Reviews of professor Michael Johnson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is seriously so unorganized. Yes it's nice to be able to get out by Thanksgiving, but he gives you a ton of quizzes in a week, hard listening in class quizzes. This class was supposed to be easy, but it turned out to be super stressful. He has no syllabus with dates, so that makes it extremely hard. He is very passionate about his class though.

Be ready to participate in class!!! Read textbook prior class and be ready for a class discussion. Seems mad all the time, but super funny professor. I'd recommend sharing a textbook rather than buying your own.

Professor Johnson has a terrific and charming personality, his lectures are entertaining but often fall into monotony. The nearly 3 hour class consists of roughly an hour of discussing the assigned chapter and two hours of arbitrary conversation. He grades you solely on attendance and 2 exams. The exams are easy however.

Great professor, no excuse not to pass as he is readily available and seeks to actually help his students out.

He is terrifying, and I was afraid to talk to him, and he will pick on you so you can participate, and there is homework all the time and a lot of reading. There is a group project very easy. I had him face to face but then had him online due to the Corona Virus.

Hes a bit weird. Make yourself stand out. Participate, and hell like you. He has an interesting sense of humor so dont get offended. I enjoyed his class because we discussed a lot of things as a class. He gives you the answers to the final and midterm. Easy

This was a points based class for non-music majors. Johnson understands that non-music majors aren't all that interested and just want to pass so he makes it as easy as possible to get an A. Gave lots of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester and made it easy to make up tests that you received bad grades on.

Participation matters! You have to actively raise your hand and speak like you know what you're talking about, as far as concepts from the book to get a good grade. Only graded on participation, 10 page research paper, group presentation, and weekly online posts about the book. Be prepared to spend a lot of time annotating the book to be prepared.

Funny professor and calls you by your last name. Class grade is based on one midterm and one final. SUPER EASY CLASS. You don't have to pay attention in class because he'll give you the study guide with the exact same questions that's gonna be on the exams. ATTENDANCE counts towards your grade! Sucks that he keeps us in class for the full 2hrs+.

Great professor! Hes very enthusiastic and makes the class super easy for non-music majors. If you take all the quizzes and do good on them you should be able to be done with the class right before thanksgiving break and hell count you present the rest of the semester
