Honestly she is the professor thats gives me hope that professors really do care about students. The only professor thats makes a lecture about concrete sound interesting. Has lots of great experience to pass down. Had her as a professor twice and would take again.

The woman's a true gem. Clear and good humoured. I found myself wishing how much better I could have done in Statics with her teaching...Looking out to take a subject with her again. 2 Thumbs way up!

HOLY CRAP! I am in love with Kathy Dunne! She is so clear, concise and funny! Sure, she may be older and look boring...but don't be fooled. She is the BEST teacher I have had to date! I actually remember things like "wood that is cut in the green state has 13%-14% of moisture content"! She is simply amazing! Too bad she doesn't teach Steel :(

Kathy is one of the few professors that you'll meet whom no one has anything bad to say about. She knows her stuff and is great and really encouraging with the students. Not only has she been a helpful and inspiring professor, but she's also become a friend.

She is a brilliant woman and you will learn everything and anything about Assembly Systems with her. She won't remember your name though, or that she's had a conversation with you. Too much in her head I guess...

Comment:

She realizes Materials is dry so incorporates real situations into lectures (i.e. buildings on water, bowling in basements, etc.) She attempts to prepare students for tests but she does not write the exams herself unfortunately...

Kathy is one of the few people at Pratt that can join the gap between design and engineering. She understands conceptual work and how to design structures to support it. She is creative, supported and extremely dedicated and accessible to her students.

Very clear. Very concise. A teacher that I truly will miss, but will always feel confident that I can return to her with a question once I get out there doing building myself.
