Johnson is an great teacher, but is in a way a non traditional teacher. There is alot of in class participation.

He is very laid back and a pretty interesting teacher. He is very clear about what is going to be on the tests and the tests are all multiple choice and simple essays. I really enjoyed his class because it was fairly interesting and as long as you show up and pay attention you will pass.

He is a very nice professor and very willing to help. His test were easy and are really based off of the notes that he gives during lectures. He doesnt try to trick you he just words them so that you could think about it. I totally recommend him and he is also not that bad to look at.

Mr. Johnson is hilarious, and you can obviously tell that he loves history. You better show up to class because I missed two classes in a row and was so lost on some of the material; only the SI sessions saved me concerning the stuff I missed. Speaking of which, the SI sessions can be heaven sent. Also, try to not be late. He hates that.

His class is fairly easy, but make sure you study really hard because the only grades in this class are three tests, three quizzes, and one paper.

Mr. Johnson is a fantastic teacher. He really loves history and it shows in his lectures. The only assignments are the tests and quizzes in class. He offers extra credit through out the semester.

I honestly didn't do well in Johnson's American Historical Survey class, but loved him as a teacher so I'm getting my Humanities credit in his Eastern World class. He's a very "old school" type of teacher- no power points, but has an occasional video/picture. His lectures are so intriguing, but you MUST attend class to pass.

Phenomenal professor. Best lecturer I've ever had. Uses no powerpoints or supplemental learning so that is hard for kids who skip and don't focus.

I loved Johnson! He was a really understanding professor. Didn't use the book for anything other than inquizatives, so it was heavily relied on by lecture. SI was helpful but not necessary. He made history like a story which made it easy to learn.

I was very worried about coming into Johnson's class. This feeling reflected on my first quiz when I got a D (good thing quizzes are only 25 points). I studied much harder for the exams & scored in the top 10%. Really not a bad class AT ALL! 1. Go to class. 2. Take good notes & pay attention 3. Study hard & you will be A-OK! He is a very nice guy

I took History since 1877. He is my favorite professor so far. Tests and quizzes are easy as long as you take the time to study. I am not a fan of history but he made the classes enjoyable. He is very passionate about what he is teaching.

Had him for History Since 1877. This class will teach you how to study and how to really listen and take notes. There's plenty of extra credit opportunities to help your grade. Go to the SI! He has a lot of really interesting stories and he's very well traveled, it is lecture heavy but he teaches history in a more of a story way.

I had Johnson for Comparative Religions and I was confused the whole time. However, he is super nice and encourages everyone to visit his office hours if we need help. His lectures are kinda boring so it's easy to doze off. You need to take notes based off what he says not just powerpoints. Just don't be afraid to ask questions and you'll do fine.

Takes FOREVER to grade things which is annoying. He doesn't like technology so can take a while to respond to emails. I personally hate history, so lectures were boring, but he is a cool dude so that helped a little. Takes attendance each day. Only like 4 exams/quizzes and a midterm. Hard for me since I'm not good at history, but still got an A

Weekly reading quizzes, but the material is very interesting so it's easy reading. If you keep up with the weekly work, and you do the readings, you will do great. He's very fair and tries to make it fun. In person I'm sure this class is even better, but online he does a good job. He is a master at eclass organization and makes that part easy!

Professor Johnson is a very kind and solid choice for a professor. While lectures can sometimes drag on, Johnson has very good humor which can quickly bring someone's attention back to the course. I only wish he would show it more, because when Johnson tries he is truly funny and I believe his course would benefit more from it.

There is a textbook for the class but you only use it for alternate assignments. He is understanding for late assignments. Take notes in class. Even just reading over the notes you take will get you at least a B. He is very funny and gives lots of extra credit. One of my favorite professors ever.

A fun and understanding professor. The textbook is optional, and taking notes in class is key to success. With some effort, even just reviewing your notes can get you a solid grade. Unstuck AI was a helpful study tool alongside the lectures.
