Comment:

This class is very content heavy. There is a discussion due every week that consists of a 2 paragraph post and responses to 3 classmates. There is a paper due every other week and sometimes every week. There is an exam every week to every other week, which are multiple choice but extremely hard. This class is interesting, but time consuming .

Comment:

Very nice person, but in lecture, he explains things in ways that are more complicated than they need to be. For example, In stats class, I understood z-scores perfectly, but when professor Johnson taught them, I almost didnt turn in the homework at all. Again, nice, but his ability to communicate the subject in ways that I understand is flaky.

Comment:

While I admire the fact that I never had to study for any tests and the fact that his homework could be found in the book, he is way too critical of the way people write- I mean, c'mon; he's not an English teacher. His so called "exams" are all essay questions, and they're not even timed thankfully. Too much writing, too much time consumption.

Comment:

Mr. Johnson is a nice man and a good teacher. I enjoyed going to his class, but his tests were hard because they rarely pertained to what we learned in class. However, his classes are interesting and I enjoyed having him. Go to class, do the assignments that he asks, and read your textbook and you will do well.

Doesn't explain things well. If you don't already understand stats then you'll be lost. Tons of homework every week.

Good professor. He wants you to do good. The class is easy as long as you show up and take notes during lecture.

He's a good guy and he will try to help you if you need it but his class is definitely a grind due to how boring he is. I don't think I've doodled so much in my life.

Comment:

He is a very monotonous man and would repeatedly discuss the same thing every time we would meet for lecture. He DOES NOT grade things in a timely manner, so you never know how you are doing in this class, because the majority of the grading is papers that he assigns throughout the semester. He is not a terrible professor, but not the best either.

Comment:

Mr. Johnson was not a bad professor ; don't let the negative reviews scare you. He also graded things in a timely matter (at least for my class). We had weekly quizzes, which were easy if you read the book; his exams were also fairly easy if you put in the time to read. His lectures are long, but they're very informative. He's a good professor!

don't expect anything to be graded on time. he only talks about one thing and he gets way off topic. if you ask him a question theres a huge chance he will go on a 20 minute lecture but not ever answer your question. BORING

Comment:

I hated the teacher, and hated the class. Everything was repetitive and dull. He'd lecture on the same topic a hundred times and you have to these dumb writing assignments that he's a grades really hard. If you take him for careers in psych, you'll be learning how to get your doctorate from a man you could barely get into grad school and has no Dr.

Comment:

Pretty mono-toned, if you are an easy sleeper you're probably in trouble. He doesn't grade anything but the daily work so if you don't mind the fact that you pretty much know nothing about your grade until semester grades are released then not a problem. Unclear in his instructions for assignments, forgets to put IMPORTANT DETAILS in the syllabus.

Comment:

Monotoned. Even his jokes are dry. He tries to impress the students but I wasn't very inpressed. He gives a lot of quizzes. He gives a few papers throughout the semester and he relies alot on blackbored and won't remind you of any homework that is due. This should have been an easy class but boredom was my enemy.

Comment:

If you don't mind not knowing any of your grades until after you've taken the final, then you might like this professor. It is four days after the final & my midterm is still not even graded. He isn't very clear on what he wants for assignments either, but he will tell you exactly what he wanted when he grades it, after the final.

He never grades anything! I'm taking his final tomorrow and he still hasn't graded any of our stuff, including the midterm. If this class wasn't mandatory, I definitely wouldn't take him.

Comment:

Professor Johnson is a nice man. He has office hours and will talk about anything you need help with. Not a very good Professor. He lectures over things not related to the class. I took Experimental Psych and we didn't do statistics once. He also assigned a research paper the last week. If you take one of his classes you have taken them all.
