Took it as a summer class and i totally regret it. This guy is so unreliable it isn't even funny!He doesn't show up for three days then gives us a midterm and a final in the same week. Stay as far away from him and Dr. Edhu as possible!!!! Far Away!

Terrible! Stay away from him. Has a dry sense of humor & he thinks he's hysterical. I was out for a test bc I was in a car accident & I wasn't allowed to make it up after being in the hospital. VERY unreasonable. Gives 3000 wrd paper & 10 min presen.

horrible!!! he missed half of the scheduled classes. doesnt know how to grade. i argued with him to bring my grade up because i know i deserved it...but he doesnt want to listen...DONT TAKE THIS CLASS some people should not be teachin!!!

he sucks

i have known drug addicts that have been more fun to be around...he is a bore..comes to class unpreparred all the time...didnt show up for a test one day...the man is bad ...johnny cool breeze with his five dollar loafers he is not...

worst class i ever took. worst professor on campus.

This professor isnt the best. He knows his subject but he doesnt know how to teach it. His assignments are confusing and he doesnt make them clear. He grades really weird and he doesnt explain his grade system. He really doesnt explain anything. P.S. he tries to be funny but you just want to laugh at him LOL Dont take this professor!!!

he is a bad teacher. he is sooooooo boring. he do not know how to teach the work. he knows the work dont get me wrong. he is just ass

Horrible professor. Lectures are useless and unhelpful. He gives NO feedback on the course project. Asking a question will result in a 10-minute answer that doesn't even answer the question. Tests are comprised of basically opinion questions, and you'll most likely get points off even if you answered the question correctly. Good luck. =/

horrible professor. hard to understand and doesnt answer the question you asked. Answers everything else in the world but not the question.

The worst professor I've ever had and the worst class I've ever taken in either College or High School. Takes advantage of the fact that hes the only professor who teaches the class. The material is incredibly boring. He makes you depend on other classmates for your grade. Talks in a monotonous voice somewhere between a robot and a pirate.

before entering his class i read all these comments and wanted to give him a true try.. however these comments are real.. he is HORRIBLE .. take this class at a diff school or in the summer for your own SANITY .. he is the worst teacher ever!

Honestly, find another professor who teaches this course. This guy is hard to understand with his accent, his voice is annoying, and when you answer his questions even if the answer is correct he'll still find a way to make yo u look/sound stupid. Do not waste your money on the textbook either, we never used it AT ALL.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. i took this class and i totally totally regret it. as far as i know not one person in my class passed. he doesnt answer questions, and when you ask one he looks at you like ur dumb and then ignores you. DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT take this class

Quite possobly the worst teacher I've ever had. The class is manditory and he seems to realize that nobody in the class wants to be there, and neither does he. Don't bother asking him questions because he won't answer them. The class isn't hard but his uselessness makes it hard. Bottom line: DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER

I set up an appointment with him and he blew it off then i failed the test. If you even make a MILD suggestion he gives you an obnoxious look with his face. Hubert, are you two years old? Oh, sorry, stupid question. <- And that is what you told me if everything we went over was on the midterm and you were wrong.

Do yourself a favor, listen to everyone else, and DO NOT TAKE HIM. The tests are impossible and he wonders why everyone fails. Binary was on the test. Why do we need to know binary?? 11 people showed up for the final because we've lost respect for him. Never, ever take him. Trust me. He knows his stuff, he just doesn't know how to teach it. At all.

This class was the bane of my existence for an entire semester. If you ask him a question he looks at you like you are an idiot. He is not a bad guy, and he is very intelligent but he can not teach. I am very curious as to why he chose teaching as his profession, as he has no aptitude for it.

AWFUL. I never understand what he's talking about, he doesn't help you AT ALL. my friends are taking this class with different professors and it's so easy. My friend is an engineering major and has no idea what any of this stuff is. stay away. Oh and don't ask questions because he makes you feel so stupid or yells at you.

Don't take this class!! He is extremely unclear with assignments, labs, and syllabus. He does not hand back homework or labs so your left guessing your grade and don't bother asking him for help because he will embarrass you in front of everyone. Don't even bother buying the book for that stupid access code because he posts 1 assignment for the entire semester and he could just use BB for it. My time and $ and patience and GPA will soon have been wasted on this horrible professor.

This guy is a complete utter loser. You can not ask him for help because he will not help you. By far the WORST professor i have had so far. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!

AVOID HIS CLASS! He has a bad attitude, gets mad when you ask questions. Syllabus is unclear, the book was a waste of money. Test are really hard-studying doesn't help, labs are vague, gives assignments back late. Won't tell you your progress in the class. NO direction on the final project. Overall terrible prof and boring class!! BEWARE!!

Class is impossible I failed everything he doesnt reply to emails or show up to his office hours Im praying I don fail by the end of the semester

What is computer science... I still could not tell you! Man is knowledgeable but cant teach he is not a teacher! For a Gen Ed class you would think you enrolled in an honors class... Labs are a joke he takes off for complete stupid bs and the directions... they are a joke like his class. If you have to take good luck... Youtube will be your bff

If you would like to be ridiculed and laughed at then go to this class. This guy should not be teaching. He will not answer any questions and he is just plain mean. I would go early to get help and he wouldn't even come help me. He is not clear and mocks the students.

I'm currently taking this class now, and I'm lost. He can't teach well never really tells you when something is posted so he EXPECTS you to assume when things are due. I haven't dropped a class yet but I'm honestly considering dropping this one. AVOID HIS CLASS & SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Absolutely terrible, I'm just praying I don't fail. He doesn't respond to emails, mocks and laughs at questions, expects you to know everything, CHECK BLACKBOARD FREQUENTLY, he doesn't grade things quickly or adhere to the syllabus. I don't like computers, and he just made it even worse. Avoid his course if you can!

Please avoid this guy at all cost. I am so scare i might fail even though i did all my work and did okay on the test. His unclear, do not answer emails. When you ask him a question he gave you a lecture. AVOID HIM, please do not take this guy. I might pass, but i am still scare. Please DO NOT take him.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE PERSON. DO. NOT. TAKE.

I have a 3.5 GPA and took this class a few semesters ago... I could not understand one word this man says.i had no idea that things were due and half the class had 3-4 missing assignments... I withdrew from the class and took it the following semester and got an A with an actual Teacher. COMMON MSU!

Dr. Johnson is not a very good teacher. Currently in his lecture part of CMPT-109 and writing this. He is very confusing and you can't talk to him about any problems that you have with the class. If you are really good with computers you will be ok but if you are the typical person you might have trouble since the teacher is nonexistent

Had class in Spring and failed! He is difficult to understand and isn't clear on what he wants. Also he is not helpful in any way. This is a 100 level class and yet felt like a 400 level class. Work is tedious and highly difficult unless you're a hacker. I have to take the class again but not with him! AVOID THIS PROFESSOR! Don't buy book!

My biggest complaint about Dr. Johnson is that he's unclear with what he actually wants his students to do. One day he'll say that we have to do something, but then a week later he'll forget about it and say we were supposed to do something else. You have to just go with the flow to be honest. He means well but the class is completely disorganized.

Never clear on what he wants in terms of assignments and group projects. Awful explanation of concepts, at times seems like he doesn't know what he is talking about. Hard to communicate with. Would take another professor if there would be one available but unfortunately this guy has the market cornered.

Very poor quality. Very rude and inappropriate at times. Very unprofessional. Avoid like plague.

Can't explain even a single concept clearly. Poor articulation. Better learn software engineering on your own than with this guy.

He is the only Software Engineering Prof at MSU, thus there is noway to avoid taking him. Study on your Own because you will learn nothing during his lecture. Midterm and Final are ridiculously hard and the grading is awful. Multiple choice questions but he will give 5 options and always you have(Non of the Above).Hope for a curve so you can pass

The main issue with this professor is that he doesn't have clear grading criteria. He doesn't give back grades and he pulls it out of a hat at the end of the semester. I got a B so I'm not complaining too much. But this guy is boring, doesn't explain things clearly, and it's just a waste of time. Good luck future Computer Science majors.

WOULD NEVER TAKE HIM AGAIN.. He barely speaks English, posts assignments and you don't even know what he talks about. He never responds to emails. He never is there to help you. awful teacher

DO NOT TAKE! Horrible professor! He is so disorganized and unclear and does not reply to emails at all! He is a tough grader and will give you a 0 even if you actually submit on time with effort put into the work. His tests are so unnecessarily hard! Must go to office hours to get your grade bumped up. Don't ask question because he is very rude!

Very disorganized and unprofessional. He has a strong accent and does not explain things clearly. Everyone in the class was always confused. He gave several people 0 on assignments that were done correctly. The only way to get him to recheck your work is by going to his office and forcing him to. Also, he does not answer back emails. Don't buy book!

Takes confusing / similar sounding topics and tries to quiz students to see if they're paying attention (e.g. Verification v Validation). Completely confuses students. Project involves obtuse expectations which will be met with harsh feedback. Expectations could not be less clear. Curves strongly to ward off criticism (or from apathy).

Disorganized and very hard to pay attention to during lectures! Has a deep voice and laughs at his own jokes randomly. "Ha ha". Yeah that's what he says. Pulls out your overall final grade out of a hat type of professor. Does not upload assignments on canvas and you won't know you you are doing in class!! Please do not take him!

Nearly every class is the same: Show up, sit down, listen, leave. Majority of the time he's explaining the concepts of Java and is very monotone at doing so. He doesn't teach it by giving you an exercise to do it in class, its more of an online course in that you're doing mainly Zybooks to learn Java. There was 1 class where we did exercises.

Professor Johnson is an absolutely horrible professor for this course. He doesnt know how to explain himself in ways that students would understand. As it is an introductory class for CS majors, he will confuse you with words and phrases that he assumes you should know.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! I did not learn one thing all semester and he was not welcoming to help with anything. this class was required for my major and If you have the option, do not take his class.

He was the worst professor I have had at this school so far because he does not explain himself in what he is teaching. I had no idea what was going on the whole time I was there. I highly encourage you to not take his class if you can help it since you too will be lost as well. He says you can ask questions but then makes you feel bad when you do.

Prof. Johnson is a professor that tries too hard to be funny. He doesn't post any grades until the very end and it is frustrating to sit through his monotone voice. The only thing that helped me pass was Zybooks, which taught me more than his classes ever did. I tried asking him for help downloading Java and he was confused on how to do it. Never!

EXTREMELY inappropriate at times and has made sexist/gender discriminatory remarks without even realizing it. Also doesn't teach and is an overall disaster as a professor, but that's fairly standard in the CS department...

The PowerPoint he's using is from the 90s, seriously. No clear grading criteria, and you can smell the body odor every time he gets near you.

easily the worst person I've ever encountered at college. Rude and can't teach. Retaking the class this semester with a real professor

Had the guy for 1 week. Then he got replaced by another professor. The insane difference in quality from him to our new one really lets you know that this guy is complete trash. Drop him if you get him.

Please If you see this man in your schedule please drop the class I don't care if its a requirement drop it.

This guy became our professor after the second week of class. His lectures are very long due to the fact that his voice and tone, in general, puts you to sleep. The mid-term exam only had about five questions that actually related to the study guide that was given, which is no surprise due to the fact that he loses track of what he's taught to us.

He is a horrible person as well as professor. Doesn't know how to teach and even if no one knows what is going on will continue to the next lesson.

One of the worst professors I've ever taken. He does not know how to teach. All he does is read off the slides. His voice is extremely monotone. Does a horrible job at explaining something. When you ask for help, at times he will mock you for it. The whole class dislikes him. He has a very weird laugh and makes cringy jokes. All in all, I rate 1/10

I'm a senior & took Java as an elective. I've had some bad professors before but never before did I really feel like I was robbed of my tuition money & my time. Meanwhile this guy gets paid to make fun of students students & actively refuse to teach even when asked a direct question. A 12 year old could do a better job and be more professional tbh

This is the absolute worst Professor I have ever had in my entire life. He is always late to post grades online via canvas. In fact, my class ended last fall and I still dont know what I got on the final and a handful of assignments. His lectures consist of him reading each PowerPoint slide word from word. Do NOT take this Professor.

If you do not have programming experience and you are taking java DO NOT take this professor. He just speaks off of the slides and does not explain the material well at all. He barely posts grades we took 3 exams and had 7 assignments and he only posted 1 test and 3 assignment grades... literally the worst!

First off, this professor's grading criteria is NOT clear and straightforward as he claims. His classes are lecture heavy, no content at all, and we had to stay an extra 40 minutes in class because his instructions for the group projects were so unclear, he had to grade them on the spot. Never again. Avoid this professor.

Hubert is a bad teacher but an ever worse person . Mocks and belittles students and forces them to inflate his ego. I missed at least 4 classes because I was so uncomfortable being in his presence. The fact that MSU has done nothing about all this despite 15 years of reviews on here is appalling. this guy is downright sinister

He is a computer teacher but struggles with technology ironically. Takes forever to grade and gives assignments with out saying anything over weekends. Do not take his class.

Dr. Johnson is a disaster. This is a 100 lever gen ed course, and he expects all students to know his lingo. Now that we're online bc of COVID, he is even worse. He doesn't grade assignments, answer emails, and gives us a 2 day warning of a paper. Likewise, he tells us assignments are due T, but locks them on canvas Sat. Don't take him.

I have never had a stronger dislike for a professor more than I do for him. He loves to put his students on the spot and ask questions about stuff we haven't learned yet, then will get annoyed when they do not know the answer. Just now he put in an assignment that none of my peers knew about and gave me a 15/100, which lowered my grade drastically.

Refuses to answer emails, dodges questions during his droning lectures, constantly assigns things and either unfairly grades, or forgets to grade at all. gets mad when you ask him about it. Made us buy a $200 textbook and never graded us for the assignments. Hes condescending and rude. Waste of money and time. Im shocked he hasnt been fired.

Avoid at all costs. Writing this during Fall semester of covid (all online). He had no idea what he was doing, entire class was confused constantly. We had little to no direction for an entire project while he drags on through his lectures which seemed to not be clear the point of them either. I'd be surprised if anything learned anything from him

Doesn't know how to work a computer. He literally will not answer your emails NEVER, your lucky if he ever answers. He doesn't know how to teach horrible teacher. Just reads off of slides, he will call on the same people to answer questions. He doesn't teach you how to use the programming softwares. If you ask a question he will not answer it. BAD!

This guy has to be the worst professor I have ever had. When you ask a question he laughs at it, and then barely explains it. He doesn't respond to emails or if he does its a few days later/weeks. One time I emailed him about something important and he responded with something completely different. He puts grades in until the last minute as well.

this guy is straight up horrible, didn't learn a thing never got my grades, he should be fired.

I genuinely don't understand why Professor Johnson is allowed to continue teaching at this institution. ANY time I emailed him (as there were no office hours), he'd take on average 1-3 weeks to respond. His assignments were extremely vague as to their expectations and his exams non-representative of the course material. Terrible. DO NOT TAKE.

If you have the misfortune to be given Dr. Johnson for an online class - DROP IT IMMEDIATELY. This was supposed to be an asynchronous class... with random due date times for assignments, a continually lack of communication on the Professors end (3-6 days for every email response, in a 3 week class) and the assignment prompts were unintelligible.

This professor was honestly not the best. He sometimes didn't seem like he knew what he was doing. He also expected us to remember everything from python and he never graded things on time so we were left with us assuming as to what our grade was. He literally spent an extra month after the semester ended grading our final

you cant contact him outside of class at all

This professor the goat ong. bro highlighted the answers for us for both midterm and final exam. you wont understand a single thing from his lecture, till this day i dont know what a variable is. but thank you hubert for highlighting the exams for us you the goat ong.

For a gen ed class, Johnson treats like everyone is some programming wiz. He always assigns work without any warning, the quizzes and test are worth 70% of the grade and has material he never goes over. And if you needs help, he never answers emails. That is not what a professor should do for students. PLEASE AVOID HIM TO SAVE YOUR GRADE AND SANITY

Honestly, if you're new to java programming don't take this class. He'll talk abt data types, variables, objects, and classes etc but never how to construct the body within a class. You'll think you understand something until he randomly assigns a project or gives out a pop quiz. Also, you'll never know where you stand in the class; late grader.

This guy is hands down the worst teacher in the CS Department. This course was a massive waste of my time. He doesn't teach "software engineering" (I actually started work as a software engineer after I got out of Montclair). He doesn't respond to emails, and doesn't care about you. I think the only he hasn't been fired is because of his tenure.

Take my word for it and just avoid this guy. Drop the class right now if you were thinking of enrolling. Just do it.

Don't take him. He doesn't know how to explain and teach, just goes through slides like nothing.

I'm usually pretty understanding with professors, but Johnson was terrible on another level. Took months to grade assignments (would have to be asked multiple times for grades), would never respond to emails, and would give random quizzes. Midterm was a SCANTRON and he still took over a month to grade so you never know where you stood. DON'T TAKE.

Don't take him!! Avoid him at all cost if you can!!

He didn't grade anything until the semester ended. As a result, I didn't know he gave me a 0 on the midterm, even though I took it (and no I didn't cheat), until the semester ended. He also never responded to my emails asking him why he failed me. Now that F is stuck on my transcript. If there was a worst teacher award, he'd get a grammy.

Literally the WORST professor I have ever taken in my life. He is completely incapable of teaching. The slides are the most unorganized power points you will ever see. This professor is unhelpful, and doesn't care about the students. Lectures are a complete waste of time and he doesn't even know what he's talking about. SAVE YOURSELF. DON'T DO IT

If I had to choose between retaking his class or dropping out of college and joining the circus...

Disorganization: Professor Johnson relies solely on paper for organization, leading to a chaotic environment. His office is overflowing with papers, making it difficult for him to locate submitted assignments.

Hubert has to be one of the worst professors ive ever encountered. This guy says he's in his office from 6 am yet he never grades anything and never responds to emails. What is he doing all morning? He can't teach and laughs at you if you answer anything slightly wrong. When he does grade one thing, it's as if he pulled it out of a hat. Gotta pray!

The only thing I learned from this class was that anything in life is possible. If this man could go through the rigorous procedure of becoming a professor and succeeded through it then I can do anything in life. Incompetence and laziness are his main traits, the only way to succeed in his class is to hire a tutor or pray. Good Luck!

I've never met someone so incompetent and out of touch with his classroom until now. I read all these negative reviews thinking I could do it, and I can assure you. It's a gamble in this class, you don't know your grade for the entire semester and prayers are the only steps you can take towards your grade.

Probably the worst professor I've ever had the displeasure of taking. Exams were scantrons with false "correct" answers selected for grading, some questions had no right answer listed, and others were intentionally misleading. Had to track him down to correct them, and even then he didn't give back the points he promised to. Absolutely awful.

Horrible professor. You don't know where you stand all semester, he gave us quizes 2 months ago that still haven't been graded. You can't even follow the syllabus since he just makes up random assignments and quizes mid semester. One thing i can assure you is that you will have to get used to being laughed at, he will laugh at you at some point.

I haven't learned a thing in this class and the semester is almost over. I have been doing a project with a group I have no direction on. He doesn't teach, he just rambles all the time in class. I don't even have a grade in my class, I don't know how I'm doing. If I could provide screenshots I would. I haven't learned anything and I paid for this..

One of the horrible professor in CS department. There are two exams- mid term and final exam with one final group project. There is no clear idea how he grades finally. He never responds to any mails when you need help. Avoid him at all costs!

You did not know your grade all semester. Exams were completely random and have topics not talked about in class. Lazy professor, cannot teach. Possibly the worst professor of all time. Be prepared to be laughed at by him. If you didn't believe in God before this, you will start praying to him at the end of the semester. Good Luck

Prof Johnson did not hand out the online textbook until halfway through the semester. Then, he proceeded to assign the work that the class, as a collective, had missed due to his faults and have each of those assignments due within the next week. He is not accessible outside class and never truly at his office hours. Do not take for your sanity.

He starts grading assignments around Week 8. The only thing I learned from this class is how to avoid people in the long term, lol

Majority of the class is taught on Zybooks, which is insane considering I'm paying to be here. Teaching is not very efficient, midterm had lessons that he didn't even go through class. You practically have to teach yourself everything. He doesn't post grades asap. He is also slow and unenthusiastic while teaching.. not beginner friendly at all.

He makes us do everything on Zybooks and teaches the class in the weirdest way. Each one of his lectures are filled with slides of code, he asks you to type the code in and then it ends up being incorrect. Mid term had a bunch of stuff we didn't learn in class and on top of that he does not know how to use canvas.

Didn't show us how to use zybooks, basically only graded on zybooks, which is solely done out of class. Lectures are chaotic with unclear slides. The midterm was difficult with no real prep. Will laugh at you if you ask a question in class. Do not take him as a professor.

The worst professor I've had the displeasure of having. I wouldn't wish his class on my worst enemy, please don't take him anyone else would be better.
