Great professor! Sure she is a tough grader, but in the long run this will pay off. Very passionate about her work. One can learn a lot from her. Highly recommend this professor if turly wanting to learn.

Good instructor, just some of the work ins more than a little boring. This course should be relisted if it isn't already as a writing intensive course as long as she's teaching it.

Very high energy lectures. Open discussions in class were fun. Grades kind of hard, but offers lots of suggestions as well.

Chen-Johnson was the perfect teacher for me. Her lessons were clear, structured, and easy to follow. She has high standards for her students, yet she makes sure that they will meet those standards. Her argumentative class gave me skills that will be able useful my whole life. TAKE HER!

She prepares you well for upper-level writing, however very maticulous.

EXTREMELY hard grader. Expects too much from students. This could be from the fact that she thinks that ENGL 101 teachers teach us certain things when they don't. However, she is a very nice and fun woman who really does want her students to learn. She's very open to feedback, and she asked/accepted our opinions at the end of the quarter.

NICEST LADY in the world, NOT A NICE GRADER! The worst thing she does is GRILL students in class, making it PAINFULLY difficult to come up with an answer in time... YEEESH.... >.<

Chen-Johnson is an instructor that has a lot of integrity when it comes to teaching the cirriculum. She is not an "easy" pass! She expects you to have integrity as well and wants you to be an active participant in your education. Overall, she's a good woman and good teacher, but has a tendency be critical when it comes to essays.

She is a very hard teacher. She is not understanding. Very boring. It's her way or no way. You could work very hard in her class all quarter and she will fail you if she doesn't like you. Picks her favorites, mostly guys.

When she gives out assignments, make sure you do it the way she wants it. Stick to the topics that she gives & stay on track.

Tests were not accurate. She lectured along with powerpoint presentations. Her grading was hard and it is not easy to pass her class.

She's a tough grader, yes- tough but fair. She expects quality work. She actually teaches and encourages critical thinking, not memorization and repetition-which is why many people struggle. Listen, discuss and write and you will pass her class.

Chen-Johnson is a very tough grader, but I've heard that all English teachers are, so if you're expecting an easy A out of an English class, it is not going to happen. You have to do the work and a ton of research. Everyone in my class had trouble understand what she was expecting out of our essays and that didn't change the entire time.

I took her for yoga, and she was THE perfect fit for this class. She de-stressed my day every time, and left my body feeling a lot less tense. She has the perfect voice for yoga, and leads you through the poses extremely well

She's not as tough as everyone is saying she is. She expects you to do the work and to do better each essay. She's a great teacher and a great person and she really cares about her students. She wants everyone to succeed and it shows. I recommend her for sure!

This is a good teacher if you like OPTIONS! there are a total of 4 essays and 4 critiques she assigns however she only keeps the top two grades from each therefor maximizing your grade to its full potential! she is very witty and likes to pick on some of her students (I was one for always having a motorcycle helmet) oh and she is a great artist!

Really friendly. Do and repeat the poses and come to class and you will have an awesome grade. No textbook are needed.

Extremely nice and helpful professor. I really enjoyed yoga! It was very relaxing and she offers make-ups to help your grade if you miss more than two classes. Only a few written assignments, but they're easy and will benefit you no matter what. She is wonderful!!

Awesome teacher! Fun class, lots of opportunities to better your grade, very straight forward.

I absolutely loved this class. Although she is a challenging teacher she puts a lot of effort into this class. I learned so much from her and this class. I defiantly recommend taking her class. I also recommend doing all essays even though not all are required. It will really help your grade.

She is very helpful and patient, but she grades so hard. I work very hard but only get a B+....I am sad.

She holds you to a high standard and I liked that she did not give A's for "effort". This class can really help you become a better writer if you are willing to invest the time and energy. She is really enthusiastic about what she teaches and it catches with the class.

My favorite class at TCC to date. If you worked diligently then you will do well. She is the best teacher I have had. If you need help or clarification she is ready to assist you, she is VERY, very smart yet doesn't rub it in. Absolutely love her, wish I could take the class again, shes so awesome!!!!

Mrs. C-J has to be one of the best teachers at TCC. She makes coming to class a whole lot of fun. She isn't one of those teachers who will just lecture to you in monotone, she makes the material her own. She's very flexible when it comes to assignments, you choose which ones you do. Highly recommend her, best teacher you'll ever have guaranteed.

Favorite class I have taken at TCC. It is work, but you have lots of options to get a good grade. Loved the teacher, super smart, nice, and eloquent .

Mary is an excellent teacher and an engaging speaker. Demands high quality research writing and grades strictly, but that only gets you prepared to succeed in future classes. Don't skip class or text a lot or skip the readings. She appreciates students who come to class with something to say about the readings and doesn't make it easy for slackers.

I enjoyed her Yoga class. She was perfect for the job very calming and helpful. I didn't like yoga at first but grew to like it. The giving project was also interesting.

Great teacher! She was fully engaged with the class every day & I learned a lot. Her class was a little on the difficult side, but just PAY ATTENTION and ask questions if you're confused. Attendance is very important as well; however, she always sends the class the word documents and powerpoints that she uses. There's also a lot of options for HW!

Great Professor If you apply yourself you will do well. She loves teaching and wants you to do well.

Great class and teacher. It was very easy and relaxing. Show up and you'll pass. There is a group project toward the end of the quarter and that's about it besides a few papers that are easy peasy.

I'm VERY GLAD to had take Professor Chen-Johnson's class. She took the time to break things down for me and she always gave me a chance. I would take another class if I could. She's respectful, shes clear, patient and VERY SPECIFIC AND DETAILED.

She is a highly motivated individual and keeps the class interesting. Mrs. Chen-Johnson is a very good professor, the kind of person who will help you. She grades tough but in a good way, as she wants to see her students succeed. She also makes sure that everyone is engaged in the class discussions. So, I highly recommend taking any of her classes.

Loved her and the class!

I can tell that she tries to make the class fun and exciting but to me it came off as a bit immature. She assigns readings that have nothing to do with what we're working on. I do like how she sticks to the calendar that comes with the syllabus though!

Take this professor. Excellent lectures with clear assignment expectations.

This is a very good beginner's yoga class, but she gives a lot of written work for a 1 credit PE class. She always gives modifications to make the class accessible, but she's very tough about body placement on the mid term practical test (for example, I was marked down for turning out my hips in a couple of poses).

This lady is no joke. Honestly, she does grade hard and quite frank with you. But with all that said, I loved this class. It was not what I expected, but I learned A LOT and really improved my writing. Do the work, read the material, and you will get the grade you deserve. I got an A-, and I had to work for it. But isn't that what college is about?

professor chen-johnson is incredible. She is very helpful out of class, especially since this class was taken online. The books were interesting and engaging to read, but beware of touchy subjects. she gives great feedback after discussions and assignments, and you quickly get to know what she expects from you. REMEMBER TO PROOF READ AND CITE!!

Enjoyed the class, learned a lot. It's is a busy class and she makes you work for your grade! She does help if you email her (I took online), tough grader but really pulls the knowledge out of you! No textbook but used novels.

I regret taking her class because she is a tough grader and I didn't realize it at first but she makes me put my sweat and tears into my grade. However since the start of the quarter I think I've improved quite a bit thanks to her feedback. Wouldn't take her class again but I'm grateful for the opportunity to be able to study under her.

Super nice and even lets students into her class if its full. Relaxing and easy class. One project to do over the whole quarter about self-reflection. A couple easy assignments about your body. Just show up and be present.

super harsh grader but you'll definitely learn a lot after her class she also gives lots of extra credit and extra assignments if you miss one.

When I first started her online format, I didn't enjoy the fact that I was required to view each segment before quizzing and discussion posting. However, I love the fact that the weeks aren't locked. I was able to get ahead by 5 weeks in a single sitting because it is a well structured, and relatively digestible course load. Being first A grade.

I wish I could select more tags. She is the best teacher I have taken to date. She responded quickly, worked with any problems, gave awesome, clear, constructive feedback, extra credit opportunities, and provided formats for different learning types. She was really funny, too, especially with examples that she gave. Do the work, and youll succeed.

Show up!! Easy to pass if you show up and do the yoga. Quite a few but easy assignments overall; more time-consuming than expected. Group project near the end, but fairly easy. Assignments will not be posted under “grades” category so always check modules for hidden assignments, as they are not always announced to the class! Nice and caring lady!

Professor Chen-Johnson can be tough, but her feedback helps you improve. Attending class, using Unstuckstudy, and putting in the work are key to succeeding in this course. The material is challenging, but doable if you stay engaged.

Mary Chen-Johnson is a very kind teacher who taught me a lot about yoga. She is very understanding of your situation, and will give you opportunities to make up anything you missed. Since some of the poses in yoga is tough, she gives plenty of accessible ways to do them differently. I would totally take yoga with her again.
