He is super!!! You need to stay on you toes to keep up with the work, but you will learn and you will be greatful in the end. He is very helpful, caring, and dedicated to teaching. I had two classed with him and he makes other teachers look lame.
Great teacher...Anatomy is difficult anywhere you take it, but Dr. Johnson makes it fun and really cares about the students.
No Comments
Excellent teacher, dedicated to students learning material. The material is hard and he has to move through it fast but he's developed a multitude of resources that students can use to learn and also to earn bonus points. They're fun and EXTREMELY helpful. If you've got to take anatomy take it w/"Docta J".
Extremely tough class -
Never worked so hard in all my life. Too much material. Learned just enough to spit it back out, but didn't retain much at all. Totally overwhelming. Extremely high drop out rate.
HE'S AWESOME!!! AND HILARIOUS LOTS OF STORIES R/T CONTENT, VERY FUNNY MAN
If you are a serious student you will do very well. This class takes a TREMENDOUS amount of work and dedication. Hard material...BUT Docta J is the best and is so helpful, you can't go wrong. Awesome professor!!!
Anatomy, The best! You won't regret taking it with him.
Awesome prof. Always there when you need him. I had him for a semester and this class, while it was long, was very enjoyable. I highly recommend him! Go Dr. J!
If you are complaining about the difficulty level, change your major. Dr J is THE BEST prof I have EVER had, and I have been to 2 other 4 year universities. He gives valuable learning resources and goes way above & beyond. B+ in this class and worked my little butt off for it! Thanks Docta!
Dr. J is an amazing teacher. He truly cares about his students and their progress in the class. He is extremely helpful and available to all his students. I took the class in the summer and I had to work my but off; it wasn't easy- but he was so positive and helpful the I did it. Don't take anatomy with anyone else but Dr. J.- be ready to work.
Docta J is the hardest professor I have ever had. I have never worked so hard, but gotten so much out of a class. Be prepared for 40-60 hours of work a week minimum. Use all of the resources he has to offer and take advantage of the multitude of bonus points he has available, and you will be fine. He wants EVERYONE to succeed! He is amazing!!
Dr J. is the best prof you will ever come across! He has the largest webct at CCRI! And if you have any problems he makes sure it is solved! He makes the lab available even when he doesn't have a class! In Dr J's spare time at home he is either answering e-mails or drawing new pictures so you can better understand the muscle origins and insertions!
Very entertaining, but if you have taken this class before at another school it can be extremely confusing. He teaches regional not by seperate parts. (as in whole upper half and whole lower half verses bone, muscle, veins..etc.) A ton of writing in lecture and a ton of memorizing for a single exam. Missing a class is not recommeded.
incredibly helpful, always answers email beyond prompt. very funny, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable. genuine interest in students.
Dr. J has a wonderful website to aid in learning anatomy.
By far the best proffesor I've had...makes a really hard subject more interesting and even fun at times.
Dr. J is an amazing teacher. He sincerely wants students to succeed, which is evident on his WebCT. He has SO many learning tools, and Dr. J is easy to approach and willing to help out any way he can. I highly recommend him.
The only negative about Dr.J is that after you take him, other teachers will seem lame in comparison. All the good stuff that you read here is true. He is known all over the state as an incredible prof whose students know their stuff. He is funny, enthusiastic, and caring, too.
Dr. J. is amazing but he can't learn it for you. Anatomy is hard. This class is a lot of work but his WebCT, humor, compassion, and responsiveness help get you through. Don't take this in the summer for 1st time. Don't take more than 1 other class with it-something easy. No blame game-you get out of it what you put into it, period.
Dr. John is one of the most dedicated professors I've ever met. He's is a wealth of information and shares it freely. You have to do the work and study. Plan on studying 40-50 hours per week for this class. Listen to everything he says and take notes, lots of notes. Take advantage of all the bonus points. If you get an A in this class NOBODY w
Dr. J is the best!!!The best Proffesor ever!! very helpful, he has so much energy, he loves what he does and i love him. i don't remember enjoing a science class so much. the jeopardy game is awsome i had so much fun and learn so much, good job Dr. J
Dr. J is the best professor I have EVER had- hands down. He explains everything clearly and keeps it so interesting. He says it right out that he wants everyone to pass. He encourages you to do well, stays positive about it and does everything in his power to help you! I have never learned so much from a class. I HIGHLY recommend his class!!!
He's the best professor I have ever had. You will learn soooo much!! Took him in the summer and he gives you so many resources to learn it's amazing!! I don't think I have ever learned so much in such a short amount of time. He is a true intellectual who cares about his students!
Dr J makes you understand, print his PP so many useful video's, crossword's ,lab is intense tutors rock.Be part of Dr J team know your Anatomy..
I recommend to take Anatomy with him. I am not good at sciences and I got a B- my first time taking this course with him. I'm retaking it to get my A, which I could've easily obtained if I had just taken some time to study more. You'd be stupid to take anatomy with anyone else except him. I dealt with the hour drive each way every week just to experience his class.
Dr. J may very well be the best teacher I have ever had. This class is hard and full of information, but he makes it as simple as possible for you. This is college so you need to put in the time and come prepared to lab. He offers lots of extra credit, posts his lectures online, and post videos of all the labs.Such a great teacher and nice guy
Great teacher! There are few that will prepare you like Dr J. He gives an abundance of material and resources to help you pass. Do your part and match his effort, and you'll do well.
Dr. J is by far the best professor I have ever had the privilege to meet. It is clear that he WANTS everyone to understand his material. He goes above and beyond in every aspect of his teaching. Labs, lecture, quizzes, extra credit and videos are all clearly related and useful. He has an incredible passion for teaching and it just radiates from him
Great professor,very helpful and extremely funny which helps. Taking this class is a lot of work and as long as you do the work and keep up on your extra credit you should be fine. Tell all your friends and family your life is over for a semester because you will not have time to have fun. It's study time!
GREAT teacher who gives you every possible resource imaginable to do well, great guy with a great personality- you will have to work HARD- it's not the material but the AMOUNT of material that's tough. If you dedicate all you have you will get an A- but you have to put in the time + effort. I wouldn't take it w anyone else!!
Best professor I've ever had! The class is hard but if you put in the time and effort, you will succeed! Dr. J gives his students all sorts of learning resources to help his students succeed (lab videos, crosswords, powerpoints, weblinks, etc.) Utilize all of the tools he provides and you will do GREAT!!
Very good
Does not understand learn disabilities. Not willing to work with a student who wants to learn the material.
Docta J was wicked awesome! He is always willing and able to help students and truly wants students to succeed in his class. He was recommended to me and I HIGHLY recommend him to you!
Dr. J is an absolutely amazing professor. You get out what you put into this class. It is not easy at all. Only do what you think you are capable of completing. I took the class with 3 others and it was tough. Dr. J keeps it interesting and he works with anyone that needs help. I wouldn't take this class with any other prof.
This class was so hard. I know everyone says that.. but I felt like I was having a mental breakdown every night studying. I actually broke down crying a couple times lol. Its just SO much... I really don't recommend the summer class. Dr. J was nice and pretty funny but I wasn't crazy about him. His online tools were great though!
Best professor ever!!!!!
During my semester of Anatomy, I liked Dr.J, but I didn't quite realize just how great he is. As I take physiology now, I have a good teacher, but I've come to realize just how rear of a professor Dr.J is. I wish he taught physio. His class is by no means easy, prepare to study and spend free time in the lab. But he goes out of his way to help .
Docta J has been the best professor I've had in my entire college carrier. He is extremely helpful, he is wicked funny, and he provides his students with countless resources. i will definitely recommend him. This has been the class I've learned the most in. He is toadally awsome!! (as docta j would say)
Dr.J has been the best professor I’ve had. He is extremely good at teaching, and it is visible that he enjoys it and takes it very seriously. I appreciate his sense of humor and how he combines anatomy with comedy. He makes his lectures fun and entertaining while being exceptionally informative. Dr.J is also very approachable and understanding.
Dr. J is amazing. Hardest class I've ever taken. He gives you the tools to pass. You have to put in work! Gives you opportunity to get extra points and plenty of lab time. Vids online, plenty of acronyms to remember what you need. I'm sad he doesn't teach phys. Great guy, "wicked smot", sense of humor. He was awesome!
Such an unbelievable man! Gives you every resource you could possibly imagine to help you in this class. While the material is quite difficult, the professor really does make a difference!
Dr.J is probably the best anatomy teacher you'd ever come across. Although the material is very hard you need to take the time to make sure you study and do your part because Dr. J does his part by helping out as much as he can and making the class as easy as possible!! I would recommend him to anyone!
Docta J is an amazing professor! His anatomy class is very hard but he does everything possible to help you pass. Lots of online study help, power points, videos and extra credit. Great sense of humor and very approachable. Wish he taught physiology, would highly recommend him!
Dr. J is an awesome teacher. I am horrible at all sciences & going for my associates in Dental Hygiene. Thank god for his class! It's anatomy, so it's tough, but he gives you MORE than enough extra study tools to help you pass, on blackboard. (videos, scrapbook) He's a goof ball and really spends time caring about helping his students do well!!
Dr. J is an incredible professor! I took the class in the summer for the first time, and that was a huge mistake, but Dr. J offered to withdraw me so it didn't affect my GPA. I'm taking it again now and I wouldn't have taken it with any other teacher. He gives you SO many resources to do well. Study & don't take it the first time in the summer.
Dr. J is an awesome prof... He gives you so many tools to pass his class. I would not recommend taking anatomy with anyone else but him. KEEP UP THE WICKED GOOD JOB!!
Dr. J is an excellent Professor! I have had to take his class twice, but it was due to my willingness to participate. This time around I am doing everything required and so far succeeding. This class is the most difficult I have taken yet, but I am confident that Dr. J knows his stuff. He is respectful of his students and is available when needed!
Debating on whether or not to take his class? YES. TAKE IT. Dr. J is wicked smart, funny, helpful, and kind. His quizzes are online (use your notes!) and his lecture exams include exactly what is on his powerpoints. His lectures are recorded if you miss a class. He does videos of lab dissections. He does practice labs. If you fail, you didn't try.
I wish I can select more tags to describe how awesome this Professor J is. He is super helpful, very puny, and very passionate about the subject he teaches. He is definitely there for you and give great feedback. I would recommend this professor to anyone! Prepare to read, as the the tests are definitely based on the book. Don't abuse his kindness.
great, really awesome teacher
He's a really awesome professor! He really wants everyone to pass and to be highly motivated! I totally recommend this professor!
Dr J is amazing. I switched majors since taking his class and still tutor people taking his class. Multiple choice/fill in the blank exams - nothing he hasn't gone over. You're grade is what you put into the class -he gives you the tools you need to pass. Makes class enjoyable and fun which makes things easier to learn! Lots of material so STUDY!
Dr. J is AWESOME. Taking Anatomy with him was the best decision I have ever made. He cares about every student and will do whatever he can to help. He provides endless resources to succeed and your job is to use them! I wish I had the priviledge of having more professors like him. I recommend this class and Dr. J to everyone that needs anatomy!
Not going to lie, this class is hard. Really hard. BUT Dr. J is the best professor I have ever had. He doesn't want anyone to fail. Always willing to help and goes above and beyond. Gives you all the tools to pass, you just have to use them. Be prepared to work, but you won't regret taking his class.
He provides you with enough resources to do well in the class. It is a time consuming class so if you have a job or are taking another class, this class will take up most of your free time if not all! Use flashcards, use his flashcards and study lots! For that semester you will breathe anatomy. He's great and keeps you engaged. Just put in the time
Dr. J is by far the best teacher I've ever had!! If you have the chance to take a class with this man, take it!! It's a very difficult class but he truly wants you to do well. If you put in the effort, you'll do great!
Dr. Johnson is a great professor. He is clear about what will be taught in lecture and lab, and what work ethic is to be expected of students. BIO1010 (human anatomy) is a tough subject, but he gives students plenty of resources to learn the material. He also supplies many extra credit/bonus points.
Dr J, is by far the best teacher I've ever had! He is very specific about what he wants us to learn and helps us understand the material. He has a lot of resources to help his students do well in the course. He truly wants his students to succeed! He is very fair, if you study you will pass the class! He is awesome. I definetly recommend him!!
Dr. J cares deeply about how much his students learn and engage in anatomy. He emphasizes participation and encourages questions. Importantly, he always makes time for his students despite teaching 2 anatomy lectures at different schools in the same semester. You get as much from this class as you put in. Take it - it's amazing!
Hardest class I've ever taken but he made you want the A!!
Dr. J is a great professor. He clearly cares about his students and goes above and beyond to help you understand the material. It's a tough class but he makes it worth it. You definitely need to attend class, and the lectures can be a struggle to get through but there's plenty of extra credit available. I highly recommend Dr. J's class.
He gives you so many chances to get good grades. The lectures are online and he has videos to watch on the dissections if you missed one. Always jokes around and makes class bearable.
Weekly online quizzes which are 12% of your grade. Lecture is TOUGH. STUDY SUDY STUDY!!! almost impossible to get an A in this class. Definatley buy the lab companion and the greys anatomy for students! lecture companion is not as important. Keep on top of the work and go to class. He ALWAYS gives extra bonus points.
He's AWESOMEEEEEEE
Dr J is by far one of the best Professors that I have had while at both URI and CCRI. His Anatomy class is amazing though both lab and lecture are difficult he helps you in as many ways as possible to make sure you pass. Just be prepared to study 2-3 hours a night because there is a lot of information to learn and take in. Awesome professor
Extremely good professor. Very funny. Helpful, and willing to answer any questions you may have. Must be willing to put in A couple hours of studying a day, although a very good professor, it is difficult work-- I would not have been able to survive, if it was not for this professor !!
Dr J is a wonderful teacher. I was most impressed by how he seemed to remember everyone's names, despite having over a hundred anatomy students at the start of the semester through the different sections, and seemed to be ready with an encouraging word to each. Fantastic professor--don't take anatomy with anyone else.
Mr. Johnson, by far is the best college professor I've had during my entire time in college. because of my full time job I needed to leave the country for 3 weeks mid semester. with 10 to 12 absences, Mr. J went completely out of his way to help me anyway he could up until the final exam to help me pass the class. And he's got a sense of humor.
Dr. J is the best professor Ive ever had. He wants all his students to succeed. I am married, work full time, and I have two children. You can get an A if you put the time and effort in. If you are afraid of the cat its really not that bad.
Dr. J is a great professor. He gave me hope after I didnt do so good on the first exam ! You have 3 lecture exams & 3 lab practical exams. Find your way of learning and studying and see whats best for you! Very tough class but if you Study his lectures and go to lab and you will pass .
Well, this is a very hard class no matter the professor. Dr. Johnson makes the lectures enjoyable and gives lots of resources online through video and power points. There are also free tutors available to help! This is an amazing Prof. take advantage of all the extra credit and help!
Best teacher I have ever had. Unfortunately I cant take his lecture because of work, but his lab is amazing. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and their success in his class. He will do anything he can to help you if youre struggling. He knows his stuff and hes funny (or at least tries to be) Thank you Dr. J you truly are wicked
I loved taking Dr. J's class. It was a summer class so it went by fast but he definitely gives you everything you need to succeed. If you don't study and put the work in, you won't pass. Use all of the online material he gives you, it really helps. Lots of extra credit during lectures!
by far the best professor I've ever had. he's funny, kind and really wants the best for you. his class isn't easy but he gives you the resources to succeed. I can't recommend him enough. he provides tons of resources via blackboard and is always replying to his emails. he also gives lots of extra credit. I would 100% take him again.
Everything is online a head of time- lectures and powerpoints. He gives multiple chances to earn bone us points. He is smart and kind! He wants everyone to succeed. All lab material is posted online as well.
I had DrJ during covid switch HE WAS AWESOME! it was tough to switch over and he really stepped up! He wants everyone to pass , gives so much opportunity for extra credit!
Dr. J is one of the best Professors I have ever had. He cares about his students doing well. The class is not easy but if you study you can pass. He uses powerpoint recordings and if you attend his lectures he will give you extra credit. He will work with you to help you.
William Johnson is a caring, kind professor who really wants you to succeed. Taking advantage of notes and bonus credit he gives to you is really important. I loved his class a lot
Class is very time consuming between homework and preparing for quizzes/exams but I will say Prof. J truly cares that you learn and offers many ways to get/keep your grade up. extra credit for attending live online classes, some quizzes can be taken until you receive 100. Lots of work but worth it!
Dr J is very thorough and wants you to learn the material. gives you every opportunity to not only pass but pass with a A. gives extra credit. Unlimited attempts on some quizzes. Practice quizzes. essay questions for exams are given to u ahead of time. It's alot of work in a summer session but doable. finished with A- & he let me redo exam for A!
Dr. J is the best anatomy professor one could ever ask for. He is kind, funny, easy going, and extremely knowledgable. You have to try hard to fail his classes. I have had him for A&P1 and 2 and both times were equally fantastic.
Dr.J is an amazing professor by far the most funny and caring professor i have had. A and P I is not an easy class but Dr.J does everything possible and will explain the material until you understand. If you go to class and study at least 1-2 hours a day for this course you will pass. He gives many opportunities for extra credit.
Dr. J has been my favorite professor in college ever even though sciences are not my favorite subject. He is funny, responds instantly, and will go over things 1,000 times if you need him to. I commuted 45 minutes twice a week just to attend his class and he always understood whenever I couldn't. Also offered so much extra credit! He is the best (:
Dr. J is a fair & understanding professor that provides enough opportunities to do well in his class. There is a good amount of work in his class, with lecture quizzes followed by an exam and 2 practical exams. With that, he is always available to ask questions and provides ample opportunities for extra credit.
Beware; avoid this professor at all costs. Horrible. I earned a B because I would literally study for 16 hours a week .You will be working with cats in the lab. Mind you, this is the only professor that does this for lab; you will be expected to memorize every muscle, nerve, & so on from several perspectives. Save yourself & avoid this professor.
Wicked! He is a very nice person but I wouldn't recommend taking a course with him.
So good! Loved so much.. so funny as well, hahaha!!
Every 2 weeks, he would assign nearly 14 different essays to his students to write in preparation for an exam with a randomly selected topic. Everyone was therefore required to write them all in advance since, as he stated, you should copy and paste one of the essays onto the test. Having 30 mins on the exam, two essays, 10 fill-in questions. Foh!
If you did bad in Dr. J's course, it's your own fault. The course is tough, but Dr. J is great. Study and ask for help and you will do well!
Best professor at CCRI, he is always there to answer your questions
Dr. J is a very dedicated, caring professor, his grading system is very fair and clear. Every lecture and lab was organized, he would make sure everyone understood the material and was there for any assistance, even beyond school hours. It's important to show up every class and do the work, as this goes a long way with his grading system.
