I have taken two classes with Professor Lunde, and he is a great professor. He loves his subject material, even if it is in a field that does not get much love or attention. His classes are very interesting, because he highly encourages participation. He is very generous with grades, and he gives you a very helpful handout for the midterm and final. He's really just an all-around great guy.

The professor is really knowledgeable about the subject and his positive style of teaching is infectious. I would greatly recommend the professor. He is easier than the usual professor, but you really should read all that is assigned, including movies, so that you have a little more fun in the class as usual. His lectures are pretty standard, but I definitely would not rate them boring.
