Comment:

First, do not believe the quizlet post. Anyone who takes his course knows from day one how the class will be and you are able to prepare for the quizzes as you can see them all immediately. He responded to a question I wanted to know late at night so he is swift to answer questions. To complain about this clearly laid out course is absurdity.

I wholly disagree with the previous responder! The professor engaged directly with any question put forth and furthermore demonstrated total concern for student understanding of the lectures given.

Comment:

Best. professor. ever. Is not a basic boring history professor. Very easy to understand what is expected of you and on your test. Only grades are your tests but if you show you care he will help out a little. Cares about your grades and understands that you are a college student, life is hard. If I could take him for every single one of my classes

Take him online and it'll be the easiest class you'll ever take. 2-3 quizzes a week and all answers are on quizlet.

Comment:

Took 3 Senior level classes with him. Only 5 assignments (3 tests and 2 book reviews) so there's not a lot of cushion gradewise, but he tells you exactly what he expects. Made the lectures fun and was open to questions and discussion, but he moves fast. Tests are completely essay and come from lectures so TAKE NOTES, STUDY, AND DO NOT MISS CLASS!

Comment:

This was a super easy online class. The class literally just consists of 16 quizzes (15 because he drops the kowest score). It is pretty straightforward. The only hard thing about this class was remembering the due dates for the quizzes.

He is pretty laid back. If you do not care enough to show up to class, he has no problem failing you. Do not take advantage of his kindness. He understands that you have a life outside of class but you are in college, so show up!

Easy going and approachable... Lectures always have humor in it, but still difficult to follow unless you're really interested in the subject. Grades consist of 4 tests, no homework or class participation points, but attendance is vital because his lectures are where tests questions derive from.

Comment:

Dr. D. is pretty great. His tests are killer and require you to essentially memorize everything he lectured on, so BE IN CLASS. He also doesn't play around when it comes to book reviews, so triple check you have the exact format he wants. He is however, brilliant & funny & absolutely willing to help you if you need it. Would definitely take again.

Professor Dunnavent is great! His lectures are awesome and he is a really funny guy. If you're ever having trouble just ask for help. But don't think you can just get an A. This class is hard and you really have to work at it. If you are engaged with his lectures you will learn so much! I will for sure be taking more of his classes.

Comment:

I saw on here his high ratings and transferred into this class from another hist class. I thought it would be easy. You MUST go to class every single day, or you will miss a lot. I would HIGHLY recommend that you record the lectures as well-- he talks insanely fast. Cool teacher, gave bonus points but still wasn't enough to save my grade.

Comment:

I do not enjoy history, but this was a requirement for my major. He is a nice professor and gives bonus points. I was in a class of 65 and every test he would tell us that 90% of the class failed and would give us bonus points. He talks to fast and you need to know alot about history before you take his class. I will NEVER take him again.

Comment:

Has a bit of a punk-rock professor vibe, and that's OK. Loves military history, so expect lots of questions about important battles, generals, etc. Seems to care about what he's teaching, and it shows.

The man knows history, and the man knows how to teach history. Greatest history teacher I've ever had. It was nice to feel like I was really learning. He'll keep you laughing too.
