Excellent class.IB203 2019-03-30 01:50:48 +0000 UTC
Horrible professor. She is fake and acts like she cares about her students. A huge project kept us busy but she was very poor at teaching the subject. I would not recommend her.INTB1203 2016-07-28 23:18:05 +0000 UTC
Class is great. Teacher is extremel helpful and is willing to work one on one. One of my most rewarding academic experiences to dateINTB1201 2012-08-14 19:48:27 +0000 UTC
Awesome class. Hard to find a teacher willing to relate a class to helping you land a co-op job, but she really helps you even after the class. Would highly recommend even though course was tough and lots of busy work. Landed awesome co-op with her help!IB201 2010-05-22 20:08:41 +0000 UTC
would recommend this class. prof. definitely skype her on projects as she will help you a lot.IB1201 2010-04-24 22:59:41 +0000 UTC
If you are a smartass planning to get an A in her class, then you better stop dreaming now. However if you are a dumbass trying to get a B, then u picked the perfect place, because she makes u read thousand of pages of textbook, and nothing from textbook is on the test, everything is from the ppt. Literally u will do worse because u worked harderINTB1102 2010-04-16 12:06:11 +0000 UTC
I don't know why everyone below is raving about Dunlap. She definitely loves IB and class discussions but she's awful at teaching. Her discussions never lead to any major points, she cuts students off mid sentence, doesn't explain her assignments well, then grades them super hard. If you like to talk and want a hard as heck grader, take her class.INBU203 2009-04-28 19:47:15 +0000 UTC
To continue the comment below: Freshmen don't care b/c she teaches like a hs teacher so it's an easy transition. But the only things you learn about IB come from the textbook and students' experiences that they share. It's nice to hardly listen to lectures, but she focus on that so much that you learn very little about relevant IB concepts.INB201 2009-04-20 22:34:06 +0000 UTC
Extremely unfair grader, doesn't explain what she wants and then takes points off when you don't have it. Puts words into students' mouths and interrupts all the time. Not helpful at all. Has double standard for everyone.INB203 2009-03-26 19:03:23 +0000 UTC
Professor is passionate above all.IBNT1203 2017-06-14 21:53:51 +0000 UTC
I am a graduating senior. Thought course was hard. But, prof. helps after course ends. Also teaching methods work when getting co-op. I am helping with guest judging now too. Overall, hard prof., but helpful!!!IB203 2011-02-06 20:26:27 +0000 UTC
Loves to hear herself talk and humble brags a lot. Knows the material well. Does not give very clear answers when you ask a question. She is nice and was fine with grading. Tests were average, read her slides with backup from the textbook and you should be fine.INTB1203 2016-06-28 17:39:45 +0000 UTC
Class is very interesting if you get a good group for projects. If you don't, then you might as well drop it. Very project heavy, but you learn a lot because of that. 3 exams, you need to know every single thing that comes out of her mouth to get 100%. I enjoyed this class. Very fair grader. Communicate with her, and you will get a great grade.LuvUINTB1201 2012-04-27 15:49:07 +0000 UTC
I've only been in her class for a few weeks now, but I really like it. Very creative. Lots of work, but seems to be a high pay off.IB201 2010-02-10 18:29:53 +0000 UTC
