Winter 2017 - I had Prof. Johnson for Chicano 10B, and it was my favorite class that quarter! She is such an engaging lecturer I was able to pay attention for the whole 2 hour class. She is also very passionate about the material which shows in her teaching. The exams are not difficult, and she gives you a straightforward study guide that is actually like the test. She definitely wants to see her students succeed. Would take another class with her for sure. Readings were dense but very interesting.
