Reviews of professor Ryan Duns

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Fr. Duns is a good and caring guy. Lectures can be boring sometimes but he fills them with movie clips that can relate to theology in some form. His notes can sometimes by confusing. Do take notes from his lectures because they can help with essays.

During COVID, I had father duns as the online lecture portion of my hybrid class. He was very enthusiastic and funny during his recorded lectures. He was very good at keeping my attention as well. There are many papers you have to write for the class, three reflection essays, a midterm essay, and two final papers but are very simple with the rubric

Fr. Duns is awesome! He genuinely cares about his students, their backgrounds, and making sure everyone has the best experience in his class. He is hilarous, and as long as you put in effort and participate. You're good to go. Gonna miss him!

Father Duns is by far the best professor at Marquette. I would not be surprised if this class becomes one of the first classes to fill. It was great! If you have a chance to take this class or any other classes with Father Duns you will not regret it. What makes him different is how caring he is of his students and plus he is beyond understanding.

Father Duns has been my favorite teacher thus far at Marquette. Through the theologians and philosophers that he had us read, I was able to form a whole new understanding of my faith and belief in God. If you are wanting to learn how Catholicism can tie into controversial subjects like racism, then this is definitely the class for you!

Fr Ryan's Wednesday lectures are excellent. We read the draft of a book he helped to write and he would develop the reading in his lecture. I don't think he wants people to "memorize" his notes. They are there to deepen the point made in the reading and to connect the material with life. Likes to edit screaming goats into video clips!

Outside of being an all-around good person, Fr. Duns is a magnificent educator. It doesn't require much effort in order to learn from him. His stories and lectures are very captivating, and he doesn't ask very much from you. If you do what he tells you to do, you will do very well in his class and most likely have a good time in the process.

Father Dunns was hilarious and a great teacher. Just know this course is a technology free class for the entire semester. There was not a ton of hard tests and the papers were fairly easy as long as you try on them. Make sure to take notes during lectures.

Keeps what some many thinks of as a boring topic very interesting with his high energy. Very lenient and wants everyone to succeed.
