Reviews of professor Ian Dunkle

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Love him so much that I took two classes with him (PH150+PH155). A very young and down-to-earth professor who is not afraid to make mistakes and make jokes with us. He made philosophy seemed so interesting that I wanted more GEN-ED humanities requirements. He cares a lot about his students and is very accessible to students outside of class too.

Not a bad professor, but a very lecture heavy course. If you want to do well, do the readings. There are not many graded assignments in the class, and exams involve a lot of memorization. Unless you are very interested in ethics, I do not recommend taking this course.

I loved Dunkle. Go talk to him during office hours, he's very insightful. The class was a bit challenging because the grading wasn't that clear, but this was more on the TFs than Dunkle. I learned a lot and would easily take another class with him.

Great prof. You don't need to buy any books. He gives great lectures and really tries to get people to talk about their ideas.

Amazing professor and a very interesting class. Lectures always went by so quickly because they were so thought-provoking. It definitely takes a lot of thought and time to write the papers. He is very helpful at giving good feedback during office hours.

A true philosopher filled with questions, yet constrained by the boundaries of the course. Funny, but often with a dark sense of humor. Not afraid to talk about himself, and the real-world applications of his course The most considerate professor during the Covid Crisis. The professor remained approachable and helpful throughout the entire course.

Dunkle is young and funny, very self-deprecating and relatable. Medical Ethics was such an interesting class even though I'm not pre-med or a philosophy student. His lectures are fun and he initiates a dialogue even in a big lecture hall. 10/10 he is the best.

Professor Dunkle is great. Readings pdf & online; you don't have to buy textbooks. The format is Prof's synthesis of the Philosopher's premises & conclusions on a slideshow. From there he opens the class to point out flaws or add to the philosopher's point. There 3 1-page summaries, 1 essay, 1 midterm, & 1 final. He cares that students understand

I had him for Narrative Ethics and as someone who loves to have discussions in class and talk about philosophy I really loved the class. Ian is super smart and explains complex topics really well. He gave good feedback on our papers and engaged with us really well.
