Reviews of professor Peri Johnson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Islamic Art and Architecture class that fell flat. Prof. Johnson is not a natural lecturer and is almost too knowledgable that she is very rarely able to be understood when it comes to art critiques (boring). Grading is not too tough, but she is super critical nonetheless. At least 2-3 reading before each class which meets 3x a week. Go to lectures

The course suffers due to covid and masks making it harder o hear her at the end of the room. The first exam review isn't too helpful. Also expects you to come up with 10 essay ideas for only 2 of the actual questions to come up on said exam?? She could have just assigned 2 questions for better preparation. I wish I could've backed out sooner

Prof. is clearly very passionate, but not good at teaching the basics. Rather than teaching at the level of the class (a 100 level introductory course), she instead goes out of her way to talk around the point and deconstruct the concepts, without actually spending time on what she's trying to deconstruct. Also, very performative, reactionary woke.

Do not take this class even if it's just too complete a Gen-ed course. During midterms weeks 99% of the class was confused, angered, and bothered by her teaching. She is inadequate to teach and should be terminated. She is the reason why students get stressed. Stay away, I repeat stay away from this class.

all this woman does is lecture and shes not even very good at it. she focuses a lot on detail to the point where shes handing out grades that are .33/.35. I definitely would not recommend taking this class with her. there is also a lot of reading and most of it is elitist so they just throw in a bunch of big words that are unnecessary.

She waxes on about gatekeeping and injustice in art, but proceeds to personally contribute to it. She is unable to convey the most basic topics of art history, and instead lectures almost exclusively on how the concept is bad and wrong. Performative, reactionary, and possessed of extraordinarily terrible organization and time management skills.

To be honest, Prof. Johnson is serious about Ancient Egypt history and I love hearing her geek about it. She has a lot to share that she doesn't realize the amount of content is a bit much. I didn't even know the basic Egyptian deities yet it felt like we had to know them beforehand. My only complaint is that the exams were just writing essays.
