Very knowledgeable and engaging. The class was interesting and applied to real-world issues. Johnson cares about her students and wants them to do well. Participate, and you will get a good grade.

I loved this class. Prof is very intelligent and equally kind. Would 100% recommend this class and prof to anyone. There are many readings but I'd consider this fair as the class meets once a week (and they are interesting). Attend class, participate, and do the assigned readings and you will do well.

Dr. Johnson is extremely insightful and knowledgeable about environmental public policy. Although there a lot of readings and the discussion posts can be time-consuming, I really enjoyed the class. She gives you 3 absences for a class that meets once a week. Heavy with group work and discussion. If you participate, you will get a great grade.
