This is by far the best Instructor you will ever have. I took her for Math 97, 98 and Math 1111. I will also take her for Statistics. I used to hate Math until I met this wonderful lady. She loves her students and does anything to help when possible.
I hated math until I had a teacher like Ms. Powell. She helps you remove your fear of math. If you failed any of her classes that means you did not care to pass. Ms. Powell will come in early or stay late just to help her students.
Ms. Powell is the best math teacher. I have been out of school for 14 years and I hate math. For the first time I like math and received a very high grade because of her teaching style. I also like that you can do the homework if you want to because she does not collect it.
This teacher is wonderful. She will go over everything. The directions in the book are complicated, but she puts it in layman term
i just graduted out of high school. scared to death of what i've heard about college works. hated math in high school but love it now. i like her teaching style so much that i will take her again for my other math clases if she is available. she teach to make such you understand and if you don't she
Great teacher. I recommend her to all.
Mrs. Powell is really easy.....her tests r really easy and the way she explains things make stat seem so easy....the best math teacher ever...i recommend her to anyone....plus shes really nice and helpful....she has made a seemingly boring subject like stat into something easy to understand and easy
Ms.Powell is an excellent teacher and helps everyone aquire the information-young and old. She understands that math is not the easiest subject and can be challenging at times. She won't proceed with her teachings until everyone has retained the info. And that to me makes an excellent teacher!!!!!!!
Absolutely the BEST teacher I've had at GPC! Makes it so easy. Explains everything in the simplest form...Open book tests all the time including the final.
She needs to bottled and cloned for all math teachers!!! The absolute best. If you have a math phobia take her class and you will be cured. Open book, notes and open heart. She is the best.
she is a wonderful teacher
My first class was today and I felt the need to say that I can already tell she is a great teacher. This is my 2nd time taking this class and I have learned more in 1 class with her than in 3 weeks with my other teacher..great lady.
Mrs. Powell is the BEST teacher ever. She is so helpful, and very sweet.
very good teacher.very helpful.she makes math easy for everyone if you fail this class something is wrong with you.
before taking her class i thought that mr. smith was a good teacher. but she cares and enjoy her job and her students. if u want to learn math take her class.
Mrs. Powell is great, some might thinnk that she moves in a fast pace, but if you come to her class you will move right along. Do the homework although she does go over it in class. Once you have a test she grades the test and gives it back to you that same class period. If you fail her class its b/c you suck. An excellent teacher
Very good teacher. I took her in the summer and the course went very fast but she was very good at making her student understand the work. She give very good study guides for her test and will even help you with your projects. Excellent teacher!!!
Mrs. Powell is a wonderful teacher. If you don't get the material at first she will help you understand. Taking her for any math she teaches will be the best thing you have ever done!!
This is the best math professor ever. If you struggle in math and have a hard time, this professor was made just for you. Everything you have read about her so far (all the good things)are all true. She is a blessing! She restored the confidence in me with math that I had just recently lost. Thanks Ms. Powell!!!
I just love my ginny-gin-gin, she's excellent and down to business when teaching, that's because she wants you to GET IT! I enjoyed her teaching even though summer classes are quick and to the point,but she at least makes sure you get the point before moving on. She's willing to come early, stay late or whatever it takes to help you. Go, Ginny!
She is the best teacher she is so fair and her style is so easy and amazing..soem oen woudl eb stupid nto to take her she works with u and the test are open book open notes but she teaches real good tooo!!! TAKE HER!!!
Ms. Powell is the BOMB! You will have to be an idiot not to understand her. She teaches at a great pace and she will help you in anyway. Tests are open book and open notes. No tricks in this class, her tests are just like her study guides. I love this lady. Take her for all your math!!!!!
Mrs.Powell's class will make you feel like you can take on any math question. She is wonderful. I am going to take her class for statistics. Mrs.Powell is a God sent and I thank her sooo much for all the help she gave to me.
No Comments
The greatest professor in the world. everything is clear and she will help you with and problems you have. i would recommend her for anyone taking a math class.
GREAT TEACHER!!! GREAT PERSONALITY!!! SHE WILL WORK WITH YOU IF YOU NEED HELP.. GIVES REVIEWS FOR EVERY TEST NO SUPRISES SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS ON TEST REVIEW VERY OUTGOING WORKS MANY EXAMPLES ON EACH SECTION EVERY TECHNIQUE!!! LOVE HER!!!! DO THE PROJECTS THEY WILL BOOST THE GRADE UP HIGH..I HAVE A...A AVERAGE IN THE CLASS NOW!!!!
Very easy to understand. The perfect teacher if you are not a math student. Prepared me for Calculus 1
This is one of the best teachers I have ever had!!!
i wish i had her 2 semesters ago instead of WILMA BOULWARE mrs. make math hard because it is suppose to be. Mrs. Powell has a way of making you understand math without being intimidated. before you know it, you are doing math and it is easy. thank you Mrs.Powell, all math teachers need to be like you.
I love this lady!! She made everything understandable w/o unnecessary complications. Let us have open notebook tests. I made a 100.40 in her class and I hardly even tried. Like she said, you have to try hard to fail her class!
Great teacher. Very flexible on turning in homework assignments. Explains everything thoroughly as many times as you ask
Ms. Powell is one of the best math teachers I have had in a long time. Maybe if I had her in high school then I would not have had to take math 97. She is very clear and helpful and I do recommend her to anyone.
Ms. Powell is the best teacher EVER! She made me understand the concepts of Math. I got an "A" in her class. I have never made an "A" in my life in Math. I will advise everyone to take Ms. Powell. Thanks Ms. Powell for being the BEST! Olandria (Summer 2006)
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST TEACHER!! I would advise anyone placed in learning support math to take her. She has truly put my faith back in myself when it comes to understanding math. I had Mr. Barzegar for Math 97 - he was ok, but Ms. Powell is the bomb!
Ms. Powell was a great teacher. She broke everything down so clearly and made math seem simple. I wish I was able to take her college algebra class. Great teacher!!
Ms.Powell is very good at what she does, she love her job,she is always on time, she speaks very clear, she explains examples she is very intelligent.
Ms. Powell is the best Math teacher a student can ever have. Prior to attending College I hated Math but thanks to Mrs. Powell, Math has become one of my favorite subjects.
When I was taking her fall 07 I was already thinking that this was going to be a long semester but she made it soo easy that I passed with a C. I had never passed a math class with a C. She is a tremendous teacher to have. She breaks it down to you on your level, most teachers don't do that. I would recommend her to anybody struggling with math.
She is the best teacher in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GREAT TEACHER, VERY EASY. WOULD TAKE HER EVERY TIME IF SHE TAUGHT ALL OF THE MATH AT THIS COLLEGE.
Excellent teacher! Very clear and helpful. I would definately recomend her.
Most wonderful professor at GPC! She's patient and caring and makes certain that you learn and understand the material. Restored my confidence in Math!
How many people can say they had a great pre-calculus teacher? I can! Ms. powell is the best math teacher in georgia. She can relate 2 the student's frustrations in math because she use 2 battle with those same frustrations with an evil math teacher. Her class is great & you don't have to buy a textbook! PLEASE, PLEASE take her class 4 any subject!
Had her for Pre-Cal. You don't need to buy a book.
Very helpful...show you many ways to do one problem....gives you time to get the information practice tests are the same as the actual tests....STRONGLY RECOMMEND HER
Great teacher who really cares about her students
Great teacher. Easy and you dont need the book.
she is the greatest
Super easy-going. She makes it very easy to follow along.
Mrs.Powell is a great teacher. She made statistics very easy to learn. She is not just an easy teacher and you don't learn. She is a helpful teacher and you learn. I would say if you have to take statistics, if you wanna learn and pass.
Ginny is hyper-tolerant of people who aren't confident in math. She made me feel comfortable and I slowly became less convinced that I was going to fail spectacularly. She makes herself very available to answer questions and offer assistance. Not for math whizzes! Great for ppl who struggle with math courses. You'll fail if try really hard.
OMG SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER! I LOVE GOING TO HER CLASS AND LEARNING. SHE EXPLAIN EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT PRECAL!!! SHE MAKE THE CLASS FUN AND INTERESTING. SHE HELPS OUT STUDENTS A LOT AND SHE IS CARING PERSON!!!!! TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent Teacher! I'm good at math anyway, but I never knew precalculus could be sooooo much fun to learn!
Mrs. Powell is one of the most wonderful teachers you could ever come across. She really has a passion for math, so she makes it fun to learn. Very approachable when asking questions never makes you feel unintelligent for not knowing the answer; she just helps you figure out what went wrong.Take her if you really want to understand calculus.
Mrs. Powell is the best professor!!! Take her class if you want to learn and understand math! XD She's a wonderful human being! Of course, you have to study...du'h! =P
Iloveeee Professor Powell if you need to take learning support math this is the professor for you...she is the best.
Mrs.Powell is an amazing teacher. She presents the material in a clear and concise manner. Don't look anywhere else!!!!!
Great Teacher! She is very straight forward and will give the 'brass tacks' of the education world. Very approachable...her sense of humor is great.
Virginia Powell and Ginny Powell is the same Professor just in case you are wondering. Excellent Professor. Don't hesitate to ask as many questions as your head can hold and your mouth can speak. come with an blank canvas (open mind)
GREAT PROFESSOR, I was scared of math until I finally found a teacher who was clear in teaching and available to all students---she is the BEST math professor I've had,(and I'm beyond my twenties and thirties) I Really wanted to take her for my next math class,except her schedule conflicts with my job. If I did it you can too!
AMAZING professor. I took her class (statistics) without knowing what to expect and knowing that I wasn't extremely good in math. A semester later I got an A and learned SO much. She explains everything and will go over anything if someone doesn't understand. Definitely reccomend her. A++
Mrs. Powell is the "QUEEN" of math. I can not see myself taking anyone else. She loves what she does and she is very compassionate. All you have to do is study, if you need help go see her and she will be there for you{office hrs.}, so make good use of it. I will continue with her through all my math. Thank Ya Mrs. Powell Keep up the good work.
Once you take her, you will want to take her again. Mrs.Powell is a teacher like no other. She is always willing to help; if you ask for it. She makes everything so you can understand it. If anyone says anything negative about her than clearly they are the one who has the problem. This is college folks you are going to have to work for that "A"
Excellent teacher. Deffo worth a trip from other campuses. Her instruction is as clear as an azure sky of deepest summer. Participation=daily grade. 3 exams plus final. Between class and notes posted online, failure/less than an A is an conscious choice.
By far the best professor I've had in my life. She made it easy to grasp the concepts being taught in her class! She is always open to assist you in anyway she can. If you come to class, study and utilize her office hours you have no excuse not to pass! PLENTY of extra credit opportunities!
She is the best professor ever, hands down!! She is easy, super clear, and very nice. Her teaching methods are the best, you will get it no matter how slow you are. She is very helpful. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER! TAKE HER FOR AN A!
The best professor the whole wide world. I love her. Just go to her she is very patient and down to earth. help you with whatever problem you have.
Very helpful and knowledgeable about course content.
She is a great teacher. She breaks everything, but doesn't go to slow like we're special ed. Not only was she a good teacher but the material was easy. Plenty of grading opportunities. Easy A for me.
Too easy, it is impossible to fail this class. All the work is done on the calculator, notes are always posted online with detailed explanation. 4 exams (use notes on the last 3 exams) and a project. NO HOMEWORK!!! She gives you a list of problems to do for more practice but its optional, you can still get an "A" without doing them. NO BOOK!!!!!!
The best and easiest teacher that I have had thus far.
Mrs. Powell is an amazing teacher! First of all, NO TEXTBOOK and homework is only optional. She allows us to use our notes for exams and she posts notes on i college. There's 1 project, 3-4 exams, 1 final. Quizzes throughout the semester are unlimited chances also. Amazing teacher! Would definitely take her again!
Mrs. Powell is beyond good she is perfect. I took her for statistics this summer and it was a easy class. She breaks everything done and she give you plenty of chances with your project, quizzes, and work. The exams were not hard because everything on the exam review are actually on the test. I recommend her to any one because she is good.
You will not leave her class not knowing how to do math. I have never gotten good grades in math until now.
If you are bad at math, Professor Powell is the teacher for you. I am horrible at math but I got a B in her class! She is amazing and very helpful.
Ms. Powell is a great professor. I was nervous about taking Statistics but thanks to her I loved the class. I would take her class again.
I've sucked at math since high school, and now I'm walking away with way more knowledge then I thought I would. She made me feel comfortable enough to ask questions, and was very knowledgeable in helping me figure out the answers. Hand down one of the best math teachers on the Decatur campus.
This professor is great. She really teaches the material until she knows we understand it. There are many extra credit opportunities on the 4 exams. There is only one paper assigned. Don't miss class, she does grade attendance. Great professor.
I told her I didn't understand some of the work and she did a slight chuckle and told me to "try harder". I don't recommend.
Only bad critic I have is that whatever math class is a prequisite to the one you're taking you better know it because she will constantly say "I don't know what you're doing here" almost condescending like, Very Annoying. Other than that amazing teacher. Had her summer 2019. Wish I could take her for every math class.
Shes the best teacher for statistics. Its not that statistics is easy, its that she teaches it so well that you actually learn. Take her if you really want to learn, you will not be disappointed. The best teacher ever!!
I attended for spring and Ill be honest, I thought this was going to be an easy A. Was i wrong. I had only missed 2 days and she would make comments saying Id be working at fast food all my life. Fast forward to the final, they scheduled 3 in one day (COVID19) prohibiting me from taking all 3 & she had no remorse... Didnt even email me back. So.
Do all the work and practice the quizzes, you'll pass.
do not take her online... she is very rude and not socially aware of how inappropriately degrading her comments are. for her online courses all she does is post slideshows. she doesnt teach.
Took her online and she was a pretty good teacher and responds to emails fast. She posts slides and expects you to teach yourself but the material isn't that hard to understand although there is a lot of HW. She provides study guides for every test which are very similar and helpful. I was never good at math but she made this class easy.
You do have a lot of homework in this class, but I feel like that is a given with any math class. I am not a strong math student and got an A in her class. As long as you try and do all of your assignments, it is hard not to do well in her class.
Summer 2021 Online course. Except for weekly discussions, all work was due at end of semester. Prof. was really responsive and stuck to the schedule and syllabus. Course and resources very navigable.
DO NOT TAKE ONLINE UNLESS YOU CAN TEACH YOUSELF 100% OF THE MATERIAL! She provides no instruction, just posts slides. Signs off every post with a threat about not contacting her. Emails are answered slowly and with condescending tone assuming bad faith on the part of the student. Half of my class was failing at the time of my withdrawal.
alright teacher I guess, problems with myself were that when I asked for help on something I would be stuck on and she wouldn't explain well enough for me to understand to the point that a youtube video was doing more but other than that easy class.
You can tell dr powell is a math teacher because of her lack of emotion. She says she's available for help but she does not actually help. She just tells you to do better. Math is my best and favorite subject but I struggled in her class because of her lack of compassion. She does not teach online, just posts readings and videos.
Professor Powell is great, but you must be able to teach yourself because you must study through slides. You come to class daily, but she won't teach - only go through your homework. But her tests have a lot of extra credits. I recommend taking her in person. Ask questions, or else you won't understand.
Easily the rudest and most inconsiderate teacher I have ever had. Do not take her.
She is the worst professor I have ever had and the worst teacher I have ever had. If you take her be ready to not learn anything from her and have to learn it all for yourself.
The worst online professor I've ever had, & waste of tuition money. Idek what she was payed to do since all the learning you do is from short video clips in a text book. who learns math from READING how to do it? Leaves passive aggressive comments on work turned in & REFUSES to answer a question in a straight forward manner or explain it. avoid!!!
y'all lied to me and ill never forgive y'all!! Literally the worst professor ever. she is not even teaching us and expect us to know how SHE do her work. she would take of 40 points because you didn't tell her why 2+2=4. and MIND YOU the rest of your work is 100% correct. she puts link of ORGANIC CHEM yt videos and tell you to learn. save yourself!
3 tests, 3assigment due a week, she does this written work you have to check the uncheckable answers she doesn't show you how. you could loose 40 points for one mistake to her. she does her own kind of math that she doesn't explain you have to figure it or you get a 40 in your 100% correct work. don't bother emailing her. just don't take her.
she was such a bad communicator telling her to explain some thing is the most frustrating thing ever. She copy and paste the same email and send it to everyone every time someone asked for help. She would tell you something is wrong and you redo and she still say it's wrong. She wants you to figure out or explain the unexplainable. just no
Wallahi, the worst prof ever, she think everyone was born knowing how to do math, she want you to show deep deep workout. She have bad time management when it comes to grading test. I have to check after her every time she grades my work. bad communicator. DONT take her online. safe your time and money she's not worth the stress.
Professor Powell has been THE WORST by far. I explained my complications with math, being met with "Review the homework and Good Luck!" She sent links to videos not related to the work at hand. I expect a teacher to TEACH the subject and respond accordingly to what exactly was wrong so that I may be better. Dont take her class.
Such an amazing caring teacher, who helped me in every way she could to help me understand the material to pass exams!
honestly i wish i could give her a better review because she seems nice and cares about her students on a personal level, but her online teaching style is mediocre for a math class. she would put a links to a free textbook page about the lesson that barely explains the problems on the hw/tests and a 3 min long youtube video.
Best professor ever! Super kind and understanding. Would definitelty take this class 100x over if I could. 100000/10.
Def take this class, lots of extra credit, remediation on exams 1-4, and shes a nice grader. good teacher, i think I actually learned math for the first time in college, and I'd take her again if i had to repeat calc 3.
I took MATH2212 online with professor Powell, and I would not recommend her. She does not teach at all, and the entire class is homework based. The way the homework is structured also makes it very difficult to catch up in case of an emergency. She is not very understanding or nice. She gives helpful exam feedback but overall I would not recommend.
She barely gives any actual instruction other than you tube videos which explains about the same amount as a stick. 0/10 if I could rate lower I would but I can't ALSO she gives you so much work that has 7564784 different parts
