Comment:
Johnston is the sort of teacher that probably should have retired twenty years ago. His classes are great if you want to listen to him complain about his personal life for an hour and a half, but if you actually want to learn something, you better find another teacher. He doesn't have clear grades and isn't very articulate either.

EXTREMELY easy if you take a survey class with him. We had one final that was take home open book and no homework. Fairly entertaining and down to earth as well.

Comment:
Dennis is a wonderful professor, wouldn't you agree? I love how he sets up his methods classes for open discussion and felt that it as a good way of understanding the concepts as well as his and my peers views and in turn made me think about mhow I would use those concepts in my own teaching. I too also like Mastery learning making sure the concepts are learned correctly, like in conducting. That is a vital skill for all teachers and is best that it can be done over until it is done right. HARD and SHORT!

Dennis RULES! And, he's in love with me. Probably the most laid back teacher that actually gets kids to work and do a good job. How he does it is a mystery.

Dr. Johnston is an incredible teacher. He motivates his students to practice and study by being an honest, talented, down to earth person. All of my classmates agree that other teachers at St. Rose could benefit from following Dr. Johnston's lead.
