Reviews of professor Hunter Dinkins

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Hunter really tries to explain the material, he is a good lecturer but the material is so difficult. You will learn more from the homework than the actual class. The class has notes on sakai so attendance is not mandatory but there are polls that count as attendance. The homework is hard but you get many chances to do it. homework doesn't count muc

He stumbles over words a lot and got questions wrong sometimes when explaining on the board. He is obviously knowledgable about the content but isn't a good teacher at all. I wouldn't recommend taking his class.

Hunter is a great professor. He is very passionate about math, and about the course material. He bends over backwards for his students- rescheduling office hours if it is more convenient for everyone. This course was tough, but if you paid attention in class and went to office hours it was not a big problem.

I want to start this off by saying that Hunter is a really nice guy, who you can tell is very passionate about math. But, he is not a good professor. Save your GPA and don't take this class. The concepts are very confusing and Hunter does not to a very good job explaining them especially to people who are not very familiar with math concepts.

Does a good job explaining concepts, but moves slowly in class so a lot of the learning is out of the textbook. Online tests were open book, but he made up for it by grading very strictly, you get points off if you forget a parenthesis or similar. Homework is also harshly graded (7-10 pages/week on average)

Professor Dinkins is a great guy and gives really good feedback about wrong questions. But the problem is that he goes over the simplest examples in class and only grades the easy ones on the homework. He doesn't give too many examples to prepare you for the test, and it's impossible to tell how you did on the test. His grading is extremely erratic
