Mr. Johnston is one of the best math teachers i have ever had. He makes the class give him the answers to the questions he does on the board, instead of just writing it himself; which is a good habit that all teachers should have. he also explains problems very well, and makes sure everyone understands the concepts.

3rd sem. acct student here. Doug is by far the best math prof at the college. His lectures are fun and easy to follow. Do not miss them! Also, always do the homework. He is an amazing teacher. He gives you all the tools, you just need to apply yourself. I wish I could have him for all my terms at the college. Thank you Doug, you are the best.

Needs to slow down, and do more teaching, so we know the concept! and do more examples out of the textbook so we know how to do it! Johnston talks about the topic for 15 mins and than assigns the homework but no one has a clue how to do it, because he barley taught HOW to do it.

Mr. Johnston is honestly quite a fabulous teacher; even if some concepts may be difficult at first, he does as best as he can to explain it clearly and be available to help any and all students through it, whatever their issue may be; which, is as much as you can really ask for. Overall, an excellent teacher with an excellent personality.

You can tell he genuinely cares about students passing. He gives you the tools to pass, you just need to apply them. He's organized and professional, but still fun! His lessons take some getting used to because they aren't long and full of examples. If you just ask, he will explain more in depth to help you understand. Fantastic teacher!

Doug Johnston is a great teacher! He takes time to make sure we understand and always encourages questions. There's no need for 15 examples; that's what homework is for. He's made it very clear where we can get help if we need it. Doug is the kind of teacher you hope for and one who makes a positive impact on your education.

Doug Jonhston, in all honesty, has to be the best teacher here at the College. The amount of time and effort he puts into his position is almost at the point of being ludicrous. He is always available to help, whenever you need it and he tries his best to make you understand the material. Best teacher at the College, deserves a raise! :p

His method of teaching is by far the best I have experienced. I have nothing but good things to say about his way of teaching and his personality. Just one of the greatest. Thank you so much Doug.

Sometimes I felt very rushed in class but found Doug to be available almost anytime of the day to help for anything.If he is retiring, he will definitely be missed. His commitment to his students is exceptional as is his commitment to the usage of the Mohawk website. If only other could follow his footsteps, it would help a lot more students.

Mr. Doug Johnston is the only reason I'm sticking it through. Feeling very directionless and lost, I nearly dropped everything. Then, the class after the mid-term. Mr. Johnston told us all about his experience in not letting math win and it motivated me so much! He really is by far the best teacher I have had in all my time at College!! Thank you!

I had Doug many years ago at Mohawk Saltfleet Campus. He was a fabulous math teacher, but more importantly, he was the first person ever to open my eyes to the possibility of going to university. With that nudge, I went on to university and got my degrees. He was a major impact in my life, and I am eternally grateful.

Wouldn't take again

The test are different and he reads off his powerpoint. He doesnt really do much to help you be successful in the class. His class is also very boring and his study guides dont really help at all. I would have preferred a more structured study guide. Hes a nice guy but not a good professor.
