Michael Dunham

Dunham does a wonderful job at introducing material in a clear manner and circling back to review content at a pace that feels comfortable. I think he has been one of the most effective professors I've had at Middlebury for learning the content. Extremely smooth course feels completely reasonable.

Dunham is great. He wants the students to succeed and provides numerous resources to do so. Attendance is checked using poll.ev questions everyday and the coursework isn’t too difficult if you enjoy physics. The weekly problem sets can get a little annoying with lots of ray diagrams but it’s only once a week(due on Fridays). Overall this is among the easiest physics classes and Dunham is very chill. Lab is lab, pre labs take 15-30 minutes max.

Fairly straightforward higher level mechanics course. The first few weeks are pretty heavy review, but then it gets into some fairly interesting topics after that. Prof. Dunham was very accommodating of the class, each week's problem set had final extra credit question simply asking how much time it took us, to make sure he wasn't giving us too much work.
