Reviews of professor Joseph Johnson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
just so nice and kind and caring. unlike some in the French Department he cares more about if u r trying/responding to his feedback (not just level of French coming into his class) and he gives good and clear feedback! pop quiz once in a while (mostly vocab based) very welcoming during class discussion, which can be scary in a second language.

Super nice and approachable, class is relatively easy but be ready to participate, and if you make an effort, you'll do well in class

Professor Johnson is quite caring and knowledgeable. He also doesnt really take off points for grammar mistakes, so if the ideas in your essay are good, you will do well.

Professor Johnson is one of my favorite professors at Georgetown. He was always so entertaining and invigorating and made reading medieval French literature fun. He is so passionate about his work, and it makes all of his students equally so. He is a kind grader. Take Professor Johnson!

Professor Johnson made me love French again after having very bad experiences with other professors at Georgetown. He's so passionate not only about French, but about teaching it. 2 mid-term essays, daily reading responses (100 words), and a final project/essay. Super doable assignments, made even more pleasant by his discussions during class.

This class is awful. I thought I understood everything; I took good notes during lecture, I had no problems with the homeworks or labs, and then the midterm hit. 40%. Same story with the final, but I did improve to 60%. The midterm and final have material never even mentioned in lecture or lab. Engineers, prepare to start out with a tanked GPA.

Professor Johnson is an amazing teacher, and really cares about his students. There is a lot of reading, but no more than any other French class. Absolutely would take his class again.

A lovely man and the best French teacher I've had. The amount of reading was manageable and expected of an advanced class, helped by the fact that he is a kind grader who genuinely wanted everyone to do well. Quizzes, midterms, and other projects all laid out in the syllabus. Always super enthusiastic and made classes fun and not scary. Take him!

Professor Johnson is the best! He's extremely approachable and truly wants the best from his students. He's also really excited about literary analysis and the subjunctive. He is incredibly helpful both in class and during office hours. Definitely take a class with him if you have a chance.

Attendance isn't taken during lectures and he posts all the notes online so you don't have to go if you don't want to, but he explains things fairly well. Nothing special though.
