He encourages students to be creative. His problem solving class is WAY easy at first, then gets tougher halfway in. Show %100 of your work or else you get marked down. Problems are usually a page write-up each, however, you ONLY have 5 a week! Keep up by doing 1 per weekday and u'll get an A or B!

There were a lot of HW assignments and quizzes. Two online exams and an in-person midterm and final. You must study extensively to do well on the quizzes and exams. If your goal is to move on to higher level math, take this course with Professor Johnson, since you'll leave fully understanding the material. People seeking easy A's stay away.

Not the easiest class but Prof. Johnson is a great teacher and his lectures are very clear. He wants all of his students to succeed and will help you understand anything if you ask. There are class group quizzes and there is an online test about every two weeks. Tests can be hard but if you do the online hw (mandatory), and study you should well.

If you are someone who struggles with Math, Professor Johnson is the one to take. He is compassionate and willing to help if you are pro active and seek his help. I would not have passed without his help.

Ken is an absolutely wonderful professor. He is very inspirational and is ALWAYS open to help people. He makes his office hours very well known, so that he can offer as much help as possible. He made our math class into a little community. He see's the potential in you to learn and grow and pushes you to be a better student. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

Math24 was not easy but Professor Johnson is a good teacher and will put in the effort if you meet him halfway. Readily prepares students for tests but you must show up, engage, and do the homework. Don't sit in the back, learning happens in the front row! The material is really interesting & relevant to personal finances so I enjoyed the class.

Love this teacher, even though I'm currently failing but it's all on me, he is a very good teacher. If you're struggling on a problem he is willing to help you if you need it. Lots of homework but just because its math we need all the practice we can get. Homework and quizzes are online and tests are in class.

There's nothing but good to say about Professor Johnson. Absolutely loved his class. He did the impossible. Make math fun! He gives extremely helpful feedback, and is always there and on your side to make sure you pass with a good grade. Class forms it's community and were all friends. Class is very difficult, but worth it in the end. Great prof.

Ken is amazing. Tries to be funny, which is hilarious to watch. Relates material to the real world. Always there for you when you have a question. My only gripe was he tends to run the class without discipline. I was often distracted by students chatting, which he does not mind, and will occasionally participate in. He is an awesome guy, and prof.

Professor Johnson makes every effort possible to help his students pass this course. Ive never had a teacher email to remind students to turn in homework and complete quizzes but it seems in this class, he had to. As long as you complete the homework, take the chapter quizzes, watch the lectures and complete the review testsyou will pass.

Professor Johnson is brilliant. I wish he taught more classes. Highly organized, funny, approachable, and will give you all the right tools to succeed. I find myself comparing my current teachers methods to his. I highly recommend! Going to class is imperative if you want an A but his teaching methods are fullproof as long as you put in the effort.

Took Ken Johnson for problem solving and although it was a tough class I absolutely loved it. There is a lot of work and you definitely have to do the homework to be able to pass. I missed maybe 5 classes throughout the semester and still got a B. The more you attend the better you'll do. I'm taking Johnson this semester for Math 12.

I took Math D as a student who hates math and avoided taking it until I absolutely had to. I am really glad I took it with Professor Johnson because he is a great professor. very intelligent and patient with students! Passionate about teaching and has evidently studied really bad math jokes and tries his best to be funny.

He was the best Math 24 teacher in SC. His lectures in class are very helpful, so DO NOT MISS CLASS! If you do, you will be lost. Take home exams are very challenging but it helps you learn to work together with other classmates. Take him if you are taking Math 24. He is hard but you will learn.

I think professor Johnson might be one of my favorite teachers ever! He really cares about his students and whether or not they understand the material. Super funny, always making jokes in class.

Professor Johnson was a great professor! Highly recommend taking his MATH10 course! He cares about his students. He wants everyone to do well. Homework heavy course so do not take this course with another heavy homework load. (at least 6 hours of homework a week)
