Comment:

Professor Johnston is by far the worst professor I've ever had. There's way too much work every week his quizzes/tests don't reflect what is in the study guide. When I asked him for support because I was struggling in class, he referred me to psychological services rather than helping me... He makes me regret spending money on an education.

Dr. J, ignored all the students that asked for help. He suggested they seek services from the school. He did not make accomadations. A students brother passed away and he suggested seeking psychological service. Wow. Honestly, work together to pass this class. Only take it if you have too.

Honestly seems like a nice guy. He's strange he basically said in the syllabus don't email him. His exams and "quizitios" are worded strangely, so make sure you watch his lectures and know the readings he provides. Didn't read textbooks much personally, don't buy free PDFs online. 15 mini-quizzes, 5 exams, 6 DB posts, 5 homework Qs assignments

He is very disrespectful, he would delete your questions and discussions if he wanted to. Please don't take his class, our whole summer class is failing! He ignores everyone.

He never answers your emails, he uses outdated lectures and he would hold you accountable for anything that he wants, he's not clear and he is not willing to help at all. I had to drop because of how ignorant this man is!

Comment:

The topic is very interesting and one that may help you outside of class, but it's a shame that he isn't good at teaching it. It was an online class, so we had to watch at times hours-long lectures based on slides, which made the class boring. He is also very disrespectful and condescending. If you don't need to take the class, please don't take it

Difficult class. Tests/quizzes are based on the reading and there is A LOT. Learned a lot and loved the concepts but wouldn't take again. I took it over the summer so the class was more chill but, I couldn't imagine taking this class with a full load.

I ve never taken a class like that since I have been in school. Not only the professor is unorganized, but refuse to work with students. His tests and exams are timed with questions that required time to think. His materials are confusing. Instructions from previous classes are carried over to new class. This is frustrating!

Comment:

Taking SOC 355 right now online. Way too much unnecessary busy work. The assignments are not aimed to actually help you learn, but to make sure that you have to waste too many hours during the week completing work for this class. You're forced to participate in online discussions and to ask questions even if you have none. Don't take this class.

The professor tries to be very knowledgeable of the topic, but he just tries too hard. Read the books. Always go to TAs study sessions. Do all extra credit he offers. Don't expect from him a lot, not even an email response. Just bad.

Comment:

Johnston's class was my least favorite class since I've been at SDSU. His material is dry and biased towards his ideology. He gives pop quizzes based on the amount of people in attendance. Do every single reading question and each and every extra credit he gives out. Not a super difficult class to pass, but hard to sit through the lecture.

No organization to his class or notes at all. Tests are hard and he gives no true indication of whats going to be on them. Lots of reading, no direction or help.

Johnston definitely understands the subject. His lectures and the reading assignments are long a detailed. Take good notes. Take advantage of the study sessions with his Teaching Assistants That's the surest way of getting a study guide for the exam. The course is point intensive. Johnston can be very manipulative. Stay on top of your work.

Overall pretty good class. The content wasn't all that exciting for me but Johnston tries to make it interesting. You have reading and questions due every week, pop quizzes that you'll ace if you pay attention during the lecture, and 5 exams. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE STUDY SESSIONS WITH THE TA'S. Seriously, they are a life saver for exams.

This class is pretty easy. Go to all the lectures, they're boring but he does pop quizzes that are really easy and straight from the notes. I skimmed the reading and have done well on all the tests. He does like to take specific questions from the blackboard readings. Overall, an interesting and easy class.

I thought the class was challenging, but in a good way. The learning material was very interesting and it kept me engaged in the class. I would highly recommend going over the readings thoroughly, because a lot of his test questions are based on specific readings. Perfect attendance and completing the assignments is key as well.

Smart and funny teacher, classes are challenging but the content is very interesting. However he has very little time to give any extra help to students and utilizes his TA's heavily. If you do everything that is expected of you an easy B is achievable in this class.
