Reviews of professor Kari Powell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I loved Professor Powell! You can tell how much she cares about children and how badly she wants you all to succeed. The class was interesting and the online meetings/discussions were always thought provoking. I would find a buddy in the class that you can communicate with for clarification on projects, as the professor can be hard to get ahold of.

Professor Powell was a truly amazing teacher and very inspirational. I could really see her passion through her lectures. She is also funny and nice to talk to after class. One thing to be more careful about is grammar and punctuation. You will be reading a chapter every week of about 30 pages.

If you email her, good luck getting a response. Her grading criteria is unclear, and then she will blame the students for doing the assignment wrong. My entire class was left confused with no answers from her. Even a campus employee told me not to take her. Unless you enjoy doing everything on your own with no help or instructions, DO NOT TAKE.

She was not helpful in any way, shape, or form. She always stated communication mattered and that she was there to help, yet she never provided any assistance, and no matter how much I emailed her and spoke with her, she consistently said well, it's on you, and it is out of her control. Yet, she is the person grading and assigning the assignments.

She's very kind and a sweet hearted person. The thing is, she does not except late work which is fine if you're on point with your work but when it comes to getting clarification, she's the last person you'd want to talk to. Ive probably sent 10+ emails and only got 1 in return with little to no clarification. Textbook is used heavily.

Mrs. Powell is a very easy going professor! She teaches very well and does not make class boring

She does the most. I don't know why it is necessary to read 6 lengthy articles in a week and have two discussion topics but it is awful. She does way too much and needs to calm down. She doesn't even teach, she just gives you readings. Not to mention she tries to trip you up on tests. She doesn't want you to succeed, it's just a power trip.

Kari does a great job making you feel valued as an individual while still demanding the best of you. There is a lot of homework and classes focus largely on lecture and discussion, however she does her best to make lecture interesting and fun. Don't even think about skipping class, you definitely won't pass. Be prepared for fun and challenge.

A lot of readings and videos. Teaching yourself. Can be very overwhelming. Be on time with discussions.
