Professor Johnson is an amazing teacher and I genuinely feel like a better writer as a result of this class. She takes extra effort to cater the course around free and accessible materials and takes the time to not only thoroughly read your papers, but meet with you for conferences on them in order to provide substantial feedback.

Professor Johnson is the best professor I have had at this school. She truly cares for her students and always gives them the benefit of the doubt. She is great at responding to emails on any day and gives quality feedback. She also fosters a positive class environment that makes students feel comfortable to participate.

Great professor. You can tell she really wants her students to succeed and makes sure we're always on the same page. Twice she extended our essays' due date so we could have more time to perfect them. Also v helpful to meet 1 on 1 with her. Lets you choose your own essay topic for the last essay which lets you choose something that interests you

Such a great professor! She is very helpful and enthusiastic about the material. She grades essays very easily. 2 major papers, 1 presentation, and some little homework assignments. Not that much work for a writing class and very easy to get an A. Highly recommended, she is fantastic!

I LOVE THIS WOMAN! She made rhetorical analysis fun, and was super helpful. Class discussions helped with the development of our papers, so it wasn't too hard. It's impossible not to get a good grade with her.

If you ever have the chance to take her, do it! She truly cares for her students and if you ever fall behind, she is there to help you catch up and is sincere with every word that she says. I wish I could take her again, best writing teacher there is!
