Amazing professor who was extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter. always made it a point to have in class discussion and welcome them even when they steered us onto a side topic. I felt extremely safe in this space to speak about my experiences and the professor provided the space to do so. The papers were also always interesting to write and the exams always lined up with in class discussions and notes. Professor was also extremely tolerant to us skipping classes that would be contain sensitive subject matter and substituting with other work to learn the material in a more positive way. Would definitely take more classes with this professor. (Violence Against Women)

I liked how the classroom seemed to be a safe space for us students to speak freely about the concepts within the course. (Violence Against Women)

Really enjoyed going off topic sometimes and talking about issues that were happening at that time pertaining to the material we were reading about. It made this class fun and interesting. (Violence Against Women)

I enjoy the use of videos and outside material other than just slides to make the material more interesting and interactive. I think the way the information and material throughout the course was presented was great. I think creativity was used within this course and the professor did it the best way I could think of. (Corrections)

He does an amazing job communicating with his students. He breaks subjects down in a manner that make everything easily understandable for the students. His lectures are genuinely (some) of the best I have sat in during my tenure at WNE (Ethical Decision Making)

I loved everything about (the class). I did enjoy how comfortable I felt with it being online since it can be a sensitive topic however I am curious about how the class being in person could have changed how I took in some people’s opinions (LGBTQ+ Issues in Criminal Justice)

I thought everything was great! i would keep the discussion posts assignments as I felt that was the best way to dig into topics and hear others thoughts while feeling like it is a safe place to say your own (LGBTQ+ Issues in Criminal Justice)

Professor Dunton was a great professor that truly cares for his students and what he teaches. He is always open to questions and actually loves answering them. His class was very interesting and he is overall a great professor! (First Year Seminar

Dunton was able to make concepts that seemed difficult to grasp easy to understand. I like that this coursework applied directly to the work I was doing within my internship. This course prompted me to think more critically surrounding the work I was doing as well as the agency. (Social Work Research Methods)

This professor was very knowledgeable about the subject matter, he was very good at being inclusive, and engaging in his lectures. Even though this class was full of very serious topics especially among college students he took time to make us laugh and truly enjoy the class. I always looked forward to going to this class and learning something new. There was so much to learn that I didn’t know about and overall a great professor teaching an extremely interesting class. This professor also took the chance in the beginning of this class to let us know what would be talked about and to let us know that if a topic is too much for us we can talk to him to help get though that chapter or find an alternative.
