Great Teacher! Prepare for all the assignment given and do them, if not he'll deduct 50% of your speech, but he's very fair if you have an excuse. Just stick through it and do everything he says and you'll easily pass his class with a B or above if you do everything right. And the first speech is just to show him how you are around people.

His class is fun and enjoyable. He makes his best for you to get an A; he tells you what to study for test and what you need to do in order to succeed overall. Dont miss his class attendance is very important. Talk because thats also very important. I dont think his class is hard you just have to put some time into the work.

You must buy the book! Johnson is one of the most funniest teachers. Mid-term and final are exactly the same. Study for it, because he doesn't give a date when it is on. The hint is his "pregnancy". On speech days you must be on time, and stay within the time limit he assigns or he will deduct a lot of points. He is a great teacher, take him.
