Matt Johnson
Classes taught
Style & personality
Matt Johnson is a thirty-two (or so) year old man with a shaved head and roundish glasses. He has an attractive wife and a kid that tends to get sick a lot. This equates to class being randomly canceled. He's a good teacher although at times, in lecture, he veers and completely forgets where he was at. Johnson is talented; he keeps the class alive with humor and intelligence.
He teaches a wide assortment of classes including History, Philosophy, Eastern World Civ, and the May 2005 Comparative World Religions class. An excellent and fun-loving guy (although he can make some pretty sad jokes, he's great to be around).
A gentle caution for those wishing to take him: unless you take him for a May session class, you WILL be writing a term paper. Also, he takes a really really long time to get your tests back to you (instead he'd rather go fishing...).
Student opinions
Daniel: Somewhat hard to follow at times, somewhat spastic. You should totally go visit him in his office if you like hippie, leftist type people. He's really funny to watch in class. He likes what he does, I think. So he's more thinking about things out loud than teaching perhaps, but it's cool. Not terribly easy in terms of tests and such, but nothing horrible either. He's worth a shot, see if you like him.
