I loved her. She truly cares about her students and genuinely wants you to learn. PLEASE take this class if you can. She brings a comfortable vibe to the class and wants to make sure you succeed. Shes motivational because she really gets you to understand yourself and makes you want to move forward with writing. I loved her class a lot.

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

Professor Johnson is one of the best professors that I have had thus far since attending UCSB. She makes writing interesting and informative. There are three major papers but they are relatively easy as long as you follow the prompt and do every step of the process that she assigns. She grades fairly easy as well so that's a plus.

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!

Professor Johnson is the absolute best! Her class was fun and informative. Additionally, she is a very kind and caring woman. Her goal is genuinely to make her students better writers and she'll go the extra mile to do so. My favorite professor I've had thus far. Highly recommended.

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.
