Rate My Professor Liz Johnson

Johnson's teaching spans introductory to advanced computer science courses, as documented in Xavier University's Exhibit repository of syllabi. These include CSCI 170-01/02 Computer Science I (various semesters including Fall 2023), CSCI 180/181 Computer Science II and Lab (e.g., Spring 2008), CSCI 220-01/02 Data Structures and Algorithms (Fall 2019), CSCI 260 Software Engineering (Spring 2013), CSCI 300-01 Programming Languages (Spring 2024), CSCI 350-01 Advanced Algorithms and Theory (recent), CSCI 174 Programming in C (2021), CSCI 210-01 Machine Organization and Assembly Language (2017), and CSCI 340-01/02 Networking (Spring 2024). In scholarship, she co-authored 'Fostering a creative interest in computer science' with Gary Lewandowski, published in ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (Volume 37, Issue 1, March 2005, pages 535-539), focusing on revising introductory computer science curricula to spark creativity. Her ACM Digital Library profile lists contributions to computer science education, concurrency, and broadening participation. Johnson received a faculty development award with colleagues Gary Lewandowski and Gwen White for developing a cybersecurity minor. She has supported new programs including a cybersecurity concentration launched in 2018 and recent majors in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.
