Christine Johnson

Really nice and lighthearted teacher that guides you through the really long readings. She offers rewrites for every assignment, but she's not a very hard grader anyways. You can get good grades on the individual discussions really easily and she keeps conversations fun.

I found the class very interesting, and Professor Johnson was clearly passionate about the material. However, the reading is very time-consuming because it is not only extensive but also difficult to comprehend. The direction of the discussions can also be a little unclear. I would recommend this course, but be ready to read a lot.

Smart and caring, but not great at leading discussion. Often gets lost in thoughts and is not great at articulating them to students. Students lead discussion, every class ends with a sense of "what did I just learn." Offers full rewrite for every assignment, but that is because she is unnecessarily hard grader. Nice person, below-average teacher

Intelligent and knowledgeable, but as others have said, students lead class discussion, not her. Friendly and passionate, but there's a sense of “what was I supposed to learn” at the end of every class. Allows rewrites/flexible deadlines, but it's because she grades so harshly. Readings are boring. Would be better advisor than professor.

Her class is discussion-heavy, but the students have to lead the discussion. In class, she doesn't really teach. In individual meetings, she's intelligent and helpful. She knows what she's doing, she just doesn't teach in class most of the time. Really smart and friendly in individual discussions, but wouldn't take her for a class again.

Do not take courses with her. She takes insanely long to respond to students emails. Responded an hour before the final was due despite being contacted more than a week earlier. Prepare to lead more than half the class as the students, the professor doesnt even teach half the total amount of classes. Assignments are posted hours before theyre due

A demanding but not unfair professor. She assigned readings that were very long and challenging, but once you were finished you felt kind of accomplished. Class discussions helped a lot in terms of having a greater understanding of the texts, although sometimes it was hard to stay focused.
