Reviews of professor Ian Dunkle

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class is a MUST TAKE for every BU student. I have never met a more well-knowledged, humorous, and entertaining professor and the course material is second to none. Professor Dunkle encourages conversations on the course's controversial topics and delves deeply into every topic. The textbook reading can be a lot, but it's totally worth it!!!

Dunkle's class is super easy. The group questions are really manageable as long as you get a good group. The tests are graded by the TFs and are not graded the easiest so really make sure you are being detailed enough when answering the question. They are also take home so put in the time and effort if you want a good test grade.

Amazing professor! Very easy class, tests are just essays and they're given a week in advance. Prof Dunkle makes biomedical ethics super interesting. Take this class, you won't regret it.

Ian Dunkle is a gem, he is truly the best. He adds a lot of asides in his lecture, makes it easy to pay attention. The TFs grade the work and they're pretty tough on grading so like def read the supplemental readings for the exam!!

Ian is an amazing lecturer. He assigns SO much reading, but tbh I never read it and just went to lecture to hear him explain it. Lecture is not mandatory, but unless you can understand the readings on your own, you really should go. All the tests are take home, they take forever but it's better than having to study.

word to the wise: DO NOT TAKE MEDICAL ETHICS IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO. I don't know why everyone else rated this class so well, but it was so confusing and difficult. the TA grades everything so don't expect to get an A unless you are super philosophical. You have to go to discussion, not lecture tho.
