totally awesome guy, really easy to understand and he cares about you and your grade!it is math, so there is hw and tests! but you can pass! take his class,you will enjoy math way more
Excellent teacher! I took him back in either Spring or Fall 1998 and Kent made the class very enjoyable and fully understandable! If you have the change, totally take his MATH class - highly recommended!
This professor is very difficult...he is very hard to understand and does not make any sense. He makes math seem so difficult.He does not even try to make math fun!!!!
whoever said that professor KENT JOHNSON was difficult, you are a moron. "kdogg" is the****. hands down the greatest math teacher on earth. he brings that puppy down all the time!!!!
Awesome teacher. Never had a math teacher like him before..
Dude this guy is awesome! Really easy! Summer Session with this guy is great. He is also very fun! You know what he looks like Mr. Smith from MATRIX, the guy that saids "Mr. Anderson", but older and with wrinkles. Dude this guy is Tight! i would SUGGEST HIM!!!!!!!
The best teacher I've had at mt. sac great teacher and has a great attitude loved the classes I took with him
This teacher is great i think he looks like a sailor with the yellow shiny hat and trench coat! he explains everything to a detail and is very passionate about math. If you need him to explain something tell him he will!
He is tough and doesn't explain the mathematics well.
johnson. kent johnson. a great man. i'll probably tell my kids and grandkids about this dude. "K-DOGG" is the s#it! with one liners such as "bring that puppy down","it needs more flavor","sprinkle some oregano","shave the cat", not to mention the weird shifts in volume when he lectures. "dunnn!" "DONE!" "done". he makes math very very easy to learn
I just started my education, and forget everythign in school, "KDOGG" Kent Johnson made everythign easy to understand, He explains clearly, and wants to help you understand and pass the class. He is very LENIENT, especially on test days, He helps, and answers all your questions not like most proff! He is the one you want to take! TRUST ME! TAKE HIM
Mr. Johnson explains very clearly. I wish that I would have completed his class but I hadn't taken Math in 10 years so it was very difficult for me. However, I will take his Math Class again.
K Johnson is very easy and cool. Wants his class to do great so sometimes you can retake the exams in his other class. You will smile in his lectures. Does not trip if your cellphone rings, his cell rings. Never puts you down and answers every question clearly. Reminds me of the guy in The Matrix.
K. Johnson is the best math teacher I have ever had. Period. He gives great lectures and spends plenty of time explaining things. His colorful sayings are really cool too: "Every day of the week!", "Tuck-it!", "DONE!" This guy is very passionate about match and it's hard not to be more passionate about it yourself with such a good teacher.
I LOVE YOU JONHSON! I M NOT A MATH DUMMER, AFTER A SEMESTER WITH HIM, I FEEL I'M A MATH TEACHER! TUCK-IT! DONE! NICELY DONE! BTW, PERFECT CLEAR ENGLISH, NO ACCENTS, TEACH YOU MATH STEP BY STEP. THANKS JOHNSON, AND LOOKING TO TAKE YOUR CLASS IN HIGHER MATH LEVEL.
Math is like alien language to me but Mr Johnson made it reaaally easy to comprehend. He always takes the extra mile to explain everything so that his students will understand the concepts. I now have a newfound love for math because of him. Take him! He's the best!
Mr Johnson would get a 10 on Helpfulness and Clarity if there was an option. I don't understand Math and I used to despite going to that class until I took Mr. J. I never missed a day. I would definately take him again.
If you dont like math he's the teacher for you!!!
Mr. Johnson is very articulate and clear when lecturing. His method is organized and his examples are thorough. He anticipates while teaching, knows whether or not you are grasping these concepts to help you progress in the next section. If things seem unclear, he helps students after class. He's a great teacher.
he was just the teacher ive been needing in math! he actually takes the time to explain everything, sometimes too much if u pick it up quickly, but he just wants to make sure everyone gets it. & he explains in a way that everyone CAN understand. his notes are all u need. u just use the book for hmwk-not a lot just enough to make sure u understand
he gives alot of hamework and so really time consuming i hate the way he speaks he cant just tell you easily he has to give you a lot of mathematical therminoligy bs !!! he does give retake test but he makes them harder then the first one!!!! boring speaker!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prof. K. Johnson rocks!!!He is an awesome teacher. He is the BEST teacher to take if you struggle in math 'cuz he explains things crystl clear. I took his class for the winter intersession and he made me look forward to coming to class everyday. His passion for math is very infectious. Super nice guy. THE BEST MATH TEACHER YOU'LL EVER HAVE!!!!!!
He is very passionate about what he does. You can tell he wants all of his students to learn, and pass the class. His lectures are crystal clear, and he is a super nice guy. I dont like math, but I was able to get an A in the class.
MR. JOHNSON IS THE BEST INSTRUCTOR THAT I HAVE EVER HAD. MATH IS NOT ONE OF MY STRONG SUBJECTS BUT HE MAKES THINGS CLEAR BY GIVING EXAMPLES PERTAINING TO THINGS WE USE IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES. HE WILL EXPLAIN IT UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND. HE HAS A PASSION ABOUT WHAT HE DOES AND REALLY CARES ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS. HE IS JUST WONDERFUL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.
mr. j is the best math techer ever, before his class i hated math...but now after taking him,,,i enjoy math..and i can actually understand everything. He is a wonderful teacher and is very helpful.
What I did not like about Mr. Johnson was that he makes you believe that if you stick to the class do your homework, & don't miss class he will pass you. Well he did not keep his word. Retake exams are harder than the reg. exams. Overall good teacher if you can keep up with his teaching speed. Consider Prof. Nitta for this class, he's better.
What to say about Kent Johnson...He is one of those teachers that just makes you want to pay attention. He teaches every process completely, and he wont move until everyone gets it...He has a lot to teach, so it might seem like he goes fast paced, but that's college for you...Over all, he is highly recommended. You wont regret it.His voice is loud!
Johnson is amazing!!! if you do your homework and write god notes- you will totally get a good grade. He makes sure to answer every question until one understands the process. I highly recommend Johnson for Math50!!! He also looks like Ted Nugent =)
Professor Johnson is an excellent teacher. I had him for six weeks for summer session. Had to do homework every night, but was managable. He usually teaches jr high, so his method is geared toward instructing adolescents, which makes him easy to understand. To sum it up, I got a C in high school algebra, but got an A in his class,he makes it ea

Prof Johnson is awesome! He is crystal clear when he teaches and if you don't understand the problem he will do it again until you get it. If you still don't get it he will stay after class and help you. If you done your homework and understand all the notes you took than you should be able to ace his class. I sure did but you have to study.
Kent Johnson is by far the best math teacher ever! Just started MATH51 -- only 2 classes so far, but already know the man is passionate about what he does. Clear, easy to understand, kind, helpful, etc., can't say enough positive things! Even the young kids respect him and pay attention! Amazing!
Excellent instructor! I have not taken algebra for 22 years and I received an A in his class. He is passionate about math and committed to his students grasping the concepts. He would arrive early and leave late to be available to students who wanted extra help. The pace was fast, and missing class had potentially huge impact but thats just math.
This prof. is awesome! He makes it sooo easy to understand. If you dont get it he's always available after and before class for some 1 on 1. His goal is for EVERYONE to understand and he also tries to memorize everyone's name and face. Tests can sometimes be made up if you score low. Book used 4 hw only. DEFINATELY TAKE HIM!!!!
BEST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD! MY BOYFRIEND AND I LOVED HIM!!!!
GREAT MATH TEACHER. Very helpful and enthusiastic/serious about his job. If you are bad at math he is perfect! Explains everything and goes slowly. Does not like slackers and absences. Take notes they are great for homework and tests. Definitely RECOMMEND.
Take this professor!!!! He's the best math teacher ever! Too bad he doesn't teach ALL math levels
Great Teacher!
Best teacher Ever...if he taught all levels of Math man would i take this guy! he is a dedicated Man...loves to teach math...best teacher i ever had...he makes u love going to his class
He's one of the best math teachers I've ever had. He explains everything so well. The tests are over what was in the notes from his lecture and most of the test questions are not difficult, nothing insanely hard like the other math profs I hear about. So if you do the homework, and attend class you should be fine. He also offers one test retake.
great teacher
This professor is so helpful he even came in on a friday (his day off) to help students that needed the extra help.Johnson is so dedicated to his students that he does whatever possible to help you if you need it.I strongly recommend this professor,I wish he taught math71 for this next semester but he didn't.I'll never forget how much he helpedme.
Awesome teacher. Stays as long as possible after class to help and willing to come in on his day off to help students. Great great professor
Professor Johnson will go the extra mile to help students. He arrives to class early and stays as long as possible to help anyone that asks, so don't be afraid to ask for help. He is very clear about the material. Assigns homework every day but it will only benefit you if you do it. He memorizes everyone's names and includes it in his lectures.
I absolutely loved Professor Johnson! I hate math, but I found that his class was fun and the material was easy to understand. He took the extra time to go through things if even one student needed help. Highly recommend him!
Mr.johnson is one of a kind!!!!! I came to his class retaking math 71 after getting a D in my previous semester. He is genuine and after his class i had confidence in math and knew how to do the problems... no words to describe other then amazing expirence. Dont take it for granted!
Made an unbearable subject interesting and sometimes fun. He is not an "easy" teacher but an excellent one that wants you to understand and get comfortable with the material. I will be taking his class again.
If you need a professor for math that explains thoroughly look no further. Johnson is like Mr. Rogers, nice and informative, I had 2+ pages of notes after eachday and plenty of help, he allowed retaking test, extra credit and his test weren't difficult, however; he did such a good job of explaining things, so it may have felt easier. Great teacher
One of the best professors I have ever had. He is very helpful and super sweet. It shows he loves what he does!
BEST EVER!!!!! you will truly learn in his class. He loves his job and that's what makes him such a good instructor. If you need extra help he will stay after class until you understand the material. He never misses class and NEVER expect him to let class go early. He takes up every minute! test, quizzes and homework are reasonable.
The best math professor you can possibly have. He is so good at what he does because he enjoys what he does. He has a loud clear voice and he is just awesome and sweet and really wants you to pass. You will learn if you do your homework and if you don't miss any classes and take notes. The best!!
BEST math teacher I have ever had! I have never had a firm grasp on math, and for the first time in his class I understood concepts I have struggled with since middle school. Be ON TIME and do the homework he will go the extra mile to help you succeed. Tons of problem examples given in class, and thorough, straightforward delivery of material.
Johnson is one of the best professors ive ever had in general! he really cares about his students and makes himself available for his students even on weekends. The only problem for me is he explains the material to much if that makes sense. if you're not good in math he is the professor for you, if you are i recommend you take some one else
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE INSTRUCTOR EVER!!! He is passionate and wants to help. He makes himself available before and after class if you're in need of extra help. He makes a point on remembering everyone's name. He's very thorough and clear in his teaching. He's amazing!
He is the BEST teacher I have encountered in my 3 years on campus. He is very clear in his explanations and gives just enough homework to drive the points into memory. He makes himself available to his students and he really truly cares about them. On several occasions he took his own personal time to make sure we succeeded. TAKE HIM!
He's a good teacher and welling to help his students, but he's not easy at all unless if u for are a genius in math, and he throw a lot of info at the same time, personally I do not like his style of teaching but I still hes caring teacher and very nice and the same time.
Professor Johnson was an okay teacher. I took his class fall for Math 50 and it was great. However, his way of teaching was not my style. He explains problems reeeeeally slow. If you are aware with the stuff and you get the hang of it quick you might want to take another class because you will get bored of hearing him. He is very nice though.
I struggle a lot in math and taking his class made it a lot easier. He goes over all sections thoroughly and doesn't mind taking multiple questions in class. He also has set office hours where he would host a 'study session' with students who needed the extra help before tests. I was take him again!
Professor Johnson is by far the best professor I've ever taken. I struggle in math and he helped me understand everything perfectly. He is an amazing instructor and takes things slowly and explains them in different ways to help everyone. If you struggle in math, he is definitely the professor for you.
Best math teacher ever, willing to help his students. if you have a hard time with math take him.
I have been putting math for the longest time. I was the perfect Professor to get back into it. He explained everything clearly. Keep in mind that its math we are talking about here, and its not easy but not impossible. You must be going into it ready to put in the effort and it WILL pay off.
Johnson is an amazing teacher!!! Math has always been a struggle for me & I was so nervous taking this course, but he helped me get through it. His methods are understandable, he talks very loud & makes it clear and wont stop until you understand everything. He is always there for extra help. Take him for 50, 51, and 71 !!
Professor Johnson is an AMAZING professor. I am horrible at math and couldn't pass math 50, once I took him I passed with a B. His exams are off problems he does during lecture and even hands out a study guide for the tests. Study guide is on point with exams. He does everything and anything in His power to help you pass his class. AMAZING notes.
By far the BEST professor I have ever had. I struggled with math but now come to think of it, I never really had the RIGHT professor. He's hilarious and even if one student doesn't get it he'll stop and explain it throughly. Oh trust me when I say thoroughly believe it. Let's just say im pretty bummed he won't be teaching math 71 next semester.
Prof. Johnson is beyond the perfect ex. of what a prof. should be!! He is amazing all around. Im horrible at math, and opted to take his pathways course for 50/51/71 at the crack of dawn! (I'm so not a morning person but would have done it all over again to have him as a professor. He truly cares for his students success, and well being. HE GETS IT
I wish every professor was like this. He truly cares about his students and wants everyone to pass. He'll go over any problem and explain it as many times as it takes until everyone gets it. I'll defiantly try to take him again.
The best professor. He gives a lot of homework but honestly that was what help me get good grades in all my tests. He explains the problems very clearly and if you still need help with homework he works with you after class. During his office hours he uses a white board to write the problems and answers all your question.
Such a great professor! I wish I could take him for every math class!
Love Prof. Johnson. He goes over & beyond to help students. HEADS UP, he's really loud, like really really loud. It takes getting use to. He seems mean because of it, but he's truly the sweetest professor. Took him during winter, he gave HW everynight, but collected it once a week. Test reviews prior to test. Slow pace, explains thouroughly.
Best professor ever omg. If it wasnt for him I would be so lost I would be so lost in my math 71 class. I can now basically teach myself everything because Mr. Johnson explained everything so perfectly. He explains the steps it every detail and even explains why, for everything. He gives out homework everyday but will only collect in once a week.
This professor is fantastic! He genuinely cares whether you pass or not and will go out of his way to make sure that you understand the material. He presents it in multiple ways and is very clear. Show up, take notes and you will pass. His exams are extremely straight forward and your homework assignments reflect the exams. Great professor!
He is the very best, I'm not good at math at all and I walked out with an A because I tried and he explained it perfectly and clearly.
Tough grader to say the least, he doesn't do anything review before test he piles on new chapters everyday even though it won't be on the test. He spends a lot of time explaining questions before he gets to the point. he talks really slow so it can be very boring at times
He was totally helpful! Took him for winter semester and even though we had six weeks, he would find time to help us review. Super caring towards your grade. Speaks super loud but that's his way of catching your attention I guess! Totally recommend him.
Professor Johnson is nice and friendly, but he SPEAKS REALLY LOUDLY. He hand writes all packets (HW, Quizzes, Exams). He also spends a ton of time explaining each and every question before getting to the point and answering them. Since he explains everything in detail, it can get confusing when learning the lessons. He assigns HW weekly too.
He is a very good professor! Explains everything in detail: the who, what, and especially the why! He seems to really have passion for his career, which I admire! The funny thing is, I fell asleep often because it was so early in the morning! I will not take an early class anymore! However, it was totally worth it! I highly recommend him to everyon
Professor Johnson explains in detail too much which can confuse you. He talks way too loudly, & assigns too much homework. Some of the notes are unnecessary. He hand writes all the tests & homework packets, which can get very annoying. I don't recommend him if you're struggling with math. He overdoes it. Take a different professor. Seriously.
A great teacher. He explained everything thoroughly and multiple times, which could get tiresome, but overall was very useful. I took his morning class and if you arrived early class then you had that much extra time to copy notes and work on your exams. Study the formulas he talks about repeatedly. Wants to help. HW is reasonable & due next week.
Extremely friendly guy. LOUD voice, but you shouldn't be intimidated. Tons of homework, BUT will help you tremendously on test. Don't slack. It was a great class. His loud voice really made you pay attention. HE LOVES HIS JOB. HE'S PASSIONATE ABOUT MATH & teaching the public. What a great guy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. He cares so much about your education
He is amazing, math it's not my thing & he helped me a lot he gives a lot of homework but it pays off & if you don't finish he gives you time to turn it in just ask he is always available after class & very flexible if you communicate don't need the book he lets you take a pic from the book kind man don't judge his loud voice he loves what he does
Never had a more thorough professor that sincerely cares if you understand what he is teaching, if not, this man will go the distance to get through to you.
Greatest math professor I've ever had. I have long struggled with math, had previously taken this course & was unable to pass took it w/Prof. K. Johnson, and thanks to his thoroughness, extra help in office hours, encouragement & my hard work, I finally passed. I'd recommend him to all, especially those who struggle with math.
Took him for winter they were a lot of notes so be aware but he is a pretty good guy that cares about his students and goes in details with his notes which is great and will help you if you ask for help, during the intersection there is a lot of sign hw but wouldnt know for a semester how he works but I hear he has office hours during a semest.
I dreaded math because I didnt understand it, professor Johnson got through to my brain!!!!! I actually began to enjoy math, I enjoyed coming to class. He is an awesome professor, if you want to really learn he will explain it until you understand it. Lots of HW but it helps because after on the tests the material comes so naturally.
He is an amazing professor. I never really enjoyed math and he help me find a way to enjoy it and actually understand it. He will do anything in his power to help his students succeed. Do not skip classes (especially during a 6 week course) as he does cover a lot of material. I highly recommend him, his passion truly shines through his teaching!!
The BEST math teacher everrrr! Honestly, I could go on and on about how amazing Mr. Johnson is. He is super positive and always cracking jokes which I find to be hilarious. His lectures are very thorough, but if you don't get it don't worry! He is more than willing to help you. YOU THE BEST IN THE WEST KENT!
Kent has to be one of the best professors on this campus. I appreciate his honest feedback. If you don't understand go to his tutoring hours he really makes you understand even if it takes a whole month !
Professor Johnson is honestly the best! He genuinely cares for his students! He NEVER makes you feel dumb for not getting it & he will ALWAYS make sure that you understand the material even if it takes him 3 extra hours after class to help you! He does assign a lot of homework but he isn't too strict about it. I recommend taking his class! :)
I have always hated math. It just never clicked for me.. UNTIL I took Professor Johnsons class! He is absolutely amazing, he just has a way of teaching where it all makes sense. If you pay attention/go to class/study you will have no trouble in this class. If you dont apply yourself its your fault for failing, he gives you everything you need!
Johnson was good, he cares a lot about teaching and his students, enthusiastic about it really. His lectures are easy and you do have to take notes every class meeting. Not difficult to follow him and he provides the book to take pictures for the homework. Don't be afraid to ask for help and attend his office hours.
Hes a great professor because he is very specific when he teaches. he also has great office hours i went to get help and passed with his office hours.
Favorite professor! he is very passionate about the subject, very caring and wants you to pass. his lectures are awesome and easy to understand. Lots of homework just like any other math class, but the practice helps you. No textbook needed, he lets you take photo of assignment in book. I really wish he taught math 71, I'm going to miss his class.
I failed this math course prior to taking this class. He is amazing, I was never good at math, however, I understand it now He has a lot of tips, math tricks and is just one of the best teachers I have ever had. He has been teaching math for a long time and teaches it in a logical step by step way! I wish i could take him for EVERY MATH CLASS
Professor Johnson is such an amazing person. He is super weird and dorky, but in the best way. He teaches math with such enthusiasm and is 100% aware that most people wont become mathematicians. The only thing in his mind is that every student understands the material. He speaks loud and clear, so dont be scared if it seems hes shouting.
He is honestly the best math professor I have ever had at Mt. SAC. I am HORRIBLE at math but after taking his class it actually made sense for the first time ever! He gives homework but nothing too crazy and has clear notes and takes his time to explain the lesson to his students. He makes himself available to answer any questions. Very caring!!!
by far the greatest professor / teacher ive ever had in my life. never have i met a professor so dedicated and passionate about what he teaches. he explains everything so clearly, he goes out of his way to make sure that everything is understood. he goes above and beyond for his students. simply the best professor ever.
I have never been good at math and have really struggled with it. I did not pass math 51 until I took it with Professor Johnson. He just has a way of getting through to students & really tries to make sure everyone understands. His homework helps you retain info & his tests are just like his study guides. I would take him for every math class!
Took his class in the fall and is honestly an amazing professor who really cares for his students. I highly recommend him if you get worried easily about math.
