Selected Comments

  • "Alex did a great job of keeping the zoom lectures engaging and also showed that he cared about his students. I didn't do as well as I had hoped on the first exam, and he reached out to me personally to 1. Let me know not to worry/stress myself out over it and 2. provide helpful study tips to do better on upcoming exams. He made a class that I wasn't overly excited for, interesting and much better experience for me. Alex if you're reading this, thanks for an awesome semester."


  • "Doing great my guy"


  • "I enjoyed this class. I intend to take some Developmental Economics courses in grad school. This class made me curious about a lot of things. Kudos to the instructor!"


  • "I have no concerns! He was my only professor of the semester to acknowledge that we are still in a pandemic and struggling as students. Absolutely love him, doing a great job."


  • "Instructor was caring, motivated, and took student feedback under consideration at all times. Need more teachers like Alex at MSU."


  • "Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Soon-to-be Dr. Johann was very organized and sent reminders to students which was especially helpful with online teaching and COVID. He was always looking to improve and was open to any and all feedback from students regarding his teaching, class difficulty, and more. He also provided opportunities to gain a more in-depth knowledge base by finding current event articles and journal papers. His teaching was very detailed and well-rounded and he answered any questions."


  • "Professor Johann did an excellent job this semester diving into the economic theories regarding developing countries. We had multiple times where there were technical difficulties that he worked to fix quickly so that he could provide us with the best educational experience possible. Overall, I was very happy with the education I received in Professor Johann's class."
