Dana was a really nice guy, highly recommend him. Most of your interactions will be with your TAs, since they will be in lab with you and grading everything, but whenever we did see Dana he was very nice and helpful when answering questions.

Dr. Johnson was unquestionably my favorite professor last semester. He explains concepts, answers questions, and demonstrates examples with incredible clarity and is obviously very knowledgable. While he could get a little redundant at times, he was a fantastic instructor and I highly recommend his courses.

I thought Dr. Johnson was a very good professor, who had a desire to pass on his knowledge and teach the material. Chem is hard and you need to work hard in order to do well in the class. It is normal if you struggle with the material. Dana is very good at meeting with students, if they have questions, use office hours most of the time when I went I was me and maybe on or two other students. He can be hard to talk to but its not because he doesn't want to be there or doesn't want to talk to you. He wants to help students and during finals week added an extra 10 hours to his office hours. I would recommend taking Chem 111 with Dr. Johnson

From what i heard Dana is one of the best general chem. professors. he lectures in a way that is interesting, he engages the class, and he teaches material clearly. to get an A in this class, you will probably have to do the practice problems that are in the book, ALEKS (the online hw), and study the practice tests that are posted online. it might also be beneficial to use other online lecture type things to supplement the class lectures. All this said, Dana is a good teacher, chem 111 just covers a ton of material.

Dana was a fantastic teacher with the ability to make a difficult subject understandable. Lecture wasn't mind-blowing or anything, but he was always willing to help outside of class, and before and after class. Too bad I can't take him next semester. Try to take his section for chem 111 for sure!

Dana Johnson was an amazing teacher. OChem is a tough subject but he taught the material very well. We had to go through it pretty quick because I took it in the summer. But he took time to go over the topics well enough that they were understandable. You will be sad once he is not your teacher for chemistry anymore.

Dana is a grad student so he understands what we're all going through. He also understands is a crazy hard class and is willing to help in class and outside of class. Overall a pretty solid teacher.
