Reviews of professor Patrick Powell

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The instructions for the class are done very poorly and when I ask the teacher for help he replies don't worry too much and then my grades go down for missing something on the assignment I asked for help. He grades very hard for not explaining the assignments at all well. Take it from another teacher who cares about the students understanding.

I always try to take Dr Powell's classes. There are several of us that do. His lectures are very informative and he relates them to clinical cases. He also has a pretty awesome sense of humor. His class is required work, but if you read the assignments and the syllabus, you know exactly what you need to do. He's a great professor.

The rubric was very subjective (ie. full points-would hire as an employer, partial points-might hire, no points-wouldn't hire, etc), but only had issues on one assignment with unfair grading. Most of the assignments are semi useful and business related. The prof was nice though and for the most part graded well.

I've had Dr Powell for a few classes. He's the professor I go to when I have an actual clinical question. He's one of the few licensed and practicing faculty at Nova. Once I graduate, I intend to ask him to be my qualified supervisor. He's the person to go to when you have a question about actually working with patients.

Honestly, I really like Dr. Powell. He is so intelligent and I love listening to him talk in class. I am looking forward to taking more classes with him.

Even with turning in assignments late, he still gave me a good grade on assignments. Doesn't assign many assignments during the semester, but the assignments are dense and time consuming so be prepared. Overall, he was an amazing professor.

He is an easy grader as long as you meet all the requirements in the rubric each assignment. He was not very active in the class. The class is very self taught, which easily causes confusion. When students would ask him for help, he would basically just copy and paste the instructions from the material, which didn't help at all.

Doctor Powell held a webinar in the first week of class explaining the syllabus and the assignments. I had questions throughout the semester and he always answered them. I had a concern about a grade. He helped me understand how I had misunderstood the requirements. Hint: I didn't read the grading rubric. I wish I had him in a face to face class.

Loved Dr. Powell. His knowledge really shows, and he is very methodical in the way he delivers the material. I left the class so much more confident in my understanding of the topics. There are no stupid questions with him! He has an ability to answer any question in a way that ends up benefiting the whole class.
