tests are lecture heavy. Not just the stuff on the slides, but anything she says.

Dr. Dunne's lectures were entertaining, but she was incredibly behind. I did not like how each exam was worth 30% which made it VERY difficult to get an A in the class. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but I highly suggest going to every lecture since she would mention certain material not on the PowerPoint slides and still include it on the exams.

Exams are worth 90% of the grade with discussion attendance being worth 10%. Prof Dunne is great and really passionate about psychology. Exams have questions straight from the notes and things she says in class. Not everything is on the slides so attend lectures and take notes on most of the things she says. She goes at a good pace.

Dunne is great but very messy. PowerPoints rarely updated, and she would say one thing when the slide said another thing which made it very confusing. Write down what she says bc PowerPoints don't have sufficient info and she moves at a rapid pace. Tests her straightforward and rely more on memorization than application. Great class

I really enjoyed this class. The exams were very fair and the homework was not heavy but it helped settle information in preparation for exams. Professor Dunne is so funny and her lectures were genuinely entertaining. Occasionally the lectures were a bit disorganized but with a great TF, the information is very accessible and interesting.

Very easy class and good professor and good TA

I love prof. Dunne - super funny, and is very approachable if you have questions after class. Keep in mind 90% of the grade is based on 3 exams (10% is discussion attendance). Though attendance is optional, you should show up to lecture as that's what's on the text, she doesn't really use a textbook. If you show up to class, you will do fine! :)

each exam 30%. no discussion. go to lecture bc exams are fully based off of them. very easy class with easy mcq exams. dunne is great would recommend

Professor Dunne is a super solid professor and knows how to do her job well. Loved taking psych 101 with her, and already am registered for another one! She is clearly super knowledgeable and engaged with the lecture class well.

Prof Dunne is a great professor and definitely knows her stuff. Pay attention in lecture because whatever is said there is fair game. The textbook isn't really helpful. She's pretty funny and makes boring topics interesting. The pace of the class is relatively slow and easy to keep up with.

If you need to take Social Psych, I would recommend taking Dunne! Her exams are relatively easy. Just go to lectures, take good notes, and study them for a week or so before the exam and you're good. I have never touched the textbook and aced all 3 of the exams just by doing this method. Dunne is relatable and more human-like than other professors.

Professor Dunne really knows what she is talking about and I thought the lecture was very interesting. Make sure you go to lecture and take notes because it will really help with exams. There are 3 exams for the class and study guides for each. Exams are more applied base. Show up to lectures, study, and go to review discussions for a good grade.

Very interesting lecutres. Explains the concepts very well

75% of the grade is 3 exams and the remaining 25% of discussion attendance and assignment grades. the subject of this course can be boring at times but she has hilarious lectures and the real-world examples really help. some of the test questions are tricky but for the most part it's pretty straight forward

Dr. Dunne is VERY ranty in her lectures. We get off-topic a lot and talk about very specific things that you can't tell are gonna be on the test or not. I liked her mainly because of my passion for psychology, but you will struggle if not. She is the best of the psychology professors though, so try to get a lecture with her if you can.

I've had Dunne for PS 234 and PS 336. I love Dunne. She knows what she is talking about and brings it to every lecture. She makes hard topics easy to understand and boring ones fun. She gives tons of real world examples to help. Her style is not for everyone but I have learned more from her than most other professors. Take her if you can.

Dunne is great. I had no interest in the class before I took it but I really liked learning about it. She gives great real world examples that make hard material easy to understand. She makes the dull stuff interesting. She knows what she is talking about and is seriously funny. Would take again.

I have taken two of her courses and I would recommend her. Test questions are taken from her lectures so it's important to attend them. Overall, if you attend lectures and take notes you will do well : )! Make sure you pay attention to the examples that she uses to describe her point. I love her classes. She furthered my passion for psych.

Professor Dunne is very straightforward and she is also very passionate about her teaching.

She's kind of mean in general. She does cover the material, but tests are lecture heavy and she is scary to reach out to because of her attitude. I expected an A in this class but got a B+ because of the last test. I didn't have a final, just three exams.

She is funny and appreciates feedback from her students. Interesting lectures but they don't cover much material, so it becomes hard to find the motivation to go to them. The entire class is graded by only 3 tests with 50 questions each. What you get on your tests will be what you get as a grade in the class.

Easy hub class. Lectures were engaging :)

Aside the three exams that make up 90% of your grade, Dunne's class is great. Lectures are really important since some of the content on the quizzes are directly from her and not on the slides. Make sure to take note of almost everything she says in class. Overall, psych is pretty straightforward, just don't pile up the material and study weekly

Dunne's class is pretty straightforward - just make sure to attend lectures and take detailed notes, as the exams are heavily based on her in-class content. unstuckstudy ai's practice tests were a big help for exam prep too.

I love Dunne. Cognitive is not an easy class but she makes it fun and interesting. Knows how to make hard stuff understandable.

One of my favorite professors! Such a hilarious and overall knowledgeable professor, her lectures are always so lively and fun. Attendance isn't mandatory and she only has 3 exams, none of which are cumulative. She is super passionate about the subject and that's evident in her lectures.

Overall the class was really great. Professor Dunnes lectures are entertaining and you want to make sure you attend them because some of whats on the quizzes is directly from what she says and not on the powerpoint. There are three exams that make up for 90% of your grade, but if you try and study the material weekly, you should be fine.

Prof Dunne is a nice person. She might be too old to follow some GenZ correctness, but she's definitely not rude at all. Powerpoints are clear and informative; exams are clear and relevant in the content. You need to study for it. The most caring thing is that she pushes the final exam to the last day of class instead of the final exam week. Good?

Lectures are very engaging and she clearly knows her stuff. However your entire grade is going to be made up of 3 exams so make sure you study for them. Ask questions and participate, I would recommend others to take this class as it is easy to succeed.

Easy HUB class, but your grade is determined by 3 exams + 10% of your grade is attendance at discussions.

the only con of taking her is her class is very exam heavy, 90% of you grade is based off your exams and 10% is from discussion attendance. attendance isn't mandatory in her lectures, however you learn so much more by attending since she tends to apply the content into her experiences. she's amazing and she makes the class entertaining too.

Prof Dunne could be the best lecturer at BU if she utilized basic tech features in her ppts better. She explains neuroanatomy with ease but can't seem to figure out how to embed a video in her ppt and would waste about 5min/class trying to do so. Mind-boggling. Exams are easy if you attend a lecture and homework is even easier - just don't cheat!!

Her class is so easy. No attendance taken but the slides make no sense without lecture and she doesn't record them so you should show up.

Dunne is lovely. You will really learn in her class. On some days, lecture may feel slower than others. But, Dunne really makes sure that you understand what she is teaching. I'd definitely take a class with her again. The class is graded off of 3 non-cumulative exams and a discussion participation grade.

She is super funny and I love her tangents. Listen and take good notes though because the slides don't say much.

Prof Dunne is amazing! Lectures are so interesting and she explains the topics really well. The course is simple and exams are straightforward. 100% would take again.

Her lectures are very fun and she has a lot of great stories. The materials are quite easy and pretty much everything you need to know is on the PPT slides. I barely went to class and still got an A

She gives great stories which make lectures fun. Tests are exactly what she goes over in class. Would 100% take her classes again.

Chill class, I'd definitely recommend. Definitely had to study a little for exams but they were not bad. Going to lecture is important but not mandatory. My TF was great. There's a weekly homework but otherwise really light.

I've had Dunne for a few classes I love that she knows things off the top of her head. That's why her lectures are easy to listen to because she is not reading off slides. For the study guide, she didn't say there wasn't one, she said it hadn't changed from last year, Peeps need to get their facts straight. I'd def take another class with Dunne,

Professor Dunne gives wonderful lectures, attendance in lecture is not mandatory but I personally think going to her lecture is necessary. She won't post lecture videos, just slides, and there will be few things on the exam that won't be on the slides but in her lectures. 75% exam, the rest are discussion attendance and homework.

Professor Dunne is amazing! This class is test heavy but all the tests are super easy. Everything is online and no attendance required. I barely went to class and still got an A. But the lectures are definitely worth to go. We also barely had any homework. All of them are ten multiple choice questions at max.

Professor Dunne is great. I really liked her lecture style. She can seem "no nonsense" but I think it's because she is Gen X. She is very clear and direct. Her lectures are easy to listen to and she explains hard concepts well.
