Reviews of professor Benjamin Johnson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Make no mistake, 341 is tough. But Dr. J made the process as good as possible. Hes got a ton of passion during lecture, his would you rathers genuinely helps improve student focus midway into class. Always listened to students when online learning hiccups arose. Very fair exams. One of the best professors at UMBC and overall an amazing person.

He is a terrible professor and has never responded to one email I have sent him the entire semester. He does not show up for the online lectures most of the time and he never follows through on anything he says he is going to do. IP law is interesting but he made this class awful. Do not take him!!

If you are not into research, this class will be pretty annoying. However, online lectures are very clear, and you learn a lot about this side of advertising. He will reply to messages within 1 hour. There is a group project, this is the most important grade for this class. You choose a "client" and campaign to work on during the whole semester.

Best. COMSI. teacher. EVER. Johnson is awesome, nice, funny, and always is down to help students. He doesn't care if you come to class he just cares about your work being yours and you being honest. As long as you practice and go into office hours or email him. You will pass, go in for TA help and read the lecture slides before class.

Should not have taught this year or given class to a different Professor. Old recorded lectures. Lectures mostly concepts even though test mostly coding. Not available due to medical reasons. Got home works back VERY late, so couldn't use them for test. Got midterm back on day of final. I mean come on. Tried going to office hours but not enough.

He was a very good teacher and explained all the concepts within the class very well. Taking him again for 341, We'll see how that goes but my first experience with him was very great.

What do I say about a person that never taught us anything the whole semester? Absolutely worst experience that I have had in my academic career. Literally unreachable. I understand he had a medical condition, but should have made a bit more effort to be reachable. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE.

He's a decent teacher. Difficult? Yes. If you're taking a full-time course load i would not recommend. However, if you're only taking like 2-3 classes I think you'll be okay. His homework and exams are hard.

He's nice and said he wanted to teach but he needs help. He doesn't know how to attach files to an email in 2020?? . Unlike a lot of other instructors though he does fess up when he messed up re our schedule and will not plow ahead so there is that.
