Easiest calss of my life! I really enjoyed brother Johnsons class, we only had little amounts of homework, and he gives you a study guide of exactly what will be on the test. He is really knowledgable and will help you with whatever you need! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recomend taking this class from him!

He is easy, just show up and read the textbook and do his study guide. Study for sure. If you do, you'll ace the test no problem. I fell asleep in basically every class, he kind of went off on tangents but they were interesting, I just didn't really care. He has you do a reading journal for every class, that's how I learned though. He's easy.

Chill teacher, he's a really smart guy. You take little quizzes with the I clicker at the end of the class about the discussion you just had. Easy points if you were paying attention! Classes are basically just discussions. Just do the work and you'll be fine! I surely endorse his teaching above any other science teacher for sure.

Bro. Johnson was a really easy teacher. He didn't want to scare students away from science especially because some church beliefs conflict with science in others' opinions, not mine (i.e. evolution). However, I learned WAY more in high school (even middle school) than I did in this class. This is college, I expected a little more.

Everyday reading journals and quizes. But not hard. He was a great teacher and did fun things in class. I liked his class and always helped us by having study guide classes to take before we would go take a test. It just sucked because I always had class when he scheduled the meeting times. Made me laugh and I learned lots! Take him!

His class was easy, my grades were good, no group work: everything I wanted. But I didn't learn anything in his class. I used his study guides and the textbook for the exams but his class was really unstructured. We would start with atoms and suddenly talk about something that came up but had nothing to do with atoms or was over our course level.

He would go off on tangent's a lot. Since you can't use calculators on exams he would take 20 mins showing you a shortcut to use instead of long-hand division. We never ended class early & he was very unclear about certain aspects of the physics world. Exams were also nothing like the study guide. I do like the way he's set up the schedule though.

If you want to learn anything don't take this teacher. His famous answer to almost any question is "I don't know" He is honest but it's not helpful to understand the material. He does daily journals that we have to have prepared before each class. His homework load isn't bad most of it though is busy work, and doesn't help understand the material.

There is a perusal preparation before every class that automatically grades you based of the thoughtfulness of your notes on the ebook. Other than that, just show up to class and use the study guide he provides to prepare for tests and you are basically guaranteed an A.

Brother Johnson is such a great professor. Literally loved his class. He is legit the mormon version of Ben Stiller. I loved his lectures and really enjoyed learning from him. He is absolutely hilarious and really cares about his students. He is very caring and honest and quite passionate about science. Super fun and easy.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TAKE YOUR CLASS FROM HIM. Brother Johnson is probably one of the greatest science teachers that I've ever taken. He's hilarious, he makes concepts that could be really boring super interesting, and his homework is light. The exams weren't hard, the lectures were hilarious and interesting, and the homework was light.

He is a really solid choice and he is really funny. He makes some of the most boring stuff like vectors entertaining and he tries really hard to be there for his students. My classmates, in general, were awkward and so at times the class was weird but he worked really hard to help us have a good time and enjoy physics.

Prof Johnson has been one of my favorite professors yet. I had him for science foundations and intro to robotics. These classes made fulfilling the science credit requirements fun and easy. The class wasn't so easy it was a joke, there was some studying to do and some projects, but overall it was very satisfying. Prof Johnson is fantastic.

Brother Johnson is so hilarious during his lectures. He's able to teach with any situation. We would use random situations to discuss the principles like snowball fights, unicorns jumping out of airplanes, Napoleon Dynamite getting hit in the face with steak, etc. He's so good at demonstrating and explaining in a way that anyone can understand

Honestly this class was my "easy" class this past semester, his lectures will go where the class wants to do, the tests are quite easy, and he gives alot of homework days. It's a little stressful near the end because he really sucks at grading/putting in grades, but he is such a fun person, and a great professor! I wish he taught more upper levels!

Bro Johnson is great. Very funny. He has videos that are usually for his online students that he makes available to all his students. Watch the cooresponding videos before class and you will almost never have to open the book. There are a few equations you will need from the book though. He grades a little slow.

Brother Johnson was an absolute delight to have as my Light and Sound teacher. He made the class a lot of fun and brought something more special and unique to the table. With COVID going on, he truly made the most of what he had and made sure everyone felt involved and understood what was going on. Overall the class the class very simple and easy.

He's super sweet and funny. He genuinely cares if the class is interested and engaged and tries hard not to be boring. He encourages you to share your questions and insights. Most of the material is learned through homework, while in-class time oftentimes becomes more of a discussion. He also explains concepts clearly to non-science majors.

Took his intro to robotics class. It's a group-work class, he's super caring and willing to do anything to help you out, even if it means closing his eyes to a broken robot sometimes :)

There's lots of reading, but I skimmed most of it. He is super engaging and willing to help. He does get distracted in class, but he made lecture videos that focus on the important stuff. No calculators on tests, but it is not bad if you know basic math. Demonstrations are awesome and labs help you understand what is going on in class.

The homework can be frustrating if you try it on your own, exams are extremely short but easy. I was frustrated with him because his lectures are practically useless/he gets distracted a ton, but then I found out he has AMAZING videos on canvas that tell you exactly what to know for exams, and he lets you use notes. After that, exams were easy.

Lots of homework

Brother Johnson is a really good teacher. He is so fun watch and ask question in his lectures for the first portion of the class, the physics portion. When we hit biology, it was more difficult to me and he did not enjoy talking about it as much either. There is a ton of content, I learned so much! I think that it's really worth taking.

He is super entertaining and I really enjoy his lectures! There is a bit of work and the assignments look big and scary, but they are actually quite simple and fairly easy. The subject is pretty difficult, but he explains it well and the tutoring center is really helpful. Really awesome guy.

I wouldn't take this class from anyone else. You will understand what I mean when you get your first exam back and you got partial credit on a multiple choice question that you got incorrect. He wants you to succeed and he wants you to show THINKING. That is what physics relies on anyway, thinking minds. Effortlessly fun and smart. 6/5 honestly
