Best CJ teachers @ GVSU. Awsome friend. Test are hard. read book.

My favorite professor. Really made class interesting.

very very nice guy, great prof. not so clear at first but just give him a little

Awesome.....

really nice and wants to be there.

AWESOME professor...has experience in what he teaches, has fantastic stories, knows what he's talking about...even though I was in a big class, he knew my name and asked about my life...GREAT TEACHER! Fave so far

Nice guy, very helpful. Knows what he is talking about.

He is a good prof, as long as you pay attention in class you can easily pass the class!

A very nice guy, really into criminal justice, very easy to work with

He's a great guy, knows his ****, you will learn something, tests are almost all multiple choice/ t or f. Good Prof.

GREAT GUY, really cares about his students. Tests aren't the easiest, but he's understanding, and will help you whenever he can. Take him. He's a great prof, and knows what he's talking about. Class is worth it with him.

Easy class, loves students who talk, interesting lectures, lots of info but keeps it very interesting. Easy enough grader, 3 hour class was fast/enjoyable, knows his stuff, very helpful and likes to get to know his students. Perfect for 201 class.

Tough grader, yeah nice guy but unforgiving on some things. Paper is tough, too many sources for no more than 10 pages

Really nice guy.

Johnson knows what he's talking about and will help you no matter what. Always worth while to go talk to and just shoot the breeze. He is a straight shooter that will not lead you wrong.

Prof. Johnson knows his stuff, experienced in many different CJ facets, take this course for eleective or for major he makes it enjoyable for "3" hrs, even tho we never went the whole 3. Tests are whats he says will be on study guide and he won't trick you. Best Prof at GV. Cares for students.

Very challenging class, but he's very interesting in his lectures. He's the only prof I've ever had where I can honestly look forward to going to listen to a lecture. His tests are multiple choice, but they're quite hard. Study alot and you'll do fine in his class.

On top of being incredibly sexy, he is one of the best profs. around. Tests are tough, know your notes. Lectures are interesting, but you have to remind him for a break once he is on a roll. Great guy, very interesting.

Very Detailed and hard tests. Questions came from book and not the lectures. Study guide had very little to do with test. Often forgot about quizes and didn't seem like he wanted to be there any more than the students did. Easy grader on papers. Over all he is a nice guy and was intresting but don't expect an easy A (or B).

I love Brian! He is very honest, has great stories to tell, makes sure you understand what you are doing. All of his tests are all multiple choice which seemed to work pretty well for me. I have never read all of my stuff for both classes, and I have achieved an A and A-. He grades very fairly on all papers and tests. A great guy and professor.

Very interesting class. He is very clear and the class has no suprises. All the material on the tests is usually from his lectures, so if you show up and pay attention you'll do fine. The one term paper assigned was no problem and he grades fair.

He is Awesome. A little disorganized, but all test material based on lecture. He is very understanding. Grade based on 3 tests (non-cumulative) and 1 paper 4-6 pages. Take him, he rarely goes the whole 6-9.

Great Professor! Best I've had so far while at GV. Understanding, Clear, and always willing to help you out. Take him and you will not regret it.

excellent professor. has a command of the material and keeps things interesting

Brian is a great prof, advisor, and just a decent human being. Very interested in the welfare of his students and really knows his stuff. I never want to take anyone else. :) Plus, he's funny and has great stories and friends EVERYWHERE in the CJ field.

awesome teacher

He is very, very willing to help students. As long as you pay attention and read, you'll get an A. He's super great.

Great prof. Really knows his stuff, really nice guy. Is willing to help any time. Funny guy if you have the chance to take his classes do it. You will enjoy any class he teaches.

Hey, man, you don't talk to Prof.Johnson.You listen to him. He enlarged my mind. Hes a poet warrior in the classic sense. Sometimes you'll say hello to him. He'll just walk right by you. Won't notice you. Suddenly he'll grab you - throw you in a corner, and say, "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? I'm a little man, he's a great man

Scoreboard. This guys has written more journals than I can count and yet he's the most down to earth person I've ever talked to. Three tests, one 10 p paper. Very clear. Take him if you can!

One of the most easy going and helpful CJ professors around. Knows his stuff, and is willing to work with anyone. Great sense of humor that makes the class fun. No way anyone can fail this class.

Very easy going nice professor. two 3 page papers, 3 exams including the final which wasn't cumulative (with study guides that basically have the exam questions on them) and random online quizzes. he also offers A LOT of extra credit. He is very interactive with the class and made an effort to know names. Great guy, great class, easy A. Take him!

Prof. Johnson is a great professor. I had no interest in CJ before the class but I switched my major because of Brian. He tries to relate everything he covers to real world cases. Provides good examples from his past experiences. There are two papers which are easy, three tests that have study guides and a couple of online quizzes. Take this class.

Very smart guy, almost too smart for the class. Hard grader and makes the tests and papers a little too challenging. I did alright in the class but I would try to get someone else for this class. Also does not email back very well, although he is very nice!

Take this class! Brian is an amazing professor and one of the nicest guys you will meet. It's a pretty easy class and there is no outside work except for a couple online quizzes.

This class is extremely boring, so be prepared for that. He assigns 5 random quizzes, 3 of them are attendance based. The quizzes and tests can be pretty tough so take good notes. What Johnson does right is explaining the material, it's just that the material can be so boring at times. Not much to take away from this class.

He knows his stuff very well. Participation didn't really matter but if you don't take notes you wont pass. Tests are pretty tough if you don't read or look over the powerpoints he uses. One long paper, 4 pages single space, he assigns the topic for you. You end up doing a short presentation on your paper at the end of the year. Not a bad class.

I took this as an online course. The assignments and grading are clear cut. Professor Johnson is helpful with answering questions and responding to e-mails. Quizzes and exams are a mix of items from the power points, notes, and the book. Multiple choice, but not necessarily easy.

Not enough good things can be said about this professor. He is knowledgeable, fair and personable. I found his lectures to be interesting and effective. Pay attention to his "put this in your notes" bulletin points of his lecture, those will not be found in the text. He engages students and makes you feel at ease. Tells dad jokes. Great professor!!

I don't think I've met a more knowledgeable professor in my college career. Johnson genuinely cares about the students, at least the one's willing to talk to him. His classes aren't hard, just make sure you complete all assignments and quizzes. Although you have to twist his arm to get a straight answer from his emails, I would 100% take him again

Dr. Johnson is very knowledgeable with tons of great real world examples for CJ. Helped me a lot in applying for internships. However, he is very strict with a number of policies to make sure you show up to every class. For the essay that we did, the requirements are a minefield; read them through carefully to avoid any deductions.

Brian is a great guy who is very knowledgeable in the field he teaches. He is very passionate and gives great real-life experiences to topics discussed in class. He is known for having random pop-quizzes, which may damage your grade if you are not prepared. Overall awesome guy and professor.

Ask for help, he wants to! Understand information from the book - it is where most of the test questions come from (your notes may be more detailed then his - and should if U want to do well). He gives 5 quizzes (based on the book) and 5 attendance quizzes (you pass if there). Gives a research paper, u can do well if go to his office and seek help!

Great teacher. Cares about students.

Professor Johnson communicates well. However information in the syllabus does not match the information he gives you and he doesnt always respond to emails. Not a lot of consistency in the course. But he is a fair grader and gives good feedback. Exams are very tough too.

Johnson was such an amazing professor! I have never had such a positive experience. He was insanely knowledgeable on the subject and very happy to share that knowledge with his students. He really wants to help you get a good grade and as long as you ask he'll give you all the help you need. If you show up and do your work you'll pass. I got a 96.

My man Brian. A real gem of a professor who must be protected at all costs. Just be prepared to stay awake in his lectures and you will be FINE.

I had him for an online class as well as a normal class in the same semester. He is a great guy and I loved his lectures. His tests are hard tho, to do well you must read the book and attend class. Online class with him was a ton of work and I did not do that great, would reccomend for an in person course but a do not take for an online course.

Best prof. 10/10. Lectures are engaging and interesting. If you're a CJ major I'm sure you're used to the long lectures, I wouldn't say it's anything out of the norm.

Man of few words but the class was easy and informative.

Great man, really nice and lots of interesting stories based on experience in the field! No assignments on a normal basis, only lectures each week and the occasional quiz. The book helps a lot! Hardest part was the essay, which needs lots of clarification. First one is harder, second is easier once getting the idea. Would take again for sure!

This class was overall a good class. The lectures were very booting because it was him just reading off PowerPoint slides but he did his best to make it interesting. He curves pretty much every test you will take. Would recommend him as a professor

was good at teaching and made the exams and quizzes easy to do by giving us good study guides, attendance is not mandatory but he does take down attendance at times. Overall, he is a great prof, and it's an easy class if you just put in the right amount of effort. There's no hw except studying. There are only two papers 3 exams and about 5 quizzes.

This professor was amazing! He posts PowerPoint slides and goes over them in class and will tell you what to write down "for testing purposes. There are 3 exams (including the final), 2 APA style papers 2 pages long, and 5 quizzes. His study guides are very thorough and easy to follow through, and making a quizlet definitely helps for exams!

During my in-person course with Professor Johnson, he was much more responsive and willing to help than he was in an online course. The class is very textbook and lecture based, and he writes his own exams. He did mention that he is trying to improve his future online courses. Make sure to pay attention in class, his PowerPoints have fill in blanks

Very good guy, except he doesnt teach well and expects you to know what he is talking about. He rambles constantly, but I really appreciate the help he gives to his students and he is more like a dad than a teacher.

This class was a seminar style where we would just discuss our readings for the week. We met once a week and our only assignments were a resume and cover letter. Professor Johnson always told funny stories and cares about his students.

The lectures are mostly PowerPoint slides, but the professor does a good job of explaining the material. The exams and quizzes are manageable with the study guides provided. unstuck study was a helpful supplement for review.

Brian is a great professor, for the most part. There are four exams total through the semester in CJ101 and two papers. These are the only grades you will receive. He takes attendance every class and will knock you down points if you don't show up. Make sure you read the textbook; this will help you the most during the exams.

Professor Johnson is a talented lecturer, but he gets too sidetracked and rambles sometimes. Reading the textbook before each class is definitely mandatory. Has 7 grades in the grade book: 4 exams 2 in-class papers and attendance - not a lot of room for error. He fell behind in his lectures due to weather/rambling, did not cover everything.

Brian is very knowledgeable and passionate, and keeps discussions very open. Textbook is written by him, so you don't have to worry about reading random extra stuff and not knowing what is important and what isn't. The group podcast sounds like a lot, but is actually very manageable even with a busy schedule. He can ramble sometimes. Took in person
