Reviews of professor Laura Dunbar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Sweetheart. She makes it clear what we have to do to get a good grade in her class. The entire course we went through the breakdown of what needs to go into an essay. Only like 5 maybe more little paragraph assignments and one major essay due at the end of the sem. about your choice. Compared to the prof. my friends took for CPN she is the easiest.

This class in general is pointless. It's a mix of theater and music that is supposed to help you make a lesson plan, but the professors that teach this are very unclear with what's good enough for them. They grade very hard and they are hard to talk to because one will say one thing and one will say another. If you don't have to take this, DO NOT!

This class should be an easy A as you don't learn anything in class. You spend 50 minutes of your day singing kids songs or playing drama games to teach you about integration. Content could be useful if you weren't participating in mindless activities. Both teachers make you prepare overdone lesson plans with too many steps and grade extremely hard

Professor Dunbar teaches IDIS 300 with Professor Chapman, together their grading criteria can be unclear and when doing an assignment they will dock points for the smallest and most insignificant things. With that considered Dunbar is very nice in my opinion.

Prof Dunbar was not helpful at all in this course. The big project is a lesson plan and you do assignments that build up to it. She gives very basic feedback and doesn't really tell you how to improve what you are doing, just refers you back to previous assignments.

Laura is sooo nice to her students and cares about the effort her students put in. Overall you will write research projects and she is there for any reunderstanding of material. Also the writing center really helps in this class to understand the writing style used in class. But Laura teaches all material very well and is easy to understand.

She was so nice and very understanding to anything that would come up. Did not get much homework and when we did it was fairly simple, and worked on one research paper throughout the year. If you are trying to get CPN credit she's perfect because it's a pretty easy class, that you don't get much homework in! Definitely recommend!!

Definitely one of the most understanding professors I've had here at Cortland. She doesn't overload you and really wants you to enjoy research, all work is manageable/don't let it build up. Is always open to talk and give corrections. I would a hundred percent take her again even though I'm not an English major
