Reviews of professor John Powell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I take his GOVT face-to-face class. He does not allow anyone to use laptop, phone or sleep during his lectures. He gives out reflection papers in every lectures, so you have to focus. Also, his exam questions are selected from the review questions. You have to read his power points to answer those. It is not hard.

I sincerely recommend that, unless you have no choice, to find another professor. His lectures are literally reading off a handout you fill out, and you'll read 6+ hours from a wonky, convoluted textbook. Top this off with your other 1-2 big projects in this class, and it's just one big, boring, banal, and otherwise unhelpful class.

I respect late work policies, but his is extreme. He takes 50% off AUTOMATICALLY no matter how late the assignment is. 5 minutes or 5 weeks, doesnt matter. He doesnt care if you have an actual reason (i.e. illness, family emergency, etc.)
