She's a sucky teacher! She doesn't teach clearly, she always braggs half the class about her son,humiliates the students in class and is very unhelpful!
If you had to pick her for either the lecture or the lab class... pick the LAB CLASS! She's so bad.
Its a pretty easy class, but you do have to study and do the modules...if you at least do that youll do good
You have to work on your own. Confusing, Knows the stuff, but doesn't know how to give it the students. She is conceited and thinks she is perfect.
she knows her stuff, but she doesn;t know hor to teach. she is all messy when she is trying to explain something so everyone gets confuse.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE teacher. can NOT teach if her life depended on it.

way too conceited, almost rude. I guess she likes to teach, but it seems as if she didn't... she's not even clear when she explains stuff.

great teacher
Avoid at all costs. She has a tendency of making everything much harder than what it is.
Very difficult, she rushes through the lab manual and expects the lecture teacher to teach.
Never got anything other than an A in chemistry untill taking her class. Struggled to barely pull a B. She knows her stuff but doesnt explain it well.
I've taken all chemistry classes with her and i have learned more than i could ever learn. Sadly i changed my major to nursing, but i know one day i will continue my studies in the feild of chemistry. I love chemistry because of this professor.

I dont understand**** of what she tries to explain in class... I dont know how people like her are teachers
The WORST!!!She swears she is the hottest thing on this planet. Spends more time fixing her hair than actually teaching. Makes everything seem harder that what it actually is. Do not take her if you have another choice!
Class was hard. She will get upset if you ask her things twice. She has her own system, so she goes only by that and nothing else. Her test are hard.
DON'T TAKE HER! She knows her material, but she just really doesn't know how to teach it. I WAS a Pharmacy major and Chemistry minor and I dropped that because of her. My love for chemistry will never be the same...
I think she is a very smart lady and teaches basic stuff. She isnt hard at all she just wants everybody to know theyre stuff, and not slack off like everybody. So if you actually wanna learn GET HER!=)
Hard subject, excellent teacher... you just need to do the work... one of Miami Dade's best teacher!!
the subject is hard and u should go to all the classes.Have to pay attention to everything she says. can be quite rude if u annoy her but the best thing is she has the best grading scale.its very curved if u fail this class ur stupid, review test taken when graded.guaranteed to be on the next test.
I think shes a bad teacher. She tends to make things look harder than they are. She seems to get annoyed when you ask her somthing more than once, shes rude and condescending. The only good thing is she teaches from the nb so if you can teach yourself and just show up for tests its and easy A.
Chemistry is not an easy subject but she is a very good teacher, really knows the material. Pay attention in class, review the assignments, and your notes and you should get a good grade.
She knowwwss what she's doing but has no way of passing it on to her students, WORST teacher: has no patience & no learning technique. She tries so hard to confuse an individual..made me hate chemistry and her dumb synonyms!!!!
okay ppl heres the thing about this lady,im going to be honest with yall, she knows her**** no doubt, shes a **** though no lye... she cares more about her looks then teaching chemistry... esp. her hair, she'll play with her hair like 50 times within an hour... some chm teacher huh... I passed with a C.. Better than nothing.. her test are hard !
Hard to understand, but is willing to work with you if you come to her office. Even the extra credit is seriously tough(not even worthwhile). Nice lady, but again has an unclear teaching style.
explains every thing really clearly....
ok, she is not a good teacher, she knows her chemistry inside out, but doest present it in a good way, not very patient, and i'm afraid to ask for help, lol, well, she cares mostly about her looks..not recomended...:P
She is really good. Her class is very clear and interesting but do not expect miracles you are going to take chemestry so you must study. She will help you any time at her office hs. =)Great Prof.
She knows her stuff and wants you to know it too. Hard class but her work book helps. If you don't miss class don't waste $$ on the text!
SHE IS A VERY GOOD PROFESSOR. YOU HAVE TO STUDY BUT YOU CAN GET AN "A" IN HER CLASS. SHE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON AND IS WILLING TO HELP YOU IN OFFICE HOURS.
she is everything these people say and then some, to say the least. she's confusing when she explains, SO anal about EvEryTHING!!!! and shes fighting the almanac HARDCORE!! if u liked chem b4 u'll hate it with her. NOTE TO PROF: PLEASE BE TRY BEING A LIL PATIENT TO STUDENTS WHO DONT UNDERDSTAND IT ON THE 1ST ROUND, dont be soooo uptight.
thinks you should know EVERYTHING before you come to class. not helpful. lots of attitude. everything must be PERFECT, sloppiness and laziness are not tolerated to any degree. if you are lost or confused see BRAY, Larry in the chem dept for assistance during his office hours, he saved me, and i got an A in this class. Go Bray!
She doesn't have much patients but shes a nice person. I found it easier to leave class and teach myself from the Study Guide book. I got a B. Best part of the class was not having to but the text.
Do NOT take her class! She knows chemistry inside and out, but she expects you to know it like you had studied it for 30 yrs like she has. She is not helpful and has NO patience, she has major attitude and is not approachable. She should not be teaching , she should be working in a lab by herself, she has no people skills.....
This class first of all isn't an easy class, if you are not willing to study you will fail. She explains everything clearly. I do have to say she is a little crazy and has an attitude sometimes. Overall she isn't that bad like people put her to be.
she is very helpfull...and clear about what she is teahing..also she explains things very well
Very good professor. Very helpful. However, you need to study to pass. She helped me a lot since I don't like chemistry, but I enjoyed her class, also she's very cute...
Take Chemistry at the InterAmerican Campus. Only a small pre-lab, 4-5 exercises and that's it. She makes you COPY the whole experiment in your notebook for only 5 points. And everything is checked thru the computer. Most of the students got C's. Tale profesor Okafor at InterAmerican Campus for any chemistry lab. Very easy A with him. DON'T TAKE HER
She is an amazing teacher. She gets you interested in the subject and explains the subject matter in a way that even a five year old would understand. She makes chemistry interesting. You'd love her class. If i had to take chem again i would definitely pick her as my teacher. Though she's difficult, she actually teaches and you'll actually learn.
I took this course over the summer. It was fast paced, but she really helps you to understand. She explains everything in normal terms and puts it into different perspectives by comparing it to everyday life. You don't need the text book, but you do need the study guide. Review that and you're set. I'd take her again if I could.
She is a very good teacher. I took 1045 and 1033 with her and she explains very good, she gives you extra credits to better your grade. She is very nice when you go to her office with questions. she is willing to help students all the time
Loves using analogies 2 explain difficult concepts in a simple way. Sumtimes gets impatient w/students who don't try/prepare 4 class. Very helpful, especially when u take questions 2 her office. Does best to help students raise their grades by tweaking syllabus and giving EC. U don't need the textbook, so stay current in the Study Guide and ur set!
NEVER take Chemistry or Biology at the Kendall Campus. After taking CHM1045 and CHM1045L at the InterAmerican, Chemistry at Kendall campus and specially with Prof Johan was HORRIBLE. She has 0 patience, experiments are hard, some time-measured. I wouldn't take her again even if somebody pays me.
compared to the other teacher is the second best. all you really haveto do is study alot, read, do the problems she tell you to do, and go to lab to practice adbn sask questions.
i had johann for chm 1045 and got an A and i highly recommend this teacher for 1046 as well. she's very helpful, always available during office hours if you need anything and her test might be a little challenging but as long as you do your share of studyin you should get an A.
you have to be in class in order to do the work! she doesn't care at all if you're in class, nothing against you, but to your advantage you should go to better understand the work. no homework, just like 4 tests and a final. I would take her again. she is also very open to whatever you need!
Talks fast, moves fast. She's rather impatient with students who fear chemistry. This isn't a teacher who is going to hold your hand.
Someone please give this woman a chill pill, or something better. She's like on speed. Too fast & impatient. Always in a hurry, even when she doesn't need to be. Drop the course fast if you aren't prepared to run like a racehorse. She makes it too hard and will cause you to shipwreck.
This lady was difficult. The only funny part was she was contantly checking herself out, touching her hair. She was re-writing the book we were using at the time I took it, she passed out a couple revised chapters and we used that instead of the actual book. She is tuff, but do-able.
This wonderful lady is a very resorceful teacher. She know what she is talking abou and always prepared for class. Her class is easy if u study and pay attention to the modules PLESE GET THE MODULES u will never be lost once u have it. She is a very straight up professor u have to work hard for your grades and she is always available during office
Good teacher, she really knows her stuff! If you sit in the front I don't tihnk you should have a problem. If you do she has a lot of ffice hours. She does move a little fast, but if you do what your supposed to do I don't think it will be a problem. I got a B and I don't know how!
This is one of the most helpful teachers I know. Explains everything very clearly. Take notes and listen and you will be ok. Always avaliable for office hours if further help is needed.
Ok prof. goes at very high pace. but maybe b/c I took it for summer. I got a B don't know how. Gives extra credit up to 10 points for turning in homework. the only bad thing about her is that she tests too many modules in test. She really knows her Chemistry. I give her a B.
I took this professor for CHM1033 this past summer. She is by far one of the best professors I have had in Miami Dade. She really wants you to do well and to learn. She is not an easy teacher because she wants you to study so that you can actually LEARN. My advice to everyone is to read the module from her book before going to class.
not to helpfull
she has been a great help to me, dont miss one lab caue if you do she will withdraw you!!! also her tests are nottt easy at all,`you need to study alottt but hello is chemistry
Chemistry is hard. And she understands how students feel towards chem. so she teaches to make it as easy as possible, if you study you will pass her class. The chem book i got to use was written by her and all her notes. so that is helpful
I took her for both the lab and the lecture. She is a great teacher, she is extremely helpful if she knows that you're trying. Go to class and you will understand. The study guide she made is perfect and is super easy to understand. Study and o the assignments and you will pass
I think she has an attitude problem and i do not appreciate it at all. Plus she is a little too strict i think. Okay, she knows her stuff, but we are LEARNING the material, which is already difficult. I would not recomend her @ all
I think she is a very good professor and a very nice person. She has an additute, so she may seem intimitading, but she's not. SHe just really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She also has no patience for those who slack off and do not give a damn about their responsibilities. She is one of the best professors @ dade i think.
In the beginning of this semester, i though she was a real grade A ****, but as the semester proceeds, i realized that she just pushes her students so they can be the best they can be. Best Chemistry teacher @ dade 4 real! Yes, she is intimidating at first, but give her a chance. She's willing to help those who help themselves
This professor is intimidating at first but as the summer progresses she becomes one of the most helpful professors at miami dade. She is so extremely helpful and teaches you easy eays to remember very hard things. The subject itself is a little hard but with her help you will do great. She really cares about her students. i'm taking her this comin
Adequate teacher. Do your homework problems and examples in the book consistently. You can pass with an A if you do this. Don't wait until the last minute and fall behind. She has no tolerance for people who don't put in the work.
She is a great professor. You must attend class in order to pass. Test are not too bad, read and do the modules and because the test are very similar. I had her for lecture and lab and it was great. Make sure you study and you will do just fine. I would definately recomend her...
Professor Johan wasn't of any help to me. I didn't enjoy this class and I didn't look forward to it. I ended up dropping her, I didn't have the time to sit and learn her whole book in order to pass. I wouldn't recommend her.
Horrible Professor. She flew through the chapters. She rarely answered questions. The test were extremely difficult. I needed a tutor to teach me everything she flew through. Don't recommend her at all.
This teacher is very helpful if you use her office hours. She gives you a chance to replace 1 test grade with web-assign (100%) plus she'll count the final as 1 or 2 test grades to help out your average. If you have a question, go see her during her office hours and she'll be more than happy to help you out. I received an A in this course.
She is a great professor. You must attend class in order to pass. Read, make exercices and examples and do the modules because her tests are very similar. I had her for lecture.You can pass with an A if you do this. Don't wait until the last minute. She is a great professor and I wish take her again. My grade was A and I'm international student!
She is everything you would want in a professor but the class is hard though but she explains good.
Dr. Johann is a great professor, very honest and to the point. If you don't understand something, go to her office hours. She will explain it clearly. There are only so many weeks to complete 15 modules, expect a fast pace. I took it in summer, but still did great. She can seem rude, but she's really not. She is just disconnected with the students.
EXCELLENT teacher! makes sure everyone understands. Make sure you do the modules and try to stay ahead of her so you can ask your questions in class, she has no problem with it.. and study of course and you WILL do well..
Horrible!! She has an attitude and all she does is rush through the lessons. She can't comprehend we are all students and we're learning the material. She swears we are all Chem majors. She needs to stop getting it twisted!
She is something else... Csn be very rude and will put you on the spot... It seems like she is all about the money. VERY RUDE...She will help you if you go to her office.. I wouldn't recommed taking her. Prof Gottlieb, Dorma, is much better...much better..
I think this lady is PMSing! She is very rude! The labs are useless, everything is in the manual. common sense stuff. The quizzes are very easy, just study from all your lab reports. You should pass the quizzes with flying colors. Not a difficult class at all!
Worst chemistry teacher ever. I took honors chemistry in ninth grade and it made more sense then than it does now. She cannot teach. She rushes through the class. Puts topics on tests she might have explained only in passing, if at all. It feels like she stalls when you ask a question because she doesn't know how to answer it.
I regret taking her, but thats what happens when you register late and you just take whoever is left, and the best teachers are taken already! anyway I agree she is a very rude and intimidating person, she once yelled at a girl on my class, come on we are not highschool kids!I did not like that for most lab experiments we had to do most of them our
I did not like that for most lab experiments we had to do most of them ourselves in groups as if we were the teacher in front of everybody,she will put you on the spot.. come on this is not a speech class!.. and dont dare to forget your googles, calculator or the manual because she will deduct points from your grade.
not great
SHE IS JUST NOT GREAT AT ALL; FIRST OF ALL IT IS AN INTRODUCTORY COURSE IT SHOULD BE EASIER AT LEAST SHE SHOULD TEACH, AND EXPLAIN BEACUSE SHE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO DO ANY,IM SORRY BUT SHE IS RUDE I DIDNT LIKE HER AT ALL PLEASE DONT TAKE HER IF YOU DONT WANT TO FAIL, LOSE MONEY AND TIME EITHER
first of all.. i got a C on intro to chem. because of her tests that were never like she said they were and im taking chm1045 and i have an A. obviously she is not good at teaching and her tests were nothing like she said they were. i woulndt take her agian and she has a nasty attitude.
SHE IS A BIT RUDE AND MEAN. HER TEST ARE NOT AS EASY AS SHE SAYS. I HAD TO WORK EXTREMELY HARD FOR A (B). BUT IF SHE SEES THAT YOU ARE TRYING AND DOING THE EXTRA CREDIT, SHE IS A LOT NICER AND HELPFUL
No doubt this class is hard, but if you dedicate yourself by doing the homework, going to lecture, and asking for help when you need it, you?ll do fine! Dr. Johann is REALLY GOOD, she explains problems from the test, and she gives different examples of a question and works it out in front of you. She is extremely helpful, but she does not spoon fee
Low tolerance for lazy people. Do the Work!!! She's REALLY GOOD, explains well and very helpful when you need it.
HORRIBLEEEEEEEE, THE WORST TEACHER, DO NOT TAKE CARE, PLEASE, SHE DOES NOT KNOWS HOW TO EXPLAIN WHICH MAKES HER NOT A TEACHER. DONT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR SHE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO TEACH I LOVED CHEMISTRY UNTIL I TOOK THIS CLASS WITH HER DONT TAKE HER YOU WILL REGRET
LAB-You really have to prove yourself to Dr. Johann to get anything out of the class. Her attitude can be best compared to a Drill Sergeant. Do the extra credit and she MIGHT treat you a little better. Get to know those formulas (backwards and forward) from the lab manual because they WILL come up on the test. Also expect to explain those answers.
She is very hard. Doesnt explain well. Just had my second test. All I can tell you if you want to pass, study the material that she BARELY GOES OVER! She just stressed thermodynamics for 3 weeks and spent 3 classes on kinetics and the WHOLE TEST was kinetics. I got the day off of work yesterday and studied mainly Thermo. Also alot of theory. AVOID!
I am very good at chemistry and passed CHM 1045 with an A without even going to the lectures. I love chemistry yet Professor Johann is making me hate it she cannot teach if her life depended on it, she has an attitude problem and will fail you. i have a (B) right now and I am busting my behind.
She does not understand questions, so she will yell at you because she does not think you are listening. She is the flesh form of a period. She is convinced she is a great teacher. But she is not, I manage to pass that class because I read the book. 12 weeks into the course and she is yet to say something of any importance or relevance.
Make sure to study a lot from modules and understand the material. Also, after tests go to her office hours for review. She is really helpful and has a positive attitude as long as you show her you are putting effort in her class. Make sure to take it Tuesday/Thursday to have more time on tests.
AMAZING FOR LAB, LOVE HER! but i heard she's terrible for lecture :|
I have to say that chem is not an easy subject but she doesn make it easy at all...She's a little messy with her notes,and she just repeat what's in the module.That's not teaching.The class started with 120 students and ended up with less than 80. Grades like 20,40,60 were very popular.One good thing..webassign.Do it it will help you. GOOD LUCK!!!!
the worts teacher ever she does not explain nothing she does not know how to teach!! omgggggggggggggggggggggggg i would never never ever take her!!
If you study from the modules(no need to buy the text book), you will ace her class with little effort. She explains everything very well, and she reviews before the test. You'll either have to be too stupid or too lazy to no get a good grade on her class.
damn no, i dont know how someone can say she is easy. look, she goes superfast, if you ask her something she looks at you like...-i just said that... Mi'jito. blah, dont take her if you want a good grade and are taking 2 other classes, you wont have time, she thinks thats the only class. Hell, no guys, fr real.and if you learn is cause of younother
Easy class if you do the work. May seem like she is being hard-assed at times, but really it's because 75% of the class consists of freshman who don't care to do any of the work and end up doing poorly. She is extremely nice (especially in office hours, she is really trying to help out). Easy A, good intro class into the world of chemistry.
This Prof. is horrible. I didn't understand anything :/ I do not recommend. She thinks by explaining it once you will understand. She makes this face that saids "kid i just explained it, dont you get it". I only undestood the fist 2 modules other than that I didn't understand crap. DONT GET HER.
At first I was super scared because I read the reviews and I'm not good at chem. However, I think you guys are wrong.She does help a lot during office hours and explain every single detail.You just need to show her that you are interested on getting good grades.I did all the exercices from the modules and got A's on all the exams. Study hard!
Awesome professor! Yes you do need to study! Stop being lazy and study. Yes sometimes she can snap but she does not have time for stupid questions. Study and you will get an A.
Is a good professor. If you attend class on a regular basis and understand everything she goes over you should do good on all the tests. Does not try to trick you at all and will give you an idea of what may be on the tests. The important thing is to devote time into studying the material. Passed this course with an A
ryhmes with witch :)
THIS PROFESSOR IS AWESOME. many people do not like her because she is REAL. i've had the honor to have her for 3 semesters straight so far and i hope to finish both my organics with her. she is the best chemistry teacher out there. she knows her stuff and if u show interest she will really re teach everything to you. chem is great with her.
SHE IS A GOOD PROFESSOR , SHE GIVES A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT, HER TESTS ARE PIECE OF CAKE AND EXPLAINS EVERYTHING AS MANY TIMES AS YOU NEED. HER TESTS ARE PIECE OF CAKE.
Hard Prof. Has good teaching skills and clarity, however discouraging and criticizing personality. Had her for half a semester in summer & wouldn't recommend her if you don't have a solid chm. background. Believe me there are better chm. professors on other MDC campuses. & Believe the reviews! I work hard & studied for hours & didn't pass.
This is a hard class and covers way to much material in a short period of time! Prof. Johann is nice enough and gives a decent lecture but does not have much ancillary materials nor does she give any review materials. Bottom line, be prepared to put in a lot of study time, don't miss the lectures and try to find study partners.
I thought this proffessor was great. She explains everything well and in simple terms. No need for expensive textbooks. Her book is perfect, but you do need to attend her class, pay attention, and take notes. She made the class eassy and ejoyable for a chemistry class.
This professor is insightful. Her tests are a bit hard but there is always the possibility of getting a few points more if you go to her office and discuss your questions on the test. all in all she is a good professor for intro chem, but be prepared to study your ass off if your background in chemistry isn't too good.
This class requires an exessive amount of study time unless you have a decent chem foundation. She is by the book and does not give extra credit except for 10 points for doing all of the homework. No chance to replace a low scoring test, no handouts or test review sheets are given. Lectures are good but that's it. There are more fair teachers!
She explains really good, but you still need to read the book. She's really rude when you ask questions. Changes her hair style every 5 minutes during lecture (you will laugh when she does it and remember this post). Just pay attention to the class, take a lot of notes, and STUDY! you NEED to study if you wanna pass.
Really hard!! You NEED but NEED to study and pay attention in class and even then you might not do so well. She is very negative and words the questions on the test really confusing. Would not recommend this proff to anyone :(
you have to study and pay attention to her class!!! she goes through the chapters really fast and you have to keep up!! try NOT TO MISS ANY OF HER CLASSES!!!
Tough but thorough. Takes time 2 review before exams & even made effort provide an extra day of review for midterms. Provides plenty of office hours for help outside of class. Her lectures keep u up w/lab class, otherwise u r lost. Listens 2 student suggestions & began emailing class notes. Learned a lot. Must study!!
This teacher goes way to fast and expects you to learn everything on your own. Other sudents in Prof. Papas's class got better grades overall and received alot more help. Prof. Johann knows her stuff but she is tough and makes the class harder than it needs to be. The text book is awfull (invest in timberlake)and get the handouts from Prof. Papas.
Very nice woman! She wrote the text book. However, I found the textbook to be watery. Her lectures are confusing because she writes them as she goes on a projection. Not my most rewarding science class.
ok so i had no previous chem experience, i ended up with a B in the class. I studied my butt off, if i would of done better on the 1st test i would of gotten an A. She tends to explain things fast and expects u to study alot at home. Most of the help i recieved came from the tutors at the chm lab, u must study alot, but shes not the worst or best..
TERRIBLE!!! save yourself now from her! shes rude and sarcastic and her teaching sucks! If you must take her just read the book on your own. Im doing that instead of paying attention to her and passing. DO NOT TAKE HER!
SHE IS AWESOME!!! I was so afraid of chemistry but thanks to her I love it!! She is so clear with how she explains things... Shes pretty fast you need to keep up it's not an easy A you need to study so stop trying to be lazy!! She's awesome I strongly recommend her if you really want to learn the material and your willing to put your time and effort in the class... I would take her again... Test are exactly what she covers in class. Take her Shes GREAT!!
Don't take her!!! this lady expects you to know everything in the book. She does not give you guidelines and goes really fast. she usually uses a sheet of paper on a projector and its hard to read and understand. Her test are dificult if you don't read every single sentence, and is not helpful when you ask her quetions she tells you to read the boo
Took this professor for chm1025 and 1045 and I got an A in both classes. I failed chemistry in high school. This professor explains very well and really prepares you for the exam. There is for exams and a final which is cumulative.
I passed with an A. She goes really fast,her tests are exactly from the modules,she WILL answer your questions,constantly telling people to see her during her office hours if u need help. So the point is you HAVE to study theres no way out of it. I really don't think she was that bad...when i say study.. i mean STUDY and you will seriously be fine
She was fine, I mean its really the kind of class you can do well in without coming to class, sometimes she can be confusing but shes really pretty decent. Tests aren't bad.
Shes really nice.. Studied my butt off but never got higher than an 80. Her test are complicated. If you do modules and study, you can pass with a C or better
Good professor if you study and pay attention in class. I wish I went for her office hours. I passed her class with a C by studying my butt off. Her class is fun if you study. She's great if you put in the effort. If you are lazy and just want an easy grade, you won't find it here.
She is a nice lady, but her teaching tactics aren't that good. She is somewhat confusing and her tests are so-so. Btw, it is IMPERATIVE that you study and know your material. If needed, go to the natural science lab in the computer courtyard, the tutors there are VERY helpful!
It's a tough class, but Dr. Johann is awesome! She's got a great sarcastic sense of humor. She is helpful and if you're willing to put in some effort, she is definately willing to teach. She has more office hours than any other professor I've ever had. Her tests are straight forward...if you can do the homework, you will do well on the tests.
awesome teacher... but chm is still pretty tough... if you're NOT having issues with the hw then u'll do ok on the tests, but i still recommend some tutoring before each just in case
AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! NEED I SAY MORE?!? SHE IS THE WORST TEACHER I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED WITH THE WORST ATTITUDE. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DONT TAKE HER!
She is great I learn a lot with her take her she is amazing and very nice.I love her class.thanks Miss professor Eileen Johann.
Dr. Johann is a good teacher but so hard that its not worth taking her. I had to drop the class because of how hard the test were. I dont really recommend her sorry.
Very clear.. Extremely helpful has lots of office hours.. Reviews for the test in detail.. Very nice lady.. Play with her hair alot !! But she is a great teacher.. You must study though it is CHEMISTRY
I took 1046 with her. She is hot, in a smart way. She literally knows her stuff, and will blow you up of you are just a laid back lazy student. Got an A easy just do the work
Super easy. I got an A and all I did was do the homeworks in her book. I barely showed up to class and fell asleep when I did. She give different color test but most of the questions are the same just in different order. DO THE HOMEWORK! Impossible not to get an A if you understand it
To start off, your book will be your only form of learning. Her lectures include of examples and no lesson. If you plan to pass, do not take her. She is a mess, she skips around in lectures and even skips some. Having little or basic information on chemistry means you cannot have her as a teacher. Im sill suffering trying to pass.
if people dont pass her class is because they dont do anything in order to pass. it is easy and she explains very nicely in a way that everybody can understand...she is nice and her test are about everything in the book...very motivating and intelligent person.
DR. JOHANN IS A NICE LADY AND SHE KNOWS HER STUFF. SHE IS A NO NONSENSE PERSON AND EXPECTS YOU TO COME TO CLASS TO LEARN. SHE PLAYS WITH HER HAIR ALOT AND IS ALWAYS HAVING COMPUTER TROUBLE. I HEARD ALOT ABOUT HER PRIOR TO TAKING HER CLASS AND HER REVIEWS WERE NOT GOOD. I FIND HER CLASS INTERESTING AND WANTING TO LEARN. SHE TALKS TO FAST ONLY FLAW..
ok let me start off by i never write one of these but i am taking my time to save you, MARTA PAPPAS all the way, do not take this lady she is the devil in disguise. Im still taking her i got an A my first test & i dont know what i got in my midterm but her first test is modules 1-5, midterm 1-8, 9-12, and i heard the final is accumulative.
She is a great professor. She explains EVERYTHING and the test are similar to the HW. If you don't understand during lecture, see her during her office hours and she'll be more than happy to explain again. I have Zero prior knowledge in chem and so far I have a B.
She made the class so easy... If you want an easy A, take the class with this lady!
She is a great professor! Everyone should take her. Shes always available for office hours! Shes very helpful!!! I passed with A chemistry is hard only if you dont study! Hard work pays off in the end! Be willing to study alot. Especislly if your bio or chem major. Good luck! And take her!!!
It's crystal clear to me that Dr. Johann knows what she's talking about, but I dislike her method of teaching. I think she focuses on tricks and acronyms way too much and neglects the logic/reasoning behind concepts. The exams are very doable, but it's only due to me learning it by myself or from other sources. I regret taking the course with her.
SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) LOVE HER
If you study you will pass. Simple as that, professor Johann is an amazing chemistry teacher she really knows what shes talking about and knows how to explain it so that everyone can understand. Shes not the sweetest but you're not taking her class to be friends. She also gives an extra credit opportunity which comes in handy at the end.
She knows her stuff. One module per week (16 modules). Do ALL assignments if you want extra credit. 4 exams. Optional final exam. Goes kinda quick but its easy to understand. Study study study! Chem isnt my strongest sub but i passed with an A! Take her. Shes good.
She is a great professor. She really knows her stuff and can teach it well. She will go over everything again and again until everyone understands. She is always helpful during office hours and before/after class. This is a difficult class and not everyone, even if you study, can pass. You have to put a lot of time and effort but it's doable.
Worst professor ever! She is sarcastic and expects you to know "the basics" when this is an introductory course. I studied my butt off and managed to get an A on test 1, but that's only because I got outside help. When you ask her a question she purposely ignores you. At times she makes you feel stupid. This lady needs to focus more time in lecturing better instead of playing either hair! One positive thing is that she gives extra credit. Her exams are a bit tricky. Avoid this professor!!!
Horrible! She makes chemistry seem so complicated and her teaching style is boring. She uses the over head projector to write notes and sometimes her notes get messy and it's hard to follow. If a student asks a question, she answers back with sarcasm!! Overall, she's boring..there are better chemistry professors at MDC. She's not one of them.
This teacher is not that great. She cares and seems like she wants her students to pass. But when it comes time and you ask her for help she kind of just shrugs you off and makes you feel stupid. She knows her stuff, but does not teach it thoroughly. If you can get another teacher, I would suggest it.
Chemistry itself is a very tedious subject, dont listen to the negative comments, take this teacher she knows exactly what she is talking about. yes she is sarcastic but she will explain it untill it is drilled in your head! as long as you study and never miss a class you will be fine. i strongly recommend the chm tutoring lab, Marlon, is great!
Don't mess with the Johann. You have to do the HW to keep up with her prior to going to her class. She's a good teacher though, Chemistry just sucks. She gives a HUGE Extra cresit opportunity which boosts you up a letter grade! I recommend.
One of the most sarcastic people Ive ever encountered. She knows her stuff but is kind of "all over the place". Hope you dont have any questions because if you do, count on her making you feel stupid, and expect sarcasim to be part of her response.I received an A in this course, only cause i studied A LOT. If you can pick another teacher, DO IT!
I don't know why these ratings are so negative. She's a great professor. Her lectures can be boring but she explains well. Do all the work when you get home! Or else you'll forget! Overall if you take her you'll like her.
she's a dedicated teacher, teaches the subject very well. kind of mean but only because she knows it all -.- read the chapter before class & you'll do fine. her test are vry easy & based off the study guides. assignments in the textbook help A LOT. practice, practice practice.
THE BEST TEACHER EVERRRRR!!! I HATED CHEMISTRY BUT BECAUSE OF HER I LOVE IT! WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS TO STUDY. READ AND STUDY BEFORE EVERY CLASS IF POSSIBLE, IF NOT DO AS I DID, STUDY 2 OR 3 HOURS AFTER EACH CLASS AND YOU WILL PASS WITH AN A. SCHOOL IS FOR THAT TO STUDY NOT TO NOT DO ANYTHING AND EXPECT TO GET A's.
OH AND USE HER WEBSITE TO STUDY. SHE HAS ASSIGNMENTS THERE THAT ARE VERY USEFUL AND HELP YOU A LOT,AS WELL AS THE ONES IN EVERY MODULE. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
She's very nice. Listen to her in class and do the assignments (you get extra credit for doing them) and you will pass all the tests which are easy and multiple choice.
