Really great teacher and conveys the information covered in the readings clearly. At times can be very opinionated and biased, but is an overall great professor. READ THE BOOKS.

Great professor! Really passionate about the class. The material was very interesting. There was heavy reading and I rarely read so my grade suffered; I put other classes before this one so I rarely studied for it as well and I wrote my paper a night before it was due. Had I studied, the review sheets she gave were identical to the midterm and fina

Professor Johnson is one of the most incredible human beings you will meet. She is dedicated to the subject and will motivate you to challenge your perception of the world. Most def reading intensive but you will want the books for your personal library afterwards! LOVE HER!

Professor Johnson is probably the best professor I've had at UCSB and this is the honestly the best class I have taken, coming from an engineer major. The class is eye opening to the real world, and you will learn so much about racism in America. Professor Johnson is very inspirational, funny, and down to earth. Read and go to class to do well!

Teacher was awesome. Terrible class though. TA's take it way too seriously and grade very harshly. Don't expect to do well.

I didn't even care that the class was tough, honestly. Most amazing professor ever, opens up your eyes and is willing to help.

Johnson was an awesome, passionate professor. Her lectures were sometimes disorganized and got off track but I definitely learned a lot. Very eye opening class and has you look at a different perspective about racism in America. Wasn't as easy at I thought it was going to be, but I got a B+ and she made it a little bit more enjoyable to learn.

THIS CLASS IS GREAT! The topics are very interesting and need to be heard by everyone at UCSB. BUT the class was very disorganized at times, like REALLY disorganized. the group project was pointless and the midterm/final were nothing like the review sheets. at the end of the day i did learn alot though

attendance was "mandatory" because of iclickers (which we only used like three times in class wow). the group essay was dreadful and the prompt wasn't given until two weeks before the final. it was too heavily associated with the books read in class. found the class hard but surprisingly ended up with B. can't complain about that

She's confusing and unorganized and had us do "direct action" projects that were sort of pointless. She's passionate, this class was just A LOT of reading, and the last essay was just pretty stupid.

Loved this class! It was very eye opening and Johnson is probably one of the best professors I've ever had. It also helped that I had one of the best TA's ever (Steven Osuna). I will say, however, aspects of the class were very disorganized like the direct action project that was super stressful but overall loved this class!
