Review:
These reviews have been knocking Professor Johnson as a teacher, which they should be doing because everything that has been said (intolerance of alternative views, etc) is all accurate. However, she is a very interesting person to have a conversation with outside of class and is quite accessible. I do feel grading standards were pretty awful and unless you repeated everything she said on a final or a paper, despite your own opinions, you would suffer. Her TAs are just as one-sided. Heads up.

Review:
The most appealing thing about this class is the books you'll read. Lectures are interesting once and a while, but for the most part, they're just a mess of elevated language attempting to disguise essentially empty arguments. But pay attention: you'll be expected to reproduce the professor's opinion on exams and papers. On the other hand, Professor Johnson is accessible outside of class and welcomes students' comments during lectures, though I'd think twice before disagreeing with her. Quite a character, but not an exceptional class by any means.

Standard survey lit. course--a book each week. A mid-term, a final, and one 5-7 page paper.
