Reviews of professor Zachary Powell

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He is a tough grader for the Term paper, however he is not biased at all. He grades anonymously. We have to purchase a $30 worth of membership for a packback you post question and two responses with a score of 70+ to get credit. Test are super hard make sure to read the book!!. Extra credit is not available, unless you propse a good idea for EC.

Unfortunately, leaves a lot to be desired. When I took his CJUS 1101 class, it was an all asynchronous online course, so interaction with the professor was limited. With that being said, our class's limited interaction with him was not the best. He comes off as very stand-offish and even rude at some times. He does not communicate well...

His tests and quizzes were very hard. He words the questions in overcomplicated ways making it harder than it needs to be. His lectures barely cover anything in the book yet the quizzes and exams are solely based on the textbook chapters. You are basically learning the textbook content on your own.

This is a pretty cool class. A lot of class discussions and the work is manageable. Easy A if you don't miss any assignments.

I wouldn't take this class. 4 papers plus a term paper are due and grades hard on them. the only thing that was easy about this class was packback questions. 4 quizzes that are due (not really hard). so yeah, if you want to read alot and struggle finding out about your grade good luck. he can be pretty rude & its his way or no other way.

This professor is a complete smug and cocky man child. He is rude, does not teach well, gives terrible feedback, and needs to kiss up to if you want to pass. He is terribly annoying, and his papers are unnecessary. His lectures even refer to these reviews in which I would like to say I hope he reads this and notices all of his classes dislike him.

This is not an easy professor/class. Weekly hw, fairly easy. There is so much work needed for this class, the professor is intelligent but can be rude. Very tough grader. Not super approachable. Some topics can be interesting during lecture. Did okay on term paper(hard). In all, if you do EVERY assignment and do well on reading quizzes you'll pass.

Not typical professor. Just put the work out and you need to do it. I recommend if your gonna take him. Make a list of the chapters you need to read and what you need to accomplish. Pack-back is fairly easy just need to remember that you must and I mean MUST do it. if you don't watch his videos you will get lost quick. So all about consistency.

Prof Powell was a tough teacher. If you do the work you will pass but he gives tough exams which also weigh down your grade a lot.  He gives weekly assignments that aren't hard but just seem like busy work. He has exams every 3 weeks or so, which again, are very difficult to pass. If you can get another professor, would recommend to do so.
