Excellent prof, down to earth and nice. Clear practical explanations, especially for someone not that great at math! Didn't ever look annoyed at some REALLY dumb questions people asked.
Nice teacher who tries to explain math in the easiest way possible. Make sure you attend the review sessions before each test as the problems are very similar to those that will be on the test. Will let you out of class early 90% of the time when he's done teaching that day's lesson.
Very Easy.....
This isn't a teacher for those who are head-over-heels in love with math and love a challenge. For those of you like me who can't stand math and want the easiest way out, FIND THIS PROF and make sure you have him. Very very easy, make sure you attend review days before test, it's exactly the same excluding the numbers.
If you show up and try he will do his best to make sure you understand the material.
If you show up to class and pay attention he will make sure you can pass his tests
Very nice guy. Will help you anytime that you need it. Expects students to come to class and pay attention and will reward with practice tests that are just like the exams.
All business majors, TAKE OSM 201-202 WITH DR JOHNSON!!!!he is awesome. He makes a somewhat difficult subject very easy. He will make sure you know what you need to know in order to be successful. The guy is a genius but he is not cocky about it. He wants you to succeed.
Great prof, but very tough. the class itself was nitpicky but that is stats. Calculator based class but unfortunately the book wasn't.
He is extremely anal but he is a GREAT professor. He does everything so that you can pass. The book is not necessary, because he explains everything much clearer and simpler. He does a review before every test and it is EXACTLY what the test will be about. Had I showed up to all classes I would have got an A. I got a C without taking the final.
He was very helpful when I had questions!
EASY EASY PROFESSOR. explains everything with ease and clarity, do the online HW its easy and it'll boost your grade. consists of 3 exams 1 final, 5 HW's , has a review before each test and it'll be the exact questions. def recommend
Absolutely wonderful prof. I found stats to be very difficult and he made it easy to understand. Props to him!
very good teacher. very clear and makes things easy. reviews for test. do the homework!
Attendance is required for the first 7 or so classes, but then the attendance is satisfied.
This Professor is GREAT!! Find him if you want to be successful in stats! He is very good at breaking things down, he wants his students to succeed! I was fortunate enough to find him here because I'd taken him at CCC and he made me actually feel confident in math and enjoy the challenge of learning it; before I feared math! not now!
Extremely tough grader. I understood the material before the tests and was still struggling to stay afloat in his class.
Good in explainig the materials but very tough in greading!
Dr. Johnson is an amazing professor. He can explain in 2 sentences what several chapters are attempting to explain. You won't even need the book-yes, he's that good. I enjoyed his class immensely even though I dislike math. He will spend time with you after class if you need it. He's a brilliant individual yet very down to earth. Go with Dr. J!!
By far the best stats professor. will tell you in the simply form how to do everything. I highly reccommend him for both stats OSM. THis class in itself is NOT easy. NOT going to find an awesome professor like him.
He was a great professor - math is not my strongest subject but he really made this course easy to understand. If I ever had a problem he was willing to help. Homework was all online, had an online pretest before the actual test & if you got at least 50% he gave you full credit for the pretest. He is very willing to work with students.
Great teacher to have. Goes slow enough for everyone to understand and has a review before each test which tells you the exact type of questions he will be asking. If you want a good grade in stats take this guy.
This man is one of the best professors I have ever had. If you are taking a statistics class and can fit him into your schedule, he should be your first choice without a doubt. He is crystal clear in his lectures and gives two comprehensive review sessions before each exam to make sure you are ready for it. This is a professor that actually cares.

This man is one of the best professors I have ever had. If you are taking a statistics class and can fit him into your schedule, he should be your first choice without a doubt. He is crystal clear in his lectures. best math and statistic teacher.sessions before each exam to make sure you are ready for it. This is a professor that actually cares.
Dr. Johnson is the best professor I have ever had. He makes the class interesting and does not try to confuse you. He teaches the material like it is, plain and simple. If you still do not understand it, he will gladly help you. I wish I could have him for every class!
Great professor! Explains all problems in detail so we understand. Also, if class is over early, then he is willing to stay and help anyone who is struggling with the homework. Tells every question that will be on exams so you will know what to study ahead of time.
Johnson is possibly the best professor you'll ever have. He makes the subject easy to understand an gives his time to students; he wants them to be successful. He is also a genius, something like 2 PH.D.s. I recommend changing up your schedule if you need to--take him.
HE is the best professor in CSU.take him with no doubts he is awesome he is helpful nice he knowledgable professor i was vey lucky to have him twice for business math and osm he is my very favorite :)
One if the best professor at CSU. Very nice guy, but he is very tough in grading.
This is one of the best teachers you will ever have in college. He truly goes out of his way to give you the best grade possible. He makes a hard subject easy to understand the way he breaks it down. Gives you exactly what you need to know for tests and has very helpful reviews. Don't miss out on a really great learning experience. Awesome teacher.
He's like a Math Guru! He won't make anything complicated, one concept at a time (as much as you need it repeated). Professor Johnson knows his stuff and he will make sure you do as well, if you put in good effort. The number one professor in my book as long as I've been at CSU.
EVERY MATH CLASS THAT I HAD WITH DR.JOHNSON I PASSED!!! IF YOU WANT TO PASS HAVE HIM AS YOU PROFESSOR!!!
I have learned so much from this Professor in OSM 202. He will make sure you understand the material . He knows how to make you understand. I wish i had him for other math class. Learn a lot in the OSM 202. Im very confident with statistic.
HE IS AN AMAZING PROFESSOR TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM ....his classes fill up fast ... Dr. Johnson explains topics in a way you can understand them there isnt much homework and he basically gives you the test all you have to do is study he is very helpful and even though attendance is mandatory he knows who comes and who doesn't so go anyway
A must have for business Stats at Cleveland State. Such a great teacher. Teaches things fast and simple, no fuss. He completely prepares you for tests. Always willing to help.
Dr. Johnson is the best professor CSU has. He is very educated and it shows. He explains things very simply and in a way that you can understand; even those of us who cringe at the sight of math. He will teach until you understand. He always said "it's that easy." That makes a student feel more comfortable without a doubt. HES AMAZING.
Professor Johnson is the man. Super smart when it comes to Math. Extremely helpful when it comes to concepts you don't understand. Has a review day before the exam and pretty much goes over it step by step. Take him if you can.
Easiest class I have taken in a while. It is a required class for anyone in the College of Business. Come to class, write everything down, and listen. He does reviews for each test and it is basically word for word of the test, just different numbers. Easiest class and highly recommend him to anyone. His classes fill up fast though!
His class is amazing just go to class take good notes and you'll do fine there a review right before test if you missed a class and that really helps he's funny and makes things relate to real life experiences i have taken him for both bus 201 and osm 202
3 tests in class and homework assignments on connect. I did not find him that easy like what many people say, however another professor said Johnson is as easy as it gets. I got a D in class but luckily I found out it was not required for me to have a C or better, so I do not have to retake it.
Johnson's class makes you think that the exams are going to be the simplest ever! Which they might be. But, he is a TOUGH GRADER! especially when it comes to rounding up or down! he confuses you because sometimes he wants you to round to 4 decimals and sometimes to 3! if you mess something like that up you'll lose TOO MANY points on that question!
Johnson is a great professor. Easiest stats related class I've ever had. 3 tests, which can be a little tricky, but go to class and you'll be fine. We normally got out of class really early every day, which was great. He's very clear when he teaches but if you don't understand something, speak up! Lots of extra credit.
He is a very good professor. He might be picky, but he is from the math department. Very clear and will tell you exactly what is on the test. I recommend him for this class because others do poorly with other professors.
He was such a nice guy and very helpful. He takes everything very slow and makes sure everyone understands the material before moving on. As long as you show up to class, you'll absolutely get a good grade in this class. I don't think I would have been able to pass with any other professor.
Amazing Professor!
Clarence is probably one of the best professors I've ever had. In every class, he essentially teaches you how to do every single problem that will be on every test. Step by step. All you need to do is go to class, take good notes and you will be fine. He also lets you out 20 to 30 minutes early almost every single class, which is just awesome.
Excellent at explaining this crazy math VERY well. Lectures only what's on tests. Only downfall is ZERO room for mistakes. Only 4 assignments/ tests. Unfortunately, I dropped the ball for a minute and did not pass. Great instructor for students who suck in math. Review notes/utilize tutors. Go to class! He knows who does not!
This class was not as easy as some of the older reviews depicted. All lectures are spent going over future test questions in preparation for the exams. The exams are long, tedious, and strictly graded with no curve. Professor Johnson is also extremely moody and difficult to get along with. I would not recommend him
By far the hardest class I've ever taken. 4 grades - 3 exams and a homework grade, all worth 100 points. Tests are very hard and he grades with no curve and very little partial credit. Lectures are short (Usually out in 20-30 minutes). He is a great professor, but CSU needs to tweak this class. I'm an honors level student and almost failed.
He is a great professor that helps the students. Gives one question a day for whats on test. Gives many examples and won't move on until everyone gets material. Attendance is non mandatory but if don't go you won't do good. He tells you exactly what the exam is. Only reason it was hard is because of it being Stats. He does great job and recommend
Uses Hawkes Learning (which I love), book is unnecessary. Tough grader on tests. Zero quizzes so you must do well on the four tests he does give (the 4th being the final). If you do go during office hours he will absolutely do his best to help clarify. He was nice however based on his grading by only a few items I wouldn't take him again.
Great professor. He makes sure EVERYONE gets the material not hesitating to answer questions, even if its the same question 10 times. Go to class, he gives whats gonna be on the test so you prepare. He gives homework online that is due the next class after the test. Book is not needed but access code is. Stats is hard but he makes it understandable
If you pay attention, ask him for help and study enough you'll do fine. Just don't skip class or come in late otherwise you'll be on his bad side and most likely fail part of the exam. He's a brilliant professor but very tough.
Prof Johnson tells you the material that is going to be on the test in each session of class but deducts points harshly on those tests for being off a decimal place. Class is usually only a half hour because he goes over the material he needs to and as long as there are no questions you're free to go.
Clear when explaining material and does not cover unnecessary topics.
Statistics is a hard class, but he honestly dumbs it down so well. Class isn't mandatory but sometimes he hands out extra credit to those who are there. Homework assignments over each chapter but gives you a while before they're due. Tests are not hard if you go to class and take notes, although he doesn't take attendance, you should REALLY go.
Do not even think about taking your classes with this guy.
Is very good with his lectures, will make sure you understand the material, however because he gives you everything that will be on the test, he takes no prisoners when grading his exams, if you do not do it the exact way he wants you to do it you will get entire questions wrong on exams. He will not curve even if most of the class fails an exam.
Overall he is not all that difficult as long as you show up to class and put in the effort. Stats is a difficult class for me but he really helped me to understand everything from his lectures. He wastes no time in teaching things we will not need and always tells his students what content will be used for the short answer questions on exams.
He is a very hard professor but ill make this easy Cons: he grades with a fine tooth comb one little mistake and hell take away points you have to give your undivided attention in class if you have your phone out he will embarrass you pros: all you have to do memorize your notes and you'll do amazing in this class just keep rewriting them
As long as you come to class, the class is extremely easy. He really dumbs down the problem so that one can really understand them. He is always there to help if you need it and is very patient. Never play on your phone in class!
AVOID THIS PROF esp if you are an athlete and miss some class due to travel. I had a 3.5+GPA and even with tutors I only got a D. If you miss an exam and take later, you will get a harder exam with stuff not covered in class. I retook with another prof and got A-. No extra credit, no curve, few or no points for partial credit.
OSM 201 was supposed to be an easy A class, but the leaving of the current professor left Johnson as the replacement. This man does not conduct himself at all like someone with a phD. Talks like he's drunk, is not accessible outside of classroom, and will deduct massive points on tests for rounding an extra decimal. He made Calculus II seem easy.
Dr. Johnson's humor isn't for everyone. But he is VERY good at what he teaches. I've taken 2 stats classes with him and got amazing grades. He dumbs everything down so well and makes everything so clear. He expects respect and is the toughest grader you will ever have. But if you show up and pay attention in class there's no way you won't get an A
Not sure how he is in person, but he was not prepared to go remote at all. He made the zoom lessons sound optional but they are definitely not, and the tests have nothing to do with the homework assignments. Stats is tough as it is but you really have to be motivated and self taught to make it through this class. I'd avoid taking him if you can.
Professor sucks. He gives you too much information that will not be on the test or homework. Homework is 25% of grade and is easy but test is very difficult. Said he will post formula on test and it was nowhere to be found. His summer class is almost impossible to pass and I took it twice in the summer. OSM department wont help!!! AVOID HIM!!!!
DO NOT TAKE HIS COURSE REMOTELY!!!!! I did this summer and it was terrible! He is not prepared at all and the homework assigned has NOTHING to do with the exams. The exam format will be nothing like youve seen before for a math course, youre essentially typing in a word doc super confusing and he gives NOTHING to prepare with. I would give him a 0
Professor Johnson is one of the best professors I've had. He takes the time to go through the material at a reasonable pace and is able to explain the concepts very well. He also is very good at communicating what concepts are important to know before an exam, which as most students know can make all the difference.
I took his class online due to covid. He doesnt use Connect, he uses möbius which doesnt give feedback for wrong answers so there is no way to find out how your response was wrong. The homework assignments are basically small tests with no help. The lectures and panopto vids are all you have to study with. Hes also a tough grader on tests.
Makes you buy his book and then never use it. Don't take this class.
I do not recommend this professor to anyone. He does not help students at all when they have questions. If a student says something to bother him he will threaten the whole class by taking away extra credit. This is the WORST class I have ever taken. Even if he is your last option do not take his class.
He is a hard grader. Don't' expect that he will curve your exam even if you made a small mistake he will take away the points. He does gives you extra credit if you don't piss him off. This class in general is a hard course so you can't expect to pass if you don't put time and effort in it. I do think the way he explains the material is helpful.
Prof. Johnson is a great professor under the context that I had him. I strongly advise taking the summer semester version of this class. The workpace is faster, but he doesn't waste any time going over material that you won't have on the test. The subject is difficult, but if you attend the lectures and pay attention, you will do fine.
I've heard mixed to bad things about his online courses, but in my experience in person he gave the exact questions to the test in every lecture (including what number it'll be on the test), as well as being thorough with what he expects on each question. This was pre covid keep in mind, but I would say he was a great professor in my opinion ��
I like him. Hesa little arrogant but knows his stuff. He explains the concepts in class and answers questions when we have them. He tells you whats important to know for tests and offers extra credit. Hes big on being on time for class and clear that you probably wont do well if you dont come to class. Id take him again for another class.
The class is very difficult and requires a lot of time and dedication. Although I love the way it was set up. We had 3 exams and had about a month to complete the homework before the day of our exam. Do not get behind because the work itself is not simple. My class was online so I struggled a lil but Im sure prof Johnson would be a gem in person!
I would not recommend to take this course by this professor, he doesnt provide any extra credits and test are very tough. I got a D, if he would have provided just one extra credit assessment I would have gotten a C.
if you show up to class, do the homework, and can manage to stay off your phone for an hour you will be fine. his tests are 20 questions (10 Multiple choice/10 show your work). He tells you during lecture which topics will be covered on show your work portion and usually provides an example. 3 tests and 10 homework.
He grades on three (very hard) tests and a little homework. This is a tough class, and if you miss a class it will hurt you. Don't use your phone unless you want him to call you out on it. Not very understanding and will not help you more than the bare minimum. I'd probably try another professor if I could...
Under no circumstances would I recommend voluntarily signing up to have him be your professor. He is strict over the most bizarre things, makes you buy his book that he is the author of (seemingly so he can profit, you never use the book but need it to access the HW), and makes the class unnecessarily difficult due to its structure. Not worth it.
Five hour per week online lectures. Good luck
i don't recommend
Horrible experience. The class average was below a 60% for the entire course. No extra credit or assignment repeat opportunities were offered despite the average student receiving an F.
I would never recommend signing up to have him be your professor. He is strict over the most unnecessary things and makes you buy the book that he is the author of (only use is HW). He takes weeks to respond to emails and then tells you it is too late for him to help. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT!!
He don't give extra credit to help your grade. When asking questions about assignments real snappy and made me feel uncomfortable about asking questions.
zero extra credit opportunities, half of the class failed because he just talked during class and gave us homework then had three tests that counted for literally everything. I even went to tutoring and they didn't get the homework problems correct. Emailed him many times and got no feedback and failed the class. do not recommend
I've never written a review for a professor before but I had to for this one. STAY AWAY! If I were you take a different professor. Didn't pass by 2 points and he didn't care. Super tough grader.
1.Reads from the slides. 2. Only 30% passed this class. 3. Tough exams. 4. No extra credits.
Although he doesn't take attendance, you should definitely attend. He lectures from a textbook he wrote, talks about it in class, and does example questions on the topic. He gives you a total of 3 Exams and homework is due at 11:59 pm on the day of the exams. The first two exams are easier than the third exam don't skip classes for the third exam.
not awful, but i got a B+ and that was the second highest grade and half the class failed. just show up and take notes and you'll be fine honestly. he also outlines exactly what is on the exams so if you show up and pay attention you should pass . good luck tho
Lectures were very redundant, with tons of unnecessary information. Very tough grader, promised a curve but did not curve, even by 1 point. His class is very very difficult compared to other professors for OSM 202. Good guy, but tough professor. I would try to avoid taking him, his class average grade is substantially lower than other professors.
One of the worst professors I have ever had. On day 1 he told us he isn't lenient on late work, even went as far to say he didn't let a student take a missed exam after getting into a car crash otw to class. Extremely tough grader, lectures are insanely slow and make zero sense, & was locking students out for being a few mins late (morning class).
I must say, at the end of my four years at cleveland state that he was clearly the worst professor I had. I graduated with honors and did not pass his class. Everything is made unnecessarily difficult and taught in the most difficult manner. Take anyone else as they understand the material is much more practical to do in excel as opposed to by hand
Professor Johnson's BUS201 class is no walk in the park. Lectures can be slow, and exams are brutally tough. But with focus and the help of tools like unstuck AI, you can nail it. Worth taking if you're up for the challenge.
