Comment:

This professor actually knows his material and you don't have to buy the textbook. If you read his power-points before class you will do well on his quizzes and tests. If you don't show up to class and miss his weekly quizzes than you might not pass. I would recommend you take this professor, he is a really nice person.

As long as you go to class for his review days and get answers and go over the reviews 3-4 times, you are good to go! His lectures are fast (25 mins) and no attendance required. However, he has quizzes that could be hard if you don't study. But he drops 3 quiz grades! It was an easy A if you studied the day before the quizzes and exams. Good luck!

He is a very fair professor! His test are almost the SAME as the reviews, and he tells you whats going to be on there. You MUST to read to understand the concepts, he's not a very good teacher. But, If you read and study hard in the beginning of the semester everything will fall into place. STUDY and ask questions during reviews and you'll pass.

If you are a student who needs a good teacher to get an A, then dont take him. This was his first time teaching Intro to Ochem and he really didn't know what he was doing and all he did was read off the powerpoint. His tests are an exact copy of his reviews, so if you just memorize his reviews you can an easy A.

If you like chemistry then you will probably like this class. There is a lot of You Tube videos and self teaching that comes with this class, however slrc is very helpful with his style.

Honestly, be prepared to read the book on your own and to watch tons of you tube videos. You teach yourself and the reviews are no longer the exams. He walks in, reads word for word on the power point and then class is dismissed. Like I said, be prepared to learn on your own.

Dr. Johnson is a brilliant man! This subject is definitely tough, but he really knows what he's talking about and is willing to clarify if you ask. The tests are just like the reviews he gives, so definitely study those. All in all, I loved taking Dr. Johnson's class and would definitely take a course with him again!

Pretty Much going to agree with everyone who posted. His class goes just as follows. He walks in, turns on the computer, opens up the lecture notes for the chapter he is discussing and reads it word for word for about 25-30 minutes. He doesn't go over problems that much and you have to read the book (that's how i got an A).

I agree with everyone saying he reads off the power point very fast. Most of the learning will be done on your own. He gives bonus points on each test. Overall a good teacher that teaches a difficult subject. He only grades 5/8 quizzes. He also replaces lowest test with final if it's higher. He could make this class way harder. Overall a fair prof

Dr. Johnson is a very kind, witty man. He is brilliant, don't get me wrong and he definitely knows what he is talking about... but he is the only one. His method of "teaching" is to read the PowerPoint and to do it at the speed of light. You will have to be prepared to watch Khan Academy and read the textbook. Don't work and try to take this class.

Dr. Johnson is one of the worst professors I have had. His lectures are him literally reading a power point for about 30 min and then we are released. He does not go over any concepts and it is very hard to keep up with him. He is a very intelligent man but his teaching methods are not A+. The class average was for tests is failing. Every. Time.

Dr. Johnson is one of the worst professors I have ever had. He does not explain anything and speeds though the notes so quickly that we often leave up to 30 minutes early every day. I am required to take Organic Chemistry 2 (which he also teaches) and I am taking it elsewhere because I refuse to spend another semester in his class.

Dr. J is very nice & helpful. It is very easy to pass this class- he gives a review before each exam- memorize the reviews & you will do good. He is very generous with points & curves. He knows his stuff & loves class participation. Unfortunately no one pays attention & the classroom is always empty except for review days & exam/quiz days.

Very Brillant professor. If you have a question, he'll try to answer to the best of his ability. The material is somewhat difficult, but if you re-read and review on your own making as A in the class is very, very feasible.

His tests are easy, his grading curves are awesome, but you will have to teach yourself in order to pass. He is extremely smart and nice, but does not know how to teach on our level!!! Slrc will be your friend! Be ware of asking questions!!

Dr. Johnson knows organic chemistry and is subtly hilarious. His teaching can seem too advanced for beginning o-chem students, but he is fair and tests what is provided in his exam reviews. The textbook is an absolute must.

Dr. Johnson (who actually goes by "DJ") does not teach you Ochem. You just memorize reviews for the tests, and thats it. If you want an A take Johnson, if you want to learn take someone else. BTW DJ will be retiring soon.

Basically just reads off powerpoints, classes are only really 30 minutes long and then he releases everyone. You're better off taking the class elsewhere if you need a professor that actually teaches. If you're good about studying on your own though, this might be the class for you.

I had very little interest in Organic Chem. before I took this class. I now find it fascinating. Thank you Dr. J...it is a class you will have to study for. Especially O. Chem I bc it is all new. But once you begin to see what the patterns are, it gets a little easier :) for better grade, study test reviews thoroughly.

Chemistry was not my bag, so I had a bit of a hard time with the material. Love Dr. Johnson, though! He is very smart, and quietly witty, so pay attention to catch his jokes. He always gave reviews for the tests so you know exactly what's on them. Very helpful.
