It's as easy as it could get. No mandatory attendance, she uploads the notes online if you skip class and she also has weekly reviews (if you never go to her class lol). The exams are super easy, it mainly consists of problems you already did (maybe different numbers sometimes). The class itself isn't really interesting but it's super easy.

This class was a breeze! I took calculus in high school so I knew most of the material, but even without she gives you reviews that are very similar to the exams!

I personally feel like her teaching ability in this class might be a little hard to grasp if you don't have a decent understanding of Calc I. If you do, this will be an easy A. Lecture notes are posted online and reviews for tests are basically the tests themselves (all multiple choice). Also many homework problems are exact from the notes.

Take Dr. Johnson, don't go to class, get an A. It's that easy. Her lectures during class consist solely of filling out a study guide that she then posts online, rendering attendance useless. There is a fair amount of homework due every week, but she granted extensions on it fairly often. The final review was almost exactly the same as the final.

Prof Johnson is great! I HIGHLY recommend for a math class. She isn't "out to get you" like other math profs. She's not super outgoing, so you have to reach out to her & the T.A. if you need help, but they do help! TIP: do Webassign hw in class, and use notes as extra reviews for tests! 4 tests & drops lowest test grade is you've taken all of them.

Professor Johnson is very monotone and expects you to have a general understanding of calculus. For me, I would recommend getting a season pass to A+ Tutoring because you will need it. Her exams are much harder than any of the reviews and homework assignments. Speaking of homework, if you miss any, youre sure to fail. No quizzes. Just exams & HW.

Dr. Johnson is so nice and makes the work load easy (weekly homework + 4 exams), though it's frustrating when unlike math 140, none of her homework/reviews/lectures match the material on her tests. She is accessible outside of class though and works through the material slowly and clearly. The difficulty of this class is mainly due to the material.

Took Johnson based on recommendations of other students on "how easy she was." While this class is a basic review of high school calculus, her exams are very wordy and focus more on conceptual ideas than application. She's hard to understand/follow in class, which resulted in my fair share of skipping. However she is very sweet and understanding.

After having taken Maya for 140, I was expecting an A in this class as well. Sadly, I will have to make an 80 on the final to pass. Unlike 140 her tests are becoming more and more hard and covering more things that were not gone over in homework / week in reviews.

Johnson moves at an extremely slow pace & asks the class painfully obvious questions regarding basic algebra; not continuing until someone answers her. Wastes time making mistakes on simple math. Not hard to teach yourself if you have basic knowledge of calc. I missed several classes between exams & made As on all. Exams only 20 Qs, so hit or miss.
