Reviews of professor Mary Chen-Johnson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
it's dull as can be. It seems as if she trying to prove her self by being boring and rough grader. She has very high standards for a introduction class, and she doesn't really connect as a teacher. So far she just assignment over 30+ to read plus mandatory movies 1 hour or longer. Not including a long complicate final, makes no sense.

The workload is very uniform (same thing due at the same time every week) and relatively easy to complete. The readings and films she assigns are sometimes unnecessarily long, but are very helpful when completing the quiz or discussion post, no outside studying needed. Her grading is a little vague but still fair. Overall a good, respectful prof :)

I've always been strong in English, getting primarily A's and B's. However, when I took her class, she was a very strict grader and liked things done a certain way which made the work very difficult. She did not take into consideration that other classes require a fair amount of time as well, not just hers. I was very disappointed in my grade.

Assignments are pretty easy to do. Two weekly online quizzes due during the week. A 2-4 page essay for the midterm and final. They're pretty easy to complete and don't take long everything is worth a lot of points so If you forget to do even one or two assignments or miss a class and don't know the answers, you are missing out on a ton of points.

Professor Chen-Johnson was great. There were two open-book quizzes per week, but I don't think my grade would've turned out the way it did without the 10 point extra credit assignments she provided each week. The final for this class was fun though! and we got to meet many different artists throughout the quarter. Overall a great class!

Not clear about expectations. Online course was structured very poorly on canvas.

Tests are 3.5 hours long and questions are very vague. Assigns films that are very long and very violent. She writes everything in all caps and all of the information is very overwhelming. She over complicates feedback and instructions, so it is difficult to decipher exactly what she wants.
