Comment:
Professor Johnson is the best professor I have had at Grand Valley. He is thoughtful, kind, and intelligent. He really cares about each of his students and teaches in a way that is fun and engaging. I learned more in his class than I have in any other class I have taken. So many of his teachings are useful in the field.

I took this class in the summer and the Prof seemed to not want to be there just as much as the students which made for an easy semester. Easy grader. Provided good feedback. Provided plenty of examples and made sure everyone understood before moving on.

I really enjoy Dr. Johnson's teaching style, however this wasn't my favorite class. This class was still enjoyable just not ideal. I took this class during the election season. The class focused heavily on Trump and Clinton not moving outside of that topic. There is a lot to learn in these areas, but not a semester worth of lectures.

Professor Johnson is one of the best professors at GVSU. He's funny, his lectures are interesting, and he pushes you to think outside of the box. There are two big projects in his class, put the effort into them and you won't regret it. Really listen and learn from him, he breaks the usual teaching mold! As of right now, no textbook is required.

Dr. Johnson is by far the best professor I have ever had! Makes you think outside of the box (if there is a box at all) and makes his lectures interesting. Also makes you realize that grades do not matter when you're in the field, and doesn't care about what you think, just that you think at all! Taking him again for my next three semesters! :)

My favorite teacher at GVSU so far! Johnson is great, lectures can be boring...reading the book is almost always opt. until you need to do a paper but has NO presentations and RARLY tests. Great Overall...I've had him for 3 classes so far and plan on at least 2 more!

A great teacher in a profession devoid of them. It's nice to be taught by someone who knows how to teach and has a mastery of their subject at the same time, not a universal thing I can tell you.

He started the semester out telling everybody that he wouldn't judge them on their opinions but the first time you said something that he didn't agree with he became rude to you for the rest of the semester. He cancelled a third of the classes. He sucks

Interesting SW perspectives, likes to lecture and hold center stage. Ignored some students. Neutral about ideas presented, which makes people feel safe about their ideas. Likes feedback re course and puts it into practise. Very enthusiastic about SW.
