Reviews of professor Luke Johnson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Luke is amazing! Even though it is a lot of homework, you HAVE TO show up for class, HAVE TO participate in class activities, and he has strict deadlines, he is VERY reasonable, and genuinely wants to help you succeed. Communication matters, so its all in YOUR hands to succeed, or have an extension when needed- he is there to help!

Professor Luke is dope! Totally reasonable, keeps it real and is even kind of funny sometimes. Indeed, you must play a little UX game in class every week. It would be easy to fall behind skipping too much; Luckily, it's mostly painless. Satan help you if you get a bum deal on teammates for the group project: you're stuck with em all semester.

Class 2 units, but really there is so many assignments as for 3 unit class. I think for students who take like 5 classes - it's need to be mentioned. Other than that he is good prof, he knows what he is talking about. I have 2 projects done for portfolio at the end. He is helping after class and very responsive on emails.

It is a challenge to understand what Professor Johnson wants. He is unclear, indescriptive, and berating. If a project is not to his liking, he may ask you to make unreasonable changes. He makes it a point to share examples of work that he doesnt like and wont hesitate to share those examples with the class.

Easy A as long as you are communicative. Homework is easy. Cool about extensions, open to feedback, seems to genuinely care about teaching, which is refreshing. The only thing is you HAVE to show up. There are group activities EVERY class. The group project is a beast. Grades tough on the final but gives a week to correct and re-submit

This Professor cares. He clearly loves each of his students and cares for them more than one would normally expect from a professor. It can be seen clearly through his behavior and actions. Never had one who ... the professor almost feels like another student. He's really good at getting level with everyone, listening, learning, and understanding.

One of the best professors at SMC. He truly cares about your success in his class. Personally, I was having family issues and he made sure to check in which goes to show the type of educator he is. You'll learn proper design research techniques, prototyping, and how to give constructive feedback. The final is a big collaborative research project.

Great Professor! A LOT of work but he is there to help you if you need it and really cares about his student's success. If SMC offered more GD classes for him to teach, I would DEFENITELY take them in a heartbeat!
