Prof. Johnson was an exceptional and informative instructor. His guidelines to pass the class are clear and simple. If you want the A, he'll be there every step of the way to ensure your success. There are NO "curve-balls," do the homework (on Wiley Plus, which you'll need to purchase online), and prepare for exams. I'll be taking his ACCTA102 too.

Professor Johnson is honest, caring and hilarious. His lecture could never be boring if you spend time to come to class and listen to what he shares. Go over your exam study guides at least the night before the exam to get an A. Extra credit is available when you complete all of your hw on Wiley Plus. Good class and awesome professor.

I been here for almost 2 years and he's my favorite professor I've had at OCC. He tells funny stories that will make you laugh and teaches the material in a smooth way. Exams were little difficult, but no surprises. I highly recommend everyone taking all of his classes if you're majoring in accounting!!!

Doug is the reason I am focusing in accounting. He somehow found a way to make the most boring of subjects easy and interesting. He answers all your questions, and will help you out during office hours. Ask questions, do the study guides and make an awesome notecard and you will be golden. Not an easy A, but a well-earned A.

Professor Johnson explains things really easily, show up take maybe a page of notes which he usually will tell you what to write and even has practice problems online if you have trouble as well as the online homework helps your grade and is easy. STUDY his study guides and it's a guaranteed B or more on the test, besides that just study his slides

Doug is great. I had him for 4 accounting classes, and he set me towards transferring to CSULB as an accounting major. I highly recommend him. Study what he tells you and his classes are easy. He really wants you to learn and pass. By the way, he keeps a pretty low profile, but he plays in a country band. You can see him on YouTube. Classic :)

Classic teacher that forgets hes been doing accounting for years. Acts like its so easy whenever anyone asks a question. Its not easy for everyone. Not a great professor at all.

Great teacher who makes accounting surprisingly fun. There is a decent amount of homework, but it's useful for understanding how to do problems on the test. He explains everything in a very easy way and he relates the class to the real world. You will do great in the class if you do the test review sheets as they are similar to the tests.

This subject is hard to grasp but Professor Johnson does a solid job of breaking it down. You have to read the book to pass the tests - the class is test heavy. Professor was not good at responding to e-mails. He is not good at updating grades canvas, in fact the grade we earned on our final was not published, nor was our participation grade.
