Comment:

One of the most honest professors I've ever met. He doesn't speak to us like a child but an adults and tell us like it is. Very informative and funny, class/labs are very entertaining. I would take him again just gotta do the work and pay attention. Just gotta talk to him and let him know what is going on he is very understanding and caring.

So heres the thing, Mr Johansson is gonna make your first 2 weeks of Bio 3 Do or Die situation.. this is how he weeds out the ones that dont want to put in the work to pass the course! After that if you go to ETC and study regularly and manage your time you will do just fine! I have never had a more passionate professor! He truly loves his job! �

Comment:

Currently taking Johansson for a 4week course. There have been A LOT of assignments. You MUST manage your time wisely. This class is not for those of you that are trying to get away with minimal effort. Johanson LOVES what he teaches and wants to put your brain to the test. Follow directions, have a positive view, & you'll be successful. Good Luck!

Very passionate about what he's teaching. If you show up to lecture and take notes, you'll pass the class. He's a funny guy, sometimes he'll come off as aggressive but all around he's cool. The homework isn't very bad at all, just don't leave it for last minute and you're fine. Tests can contain a few odd questions, but aren't hard to study for.

He's good at teaching and funny. The class is easy to understand, but there's a lot of time-consuming work. He treats students like high school kids. Doesn't like people taking pictures of slides in class.

Comment:

First, a warning. He will yell the first few lectures to get his points across, but he's a real softie after that. He WILL NOT accept late work and is very strict with his instructions. He uses blue door labs (online subscription) instead of a textbook. It's an easy class to pass as long as you pay attention and take good notes. The etc also helps.

Comment:

First of all he might yell the first day just to get the point across he makes it clear you are not babies and need to be accountable for your stuff when obviously we are in college!!! Other than that dont try copying his power points he gets mad but I would just write or type what he would say thats whats really gonna be on the exams!!

Johansen is definitely one of a kind. He is himself and doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. I was scared to take this class and a little intimidated by him at fist but he is an awesome professor and his class isn't that hard if you pay attention and study.

Comment:

Personality wise this man is hilarious and I love his class. However, it's extremely difficult at times because of how lecture-driven this class is. Labs are straight forward and simple, but if you aren't paying attention exams in this class will rip your grade apart.

Comment:

Absolutely amazing professor, if you're offended easily, don't read instructions, or don't like loud people this definitely wouldn't be the class for you. He is very passionate about what he teaches and while he comes off as aggressive or mean, he's an absolute teddy bear. Get ready to laugh and study. You NEED to attend lectures as well.

highly recommend this teacher, he is passionate about the subject and engages the student. gives a fair amount of homework, you'll pass as long as you do it and pay attention. He allows us to use our notebooks for exams, so make sure you take good notes

By Far the most passionate and interesting teacher I've ever had the pleasure of being taught by. His lectures are phenomenal and his labs were a ton of fun. Super easy class, just make sure to show up and pay attention. He picks on students but its all just fun and games. I felt really comfortable in his class at all times. 100/10 would take again

He is aggressive and the most unprofessional teacher I've ever experienced. Very sexist and authoritative. Most days I wondered about his mental sanity. Never again!

He isn't that great. As a teacher he's okay. But his comments borderline racist, sexist, and generally offensive. He says he won't teach like a high school teacher but my elementary bio class was harder than his class.

Comment:

Carl comes off very aggressive, but is just very passionate about his class. He'll expect you to show up and do the simple assignments. If you do you should have no problem getting an A, if you don't expect a D or F. His lectures are amazing and i learned more about science than biology from them. Carl cares more about your education than anyone.
