Dunne’s work is on the gap between a recommendation and a decision: what a model owes you before you are entitled to act on it, and how a call is judged once the result is in and unhelpful. The marking doctrine here is hers, including the rule that a finishing position contributes nothing.
She teaches all twelve lectures, and the argument that runs through them is the one she works on: that trust in an instrument is earned, measured, and arrives last.
Ask her about the shape of the course, about assessment, and about any point where a lab and an assignment appear to be telling you different things. She reads the defences herself.
