Comment:

Dont take Dunn. Its impossible to get A in his classes, and very hard for B. His quizes are extremely difficult which he gives weekly. attendance isnt really mandatory, but if u miss class you will fall behind and be screwed.

Comment:

He gives 2 tests and usually gives a weekly quiz. Questions can be tricky or worded weird and require you to think. He's very to the point and does not curve or round up. Get an 89% and you get a B+ period. Offers a little extra credit. Classes are usually interesting and he can be pretty funny. Was only 1 A in my class. Do not fall behind. Study

Comment:

Great professor, I loved going to his class because he always made his lectures interesting. He works through things and will go over things a few times if he knows the class isn't getting the concept. He really is one of Edinboro's best professors and I hope to take another one of his courses at some point soon. Take him if you can!

Dunn really makes you work to earn your grade. He is frustrating sometimes but he does lay out everything you need to know, you just have to really know the material. I would definitely take him again.

Comment:

Dr. Dunn is one of the best professors I have had in my 3 years in college. He understands what we, as students need to succeed in college. He gives quizzes each week, which isn't that bad. He writes his own questions rather than using a test bank. I enjoy each and every class because he makes the material interesting and makes you want to be there

Comment:

I've had Prof. Dunn for two separate upper-level ECON classes. It's not that the material is so difficult, rather the fact that he can never stay on one subject or decide what exactly he is teaching is what makes his classes difficult. It is very hard to identify what exactly should be studied or what he is trying to teach. Frustrating.

Very smart guy, knows what he is talking about. He does not have required attendance, but if you miss class you WILL fall behind (which is the way it should be). Take notes, do your work, and you will do well. All around great guy.

Comment:

Dr. Dunn is a very knowledgeable man. He has a habit of confusing the class by belaboring topics that should already be understood. In the end he inflated every one's grade and eroded the value of those who earned theirs'. Take him if you want to learn something. He's knows his stuff, thoroughly.

Comment:

This is one of edinboro's greatest assets. His teaching was so good, I almost made economics my minor. If you really want to learn, you will. In this class you earn your grade but after you learn something, you will never have to learn it again, I recommend this prophessor without reservation.

Comment:

Work wasn't hard, only got a three because sometimes he doesn't grade correctly. I found him calling everybody idiots funny because of the hypocracy in it, but overall not bad. MUCH MUCH better the Demerale or whatever his name is, take Dunn over him

Comment:

He is a tough professor but if you actually put in the effort to be a student he will do his duty as a professor. He is not here to make it easy for you...he is here to teach...so do the work and you will get the grade. Overall it was a difficult class but it is managable if you work at it and if needed ask for help and he will clarify.

Comment:

I HATE THIS PROF WITH A PASSION. He stand there and tells us how stupid we are, basically..... and he piles work on top of us without teaching it cause he is too busy ****ing about the dumbest things ever. He thinks he is so smart, and makes everyone else feel like they are retarded and then makes a butt load of mistakes himself

Comment:

Impressed that he had actually been a corporate manager. Distracted by slight amount of rudeness and arrogance. Seemed extremely knowlegable and had many examples. Tendency to just yell out: "WRONG" I respect his ability but not his social disposition toward students, as if they are all according to him apathetic to education.

taking an economics class from this fellow was like taking an economics class from an art professor. or actually more like taking an economics class from my 86 year old grandmother. either way, dunn was a horrendous teacher.

Is a nice professor but can be confusing at times. He has some great stories and means well. If you do your work as you are suppose to you should be fine.
