Materials are well structured and help u to build up. He's a great professor and class is light. All the exams are online and are given several days to complete, so if u r patient with details in hws then they shouldn't be hard (just mimic the hws). |

Dale is hilarious without trying to be. This class is an easy A and while the content can be really boring, he makes it entertaining for the most part. The workload is light to medium but he's a very lenient grader. He's super approachable and passionate about what he teaches. Would definitely recommend this class/professor. |

Prof. Johnson makes this class light and easy going. He has alot of personal experience in the field so theres alot of first hand examples he gives in lectures. Hes a reasonable grader, tests are online, and the material isnt hard to grasp. |

Our readings are wikipedia articles and he spends the whole class telling us about his son's 3d printers or his father or whatever. And then expects us to teach ourselves hard material. Impossible to get ahold of after class or even through email. Worse prof I have ever taken at UMD. BY FAR! I have never reviewed a prof until him so that should tell ya. |

This class is fun! It's about the ways to reduce risks and maximize profits in the futures and options market. Once you fathom the principles of those strategies, you can do well. Professor Johnson cares about his students and he is passionate during lectures. He gives handouts that are very helpful for you to learn, but to do well in exams, you may need to memorize some details (like definition) on his handouts. |

Professor Johnson is a good instructor. The class only met once a week, which was tough at times, but he gave breaks in the middle of the lecture. There are guest speakers, but most of the class consists of his lectures. The tests can be tough and require a lot of memorization. There is also a group project and pop quizes on most days. The key to this class is going to his reviews sessions. He is approachable and willing to review exam material before the tests. Even if you are not an AREC major, you will still learn a lot about small businesses in general and also learn a little bit about farming as well. |
