Mike Johnson
Mike Johnson joined Muskegon Community College in the fall of 2000 as a full-time instructor in the English Department. Mike received his B.A. from Michigan State University in 1993, and his M.A. from Western Michigan University in 1996. He completed coursework for his Ph.D. at Saint Louis University and currently teaches English 101, 102, and 200.
Mike's special areas of interest include composition theory, ancient legends and narrative, medieval literature, folklore and fairy tales, and popular culture. He is also an avid student of science fiction and fantasy literature and believes that J. R. R. Tolkien is the single greatest literary mind of the twentieth century.
Mike feels that critical thinking skills go hand-in-hand with becoming better writers and better readers; the ability to trust ourselves, to know that we have important things to say and can say them effectively, are the keys to gaining self-confidence as writers. This is not an easy task, but with hard work, dedication, and a positive attitude, we can all develop our writing skills and out appreciation for the writing of others.
