I took the online history class with P.Johnson. Would not recommend this teacher. Lots of reading - read the entire book - every chapter was on a test. Lots of extra time spent on "listening to lectures" which you have to take notes on for 4 tests. In order to pass this class, you MUST do Extra Credit which takes up even more time.

Professor Johnson, despite obviously being a devoted student of the subject he teaches, will not help you if you want to pursue history. He mispronounces names, places, and anything not English (and many things that are). His study guides are so vaguely worded that you have to study the entire chapter anyway. Only take him if you need the credit.

this class has a lot of extra credit opportunities and it does take a lot of time but it helps A LOT. He doesn't go along with the powerpoints and goes off topic a lot so you have to finish the rest of the lecture on your own. His tests are very long and I mainly got my grade from all of the extra credit. If you put in the work you pass easily

Easy A. The exams were difficult, but if you actually watch the long lectures you'll be fine (I didn't). There is 1 online proctored exam, but you're allowed to use notes like his powerpoints, etc. He gives a lot of readings and films for extra credit for each unit/exam. Also the essay was easy as long as you follow the rubric he gives.

He usually just gives out pop quizzes when there are a lot of absent students and no matter if you get every question wrong, he'll still give you an A on them. more for just attendance/participation points. Inquizitives will literally take you from an F to a high C
