BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE HAD! He gives great feedback! You must attend class but it is worth it because the class is always enjoyable and he explains everything to the point if you do not understand he will break it down so you can understand it. He always has office hours right after class so if you need extra help. 110% recommend his classes!

Worst professor I have ever had. He tells you to ask him for help but when you do all he tells you is to look at the PowerPoint. This whole class is based around 3 exams. A definition portion and an essay portion. Awful in my opinion.

Great Professor and a really nice guy. He makes class interesting. His lectures are important for the exams. Exams were all fill in the definition with 2 essays, so you really need attend class and study. His grading is a little harsh and usually wants a lot of detail. He does offer extra credit.

Hes an amazing teacher and gives awesome lectures. The only warning I have is that he doesnt write everything on the board thats important you have to do that yourself. His exams/tests seem easy enough but the short answer ones hes looking for something specific. Not clear what he wants in the answer. That annoyed me.

Online Class. Small workload; 3 exams worth 25% each, 6 quizzes for 25% total. The small workload means that there is little margin for error, but he does give you the exam questions a week prior to exams. Exams consist of 10 short definitions & two short essays, NO multiple-choice questions. Watch lectures and take notes, you'll do well.

Good reviews and exams. Lectures are a bit long and boring. If you have trouble with keeping up or understanding complicated words or ideology, take another teacher. Great enthusiasm and participation with class

If you like to skip class I would advise against this course with Professor Johnson. The reading is really supplemental to his lectures. You most likely will find it difficult to pass quizzes and exams without his lectures and the notes you take. If however you are an attentive and interested student, take him! I really enjoyed the class.

Wonderful professor! If you are someone who wants an easy humanities course, this is not the teacher for you. However, I learned so much from this course and was always laughing during his classes. You may have to work for your grade, but you will take valuable skills out of this class. Make sure you're extremely specific on tests.

took him winter 2017. one of the best. 4 exams but the study guide is IDENTICAL to the exam (vocab + essays). 6 quizzes based off of either his lectures or the textbook. drops 1 exam and 3 quizzes. be SUPER specific on exam and quiz, he will mark points down if you aren't. asks everyone how they are as he takes attendance. arrogant in a funny way.

I really enjoyed Prof. Johnson's class. He is well knowledgable and keeps things interesting but, if you are looking for a really easy A + this is not it. You must show up, stay attentive during class discussion, and take detailed notes. You study almost entirely off of your own notes for quizzes and exams. I recommend him if you want to learn!

He grades harshly. You have to come to class and take notes on EVERYTHING. If you read the assigned reading, you wouldn't get a good grade on the exam because he tests you on stuff he talks about in class ONLY. His office hours aren't very useful, he will only tiptoe around your questions. So, make sure you write down everything he says in class.

Super passionate about the subject and has a good sense of humor. 4 tests, one dropped and 7-10 unannounced quizzes, 3 dropped. Just come to class, take good notes and go to his office hours if u have questions. He hasn't killed a student YET for asking a question

Professor Johnson is a true gem. WCC is lucky to have him - honestly, I'm not sure how another school hasn't wooed him yet. He's intense, but because he's passionate about the topic and actually cares about you learning the material. Lectures are more like conversations, and he's always available for help. Take him if you can!

Mr. Johnson is a very nice teacher, however he does joke a lot (sometimes not pertaining to the subject). He is very knowledgeable about what he teaches. No prior knowledge is needed, but I suggest you pay close attention and take good notes. I hardly ever used my book (I preferred the internet). Exam reviews are identical to the actual exam.

Lectures covers everything needed for this class. Accidentally purchased the wrong book but it wasn't needed. Make sure to listen to full lecture! Don't miss any discussion board as there is only 3 exams for 75% of grade.

He is a very interesting professor and very nice. You must do the readings, come to every lecture, and understand the material in order for you to get a good grade. He's a tough grader for the exams, but if you put in the work you will learn ALOT from him. :)

He's such an amazing professor; eager and willing to help! Early classes weren't dreadful at all because he was had so much pep (along with knowledge on the subject). Reviews are exactly what to expect on the test. However, he's a specific grader-- so make sure you cover all that you learned from him (not the book!). 100% recommend.

Johnson is an amazing instructor! He's really passionate about the material and makes it fun for those of us who are not so passionate. The material is extremely boring but Johnson actually makes it fun and quite easy if you go to class and take notes! Four tests, drop your lowest score. Lets you use note cards for exams - saved my grade for sure!!

He has a passion for the subject and is a funny guy. Kind of arrogant but in a light-humored way. Sometimes his quizzes are announced the class before and sometimes they come out of nowhere. The quizzes are easy for the most part but his tests are graded a lot harder. The test review is always the same as the test but they are not easy.
