Make sure to study for all quizzes! Outside of that, this class is very easy and the professor really cares about all of his students.
This class goes beyond the scope of just learning about special topics in information systems. He's also very easy to talk to and the assignments aren't that hard, but do make sure you study for your quizzes!
Great Professor overall! Helps you in the classroom and outside as well. Mr. Sammie is best professor I've ever had.
Amazing professor please take his class you will not regret It !!!
He is a great professor. I would recommend everybody to take him.
Professor Sammie is one of the best. He taught more than just the material required but also about the real world outside of university limits. He is an understanding person so be sure to maintain great communication and stay involved with the learning environment! Don't be afraid to ask questions and contribute to the class, it can be an easy A !
He is very respectful and takes his time to explain and make that everyone understands the course.
Great Professor! Really does open your eyes to new perspectives and opportunities. You own work ethic dictates your grade which is clear from the beginning. Very understanding about student situation and real world problems.
Professor is very inspiration and encourages you to want to be successful in this field, he also gives you resources to be successful
Extremely understanding and really only wants you to be your best
DAWG TAKE HIS CLASSES AND LISTEN TO THIS MAN. like he says best " Follow the BLUE PRINT"
This professor is an excellent teacher; Be prepared to read and knowledgeable about topics that your previous instructors have not covered. There is always a fun class discussion rather than endless ramblings. You will fail the class if you do nothing, but if you put in the effort, you will definitely pass.
Professor Johnson is definitely the best instructor I've had at Morgan state so far. You have to go to class in order to be successful but his lectures are actually interesting. Doesn't give a crazy amount of work and walks you through everything.
Mr. Johnson is a very fair instructor. This was the first class where I felt like I actually had to apply myself to study the materials but it only put me in a better position. I truly enjoyed this class and his lectures. I hope in the future I can take him again.
This professor is someone who will help you even when you are seemingly not putting in the effort to come to class and do assignments on time. His lectures are great and his life experience and advice are even better.
Very chill professor, you will have to read carefully on the chapter readings. Overall 10/10 professor.
Professor Johnson is one of the best professor at Morgan State. He understands the struggle that we as students face and urges us to use are ambition and drive for success(and money) to fuel good performance. He is flexible with late work and keeps class interesting in a field that is otherwise somewhat boring. Work hard and he will reward you.
This is a class that you will definitely learn in but be prepared to read. You will be inspired by professors work ethic and advice. Just do the work assigned and read the chapter and go over chapter questions and I promise you will be fine.
Very informative and challenges student's intelligence.
Great Professor.
GO to his last class and he's a very patient and chill man but don't take his kindness and patience for granted.
It's been a pleasure working with Professor Johnson in his CYBR150 class. He takes the time to explain the information covered in detail, encourages one to think, and gives examples to support understanding and retaining material. I would definitely take another one of his classes in the future. Thank you, Professor, for your commitment!
Professor Sammie Johnson is one lecturer who pushes his students to do better. He is relatable and learned to.
Professor Johnson is a professor who wants you to thrive in your field. Participation is very beneficial and you would want to show up every time.

Professor Johnson will not let you do bare minimum, He's going to push you to be your best and that's what I respect about this teacher.
Professor Sammie is my favorite teacher hands down. He knows his job and makes to make sure you also gain knowledge. For my time there I learned a lot about cybersecurity. I appreciate his help and the time he takes to make sure everyone as a class passes!

Professor Johnson is a respected professor who is strict on his grading policy and dedica
Professor Johnson is a well respected professor who was strict on his grading policy. He would work with you when it came to certain assignments and expected everyone to participate.
Professor Johnson was a very forgiving professor. After I had done nothing during the entire semester he still took the time to reach out to me before the end of final grades and talked to me in order to still try and help me receive a decent grade so I could save my GPA. I am greatly appreciative of what he's done for me.
Really wants the best for you as long as you want the best for yourself
Professor Johnson is the kind of teacher who truly wants his students to learn and succeed. He is very understanding and will help you out if needed. There's a textbook used for the course, and he will go over each chapter for better understanding. As long as you show up, read the book, and do your part, you'll be great.
This class was very interactive and self reflecting class. Always learning new things about the corporate world and the true meaning of cybersecurity. Very caring and wants you to train your knowledge by thinking outside the box. Homework and test are straightforward. Read the chapters he assigns because there will be a test on it.
Professor Sammie Johnson is the first that I have ever reviewed on RMP. He was inspirational during his lectures, calming before and after major exams, and always had a kind word for whoever (usually 1/3 of the class) stayed behind to talk. He is an excellent human being overall & I am a better person today having known him. Cybr is my major now
professor was great
Professor Johnson is great! He wants the best for all his students and encourages you to think outside the box.
You have to participate to really understand the material.

I really enjoyed taking a course with Professor Johnson. He is a really great lecture & has a great ability to make complex concepts easy to understand. I previously had no background on the subject, and I'm leaving his class feeling like I gained a lot of knowledge. He goes out of his way to make the learning experience great for his students.
Prof. Sammie Johnson, is very understanding and wants his students to pass the class; but also wants students to understand the material. If you study for the quiz and do the discussions it will be impossible to fail.
While I wish we had a little more engaging lectures this was a pretty easy going professor just do your work on time and be transparent about late assignments, absents etc.
He makes sure you actually understand the material if you actually pay attention.

Professor Johnson is honestly the best professor ive had yet, he teaches us about things we need to know to be successful for real world, like how to have leverage during job interviews, how to properly speak to command respect, etc. I came into the class with bad speaking habits like "uhm or like" he taught us how to stop that. Great professor
I see him as a great professor. His lectures are easy to follow, and he makes things interesting while lecturing the class, which makes it easier to learn and understand the material being taught.
At the start of CYBR 150.001, I was excited but unsure what to expect. I wasn't confident in my cybersecurity skills and worried the material might be too difficult. Professor Sammie Johnson is a helpful instructor who makes learning easier and shares great opportunities like internships and certifications.
He is inspirational.
Lectures are filled with information both book related and information on job security etc. Book content understanding is necessary as there is a lot of information and so making sure you stay up to date is necessary.
Professor Johnson is a fantastic professor, and his lectures are filled with tons of key information that will help us succeed in the cybersecurity field. He is also easily accessible and is willing to help, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. There are tons of readings to do, but that is very important in a class like CYBR 150.
Professor sammie is a good professor that is reliable even after class times. His lectures are full of information that is necessary for the material learned in this course. If you pay attention and read the material well then you will be successful in this class.
In the beginning of the class everything felt rushed. There wasn't any time to discuss what we were actually talking about, no confirmation and no asking do we understand which made it harder for me to understand because I am visual learner. But, he does work with you. You have to put in the effort for it. I'm at a point where I'm getting it now.
He's a great professor, very inspiring just READ and you'll pass.
Amazing professor, take his class!
At the beginning of the semester, I was slightly confident in my cybersecurity knowledge. At the midpoint in the semester know, I am more confident in my abilities. Professor Johnson also has been good at instilling confidence in his students, and I have felt my confidence increase as well.
read because if you don't you wont do well
Professor Johnson is a fair and understanding instructor. Your grade will reflect the effort and commitment you put into your work. The class does require a lot of reading, but it's essential for learning the material and being able to communicate it effectively in class.
Professor Johnson gives great lectures and is really good at explaining the topic. He cares for all of his students and won't move on until everything is understood. No question is a dumb question to ask him, and he treats all students the same. He does a good job making you think and solve a problem rather than giving you a free handout.
He wants you to learn and suceed you just have to put the work in.
When I first started CYBR 420.001 I was kind of nervous of what to expect, but as the year went on I got more comfortable. Professor Sammie Johnson will make learning in his class as hard as you want it to be. As long as you apply yourself you will pass his class.
Excellent Professor
This professor was very helpful and teaches you to be successful in the real world .Very down to earth and will contribute to your overall success
Professor Sammie Johnson has been one of the most impactful instructors I've had throughout my college journey. I first had him during my freshman year for an introductory cybersecurity course, and now, as a senior, I can confidently say his teaching has played a major role in shaping my understanding and passion for the field.
Professor Johnson is a great professor.He teaches in a way that ensures you fully understand the topic.Very understanding and considerate to students which is why many respect him.I advise everyone to take his class!
Professor Johnson's style of teaching is quite understanding. His class isn't hard to pass in as long as you put in the work, he said. Professor Johnson gives us quizzes so we can see how far we've gotten or just to see how much we've learned by reading the text. He also tries to point out our weaknesses and turn them into strengths.
Now that i've reached the midway point of this semester with this teacher, I can say that I am way more knowledgeable on things related to cybersecurity now than I was before this course. For example, I didn't even know basic vocabulary definitions but now those are very easy. I also feel way more confident when talking about cybersecurity.
I am way more knowledgeable on cybersecurity topics, my time management and studying skills have improved, and my retention of information has improved. I feel more confident in explaining what cybersecurity is to people or why it's important. I feel ready and confident to move on in my cybersecurity major.
Great professor that takes his time to help you learn and makes sure you understand
At first, I had little understanding of the laws and privacy and how they aligned with cybersecurity. Professor Johnson provided real-world examples and great lectures to enhance my understanding and awareness. This class improved my critical thinking skills, helped me become more confident, and proved that everything is connected.
I knew nothing about cybersecurity at first, but after one week with Prof. Sammie Johnson, I felt way more confident. He explains things clearly and really wants you to learn. Read at your own pace (I use text-to-speech). Class isn't mandatory but go! He's an expert and a great teacher for beginners.
Professor Sammie Johnson demonstrates strong professional abilities in both his knowledge of the subject and his teaching approach. His teaching style is clear, structured, and engaging, which has made complex cybersecurity legal concepts easier to understand.
His class is worth it you are able to find out about the outside world while still being in class. Honestly his way of teaching is one of a. kind and you are able to understand
Super funny and a nice teacher, the only thing is I would say is he doesn't review the content in the chapters as much as I would like. Sometimes, I felt like I had to teach myself some of the material, but this is honestly natural for college courses in general. Outside of that, it is a judgment-free environment and will answer any questions.
Mr.Johnson is a good teacher. I just think sometimes he goes off-topic a bit and then forgets what the main topic is but overall, he will help you throughout the course without holding your hand but help you if you when you need it.
Professor Johnson is an outgoing professor. He is truly here to help us progress in reaching our career aspirations. Showing up and being engaged are the two things you must maintain to get an A in this class. Passing any class with Professor Johnson is easy as long as you do your part as a student.
Professor utilizes textbook contents to real world scenarios.
This professor is a fantastic professor, he cares about his students and really wants them to succeed. He is the epitome of what a college professor should be; he is well respected by the students as well as his coworkers. In this class he taught me a lot things to take with me outside of the classroom, that i could use in my everyday life.
Professor Johnson is a great person who cares about his students like they are his kids, everyday coming to class is like a breath of fresh air from the stress of other professors. He makes every class feel like you're talking to a close friend, he keeps it real and provides work related to what he is telling us. Fantastic and respected teacher!!
Cyber security 420 is amazing. I love what we learn in the course the material is interesting and enjoyable to learn about and professor Johnson makes it easy. At the beginning of the semester I had little knowledge on cyber laws now I feel as though I can explain them to people who have no idea. thanks to profesor Johnson im confident in cyber law
He is very helpful in and outside of class. Turn your ears on in class and write as much notes as you can and you will learn so much. He's really a professor that cares there's not too much out here like him.
As long as you do the work and show effort, a desire to learn and get better, you will succeed in this course. Its not a hard course you just have to show up and do what you need to do.
The professor delivers long lectures, but they are very informative. If you ask questions and read the chapters, passing the assignments is quite manageable.

Very informative
Best teacher I have ever had at Morgan State. ONE OF A KIND
he gets mad when i start sentences with a lowercase letter and don't capitalize my I's, so I just did both of those things. Bossman is a really great teacher, he doesn't just teach the subject at hand, he teaches about principle, readiness, respect, and life. It will be one of the most insightful classes you'll take. I urge you to do it
Makes the class as easy for you as possible to pass, as long as you are ENAGAGED!
He is very fair, and it is heavily suggested that you show up to class.
I love prof. Sammie, he is an amazing teacher, that actually cares about his students, and wants you to be successful in the classroom, and in the real-world as well. Can't be more grateful to have had him as a Professor!
I don't even know where to start with Professor Johnson. He's one of the best teachers I've encountered. From our first class, he captivated me with the energy he brought into the room. Most of the assignments were discussion posts and quizzes based on the two textbooks we used. Be careful with those, though; he DOES NOT tolerate cheating.
He a chill professor who actually cares about his students and makes sure you understand the topics.
Professor Johnson was really informative with the material. He went deep into detail and answered any questions we had. He also made the book easy to understand, which I liked. I appreciated that he taught on the board for some lessons and also used videos to help us understand the information better.
This class was very easy if you put in the effort. If you plan to put in only half the effort, then your grade will reflect that. Learn the material and keep putting in repetitions to improve. Effort is key to earning an A if you try, you definitely will get one.
If you're considering switching to cybersecurity, I highly recommend this course. Professor Johnson clearly teaches fundamentals, connects lessons to real jobs and internships, and provides free resources for Security+ and other certifications. You earn the grade you work for, so communication is key.

Professor Johnson really cares for his students as he helps everyone when they need it. Professor Johnson makes real-world analogies to better help u students understand the content. Professor Johnson gives students real-world advice so they can be better prepared by the end of the course.
