The best prof I've ever had. You can tell she really cares about her students and their success. This class really is what you make of it, she gives you all the resources and readings. If you want to come to lecture unprepared, you'll prob be fine. But if you want to get the most of this class, engage in discussion and even just skim the readings.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Johnson is overall a good professor. However, the only thing I disliked about the course was that only four assignments primarily determined your grade. Two exams, one individual project, and a paper. I also felt that exams were written without clear and concise answers to some of the questions. Grades also took forever to receive.Rate My Professors ↗
The topic of this course is interesting, Professor Johnson is nice, and the lecture is fun. The only thing I hate about this course is that it grades based on two exams, a comic + analysis, and a paper. And the TA grading assignments is a little harsh.Rate My Professors ↗
Prof Johnson is great. Super interesting class material and unique assignments/discussions. Class and readings are both interesting. You can do well without going to lecture or doing the readings tbh but I usually wanted to go. Class let out 10 minutes early most of the time!Rate My Professors ↗
What a great professor! She is easy to listen to and I found lectures to be super interesting and fly by. The assignments are not hard or demanding and there is an emphasis on learning which I appreciated. Take this class!Rate My Professors ↗
I feel like this wasn't even a college course. It was basically communication-related vocabulary lectured at us in class, then a stale, surface level discussion of its application in discussion. very boring, but easy A. Johnson seems nice enough, but i was bored all semesterRate My Professors ↗
