Reviews of professor Karen Johnson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Not the best at lecturing and explaining concepts, but very understanding and always willing to go over topics again until everyone understands. Never gives homework and will bump your test grade up if you go review it with her. Overall very nice person and decent teacher

Decent teacher. This was her first year teaching here and she got better as the semester went on. On the tests that everyone in IT168 takes, she would make our grades better if she felt she didn't teach something properly. This class is somewhat challenging no matter what teacher you take tho

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Pretty good professor. Goes off topic alot, but not the strictest grader and pretty understanding.

Overall, this is an easy class if you're looking for your SMT requirement. Dr. Johnson tells great stories to liven up her monotone lectures. She reads word for word off the slides (she posts them on reggienet). Tests are online. She is extremely accommodating if you attend all her lecture and labs. Labs were not relevant to course material.

Dr. Johnson "prepares" her students by reading directly off poorly designed slides and expects her students to do well on programs/exams despite spending the whole lecture reviewing the upcoming schedule rather than actual examples of code. There was not ONE time she actually programmed in class and I can honestly say I learned 50x more from my G.A
