He is super funny, relatable and engaging in class. He originally said that he would give pop quizzes, but we never had them because most people participated in class anyways. The material is presented very clearly and organized. Exam averages were always high and the homeworks are manageable. I'm excited to take another class with him

Fantastic professor. Started class off with proverbs and quotes. Always had opportunities to practice speaking. Class wasn't grammar heavy, just right. He alluded to funny inside jokes throughout the class and even made online class super enjoyable. 100% would recommend.

Professor Johnson made me love my first French class at Georgetown. You get from his class what you put in, and I found the discussions about the texts really helped my speaking ability. Really cares about his students and makes classes so fun. 100% recommend!

Had discussions in every class. Entire class conducted in French but good for improving oral skills. Tests are difficult, cover grammar and culture. Readings involve chapters of textbook, take 1 hour each. Prof. is energetic and fun, inspirational, and caring. He is always willing to answer emails.

The best French professor ever. So kind and understanding. Even when the material was grammar heavy he managed to make it fun. Definitely take him!!

Homework and exams were all through Cengage with the content evaluated being easily found on lectures from the professor or the Cengage online textbook. Homework is due biweekly which is nice, but typically have a bunch of problems (so best not to do them all in one day). Exams given are nicely made, they're similar to previous homework problems

Joe Johnson is one of the best professors in the CSE department at UConn, his lectures are thorough and engaging and are relevant to the coursework. I have taken two classes with him, 2500 and 4705, and in both he tested on only the fundamentals of the course (meaning if you pay attention in lecture and do the homework you will get an A).
