Taking this course with V. Johnson can be frightening. He calls on students at random to solve problems. This can be difficult because he teaches at a fast pace. The tests were easy, and comparable to the review. The labs for this course were long and difficult to understand, however it is possible to get through them. Good luck.

The tests are nothing like the review. Hell go over the exam review but nothing was on there . I studied everyday ! Terminology the power points. Hes also a tough grader . A really hard class I learned a lot but felt like I could of gotten a better grade if he made the tests like the PowerPoints or exam review

Zero chance for extra credit. Great professor, but you have to work hard. Chemistry has tough some concepts, so pay attention. I made a B with a 2 week Mayterm course, and was happy with my grade. He explains during his live sessions that he will not hand out an A, and to not beg for it. If you don't like your grade, then drop the class. Try again.

Dr Johnson has clear expectations for work and communicates thoroughly. We had online "office hours" daily where he would answer questions and review material. Work hard and stay on track. Take advantage of opportunities for easy points by turning work in on time. Study hard for tests. Chem isn't easy for me and Dr Johnson was a great professor.

Dr Johnson is the best chemistry professor! Took this class online. He is clear on his expectations and gives assignments and quizzes that can boost your grade. STUDY HARD FOR THE TESTS! If you study, there is no reason not to pass with at least a B. I took this class Summer I and made an A. It was A LOT of studying but so worth it!

There are three midterm exams, one final exam, participation grade, terminology submission, and easy review assignments that you just have to sign and submit. Also, labs were all online. Reviews are similar to tests, but not exactly the same! Make sure to study hard for the exam. Lock Down Browser required for midterm and final exam.

If your passion is something you lack for this subject, then this professor is for you. He has so much passion for Chemistry and it is contagious. He gives amazing lectures, is great about real world application, and cares greatly about his students grasping difficult concepts and being successful. 100% would recommend this gem of a professor!

I really enjoyed this class. He explains everything well and gives you every chance possible to improve on your grades. You can really tell that he cares about the students and doesn't make you waste time on info that is not relevant. Easy A if you do the required work and work on the problems diligently and listen to his lectures.

Don't get me wrong, he's very nice, but I am giving him a low grade due to the fact that he is invading his student's privacy. His exams are proctored. He makes you show him your house before you can even start the exam. It made me very uncomfortable. If you are on campus take his class. If online, DO NOT. If you want a sure A, take someone else.

Dr. Johnson does care about his students, there are three exams, a comprehensive test and chapter quizzes. Labs are self explanatory and offers recorded lectures on how to do them at home. Daily office hours from 12-1 if students have any questions.

Professor Johnson is one of the best Professor out there. I took his 8weeks class during spring. 3 tests, 1 final, 9 chapter quizzes and 10 labs super easy to do. Chemistry isnt easy but he makes it super easy for you to understand. Always available outside of class. Easy A if you work for it. tells you what to study for test. super caring !!

Dr Johnson is a fantastic and engaging teacher. The class is extremely well organized; the information is presented in a clear manner. I really appreciated that he gives such thorough reviews; nothing on the exams will surprise you if you pay attention to the outlines. He also gives grades back promptly and makes himself available for questions.

As I am typing this, I have not completed the course but I have to give Dr. Johnson his props because he is an amazing professor. Chemistry is a challenging subject, but the way he educates is phenomenal. He gives examples on how you can make sense of some tough concepts during lecture and lab is enjoyable most of the time. I am happy I chose him!

He gives you all the criteria needed for his exams. I took the 8 week course and made a A. There are quizes and assignments every week, but its not hard! Honestly just show up to the lectures/labs and take notes and study if needed. Super easy class and the professor is funny. Definitely one of the best in person classes I've taken!

Professor Johnson has the class very well organized. Chemistry was not an easy subject for me but Professor Johnsons recording lectures taught me so much. You do have 3 proctored exams and quizzes that are due almost every week but as long as you look over the lectures and powerpoints you will succedd!

Dr. Johnson's material is very organized, and expectations are clearly communicated. It was an online class, and he was accessible to help or answer questions. His tests are pretty straight-forward... if you worked the practice problems and did the assignments, you'll be ready for the exams. Be sure to watch the recorded lecture videos.
