I had him for both intermediate micro and sports econ, and I thought he did a great job of keeping people engaged in both classes. His exams/problem sets are not the easiest, but he cares about his students and offers a TON of office hours. I definitely recommend taking a class with him!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2040484","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:45:00.394072+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMwMDIzMjY3","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2040484","instructor_name":"David Johnson","course_label":"ECON390","course_id":"ECON 390","course_uid":"course_6d73053cf52090039c56ff08","review_date":"2018-05-08 12:12:49 +0000 UTC","comment":"David Johnson is a very good professor!

The workload was really heavy at the beginning and middle of the semester but the end is pretty light.
