Comment:
Professor Dunkley's lectures are extremely hard to sit through. They are long and dull with no visual aids or clarifications. The course only has two papers and a final but the papers are harshly graded and the final is cumulative. Basically, avoid this class unless your a pro at european history and know all of this tedious info already.

Comment:
Professor Dunkley is a dinosaur. He does not own a TV and does not even know how a computer works. This should be enough evidence that he is also one of the most boring men alive. That being said, he is fair and can sometimes be much more stimulating in discussion section than in class. His class is also structured so that there are onyl 2 papers

Comment:
Don't read the books, they're useless. I got an A for the course just using lecture notes and writing about the subjects he really seemed to like. He gets really loud when he's enthusiastic about a certain subject, so note that if you aren't too busy trying to hold in the laughter. Overall, not bad.

Rigid, old-school anglo-centric lecturer. Can be funny sometimes, but in general, yeah, he's a dinosaur.

Comment:
He is really into the material. Oddly, his voice can range from being really quiet to being really loud in the same sentence. He gave a one week extension to the entire class for the term paper because he thought the end of the semester snuck up on everybody.

Comment:
not the greatest teacher. lectures were boring, it sounded like he was dictating an academic paper, not actually talking. lectures do help if you take good notes though, and if you go to class readings arent necessary for a decent (B range) grade.

A disaster. Shakespeare dressed as the great white hunter. Everything was 'beyond the pale'. Clearly had been giving the same lectures for decades.....

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Class is pure torture, and you have to go. But the exams are not that hard.

Comment:
Professor Dunkley knows his stuff. Overall, I enjoyed his lectures and occasional sense of humor. Can go from extremely quiet to real loud when he gets into the material. Not the easiest to get in touch with or to go see, but he is very fair and you know exactly what you're getting on the exams.

Very helpful if you make time to see him. He's an old-fashioned, amazingly knowledgeable prof., very fair, doesn't trick you on midterms or final, and has a dry sense of humor. I really liked this guy. Quite a bit of reading, 12pg. term paper, midterm and final. Not hard if you put effort in. Good c

ugg... the best thing about this class is leaving. will give you a whole spiel about random crap that is 1) boring as Peel's toenail fungus, and 2) as pointless as knowing about Peel's toenail fungus. Too busy to talk to students too. but that's a good excuse not to go see him... he's too busy. phew

Comment:
So boring and monotone I wanted to scratch my eyes out with my pencil, just for a change of pace. The lectures are awful and they are matched only by his personality. He is very unhelpful and acts as though he cannot be bothered. If you like Brit history, and you love yourself don't take this course

Lectures with a lapel mic - from experience I can tell you that he needs the extra volume to keep anybody awake in his class
