Puts math into easy to understand terms. He is pretty goofy but a great prof.
Dunn is the best math teacher ever! He is extremely easy! I hated math and never could understand it before, and I totally understood everything while taking his class. He talks the whole calss period, working out problems on the board. All you have to do is take notes. He grades homework assignments on effort. He grades tests very fairly!
very helpful, always answers questions, jokes and jestures not that great, grades tests very fairly
Easiest math teacher ever! Highly recommended! His tests are super easy and even if you get half of the answers wrong, you still get a B on it. He grades on effort. So, as long as you attempt something, he gives you credit. You can get the whole test wrong and he'll give you a C. Nobody fails with him!
Dr. Dunn is a fantastic math professor and makes even the hardest concepts very clear. He is a bit of a kook though and with that purple ribbon he likes to wear around his pony tail I think he thinks he is old Ben Franklin. If you really want to learn math this is the guy to teach it to you.
I would advise anyone who doesn't understand math...not to take Mr. Dunn. He does the math and problems but doesn't explain why you do things! He doesn't teach or go over use of the graphing calculator. His tests are easy if you teach yourself from the book and there isnt any graded homework.
great teacher.
Man, I don't know what that complainer was whining about. I took Dunn, and he was the best! Sorry the complainer had to "hello!" Study!
Dunn spends too much time talking about anything but Math. Can't stay on subject and does not like to be told that you don't understand his teaching. Arrogant, world revolves around him persona. He is very intelligent but not the best teacher out there.
I agree 100% with the comments from 4/10/06. This is NOT the teacher to take if you actually WANT to learn Math or do well in his class. He doesn't explain or give any details. He assumes you know certain things and therefore does NOT like anyone to ask any questions. Makes it obvious that he doesn't care if you get it or not. Unapproachable!
Not the most friendliest teacher out there. Very rude at times especially when you ask him about a homework or a test. He's not intrested in his student's concerns. Finds himself lost in the middle of lectures and often comes up with the wrong answer when explaining the solution to a problem. I would not recomend him.
Pretty good. Does get stuck on non-related topics sometimes. Corny jokes. Gives only 4 "Homeworks"; 2 of which I didn't get (1 because I took the test in ELC & he didn't attach it). If you need help on actual math problems: go to your book or a tutor. He will explain it just the same no matter how many times you ask about it. Pretty easy tests.
Dr Dunn is a great teacher his tests are easy and cover basic concepts. His lab homework is difficult. For those who feel Dunn is unaproachable I would suggest asking your questions in class he loves to teach but seems to prefer explaining to an entire class rather than taking his time out of class.
He always helped in my class if anyone had a question
Good teacher best grade I've ever gotten in a math class. Lets you use handouts on the test and gives good examples. He's kinda corny but at least he likes his job.
He is a great professor for anyone who does not usually do well in math. He explains throughly and gives many examples. He is also willing to stay after class or come in early for those who are confused. Tests are easy as long as you pay attention in class.
He's weird! I learned better with his substitute!
Great Professor! I don't do very well in Math but I've enjoyed this class. Highly recommended!
He was a great professor, yes he was corny and weird, but with math I would rather take someone who has an entertaining personality rather than someone really strict. He was always eager to answer questions and graded test very fairly.
I would take Dr. Dunn every time! He explains everything very well! He is funny too. I was absent alot, and still made a good grade. The best math professor on campus!
Your an idiot if you don't take this professor. If you ever have struggled in Math, this is your guy. I'll be honest and say that he's a bit goofy but he really has a way of making things simple to understand. He also tests after each chapter which makes the tests shorter and less to study for. DUNN ROCKS!
Very nice guy, great personality. The class however, is a little difficult, but he is very willing to help if you need it. Just do the assigned homework and you should be fine.
DO THE HOMEWORK, w/o it your going to fail! His test arent too difficult. Study study study. He gets mad when people ask him to do more 3 problems from the hw on the board. Prime definition of a math geek. All in all, YOU GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN!!!
Great teacher!! I've taken him twice, and think I'll take him a third time if I can. He puts everything on the board and makes math easy to understand! I always recommend him to all of my friends (especially for College Algebra).
I am currently taking him now and plan to take him next semester. He is a math genius. He will help you in anyway possible and gives you tricks to understand the material. Do the homework and pass the test. That simple. Homework is always due on the day of the test. Take him!!!
This is my second time taking Cal II and my first time passing. Prof. Dunn made it all make sence. I deff. suggest taking his class. If he was teaching Cal III this summer, I would have already signed up
Hes just awesome!!!! take him before its too late !
Hes just awesome!!!! take him before its too late. his section are always packed!!
This man could teach ANYTHING to anyone! He is able to make things make sense by his effort and style. Other teachers should audit this class to LEARN WHY ITS PACKED!!!! He may be a bit geeky, but I'll follow whatever he is teaching. Do homework, attend class, you'll do well.
Dr. Dunn was a great teacher overall for summer 1 Linear Algebra, I would suggest, that you read the book and KNOW the theorems he basis his lecture off of them, and does very few examples. If you are a math or engineering major, I would suggest this class, bc of all the theory. He gave us 4 take home tests, and a comprehensive final. Overall, he w
Very good Professor! A little bit of a math geek but very helpful. Gives a few different ways to solve the same problem. Take him for an easy A!
One of the best techers if not the best teacher i have ever had. his class is nothing but fair. He could teach anyone math! Hes lectures are easy to listen to and are always helpful.Tests are easy if you do all the homework, and he is always willing to help. He should be your first choice!
Took trigonometry, great teacher. Very knowledgeable. As with any math class, you have to keep up with the course work (3 units per week) or else you will fall behind. There is no review, however the text book he uses has chapter tests which work out great as reviews. If you slack, you won't get a great grade, go to class and do the work easy 'A'.
Take him if you can!!!Great teacher, i had him for 2 class's, college algebra and calculus. I got a A+ in both of the class's. He is a amazing teacher and has great office hours. He takes attendance so its not best to miss, but if you miss class than you will be missing alot of information so its not advised.
I LOVED his class! His teaching style is perfect. Breaks things down to the simple level so everyone can understand. Didn't use mathlab, which was a good thing. He's a math nerd and proud of it. I highly recommend taking him if you have trouble with math. Great professor!
Hated trig but Prof Dunn made it tolerable. Just a great professor and great guy. I highly recommend him. You will need the book and I don't recommend missing many days unless you already know trig. Doesn't use MyMathLab. Explains things thoroughly.
Took this class for summer I. This guy is funny and he is really good at teaching things so you understand. Lets you use a cheat sheet for every test which is nice. Made an easy A by showing up to class and doing the little homework that he assigned every day.
BEST MATH TEACHER!! He explains Algebra in a way that you actually makes sense. He is very nice and laid back. He doesn't use MyMathLab. You do your homework on paper, which is also a good study guide for the tests. He won't overwhelm his students and he makes sure everyone understands the material. I wish everyone could take this guy for math!
Best math teacher I've ever had. Clearly has a passion for the subject, and knows the ins and outs of every topic and how to break it down in a simple and interesting way. Lectures are short, and he doesn't waste peoples time with things that aren't nessecary. Once, he broke out in uncontrollable laughter when he realized 1-(1/3)+(1/5) ... = pi/4
He is AMAZING! His test are only 10 questions each and aren't hard. He is very helpful if help is needed. I would definitely recommend him to anybody! He is very nice and funny at points! I LOVE the way he teaches! I got an A in the class!:)
I loved professor Dunn. He explains everything so easy. teaches everything you need to know. I made an A. He taught me Trig. I wish he taught Pre Cal. He is the best teacher I have ever had. Do your hw and you will do fine. oh and learn the TRIG WHEEL!
A very straight forward professor who understands the material he is teaching. This is one of the best math instructors I have had. Do the homework, make sure you understand the homework material, and you will do great on the tests. There is never anything unexpected.
This professor has a unique an awesome way of teaching algebra! He is funny,always making jokes in class. He also teachs in a simple and easy way to understand.Take Him!!!Grades fair too! 4 easy exams(10 0r less questions)Mr. Dunn is a cool professor
the exams are just like the easiest homework problems less than 10 questions on each exam (4) final was surprisingly difficult.
GREAT teacher!! Really takes his time to go through everything. He gave us take home tests, just write down the examples he does on the board and you will do great in your exams. I made a A on all my tests and math is NOT my fav subject. Defos take him!!
Best Algebra teacher ever. Explains everything very well. Enjoyed this class very much!
Great teacher! Dr. Dunn is a very good lecture and is very passionate about Math. His lectures are clear, his tests are simple and his class is great! You will learn and love math after taking his class.
Easily one of the best teachers I've had at lonestar. Lectures are interesting, and he loves math so it makes the class fun. Tests are pretty easy and straightforward. You definitely need the book (for calc anyway), homework is also pretty easy. All in all I highly recommend him
Great teacher. He explains lessons very well and makes test fairly easy, and does everything out of the book so you don't need an access code.
I DREADED taking College Algebra, honestly Mr.Dunn was the easiest teacher. Just pay attention and do the homework, the homework is basically the test review. WILL NOT NEED ACCESS CODE . Only bad thing, is that he tells really corny jokes. Otherwise great professor !!
Dunn is a very smart professor. He knows what he is doing and like everyone says just do your homework because they're required and the exams will be a piece of cake. Take him for calculus and you WONT REGRET IT
Great professor! His lectures are easy to follow. The tests are just like the homework problems. There were usually 2-3 bonus questions on the tests, too. Class usually ended 30+ minutes early. He is very passionate about math!
A great teacher, he enjoys the subject and that goes a long way to making the class more interesting. Bonus questions on every test. Homework is done on paper and turned in at each test but you won't get it back until the end of the semester.
If you want an easy A- take him. If you're an engineeringmath major like me & actually want to understand the math- don't take him. He is a kind guy, loves to make jokes, and loves math. His tests are almost always take home and hes very lenient with homework. For linear algebra, I got an A & understood half of what I should have out of the class
Does not drop lowest test grade. I'm an engineering major and I tend to think like an engineer but I had a HARD time understanding whatever he teaches because he has to accommodate to all those people who do not like math.
:) easy A if you do homework doesnt use online hw
Mr. Dunn was a good teacher. He gave us what he wanted us to learn and was helpful if you needed help with assignments. He gives credit on the tests for steps. He is okay in general.
Dr. Dunn is amazing! It has been 10 years since I took Calc I and I was able to jump right in and continue. He refers you back to previous chapters when needed. Tells stories and jokes. You can tell he is passionate about math. He grades based on comprehension of the task, not just if you get the right answer. You must do the homework - it's graded
I took his Pre-Calculus course because he was highly recommended. Homework is a completion grade and on paper. He helped me out once when I went and talked to him but he seemed very mad at me even though he helped me out.
Professor Dunn is a role model in mathematics instruction. He has deep content knowledge, and presents material in an entertaining and clear manner. His class is structured for student success, and I had the most fun in college in this class.
Best teacher ever! He honestly cares like no other. I've taken him from cal 1 up to engineering math and I've learned more then I could imagine, very funny stories, loves learning and teaching. He cares that you are actually learning over a silly grade, very understanding and grades fair. I WOULD TAKE HIM 1000 times over!!
Hands down best teacher I've ever had. Not just in math but in all my subjects. He is more than a teacher, he is also my friend. His passion is math and he wants all his students to succeed. I wish he taught other courses because he's truly one of a kind. He explains everything in a simple and clear way. I love Dr. Dunn! He helped me in math & life
Professor Dunn is an amazing teacher. He is inspired by math, and brings that inspiration into the classroom. He keeps the lectures simple and clear. The homework facilitates learning, and the tests require competency but are not convoluted. I wish he could duplicate himself to teach more of my advanced courses. He also has a great sense of humor.
I took Diff EQ with Dr. Dunn, and I have to say that he is an amazing professor. Dunn has a brilliant understanding of the subject material and can explain it in a very clear and understandable way. He gives take home exams and assigns a reasonable amount of homework. And, as an added bonus, the man is a comedy genius.
Great professor! Great lectures! Great teaching!!
He is an amazing professor. He explains things clearly and gives partial credit to wrong answers on the test. The homework he only grades as a participation grade, so if you do it and turn it in on time you get all the points. I truly believe if I had taken any other professor I would have struggled to barely pass, but with him I got an A.
He's a laidback type of guy. He knows the material really well, and he is not obsessed with jamming you with unnecessary information. His tests are simple, but make sure you still study for them. His jokes are funny, but sometimes I would laugh just to be nice. Clear lectures. I recommend you take him for any level, but especially calculus II.
I am currently taking Algebra with Mr. Mathis. He is extremely intelligent and hopelessly nerdy (which I find endearing). His lectures are unforgettable. When I do homework I can see him making some goofy gesture or telling a funny story that relates to the content. This helps me understand the math that has eternally confused me. Recommend 100%.
Professor Dunn is a one of kind! Im currently taking his summer 1 class and it was the best decision I've made in a while. Math isnt my strongest but Dunn ties jokes to help you understand. All his test are free response with about 12 questions with extra credit. Hes old school so no math lab required (just order book off chegg). good luck!!
He likes to joke around in his class but overall he's a great teacher. He tries to clarifies stuff if you don't understand and usually does his work at a student's pace. Easy to work with as long as your determine to put some effort in memorizing! He uses problems from textbooks and doesn't try to stress students too much.
SUUUUUUCH A GOOD TEACHER!!!! Clear teaching, very fair grader, and hilarious! Hands down the best math professor I have ever had. You will love him
Professor Dunn is my favorite math teacher ever. I learnt a lot in his class. I took him for calculus II, and the material was super clear. Get ready to work, there are lots of homework, but practice is essential if you want to learn the material. Exams are easy if you work. 4 tests+final. No replacing grades. He is also hilarious. Great teacher!
He is good at teaching Linear Algebra, but the textbook itself, it gets complicated. He gives 5 take home exams and then a final. Once you take a final, it gets BRUTAL because nobody finished it and he also doesn't drop/replace lowest test grade! He also gets grumpy sometimes. But overall, he's a good professor.
LOVE HIM!! Hes super funny & a great Proffessor! As long as you show up to class, pay attention, & take notes you should get As on his exams. The reviews are almost exactly like the exams & gives extra credit questions. Definitely recommend!
So first things first Calculus in itself is a different subject. However, Dr. Dunn is a great professor. He made Calculus 2 seem extremely easy and fun. He tells corny math jokes, which I didn't mind. There are 4 exams, 1 journal, and Final. The homework is the exercises at the end of each section and turned in together for each test.
Corny jokes will get you through the semester. Does not use online hw! Read the textbook and go to tutoring and you will definitely get a A! He often has extra credit at the end of the test, which really helps. Really good at explaining the material!
I took him for differential equations and linear algebra. He is by far my favorite mathematics teacher I've ever taken. He says a lot of corny math jokes, which IMO is pretty funny. if you follow along and take good notes the take-home tests are easy. somewhat a lot of HW but you can skip a couple problems and he wont mind.
I took this class for calc 2, and he is amazing. He knew the material, was extremely adept at explaining the homework and funny in his own way. I highly recommend him and am hoping to take his class again for calc 3
Dr. Dunn Is an awesome professor. His classes are never boring. This class is an easy A compared to Cal 2.
Took this as an online 6 week course. His notes were great, he replied to emails, and he was funny and nice. Hes there to answer questions & math lab helps a lot. 4 tests w/ 3 attempts, homeworks were unlimited attempts. His notes made learning the material super easy. Not a huge time commitment, my schedule was busy & I did fine. Great teacher!!!
Take Dr. D's class! You won't regret it. You NEED to attend class though. He makes calculus so understandable and is very approachable to ask questions. Clear expectations. No busy-work. Hybrid class has heavy my-math-lab use and not much use of the textbook, but he does reference its examples. Disappointed he is not teaching Calc II next semester.
Prof. Dunn is one of the best math teachers I've had. He moves quickly enough that it doesn't get boring but makes sure there aren't any questions before moving on. The homework is due all at once before the tests, and the questions on the tests are very similar to the homework. Mandatory attendance, but you won't want to miss class anyway!
He clearly loves math and loves teaching it. The tests are pretty short and have extra credit questions on the end. Not a lot of homework considering that this is calculus after all. He grades tests really soon after you take them most of the time and when he makes a mistake in a calculation he just takes it in stride. DEFINITELY recommend him!! :)
Very thorough in his lectures. Nothing on the tests was new. Every test had bonus questions.
Very clear lecturer, writes a little slow but he lets class out early and still gets the material across perfectly so no complaints about that. Tells jokes throughout the lecture, and he is very good at drawing models for units that benefit from pictures. Class is an easy A as long as you go to his lectures with bonus questions on all the tests.
I SUCK at math. I was very nervous for algebra but omg I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR. I would always get 70s-80s on my math tests but I was able to get an A IN EVERY TEST in Mr Dunns class.the way he teaches is just so amazing.Allows calculators and allowed my class a page of notes for every exam. My fav prof of all time. TAKE MR DUNN
He is excellent at teaching, can easily explain complex topics. Test are only about 10 questions and are pretty easy, and there is always at least 2 bonus questions. Test do make up a good portion of the grade so study well. Nothing is posted d2l which is a bummer. The final was very difficult compared to previous test so study extra hard for that.
if every math class i took was taught by him, i would pass them all with flying colors. he explains each topic so well. he walks you through equations and gives examples, and then you do a couple on your own, which he goes over with the class. he's also great because he ends class like 40 minutes early! he's so funny and sweet! LOVED THIS CLASS 🥀
Best prof I've ever had! Total nerd, super fun and patient, loves teaching. Phenomenal lectures (expect some fascinating side-stories); each concept explained in depth; clear and understandable. Exams are easy (extra credit), light HW load. I'm normally average at math; this year it was my highest grade and I had so much fun! PLEASE TAKE HIS CLASS!
Please take him!! As someone who is not a math person, I liked how our homework was light and only due the day of the exam. The exams are short and leniently graded, and he is accessible outside of class. he is a hilarious person, and goes on lots of tangents. Clearly loves what he does and makes class entertaining, despite it being at 8 am.
10/10 great professor! Definitely would take him again! You turn in homework when you take an exam (which is every 2-3 weeks). There are 4 exams, 4 homework and a final at the end. He's a very forgiving grader, just study the material.
Hes very funny, gives lots of examples, and explains concepts well. He lets you use the notes on the test and grades the tests super fast. Homework is taken for a grade, but if you just turn something in, he will give you a 100
