unless you have a good relarionship with her you are not going nowhere in her class. she talks as if you already should have this and she gets angry when you didn't do the project right. ahe also made a girl cry. that was my experience in her class. but she can be nice at times but not approachable
Great teacher, very helpful and articulate. Challenges students without denying them the opputunity for sucess. One of my favorite teachers.
very easy to follow in class. tough but fair. Great reviews.
had her for two classes so far. will continue with her as long as possible. quick but clear lectures. reviews are great.
WAYYYY too fast. She talks and writes so fast that you can not keep up with her. I've had to re-teach myself everything from the book because I cannot keep up with her. She has a bad attitude and will go on a yelling rampage for no reason. Also very slow on getting graded work back.
Horrible teacher! She was a worthless jerk! Johnson did not care about her students one bit. She was extremely late handing tests back, like almost a month late. She would hand out reviews for points but would never go over them with us, so we had no idea if we were doing the material correctly or not! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS TEACHER!
GREAT TEACHER!!!! Easy to follow and understand. I can't ever understand math but she explained it so I could understand. If you do her review sheet for the test, that is what her test are bassed off.
She is a great teacher. She provided clear notes, and did all she could to have it make sense. Her goal was NOT to trick us or make it difficult, it was to help us learn adequately so we could proceed to the next class. I'm terrified of math & she was a great teacher to have to help me get through the class.
Difficult.Talks and writes fast, doesnt give an opportunity to finish coppying notes on board b4 she moves on.VERY harsh grader.Reviews are similar to tests, which helps a bit.She teaches the book HER way, jumbles sections, and even makes up own her own rules to book; this makes book wirtually useless and math lab cannot even help 1/2 the time!
I suck at Math and she makes it easier to understand! :)
I like this Mrs. Johnson, she is very nice and easy to understand. Her class is to easy though I wish it was harder. I also wish that we would have gone a lot quicker through the sections of the book. But she is an over all great teacher.
Love this teacher she is the best. She is always helpful. I take her wed night class 3 hours one day a week. I hate math but she makes it fun and easy. She is a very fiar teacher
understanding teacher, cares very helpful though stern when needed...one to pick if you want to learn the class...
She is all over the place and totally unorganized. Extremely hard to learn from her as she doesn't explain things well nor does she show how things are related. Always picks the trick questions that do not fit the norms. Ridiculously harsh grader. Takes everything from class only for tests. Get a diff teacher if possible is my advice, wish I had!
Large drop rate as she does get angry if you don't understand something and she goes way too fast. I wish I had been able to look on here before picking her class. Now I am doubly freaked out by Math. Worst teacher I have ever had at this college.
She was awesome! I do NOT understand Math but she made it very easy to understand. She was very nice and helpful. I highly recommend taking Math classes from Mrs. Johnson!
I took her class online and it was my 3rd time taking math 110 and I finally passed. There's minimal homework, but all test have to be taken on campus. It requires a lot of self studying, but the test are only 25 questions long. She uses powerpoint presentations as lectures and they're actually extremely helpful.
Class is online, didnt buy the book and i got an A using the Powerpoints as notes. She is very helpful and wants you to do well. Dont get behind and you will do fine.
With hawks this class is awesome and Jenifer can explain things in a flash. I took her for all my math classes and would gladly take her again.
didn't like her at all! i took her online class and everytime i send her an email about anything she will take forever to respond to the email and whenever her respons was useless!
Beware! She is a tough grader! Her tests were difficult; if you have a hard time with math you might want to take a different instructor. She would get mad if you asked questions or requested further explainations during lecture.
I would not recommend taking this instructor online. I just relied on the software to teach, but she doesn't seem to know what we're being taught on the software..On projects, we were counted off because the software taught us differently. Someone pointed it out, and it was fixed. Test questions don't seem to follow the material learned on Hawks.
I took this course online during the summer, and it was by far the easiest math class. Ms johnson is very clear on how she wants things, and has a very easy structure. I bought a book and didn't use it once, b/c of the learning CD used for homework has instructions on how to do the problems. 25% of your grade is the final, and 50% is homework.
Do Not Take Online. She requires you to purchase textbook new and you DO NOT even use it. She outsources her teaching responsibilities to computer software. Her online schedule is ridiculous and gives you no flexibility because things are due every day instead of letting you decide when to do them through the week. Worst class I have taken online.
I loved this class! The instruction is pretty much all from the CD. She emails back quickly if you have any questions. Seriously, this is the best I've ever done in a math class! I was worried about taking my math class online at first, but all of the assignments seem to be properly spaced. I also like that your grade isn't just off the tests.
All I can say is take regular calculus. It is way easier and you do not have to use this god awful program.
I worked hard for my A grade. It was easy in the beginning of the course but then it increasingly got harder. There were times of frustration where I didn't get the concepts but since it was only taught by the software, I kind of needed supplemental material to teach me too. Just be prepared to work hard for a high grade.
Very good instructor! Tough on you, but respects you and expects you to work! High level class prepared me to go on!
Very challenging class, but very good professor! I would recommend her to anyone wanting to really learn the material!!
Ok, taking Stats online through this instructor leaves you to teach yourself through the online Hawkes learning system. Sending questions with screen shots to clearly explain what you are confused about or need help with will get you a reply that is in no way helpful. It almost seems like she doesn't know the material.
Very difficult class, mostly because it is online, but she does a great job with the material and helping you! Very quick to reply to emails and is always polite and professional.
I took the class on campus but all the work was online. Therefore the homework problems were randomized and I couldn't ask a friend about a specific problem if I needed help. This also goes with saying the homework questions did not match the test at all. She doesn't give out study guides or anything before the test which doesnt help at all.
Great teacher, but terrible grader. Extremely harsh on tests. All homework is done online, so if it's not typed EXACTLY correct you'll miss the whole problem.
Never get laid back in class. Its so easy to get behind because she moves so quickly.
Tough class but expected. Great instruction and help. Would take for more classes if she taught them!
Great teacher and nice person! Would take again if she was teaching classes I needed. Expect to work, but it is college
"ONLINE" Big mistake taking this online. Huge amounts of homework. Homework doesn't really follow quizzes, and quizzes don't really follow tests on Math Connect. FOR YOUR SAKE STUDY PRACTICE QUESTIONS ,IN RESOURCE TAB, OVER AND OVER TO PASS TESTS AND QUIZZES. Not the teachers fault I got a bad grade but they need to remove this from an online class
Johnson is a harsh grader, expect plenty of homework (mymathlab) and quizzes. I would advise if you receive a C or below on the first two test then drop the class. If you slack off on one test you will regret it. Take every single point you can. I had a C through the whole year and I studied my butt to pass my final. *trig & algebra skills needed!
Class is very difficult but there are plenty or resources available. She is very fast with message replies!
Very quick replies to messages and questions. Respectful and kind.
This class is VERY difficult, probably because it is online. She is very fast at replies and answers all your questions. She even hand writes things out and sends you the file that includes the solved problem with every step explained. Be ready to work but don't be afraid of her or to ask questions!
I expected this to be a tough class, fast paced mix of college algebra and trig in one semester. I took this to get to Calculus faster and I feel very prepared and ready to move on. She is very clear and gives different perspectives making it great for different people.
I feel ready for calculus and beyond!!
Tough class but what should you expect for a 5 credit hour precalculus class!!
Honestly, I do not say this lightly at all: she is the worst professor I have ever had. She rarely helps if asked, she creates no study outline, and blows you off when you ask whats going to be on the tests. There is so much more I could add. Just for the sake of your college career avoid her at all costs.
Ridiculous grader, the class structure is ridiculously stupid. You never know exactly what is going to be on the be on the test.
Very tough grader, taking a lower level math class, the online program is ridiculous. There is no study guide, she states to go over the lesson videos, yet for each unit there is literally 65+ videos. Nothing is compact and accessible. Not a horrible teacher, just the class structure needs some serious work.
Do not take pre-calc with Johnson if you don't have a solid understanding of trig and algebra. You're expected to know the basics and will not review before going into new material. Harsh grader and doesn't offer much help when you go to her with questions. I'd strongly advise not taking Johnson unless you are very confident in your math skills.
I read some other reveiws and am very confused. This is supposed to prepare you for calculus so the rigor and high standards should be expected. The class is fast paced because you are cramming college algebra and trig into one 5 credit hour class. I feel prepared for calculus and my friends who had her in the past succeeded in calculus. GREAT!!
For an online class, it was fine. She is very quick in responding to messages and always helped when asked. The online program is so-so, but you don't have a choice in an online class to not have online material. I wish she was teaching the next classes I need online!
Took the online class: felt like a huge mistake. The quizzes that we were supposed to use seriously leave out around a 1/3rd of what is actually on the test. ConnectMath isn't very user-friendly, and while the math wasn't very difficult, it was near impossible to study for because the tests were considerably different from the review quizzes.
Took it online, it wasn't too bad; easy actually. I found ConnectMath to be helpful. Only thing I disliked were the discussions, they were pointless, and it did not help for learning. Apart from another review, questions that were on quizzes, were actually the same questions on tests, just different numbers.
Very tough class, very good instructor. She was always ready and willing to help, visit her office if you need anything! I feel prepared for calculus and learned a lot of trig. Take her!!
She is very serious and LOVES teaching math, you can hear in her voice and her crazy math shirts. Don't expect an easy class, but she prepares you for this class and beyond. I highly recommend her!
She is very clear about what is expected. Shows she cares when answering questions and helping during student working times. The class is difficult but she makes it easy and enjoyable to learn. I wish she was teaching the calculus series.
This is a tough class but she made it great! VERY fast in replies to questions and gives a lot of partial credit on online tests. Do the work and you will get an A!!
A lot of work, but it is an online class, so it was expected. She answers questions quickly and even attaches pictures to help. The discussions are strange, but every online class has them so just do it! Plenty of time to get everything done and succeed. The due dates are given the first day and NEVER change so you always know what to do when.
It is a tough class. It's math so if you don't show up you miss a lot. She rounds up if you are on the verge of a higher grade (the final grade if that's not clear). She hardly ever gives out a study guide. Also, on the last day of class she gives out cupcakes which are pretty good.
The best math teacher I've taken. Was very active within the class and answered all questions I had about problems that confused me. Was nice enough to work out problems I posted and gave thorough instruction on how a problem was worked out step by step and the reasons why. Wish I could take her for Math 110 and 120 since she made learning easy.
Took her math 120 class during Fall 2017. Shes a very tough teacher. Her exams are tough as well as her quizzes. Many students dropped out of her class after the first exam which didnt really shock me. If youre not good in math then I wouldnt recommend her. Trust me. I worked very hard in and out of this class and barely passed with a C...
This is a tough class but she makes it great. Knows her stuff and teaches it well. There is either a quiz or a test every week but you are prepared. I wish she was teaching calculus!!
This is an online class so I expected a lot of work. She is extremely quick in replying to messages and questions. She makes the grade received very clear. If you keep up you should get at least a B! I recommend her over others!
This is a tough class, but what do you expect for a 5 credit hour Precalculus class!! She explains things very clearly and is always willing to answer questions, in class and in her office. Be prepared to work for it but a high grade is very possible! Take her, you will be ready for Calculus!!!
This online class is AWESOME! She is always available for help and questions. I highly recommend taking her for this class or any others!!
The class was okay in general. I had to teach myself the homework. Didn't really get any help from her. Definitely take this with someone else. Find someone who will take the time to help you.
Online class so a bit hard. She is quick with help and replies. You know from day one what to expect and what you need to do. For sure take her!!
Professor Johnson is an AWESOME online instructor! She is very quick with replies and help. She can meet if you need to as well. I would highly suggest taking her for any online class!
This class is hard (college algebra and trig all at once) but she is very caring and helpful. She will get you through if you put in the work.
Very responsive to questions through Blackboard and is quick to help with homework questions. I am not a math person, but I made it through with a good grade because of hard work and a great instructor!
This is by far the BEST online class I have every had. She replies to messages VERY quickly, 7 days a week! I took this class in an 8 week format and it was very well organized so easy to stay on top of everything. I HIGHLY recommend taking this class, or any class, from her!
Very tough teacher. You will have to work very hard to get a good grade in this class. The tests are heavily graded and the teacher does not seem passionate about the subject, but she does know her stuff. If you are not great in math, then don't take her class. There are other many better teachers out there. Also, make sure you have the textbook.
This is a hard class but she is a great professor. She knows and loves the material and the students can expect success if they put in the work. A 5 credit hour class takes a lot of hard work, but well worth it as I am for sure ready for calculus!
This class is a self paced computer class, and if you dont do work at home then you wont pass, so it mainly depends on you, but she gives good help when you need it.
This class is A LOT of work! I took this class last semester and did not learn anything but this semester I have learned so much and the online part is much better. Work ahead because it takes a while to get through each section but by the end you are prepared for quizzes and tests. She is very helpful, kind and quick in answering questions.
This class is very hard, and I may have to take it again, but it is not because of the professor. She answered all of my questions very quickly and was accessible every day. I could care she wanted me to succeed.
Calculus online is hard but Ms. Johnson is ALWAYS available to answer questions, and quick. I have never had a professor answer questions at all times of the day and night like her. There is a lot of homework extra credit, which really helps your grade! Take this class if you need it!!
I do not have much to say. Jennifer is a nice and amazing person but she is not the a good maths teacher. She knows the material but she can't communicate it properly.
So helpful, makes videos to help answer questions, replies 7 days a week and at all hours. Made this fast summer class doable.
25 plus hours of work per week, for a 3 hour class. That says it all.
DO NOT TAKE THIS ONLINE COURSE. DONT listen to these comments because they clearly want you to fail. This teacher is one of the worst teachers Ive ever had and you will learn nada in this class. save yourself and choose a teacher that knows what they are doing.
I earned an A in this class by trying the hardest I have EVER tried for a class. This a 3 credit hour class, yet I was spending 4 times as much time doing the assignments in this class than for my 5 credit hour astronomy class. The assignments are crazy long and you will spend at least 20+ hours doing a few assignments. DO NOT take her stats class.
Great support system in place and very active in the course. Always ready to help you!
I knew this class would be hard, and it was, but there was a lot of support from the online system (mymathlab) and the professor. She was very fast in her replies and was very easy to talk to and work with. I highly recommend this class with her.
Professor Jennifer is amazing. She is willing to help any day of the week, and at any time. I appreciate that as a busy career mom. Take her!
if you hate and want to punish yourself take this class if not you will end up hating yourself.
This teacher gave a lot of homework and it wasn't actually teaching you how to do stats but instead how to use a computer program. She also does discussion boards and grades more on grammar than content. Also, she did a midterm project that was worth a good chunk of your grade and graded more on grammar and design than content.
This professor sets up completely unrealistic expectations and will grade extremely tough with no reasoning or assistance provided. The ability to complete this class "online" is made particularly difficult due to the rules and you can expect to be handwriting and then scanning back in 15-30 note pages weekly. The workload is insane.
People on here are so bitter about their lack of ability and don't take accountability for themselves. If you are truly an adult and ready for college, you would love her. She is available any time I ask, is quick to help and willing to go the extra mile for her students. Take her, you won't regret it, unless you think you deserve an A for nothing.
