He lets us call him by his first name: Terry! what more can i say! Hes a great teacher likes to joke around. Hes very helpful and wants students to understand before moving on to new material! He makes Lab really interesting and I learned a lot-study for the quizes! I hope i get him next semester!
SUCH A HOTTIE, AND ALSO HELPFUL...
Explains things really really well. Looks like Ben Stiller..lol..Makes class fun and keeps you interested. Study notes for quizes and tests. GO TO REVIEW SESSIONS for lab practicals. He works hard so that you dont have to. Highly Recomended!!
really nice guy
Johnson is a nice guy, but not a good teacher. He reads the notes that came with the book and if you ask a question, he has no idea. He is confusing and his tests are over stuff not covered in class.
Johnson explains and answers questions really well, tests cover strictly whats in his lectures, but you have to study first or you wouldn't know...only flunkies complain about Johnson..very good teacher
A really nice guy, makes the class as easy as possible( but in my opinion it seems like a lot of stuff gets skipped over for the sake of making it easy), explains the notes well, and doesnt throw questions on the test if they werent on the notes.
Johnson is a pretty laid back professor. His test arent hard at all, but do require that you study for them. He tries to be funny.
What a great guy! Always has a smile on his pretty little face and yes I have him for 8 a clock Biology and I am not much for science but he makes the class worth going to. He is a very nice helpful professor and would recommend him to anyone who needs that science with a lab credit to get done with there basics!
really good teacher, he likes what he does, but he moves kinda slow in the material so its hard to keep interests. tests are supper easy and come straight from the homework. highly recomend
Good class, great prof! Tests come directly from the notes and homework!
Okay class. He is a great guy and he is very interested in his subject but he doesn't keep control of the classroom very well and he isn't very consistant on how he lectures. Not very hard overall and gives A LOT of extra credit!!
IMO, Mr. Johnson is awesome. He knows this stuff and loves it. Teaches with a passion. Is more helpful than most of u deserve bc u don't come to class and when u do, u talk or text!! Believe me - he is more frustrated than u r!!! lol
Take Johnson! He's the BEST!!! Notes are printed, just fill in blanks. Test reviews are awesome and tests come straight from notes/reviews. Cares about students and values our input : tweaked lecture style in an attempt to make it easier for us! Wow, great teacher!
Really nice guy. Really funny and entertaining. pretty easy tests. he gives a lot of extra credit. as long as you study the notes and show up to class you'll pass easily.
Mr.Johnson is a fantastic teacher. Made the class fun and easy to learn. His notes are great help but the reviews for the test are amazing.
Very friendly and clear about material. Makes class interesting with the occasional joke and video. As long as you do online assessments, class can be very easy. I would say definitely take for Bio 121
Johnson is very nice and helpful and really cares about his students. Study hard for the tests, keep up with the online homework, and show up to class and you'll be fine. Just don't expect to breeze through because you DO have to study.
Great professor. Best I had my freshman year. If you need Bio 121, take him! Fill-in-the-blank notes for lecture class along with his jokes and videos make it not so hard to handle. Online homework is a must. Study the online homework and notes for tests and you are sure to do great.
He is pretty good. Just pay attention to mastering biology and you will make an A
Super Nice, Notes are online, Online HW is a must. Attendance is important. Labs were great. If biology is your life he is your man :)
very good at keeping the uninterested in biology, interested. He interacts with his students and provides the notes of the chapter as well as homework assignments online. These homework assignments are a must but they allow you to learn your notes as the questions come straight from the notes. Test questions also come from notes. Take this guy!
He isn't that helpful and when he talks he gets kind of sidetracked.
Very easy class for those that hate science. He will give you notes to print out for class and then will go over them in class. The homework and all test come straight from those notes, if you can just attend class its super easy.
All the test questions come from mastering biology. Emails you the notes. Easy. Take him
This guy lives and breathes biology and he wants you to be just as excited as he is. When I email him a question during school hours, I'm shocked if it takes longer than an hour for him to reply and he's always got a smile on his face. I took him for 120 and will take him again for 121.
Great teacher!! He gladly helped me and explained anything I was confused on. Biology is not my favorite subject but he had me totally hooked. ATTEND HIS CLASS! And study very hard before the test. Loved him!
He's an easy teacher if you hate/don't understand biology. His class is such a blowoff class, and to me, it seems almost an insult to college. Tests are really easy, based on the notes. Attendance is not required, but you do have attendance checks everyday. If you like bio or are majoring in it, I don't reccomend him, class is almost a joke
Easy course, great teacher, easy homework, tests are based off homework and he tries to make things as simple as possible. Would definitely take him again.
Dr. Johnson is a great professor. He cares about his students, and he's always willing to help them. Covers a lot of material in his class notes. Notes are very clear, which makes it easy to learn material. Tests are based on online homework and notes taken in class. Uses $60 Clicker for tests and in-class questions that count towards extra credit.
GREAT TEACHER! Prints all notes for you that are easy to follow. Online homeworks are easy just make sure you do them on time. Tests are straight from notes and online homeworks. Would take him again in a heartbeat.
I took him for both Bio 120/121.He puts all the notes online and basically reads off them.They are not useful for homework.There is no need to go class.Almost every test is online homework questions,which makes tests easy.Overall it is an easy course,as long as you do well in lab.That is 25%of the total grade,homework is weighted that much as well.
Very easy teacher to take. His tests are basically right from the homework so as long as you look over that and the notes he gives to you you'll be set for the exams.
Great professor, definitely would take him again if i needed to. Homework is simple and follows the notes, exams are from the homework as well as notes, and aren't too difficult.
Science has always been a strong subject for me, but he had issues figuring out his testing method and we all suffered because of it. He doesn't really teach what you need to know. If it hadn't been for SI I would not have passed the class. Nice guy, but not the best teacher.
I believe that he decided to make his classes harder than they used to be. He has changed the testing schedule 3 times on us which makes it hard to study. He is very scatterbrained in class which makes it hard to keep up. he is a cool guy but i would wait until he got himself straight before I took him again
Really people? Wow! Johnson was trying to find a way to improve our test grades. Overall his tests are easier now. He even let us retake 2 of those exams! Johnson is an awesome teacher--sometimes you don't know when you got it good!
One of the worst teachers I've ever had. He is the only teacher that teaches Micro 207, so I didn't have a choice. Tests are next to impossible, his notes are extremely confusing, and the are questions on the test that aren't in the notes. He doesn't care about your grade either. Everyone in my is failing.
Great teacher! Very helpful, wants his students to succeed, Micro is a challenging course, attendance is a must. His tests are straight from the notes, but you do have to study details! Many of us that put forth the effort are doing well in his course. Take him! You will learn a lot of good stuff!
Loved his class! Test & quizzes were easy, and extra credit!!
He cares how his students are doing in his class. He gave numerous chances to improve your grade. If you pay attention in class study the notes he provides the tests are a breeze. This is his first Micro class at Tarleton so it was a little unorganized, but I believe he will make it a great class to take.
Extremely helpful and nice
Johnson was a great professor! He is so helpful and always comes into class with a positive attitude. There are quizzes everyday, but if you pay attention in class, you should make a good grade! He lets you know what you do and don't need to know for the test. If you ask questions, he is welcome to help! Highly recommend!
LOVED this class. As long as you go to class and pay attention, you'll do great! The daily quizzes are pretty easy.
Johnson is a great professor Took his micro class over the summer I mean it was hard since it was a 4 week course but if you attend to class pay attention and study you will do great His test come directly from his notes and as long as you study in advance you will pass He is willing to help and gives out bonus questions on the tests
As long as you studied it was easy!
He's the coolest teacher i took this semester and he looks like Ben Stiller
Johnson is a great professor
This class is my first experience with university biology, and an excellent one. He's always quick to clarify and answer questions, and even stays after class on the occasion I want to ask more about a subject. Good teacher.
He'll make you like biology. He's a really good professor and easy to understand. There are quizzes every class, but they're easy and open book. Just pay attention and you'll pass.
Covers a lot of material but he is very clear as to what will be on the test. Go to class or you will not pass but there is no need to get the textbook. If you do the test reviews and go to class it will be an easy A.
Very funny and clearly spoken. used my clicker everyday of class and tests.
He is a great teacher. He lays out exactly what he expects of you and holds you to it. He explains things throughly and will answer any question you might have and will make time to help you if need help. There is SI for this course. He is also very flexible if you have a busy schedule or are in extra circular activities.
All he did was read off of the slides and didn't really teach. He was really chill dude. If we didnt finish a chapter or slides he wouldnt put them on the test. He was kind of confusing on what we had to know for the test though. When we went through the slides, he would say"You dont need to know that" very often. my question, then why put it there
I really enjoyed this class. It was very straight forward and tests were straight from the notes. I would definitely take this professor again!
This class was a challenge for me, but he's very easy to go to and discuss topics. Microbiology is a different type of science and like any science it takes time to learn. Attend class because there are quizzes and go to SI. There are plenty of tools out there for you succeed in this class.
This was one of the best teachers I've had at tarleton. Very clear and specific to what he wants you to study.
Although biology isn't my favorite class, he made it bearable. Clicker quizzes every class. Mostly memorization but anyone that puts in ANY effort should be fine! Would probably take him again. Very laid back but still wants you to learn.
His lectures are long but full of important info and very clear. He makes it easy to understand. He gives quizzes at the beginning of most classes but if you did your studying, they are actually VERY helpful when preparing for the test. Don't skip. He is also helpful w/ going over test, quizzes with you. This class is VERY important for nursing!!!
You HAVE to go to class! Tests are powerpoint AND lecture based. Listen and ask questions, if there is something that seems might seem irrelevant now, Mr. Johnson is teaching it to you for a reason. Pay attention now and take the time to learn it. It will only benefit you in the long run when the information is needed in other classes. GO TO CLASS!
I did amazing on the tests and lab, but the only reason I got a B is because I skipped so much class. There is a clicker quiz everyday and they are 15% of the total grade.
He is a great prof, I am taking him again for Bio 1407
Good teacher. He makes lectures as interesting as possible and is a funny guy. Clicker quizzes every class so if you skip, your grade goes down. Tests aren't hard if you study review or SI session. No one should have a problem passing the class.
Expect to put your hours in studying for this class; without them, you just won't get it. If you do get stuck on a topic, go ask Mr. Johnson about it; he's very approachable. Throughout the years I've had DNA replication, transcription and translation explained to me several times. No one has EVER explained it as clearly as Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Johnson displays enthusiasm for the subject and the students. He tries to modify the material and work in hand with those who are struggling. He encourages and respects his students. He sets clear goals and provides high-quality feedback to his students. Mr. Johnson is an all round good teacher.
I loved Dr. Johnson! He came to every 8am with an amazing smile that made you want to work hard for him. Great lectures, detailed reviews and his tests are not bad if you study regularly. I studied the notes and reviews about every other day and increased that before exams and I never struggled. Daily quizzes but they are usually a free answer.
Mr. Johnson is awesome. His lectures are really good, you really learn what he means, but Biology includes lots of memorization so you still have to study by yourself to pass. His tests are really easy. Dont bother buying the book, Blackboard is all you need to study.
This professor gives you three exams each exam being over 30 or more modules. If you're late expect him to embarrass you in front of the whole class.
Dr. Johnson actually cares about his students and what they get out of the class. His tests can be tough start studying early!! His test reviews follow the exams pretty well, and the Final Review follows nearly exactly to the test! He is very helpful, and will explain as much as he can to better your understanding.
He was one of the most helpful professors I've had yet! Yes there is a lot of material, it's a harder science course, but he makes it much easier!! He posts the power points he goes over in class, and the tests are straight from the power points! He encourages you to ask questions whether you are embarrassed or not! Great at going over tests after!
Good teacher overall. I received a B in the class w/o trying. He gives you info in power points . Test come from these power points and extra credit. Test are 3-5 chapter 50-70 question but power points can be up to 150 slides and EC sides are 50+ slides. lots of info. Try to learn in class and gives daily pop quizzes that go towards attendance.
This class is not easy and it's not supposed to be. If you skip class, and don't manage your time well, don't expect to make a good grade. He gives assessments that you can use your notes on. Study study study! If you don't you will not do well. Multiple choice lecture test, fill in the blank lab test. you wont need the book.
Mr Johnson made me work for my A. I took the class a second time after I made a B. I had an88.8. Some teachers will round but for him you get what you earned. This is beneficial for nursing.
Mr Johnson is a professor that sets clear expectations. If you want an A he affords you every opportunity to get it, it's up to you by attendance and studying. He is available after class to meet with students.
Terry is an amazing professor. He loves what he is teaching and he wants his students to succeed! You need to study the powerpoints, and understand the overall concepts! ASK questions if you dont understand!! Lab is really fun! This class is not easy but if you care, and you put in the work you will do good!!
I was highly impressed with Mr. Johnson's summer microbiology course. Mr. Johnson has a wonderful personality and is so easily approachable with questions over the material or inquiries about where you went wrong on a past exam. You absolutely must earn your grade but he does all he can to help you achieve that. Understanding PowerPoints is vital.
Mr. Johnson is pretty clear about what he expects. I thought it was a average course and didn't study as hard or even go to class. Came out with a C. I retook it and made an easy A. All you have to do is pay attention in class and review power points and you're in the clear
This class was awesome, even at 8:00 a.m.! Mr. Johnson is fun, teaches very well, and it is obvious that he loves to teach. During lecture he takes his time with difficult topics, and draws them on the board. His class expectations are reasonable, and he wants everyone to succeed. He also will make time for you, if you need extra help.
Great teacher! Like any Biology course you have to put in the work and STUDY. Yes, you have to study it's biology. However, go to class and you get so many easy points for answering in class questions on your clicker! Tells you exactly whats on the test, you know what's on the review you get a 100, questions straightforward, online assessments
Good Professor, you have to work for your grade. He's good about meeting during his office hours, and cares about your grade!
Literally best ever! He is very helpful and doesnt mind going over material during his office hours if you are struggling. If he sees you trying to improve he will help you in the right direction. I would attend SI just for extra help. Go to class he gives extra credit point over things in the power point and it really helps your grade in the end.
Wonderful guy who loves to make bio as interesting as possible. He will always be saying dad jokes throughout lecture. He really does want you to pass and will help whenever you need it inside or outside of class. You really do have to study power points incredibly hard to pass his course. Wonderful guy!
This professor was really nice and funny however, I don't think he was prepared to teach an elementary education major biology class. He gave us more than 20 modules to study for one test and the tests would be really close to each other making it impossible to really study the material. I had reteach the material to myself using other resources.
LOVE this professor, I took him again for 1407 and made A's in both courses. He is very patient & passionate. If you have a question, go ask him. There are 4 tests but he makes reviews, DO THE REVIEWS & study & you'll pass. Come to class everyday, he has questions that pop up through out his ppts, its his way of attendance and easy 100 for you.
In 1407, the online homework w/ textbook wasn't bad, just do it. Also, show up for the 1-5 pop questions in his ppt, its how you'll get easy 100. His tests are alright, do the review he puts up and do not avoid the vocab words, these tests I thought leaned more to the vocab words than questions. Overall, study some, show up, and you should pass.
I had to retake biology 1407 because I had emergency surgery and missed the last lab practical and final, but there was still a few things about the plant life cycles I could never grasp, but he made it so much easier to understand. Attending class is mandatory to pass. If you can try and take your lab with him too.
Johnson is pretty chill. He just goes extremely fast during lecture.
Johnson was a really great teacher. Be ready to devote a lot of your time to studying for the tests because they're a lot of information. There's three tests, class clicker quizzes every lecture, and there's lab. As long as you study the notes on Johnsons BB, for lecture, pretty thoroughly you'll make an A in the class. Do NOT slack, study hard.
Mr. Johnson is a great professor and really helpful. He is always smiling and always available to help if you need it and a genuinely good guy. The class is difficult like a normal science class would be and you have to study for it but it is worth taking this with Mr. Johnson, especially for nursing.
Go to class, take good notes, review the notes, show you care and MAKE FLASHCARDS FOR EVERYTHING and you will do good, even if you aren't a science whiz.
I had this class as an 8 am Tuesday Thursday. Mr. Johnson was an okay professor. Literally read off of the slides he posted on blackboard so I didn't feel the need to come into class except for the attendance grade. The test reviews were harder than the actual tests so as long as you study the test reviews you should be fine.
He is very easy to talk to. If it is a quick question, he is happy to answer it after class, if there are more questions feel free to stop by his office hours. He will continue to clarify a topic until you understand it. Don't be afraid to ask questions! Other than that come to class, stay focused and study. Start studying as you get the material!
Hes a really good professor. The only complaint is that the material can go pretty fast. The class is great.
Johnson is great! He usually reads straight from the powerpoints but you need to go to to class for attendance grades. Hes really good at explaining things and is willing to walk you through something. Reviews are pretty similar to the tests so study those and youll be fine. Theres a lot of extra credit opportunities so its easy to pass.
Tons of material, but all power points are posted at the beginning of the semester. Professor stays on schedule. Gives daily clicker assessments, so attendance is mandatory. Fairly straightforward and easy though if you pay attention in class.
Very goof prof. You learn everything in lecture so you have to pay attention. We bought a online textbook but I never used it. He uses clickers in class for daily quizzes which are a grade and count for attendance. Tests are easy if you do the reviews.
Terry is a great professor!! But to pass this class you will HAVE to study. Its a TON of information. I never paid attention in lecture, I just showed up for the attendance grade because all his PowerPoints are online. If you study the vocabulary words and everything on his online reviews, youll make an A in his class. Studying is key to passing.
He's a really awesome professor. the lectures contain a lot of info so you have to pay attention and studying isn't an option. you have to work for your grade and it will show. but awesome professor and person.
Lecture consist of going over power points but attendance is a grade. He is a tough grader in lab and the lab test are the hardest thing in the class. They are fill in the blank and are timed. Make sure to know the power points front and back for the lecture test. He does give extra credit opportunities at the end of every test.
He is a very nice upbeat professor, even for 8am classes. Material is all in powerpoints but you MUST STUDY. Pay attention in lecture and ask questions if you have them. Spend time outside of class to really understand the material. Attendance is taken daily via clicker questions so show up and always have your clicker. Overall great class!
He is a good professor and was my only 8am and made them so easy to get to because he made class interesting and I never dreaded it. If you take the time and study you will pass, he gave extra credit that was easy and he gives out reviews for all his test.
Definitely need to study for his exams, theyre all on his powerpoints which are on Blackboard. The realest thing I can say is he is fair. If he sees you working hard he will help. His quizzes are kinda difficult. You have some easy and then some that are tricky. Super amazing Prof. Id retake him if I had the opportunity. I brought my C to an A
I had him for lab and he was super helpful and positive. Definitely study a lot for his lab exams and also ask him questions to show that you care about earning your grade. Also look over your exams you can get some bonus points and a letter grade difference.
This class wasn't too bad for a science class but you do have to work for your grade. I do believe Mr. Johnson is the right person for this subject. (micro)
He is very passionate about what he teaches and is straight forward.
This professor genuinely wants to make sure everyone in his class gets an education and passes. He is happy to answer any and all questions in and out of lecture! Not an easy A but very good teacher given the attention he deserves.
I took him for biology 1407 and 1406 and he is fairly easy. his tests are pretty difficult but the quizzes are easier. he gives in-class quizzes to keep attendance, so go to class it helps your grade. this semester and last semester in 1407, he gave extra credit for showing up to study skills sessions. I would go to those it saved my grade!
He is so relaxed and kind. He has amazing lectures and you can tell he is passionate about what he teaches. He provide great information and tips for tests and memory aide! He really cares about his students and makes his class so it isnt too hard but to where you still need to put in effort. 10/10
Johnson is seriously awesome. Exam material comes straight from the PowerPoints, and if you don't understand something then go to his office and he'll "dumb it down" as much as he needs to. He's SUPER down to earth and is willing to help you out when you need it! Quizzes are online, T/F and difficult but exams aren't hard if you take time to study.
Professor Johnson is an excellent instructor. Very passionate about what he teaches and cares about his students! Very lecture heavy and exams includes information straight from the PowerPoints. Online quizzes are T/F which made them slightly difficult. Your grade is a clear representation of your effort in his class!
A genuine professor. He provides his power points you follow him along within the lecture. True to his office hours and will break the content down to your understanding. If you don't study, you won't pass. Tests are detailed but fully straight from powerpoints. I found the class truly interesting and a pleasure to learn about.
Mr. Johnson is hands down the best professor that I have ever had at Tarleton state. He is one who works with you, he wants you to pass and will work with you to get where you need/want to be. One thing is don't be afraid to see him in his office, go over your test after its been graded, or ask him for advice, he has it all and wants to help.
Great teacher, the information can be challenging at times, but he is able to break down the material into more understandable pieces. If you still don't get the material he is easily accessible through email and office hours.
Professor Johnson gives insightful/informative lectures that truly help you on both homework and exams. Per exam, there are usually 50 questions + 2 bonus opportunities. Attendance is important. He gives you all the tools needed to ace his class and is more than willing to help you if you do not understand something. He gives exam reviews, too.
Even w/COVID-19, hes really passionate about his class and knows the material. Works with you and only wants you to succeed. Gives reviews that HELP w/quizzes & exams. No homework, make sure to go to class, he gives clicker points. Very understanding with life situations. Best professor by far and makes biology SO easy to learn and understand!
The best professor at Tarleton! He is willing to help you if you go to his office you can tell he loves microbiology. Gives us the notes and that is what will be on the test along with bonus points. Study the material and you should pass. I learned a lot!
Easy accessible, clear exam content and reviews. Makes them straight from class material and he is very compassionate about the material.
I took his Microbiology summer online class. He was an amazing teacher and helped me whenever I needed it. He really knows his stuff in the course and wants his students to succeed. If I were able to take him again I definitely would. If you work hard it will pay off.
Make sure you look for updates on canvas DAILY!!!! You will miss out on great opportunities. Do the extra credit work. It not only helps the grade but it also gave me an effective study strategy. Communicate with him and he will help you but DO NOT wait last minute.
Professor Johnson is a great teacher and cares that his students understand the material. He is a tough teacher sometimes, but if you put in the effort, you will thrive. He is also very funny and incorporates jokes and puns in his power points.
took him for a&p 1 and taking him again for a&p 2. Professor Johnson truly cares about his students. I enjoyed the class, even though there is a lot of material and it can go fast. Exams are straight from the powerpoints, homework is easy online through textbook website.
This professor doesn't teach, get ready to teach yourself. His tests are horribly worded, almost like he doesn't even know microbiology. If you don't know the powerpoints (notes) front to back you won't pass. There's no extra credit so don't get your hopes up. Nursing majors, if you can avoid it, take any one other than Terry Johnson.
Microbiology is a very hard course Mr Johnson will do what he can to make sure you understand the material and the rest is up to you Lots of studying Homework for each chapter and four exams Good luck
Amazing prof! Teaches well with a great attitude. Actively learn as you go b/c material is fast-paced. Use his study tips, and you will succeed. Caring, knowledgable, and approachable. ATTEND SI SESSIONS, and take advantage of resources! If you seek help and manage your time, there is no way you shouldn't get an A. Highly recommend Mr. Johnson!
Most of the students complained of Professor Johnson's class but in reality, none of them tried hard enough. When taking notes, I don't recommend printing out the powerpoints because it's harder to retain the information if you're not actively thinking and writing your own notes. The grade you get reflects the effort you put in. Very caring prof!
At first I really liked professor Johnson, but a week after school started I had a very tragic loss in my family leaving me at home for 2 weeks. During that time I tried keeping up with work but it was tough to understand. I emailed him about grades and he does not budge one bit. He always said ill drop your 2 lowest quiz grades. ended up dropping
He teaches so much faster than the other biology professors. I study with others in other classes and were a few chapters ahead and the lab does not line up. He has class quizzes for every lecture but they dont do anything for your grade. The lab usually helps me understand the concepts, but since were two weeks ahead it doesnt.
Mr. Johnson is awesome! The class does start off tough but if yo can hang around until the end you'll see he truly does care for his students and wants them to succeed. The exams get easier as you go, and he really appreciates those who actively engage with his lectures.
Dr. Johnson is a great professor, you can tell he truly cares for his students. In order to receive a good grade you HAVE to put in the work. I recommend getting the textbook and reading it outside of class, if you rely only on the powerpoints you miss out on understanding the concepts. Overall it is a harder class but Professor Johnson is amazing.
The class itself is pretty hard, but Mr. Johnson is an amazing teacher. The concepts taught in class are very well explained. Lectures are super important, take good notes, and you have to put in the work to get the grade you desire. He is very willing to help students and wants to see them succeed. Overall, a great professor!
Mr Johnson is a very nice professor and very helpful. However, he tends to go through lectures fast so dont try to write word for word on notes. Tests are very difficult and proctored so you have to study hard or you wont pass. However, quizzes are fairly easy.
His lectures are nothing like the quizzes or the exams he gives. The PowerPoints he posts do not have pictures, so you have to look up similar pictures online or even take pictures of them during class. He is super nice but does not really care about your personal life if something happens and need to miss class.
Great professor! Studying is required but effort goes a long way. He is extremely helpful and wants you to succeed. Utilize his office hours. Overall, a great class and great professor.
was this class one of the hardest classes I've ever taken? yes. BUT Mr. Johnson was an amazing teacher and cares so much about his students. being successful in his class is simple, go to class, take good notes and study as you go (don't wait till the last week). it's hard, but super interesting and you CAN make an A if you study and work hard!
I had Prof. Johnson for BIOL 2420 & BIOL 2402; he is an EXCELLENT professor. You can tell Prof. Johnson cares about his student's success & that he enjoys what he does. If you put in the work & pay attention in the lectures, you will do great in his class. Also, use the homework to your advantage. I received an A in both courses.
Prof. Johnson is a good guy, he cares for us students. The class itself is difficult and if you dont study you will not do well in the class. Exams are tricky, he will try to trick you, but if you know the criteria you will do fine. PAY ATTENTION TO LECTURES and you will do fine! Homeworks are helpful, doesnt match up with lab. PowerPoint notes.
If you are taking Microbiology 2420 with Johnson, I promise you that you are blessed with an awesome professor. Microbiology 2420 is not a class that you can blow off, you have to work hard for a good grade. Johnson explains the criteria clear and well to help understand for exams and homework. Do the work and study! Johnson wants you to succeed.
Professor Johnson is not a bad professor, he is really sweet and cares about his students. He gives you the opportunity to succeed but you have to study hard for tests. He doesn't do much teaching really just reads off the slides. He drops lots of grades and wants you to do well.
he flies through ppts at mach speed and will constantly tell you he wont test you in detail or over certain things, but he will. best chance is to MEMORIZE EVERY SLIDE. i'm serious. he’s super friendly and says he doesn't mean to be confusing, but everything is worded like a trick question despite his promises that he doesn’t do trick questions
3407- my biggest issue is he doesn't really take feedback from students he claims to make steps towards you and asks you to take steps towards him, which would be great if his steps weren't baby steps and our steps weren't full strides. I also have problems paying attention in his class because its at 8:00am and he is a very monotone slide reader
The prof doesn't thoroughly go through material, he glides through the powerpoints and doesn't seem to care about what his students think. He says our quiz grades count but even with all A's for quizzes the test (that carry no material from the lectures) plummet your grade. If you suffer from test anxiety, his class is not the way to go.
He ask his students to meet him half way, although he will not take into consideration what his students have to say when they express their concerns. Class quizzes are "taken for a grade" but do not reflect in the grade book. We are told to know all the notes too pass but he then states in lecture that "we don't need to know specifics". Good luck.
He doesnt take our concerns within the course seriously, all the grades come from tests and daily quizzes that he rarely has time for. He just reads the slides and when we ask questions he answers them by telling us to better our study habits and gaslights is into thinking were the problem he refuses to give reviews when tests cover 5+ chapters
One of the worst teachers ever he does not TEACH. he reads his PowerPoint word for word and contributes no effort to an additional understanding of the course. He will not help you outside of class and doesn't seem like he knows what he is teaching.
Hes a great professor who cares deeply about his students. He wants you to put in the effort and work hard. If you do this, it will pay off in his class. Read the guided notes you take in class and you will succeed.
He's a great professor who loves his job and cares about his students. He wants his students to do well, so do the work and study. His tests weren't too bad if you studied, as it may be a challenge for some. Pay attention to the powerpoints during lecture as he pulls questions from this material. Put in the effort, work hard, and you will succeed!
Horrible! Reads off slides/ wastes time underlining random words. Late to class daily. Verbal in-class quizzes are pointless and confusing. No assignments, grade is solely exams/class quizzes. Told us we just needed caffeine to pass the test. Says certain material won't be on exam, lies. Doesn't care about students. Cant answer students' questions
This course is very demanding, but not rewarding. He makes you purchase the textbook, but only for you to use it for the homework, which hardly helps and is a waste of money for students. Then for tests, he tells you to just memorize hundreds of powerpoint slides that he reads. Basically, you will stress more than learn in this class. Get a tutor!
Johnson's lectures are incredibly boring he just reads off of slides. The material is interesting but the lectures are boring. He is not lenient at all, no matter your circumstances. There is a quiz every single day. If you miss a class you get a 0.
He is a great professor. Attend his lectures, take notes, and do the class quizzes and you will be fine. His tests are difficult, but he provides you with all the information you need to succeed. His class quizzes are easy, just pay attention to the slides. Anyone complaining simply put no effort into the class.
Very kind man and I really enjoyed his class. He has quizzes as you go through and they help keep you engaged and thinking about the topic. It is a difficult class but he makes it a whole lot better!
good teacher. his powerpoints really help. exams have quizzes/homework questions. nice. go to class
His class was a fun class. Information was fun and he liked when people participated. It was very lecture heavy but if you study and understand the masterings you are fine. Lab was a blast as well.
He has a real passion for microbiology and it makes the class a lot more enjoyable. Show up and study the willey assignments and you'll be fine. Extra credit is offered on every exam.
Mr. Johnson brought me out of my struggle to love science. He teaches A&P so well and will stop during lectures several times to ask if anyone is confused/has questions. As long as you show up, take notes, and do the online work, you'll do great! I'm taking him again for A&P II.
I thoroughly enjoyed Mr.Johnson's class! So much so that I am taking him again for Anatomy II. Just show up to class, and do all of your work. He also always gives Extra credit on exams, and is very understanding. Highly recommend!
Awesome professor he dropped our lowest exam grade and some of our low assignment grades. Attendance isn't mandatory but he has a quiz every class that's like 3 questions long and sometimes its about class and other times he just does it to give credit for those who are there. So i would go to class.
I had Johnson for A&P 1 and the course itself is challenging, but he makes it as straightforward as possible, provides fill in the blank notes to go along with the power points, he cares about his students, don't skip, his tests are very straightforward, he sometimes says what specifically will be asked, he does drop 1 test and multiple assignments
He just wants you to pass the class. You have to be show up to lecture, there is an attendance quiz every day. The homework is online and easy to manage. The lecture tests are made from the homework. He also instructs some labs. Lab itself is not hard by any standard just show up. I took another prof and dropped to take micro with him, worth it!
The lectures can be dry, but engaging with the material and using resources like unstuck AI for study prep makes this class manageable. Attendance is a must, so be prepared to put in the work.
I loved his class he's very clear that the test are basically all the notes and thats so true, if you simply just study the notes you'll pass no problem, you have to go to class though he has a quiz every class.
The only reason I didn't learn more than I did in this course is my mind and discipline. Professor Johnson is a great teacher, extremely understanding, and I recommend him to any student who takes any biology.
Professor Johnson was great! He truly cares and wants you to succeed. Tests can be difficult, but He gives extra credit on every test. Every class you take an open book quiz, so make sure you are there. Go to class and study for tests and you will be just fine.
Would 100% take this professor again. I knew taking A&P ll as a 5-week summer class would suck, and I'm sure that if I had any other professor, I would've dropped it. This should not be allowed as a 5 week course. However, it was obvious he did absolutely everything he could to help us succeed. Responds/grades super fast!
He does drop grades and gives you a lot of opportunities to do good in class. Didn't have a problem with him but make sure you study for his tests.
Material was clearly and thoroughly conveyed in each class. If you attend class regularly you will do well on the test. Mr. Johnson is very explicit about what is on the test (lecture notes only}. His demeanor is always pleasant and encourages participation. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and would recommend him highly to future students.
I love Mr. Johnson, and that is really it. He made microbiology fun and easy, which helped me maintain a high grade. Make sure to take notes and actually study, especially for the extra credit sections. He posts all the powerpoints so it is simple really!
