Total jerk, but she SOMETIMES had a sense of humor. She was obsessed with making sure that nobody was cheating. My bet is that she cheated when she was in school and so now she is convinced that the rest of the world are cheaters. Just be prepared to feel like a high school kid again.

This is a very hard class, so don't expect the teacher to do your work. Basically, if you fail, that's because you didn't put enough time into your studying. You didn't come to like the teacher, you came to study (hard), so stop making up excuses for not passing this class.

If you are wanting to pass with a good letter grade do not take Dr. Johnson. She does not explain material, all she does is read off of her powerpoint. Must read material before class time for sure. Lab portion is the same, she goes over the material at her pace and then lets you figure it out on your own. Good luck if you decide to take her class

For a lot of people, AP1 is going to be the hardest class you've ever taken. Some teachers soften the blow by giving out lots of extra credit and detailed exam guides. Dr. Johnson is not one of those teachers, and that's both a curse and a blessing. She makes it as hard as a nursing school class, which is nice prep for the future. Be ready to study

Yea! A & P is a difficult subject. She will make you work hard for your grade. But if you plan on going into the nursing field get ready to toughen up. She does post helpful materials up on blackboard. Just ignore everything else, work hard and help youself to achieve your dreams. Good luck!

i took her twice because there was no other choice. A&P 1 is hard. going in with the "this is going to be easy" mentality is not wise. even for the best people. YOU MUST study outside of class. she runs through the powerpoints and no one gets it. offers little EC. this class made me toughen up. YOU cannot slack if you want to succeed in this class

I havent even been in her class for a week and I can already tell shes one of the professors that makes you teach yourself instead of her doing the teaching. She cant ever stay on topic while lecturing either, if you can record every single one of her lectures/labs. Itll help a little but its a pain to have to listen all over again

This is one tough cookie. She's a great professor, she loves this subject and it shows, but she almost gives TOO much information so that makes it hard to study for the exams.

By far the worst professor I've ever had. There are 3 lecture tests and 2 lab tests. She gives you a “review” that she didn't even make and doesn't ask you a single question on them. Lab exams should be lecture exams because she doesn't ask you a single thing about the anatomy portion of the body. Always on her phone and seems annoyed by questions.

This professor covers a lot of content, so get ready to study hard.

A lot of the negative things said about her. If you're not willing to put in the work, don't take the course. She gives examples TO RELATE IT TO THE MATERIAL, not to talk about herself.

Great professor, but A&P II is a very hard course. Focus on her slides—they're where test questions come from. Homework is used to get a better understanding of material, but don't rely on it for exams. Write notes BEFORE class, ask questions, and study MINIMUM 2 hrs a day. Stay disciplined and you can crush it. Be ready to work hard!
