I took Professor Johnson's ACCT102 course in the Spring and LOVED it! She gave a lot of practice, but it's very useful to not only prepare for exams, but actually learn the concepts. I am currently taking her ACCT133 class and am happy she's teaching it because she is so sweet, and her e-mails just make my day! She's amazing!

Professor Johnston is an amazing instructor who has a clear grading criteria. She is always open to help and her tests are very similar to the homework she assigns. I would say she's the best instructor in the whole accounting department at Cerritos College.

She is very kind and a very smart professor. She is clear with what she expectations. You must earn the participation points. She notices when you're late and she notices when you don't attend lab. It is obvious that she cares for her students and will do anything she can do to help. Lectures are mostly practice problems to help you understand.

Accounting is hard but she will do everything she can to help you succeed. She answers emails quickly, gives detailed notes, and warns you of what you're in for on the tests. She never makes you feel dumb and always makes your question feel important. It is tough, but if you try your hardest and listen theres no reason you shouldn't pass.

There are no words to describe how amazing Prof. J is. She is very skilled and knowledgable about her profession. Loves her job. She's always available for you no matter what! This is not an easy grade (unless you're an Acct. wiz), you do have to work for it, but it's not too difficult. Just do your hw, STUDY, and ask for help. Def. need the books.

A really patient Professor with a good attitude at all. The assignment was pretty easy, and exam was pretty easy as well. Just for reminding some of the multiple choice question in the exam was from the old publisher website, you guys can go visit that website(is in the syllabus) and study for it, is pretty much the same. Recommend!

For her 101 class, she uses regular Mcgraw Hill Connect homework which is around 10 problems per week. She has weekly quizzes due every Sunday as well. I had her in person and her exams are taken in the accounting lab. You can use your own laptop and she may walk around during tests. She is very kind and she cares for her students!

If you want to learn how to use Excel take Proffesor Johnsons' 133 class. She is a great teacher and provides excellent feedback on all your assignments. I had never used Excel and had never taken an online course before but she made the transition easy on both ends. Ask for help if you need it, she genuinely wants to see her students succeed.

Starting off, I took this course during the summer, which was heavily face paced. However, it was not so difficult if you did all of the assignments (including the extra practice). If you are not a lecture individual such as myself, then you should be able to pass by reading the book and doing the assignments. I heavily recommend this professor!

Professor Johnson is a caring and inspirational instructor. She will guide you to success as long as you put in effort to learn the material. You will have to take time on the side to understand the material since she gives out a lot of information at once in the lectures, so it'll take time to process it. I 10/10 recommend taking her classes.

I took the six week summer course. It had a lot of stuff packed in, but P. Johnson really cared about me and was an awesome teacher. Her lectures were easy to understand and the only reason it was hard is becaues accounting is new to me. She offered me an opportunity with Cal CPA but sadly the other prof in charge never got back to me. :/

Doesn't listen to SAS student needs. Provides overwhelmingly redundant information with excessive email notifications. Does not provide clear due date for extra credit assignment and insinuates that you didn't read all her excessive emails instead of acknowledging that she should have been clear where it counts, on the assignment page itself.
