Reviews of professor Brian Johnson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Class structure based heavily on lectures related to questions that the students have. The class is graded on 6-7 Reflection papers, some pop quizzes and a final. Professor Johnson is honest and hardcore about the truth. He is caring for the. students, well-versed in his field of study and is very cultured. This class is not for the faint of heart.

While new to teaching this class (I assume), Prof Johnson certainly exceeded my expectations. He makes the class interesting and wants everyone to succeed. His class is very chill, but I think that is just how 290 is. Exams are short and easy, and he even offers credit for correction. My biggest complaint is he doesn't use Canvas.

I took him in Winter 2021. Professor Brian is cool and considerate. There were just a lot of home works in pearson, but I guess it's just how the elearning pearson works.

Professor Johnson is very straightforward and really explains material very well. He gives out lots of review sheets before the exams and those help tremendously when studying for the exams. The exams are similar to the review sheets and the professor goes over the review sheets as well. The class is only graded on homework, exam, and finals.

I liked taking his class, and it's easy to do the papers if you just write more than 3+ pages. This class has many ideas that not everyone agrees with, so keep an open mind and participating really makes the class interesting.

As someone with dyscalculia, I was terrified to take a stats class and was worried I would fail. Professor Johnson's class had been so easy, that I felt silly to be worried. He is available out of class and uses statcrunch, which is a god sent & grade saving program! Best grade I've gotten in math since I was a freshman in highschool!

Summer '24 course - Very solid professor, made Linear Algebra very easy to get, especially with all the proofs. Grading was just the exams and hw. Would give partial points if he saw your thought process. While class was graded on 3 hw and 3 exams w/final, he went over exactly what was on exams and hw hardly strayed from what was tested on.
