Reviews of professor Marcus Johnson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I went into this class learning nothing about politics so if that sounds like you, you have to really pay attention to his lectures. If youre a slow writer dont bother trying to take notes cause you wont be able to keep up and pay attention. Also get ready to read a bunch of articles. Hes very nice and understanding.

Professor Johnson is a homie. I'm not a big political science person or a politics person in general but his style of teaching made me actually start to pay more attention to what was going in the political world. A lot of reading but nothing too crazy, and his assignments are pretty straightforward. Overall a really cool dude.

Prof Johnson makes the course complicated with the way he teaches. Theres so many 20+ page readings that you might be tempted to skip, but at the end theres a 4-6 pg paper on a few of them. If this isn't your major stick w/ a different professor or simply take a lower level course in this subject.

Professor Johnson's class can make someone who is not interested in Politics start to become more involved. He's also just an incredible guy that you will want to be friends with. No tests, a few papers that are definitely manageable and readings.

Overall, a really good professor, he's understanding of everyone's issues that come with learning in a pandemic. Really an amazing professor who wants everyone to learn and take something away from the class instead of just pass. Be prepared to write a lot of reflection papers though.

Great guy. Really has every student's interests at heart. Lot of readings but you can get away without doing them.

Prof Johnson is one of my favorite professors so far. He tried to make the class more appealing to those just trying to get required courses down. I usually skim the readings but there are several interesting articles. You just have to show up to class for "participation".

Overall, professor Johnson is an amazing guy. This class was in-particular difficult, but it was his first time teaching this course, and the topic itself its quite nuanced in race, ethnicity, and constructivism. He gives papers, academic papers to read and group projects. He's passionate about teaching. I hope he gives a vocab sheet & easier notes

Best professor - very caring and passionate on the subject. If you're taking this class to fulfill the curriculum he is a MUST - easy A. All you have to do is do well on his EASY essay, participate (a little), and show up to class (if you're a little late he's VERY lenient). Overall 10/10 professor
