Student reviews

Professor Johnson is very knowledgeable about her field and has personal experience to share about her experiences. However, she is not a great lecturer and reads off of slides with tiny paragraphs of text on them. She also is not good with technology to the point that it was a hindrance many times in class, and is not responsive to emails.CSDCALL 2023-04-30 20:48:31 +0000 UTC
Had her for dialogue to Ghana. Great professor, funny and caring. She goes through a great deal to help the needy students in Ghana succeed in life and try to help them have a bright future.PSY400 2019-05-14 23:52:31 +0000 UTC
Terrible. She's a bully, plain and simple. Doesn't care about her students one bit. She actually had a "refrigerator fund" collection in one of my classes, where students were guilt into contributing money so she could buy a new refrigerator. You're a tenured professors, learn to budget your money better, not ask your students!CSDCALL 2013-11-26 16:35:59 +0000 UTC
Prime case for Provosts undercover! Her research about her family via using them and her children plus grandchildren is unethicalPSY400 2011-10-18 20:25:24 +0000 UTC
Does she even want to be teaching anymore?CSDCALL 2010-07-30 12:38:21 +0000 UTC
