very boring, but if you need an easy A and your decent at math then take this class. If your going into this class to learn anything new DO NOT take it.

Had her for precalculus. She goes very slowly and uses a lot of examples. You'll be bored to death, but she's very thorough. If you're looking for an easy A, Powers is great.

Math has never been my favorite subject, nor has it ever been my forte. However, this class is pretty easy for me. Some people don't like that she does so many examples, but I find them very helpful. We have quizzes pretty often, but if you do the homework (which is never due), then you will be fine. Tests are pretty much just like the quizzes.

Uses a lot of examples which i find helpful. Tests are multiple choice. She's not a talker but if you need extra help, she's willing to.

uses examples to teach doesn't really teach the concept before using an example but it also helps pretty easy class.... not that bad of a teacher no homework although the homework helps with the frequent quizzes ...

Powers is very nice and you don't have to participate at all. She gives lots of examples, and is very boring, but she teaches well. Doing the homework is not necessary.

I personally really like Sarah. I think that she is really entertaining in class and I love all the examples that she does. Also really great that you don't have to do the homework. I barely study and I always do pretty good on the tests and quizzes.

I enjoyed her, she's pretty easy and looks like Velma from Scooby Doo. Quiet and kinda socially awkward but she's nice and gives you an Easy A for doing practically nothing.

Hard class for student's who struggle with math. Her classes consist of her giving example after example. Easy for me because I had already taken calculus in high school.

I think she is great. I am so glad i am in her class. She makes math so much fun! I wish i can take her again!

A pretty straightforward class. Three or four tests over the course of the semester plus the final. Homework is optional but if you consistently do it you should be fine on the tests. She's kind of an awkward professor and she laughs at herself a lot but she's friendly and very approachable.

Sarah was super meticulous and went over lectures really slowly, making sure everyone understood. The class seemed a little below college level most of the time. Got a little harder as it went on, but generally not a stressful class. If you're looking to be challenged, this is not the class for you. If you want an A, go for it!

I think she is unfairly being slammed but some people. While she may go over material with a multitude of examples she just wants to ensure everyone in the class is up to speed. Homework is for your own use and is not required to be turned in. I frankly never did any and got a B in the class. Just beware the final is a group word problems!! YUCK

Best math teacher I've ever had. She is so sweet and always willing to help. Her style of teaching can seem boring but it is very effective and not "mathy", with more emphasis on concepts and understanding than steps and boring stuff. I have never been so successful in a math class she is truly awesome.

don't understand how anyone could not like her

Great prof if you are not very good at math. Explanations are clear and not "mathy". As a person she comes across as a bit odd/unapproachable, but as a teacher she is helpful and clear. Definitely take her if you need to get a math requirement out of the way/don't like math very much.

She is a very good teacher! Displays the material well, but moves very quickly. She is very sweet, but she doesn't want you to waste her time. Only see her if you have something specific in mind. Do well on the tests and the quizzes and you'll get an A! Also you can turn in homework for extra credit!

I was scared to take precalc in college but I seriously lucked out in getting Dr. Powers. She explained concepts well & always gave helpful examples. HW was good practice, but never mandatory. She's also really mellow, which I always appreciated. I definitely recommend her!

Professor Powers was a pretty good professor. She explains things in a simple way that's not too "mathy", why I liked as a poly-sci major. Her lectures are boring but not too hard to follow along, and her tests aren't hard if you do the homework. I would recommend her to someone who is looking to learn the basic material, but not to a math major.

Powers is a super clear professor. She teaches you what you need to know and tests you on it. She will always help you. The homework is optional, but your grade will be better if you do it. There are weekly quizes but are very straightforward and the tests are not bad either. She is a good teacher for a hard subject, but I would highly recommend

I really enjoyed having her as my math teacher. She is very clear on explaining and walking us through the hw. Her office hours are very helpful,I was in there every chance I got. She will make you work for an A, and her study guides don't always match up to the tests. The exams are usually alot harder than the study guides.

Powers is a sweet and helpful woman. Ask for help and you will receive. If you are taking her Business Math course- if you took calculus and/or pre-calc in high school you will be good. Homework is optional and the only grades are tests and quizzes. Teaches by example and always answers questions with proof. Take Powers!

Powers is an awesome teacher, I keep signing up for her classes. She writes down detailed notes, makes sure everyone undertands the material before she moves on to the next topic. VERY organized, attendance is important but the assignments she gives are very easy. Tests are moderately hard but with a little bit of effort, easy A.

she was a great teacher! everything she teaches is on the test! i recommend her to everyone!

Super clear and direct explanation of the course material of calculus. If you took AP Calc in high school this will be a breeze. All homework is optional, but she moves through the concepts very quickly so you have the potential to get behind. A sweet and lovely professor who could not be any clearer! Would take again!

Solid teacher for statistics. A little quiet so its hard to hear her sometimes. Only two 35% tests so those two exams basically determine your grade. Overall, a boring class but good prof.

I took Powers for intro to stats, I loved her class and was excited to go even though it was math. I had a background of high school stats but she makes this class so easy by giving a lot of examples of unit packets that review what she wants you to know for the test. Homework is optional but your grade is all tests and quizzes.

Dr. Powers is a very good professor. Her examples are clear, the homework is optional, the syllabus is followed to a T, she answers all questions you have, etc. She is not super outgoing, don't expect to make a personal relationship with her, but she is very kind and accessible outside of class. You can tell she is well respected in the community.

Powers is a literal gem to this world. She is so caring and sweet. She gives you note packets and in-class review days before tests. Homework is optional. Easiest class I've taken. Four tests and a final. 9 quizzes but they help you study for the tests. Please take her!! She is amazing!1

Power's isn't a bad choice at all. Homework isn't mandatory, but it does help. I think her voice is so soft that it gets hard to pay attention in class. Not the greatest at explaining questions, but not too bad. The class starts with basic algebra and by the end of the semester you're into deep calculus. If you did well/took calc in HS, no problems

I am not sure why this professor is rated so low. Easily one of the best math teachers in the business math department. She is also one of the few that gives a lot of partial credit on test or quizzes, which is important when your only grade is tests and quizzes. Homework is optional but honestly you need to do it if you want to do well.

I enjoyed Ms. Powers. I took calculus in high school, which made her class a lot easier for me. I feel she is very thorough, and a solid choice for a professor.

Math 103 is good for people who aren't going into math-based majors/careers, you get to learn about finances, statistical analysis, and probabilities. Most of your grade is made of tests and quizzes, as well as some groupwork and hw assignments. Professor Powers is a great teacher and she cares about her students and their success in the course.

I had Mrs. Powers for Math 121 (Intro to Stats) and I think she's a good teacher. She explains things very clearly and she gives you note packets for all lectures which is really nice. The tests are straight forward (basically the note packets) but go to class or you'll be behind. Mrs. Powers is caring but she does talk quietly so sit in front.

Sarah Powers makes math the easiest thing I've ever done. I took intro math and business stats from her and as someone who struggles with math, Powers does a great job making it doable. I've even used her notes at work before. She has a quiz for every chapter, so you'll definitely know it for the test.

Sarah Powers is a good Professor, she knew how to teach this course and was giving clear examples. She never tried to pull plot twists on exams and made sure to answer questions or concerns from students. Overall she was a solid teacher.

I had Ms. Powers for intro to stats and thought she was great! Very prepared and super clear. You will know your stuff if you show up and will likely get an A which was great for me because I normally hate math. She will give you every equation you need on the test. My only complaint is she is a bit quiet but she's still approachable.

I had already taken AP calc in high school so this class was especially easy for me since I already knew pretty much all of the material. Her lectures are very straightforward and the homework is optional. I recommend doing the homework only if you need extra practice with those kinds of problems. Weekly quiz every Friday and a few exams.

Professor Powers is a solid choice for a. math class. She explains things well and is available when you need extra help. Homework is optional and class grade consists of quizzes and tests.

Professor Powers explains math very clearly and it is very easy to follow. She has no problem with answering questions or helping outside of class. Homework is all optional for practice if you need it. There are quizzes every week and 4 exams. The only thing that frustrated me was you have to fight for partial credit when you get a question wrong.

Dr. Powers is easygoing and by far the most organized professor I have ever taken- her lectures cover exactly what will be on every test/quiz and the entire semester schedule was posted and accurate on day one of the class. The homework is optional, and your entire grade is five tests and ten quizzes. My only complaint is that she moves VERY fast.

Mrs. Powers is incredibly organized. If you take a look at the syllabus every once in a while, you will never be caught off guard. Her lectures teach exactly what you need to know, and she has note packets(with keys!)available for every lecture. If you follow along with lectures and make sure you can do the questions, you will get a good grade.

she really cares about her students! she makes lots of sense and is organized. don't be afraid to ask questions and go to office hours or schedule time with her if you need help. a great choice for non math people.

A good teacher, show up to lectures and you'll learn everything you need to know for the tests and quizzes. She provides note packets that are very helpful and teach everything and keeps it organized. Homework can be tedious but do it along with the notes and it's not terrible

She is the only math teacher Ive ever had that I actually understood what was going on during class. There are so many resources to study, she is very understanding about being absent, and the tests and quizzes and hw are exactly like the examples she does in class. She is a very fast grader and very organized. The homework is very manageable.

Professor Powers is a great math lecturer. She gives lots of example problems in class, and the homework prepares you well for the exams. It's a pretty easy class content wise. The quizzes are about 15 minutes at the end of class, and exams were an entire class period but usually went by faster than that. She's a great professor for this class!

GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS. Cannot stress that enough. I love Powers, but she goes a bit fast and her voice can put you to sleep. She is ALWAYS willing to help and is lenient on quizzes. If you are struggling go to her early on, if you're not still go to her early on. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS!!

Powers is a good professor that will work with you outside of class and individually if need be. She gives review packets before every exam that really help, and if you stay up on homework then you'll do fine. It's a required class that not many people enjoy taking, and she seems to know that. Of the options for this course- she's the best!

So boring, math is boring already, class is a lecture of practice problems for the homework sets and the tests. Fair grader and super available outside class during office hours. Math is boring but Powers made it as easy as possible to understand.

I took the night class (6-8:30pm) and I can't imagine how bad a MWF version of this class would be. You have to pay attention the entire time because the material is not returned to or reviewed much(if at all), so focus up because it will be on an exam. Math is boring, she is dry, but hey, I got an A by studying just once a week before the tests.

I had Professor Powers for math100 which I was required to take even though I didn't need the class for my major. Most of the things in this class were things I already knew but if I wouldn't have known everything already I assume that this class would've been too fast-paced. Powers was very accessible to give us help outside of class if we need it

It is very clear what you need to work on when taking the class as she lays everything out well. The study guides she provides are very helpful when studying for exams. Would recommend taking this class.

Dr. Powers was great. Note outlines, test reviews, recorded lectures, and accessible office hours. Dr. Powers sets her students up for success. She was also a relatively quick grader which was nice. HW was out of the book and we had around 5 quizzes, 4 tests, and a final. I would highly recommend her. Very understanding and nice as well.

Very good lecturer and explains things very clearly as well. All classes were recorded and all answers to the test were available from her after the test was graded. Very little group work, and homework was a good amount and was good practice for the tests. Overall a great teacher

Overall, Dr. Powers was a pretty good professor. If math is not your strong suit, take this course. The material is not that bad. She teaches a little fast at times but all of her lectures are recorded and easily accessible if you miss information. She offers a lot of partial credit on exams so it is easy enough to get a decent grade on them.

Professor Powers was pretty good. She was helpful outside of class and was always open to questions. There was a lot of homework and lectures in every class, but she also posted a class recording for every day in case you missed a class. There were a lot of quizzes, but the lowest score was dropped. Overall, not bad.

Probably one of the best math instructors I have ever had. She did a great job explaining the material in a way that I could understand. She was also easy to contact and overall a very pleasant person to work with. I would definitely recommend taking her stats class if you get the chance.

She's a good teacher but lectures can get boring, She gives good resources for test prep. Overall a decent choice for lower Div math classes.

HW for every class but manageable. Class is straightforward, she distributes paper packets and then walks through it with the class. It's math so it's not going to have opportunities to be super engaging but she did a good explaining the material and I mostly enjoyed it. Early release ~2 times. Pay attention, do the study guides, and it's easy

Very easy if you took pre-calc in high school or if you pay attention in class. She gives a paper packet and explains the concepts, walks us through a couple, and then has us try some on our own. HW is heavy sometimes so be aware of weeks with lots of problems, problems aren't too bad though. Not outgoing but does a good job teaching.

She is super sweet and is not a hard grader AT ALL. This class is honestly so light and the tests aren't difficult. I would totally take her again. The notes packets are super helpful and her practice exams help you prepare for the tests!

she is a good professor but she teaches a bit slow which can be nice but annoying too. the note packets are super helpful.

There were 3 tests, 3 assignments, 3 group work, a presentation and a presentation or book report, about weekly quizes. Just do the homework and assignments and study. She is nice, strucutre of the class was chill.

Powers is a solid professor. Attendance is vital and if you can't attend class because you are ill she is very understanding and you can join the Zoom. We do note packets every class which is helpful for homework. Quizzes are fine and make sure you study for the exams. Three exams and cumulative final.

Attendance is important because each class she goes through a note packet where she clearly explains the concepts you need to know for homework and tests. She gives you all the equations you need to know on the tests as well so you only need to understand when to use them. I was rarely confused in this class as Powers is great at explaining stats.

very clear, no homework, tests aren't bad

Professor Powers is a solid math teacher. The lectures are fast-paced, but the recorded videos and practice problems really help. For study prep, I found Unstuckstudy and the textbook super useful. Overall, a challenging but manageable class.

the way she taught her class reminded me of highschool. not very difficult, just a lot of plugging numbers into equations, and she gives you equation sheets on quizzes and exams.

Powers is an AMAZING professor. She gives note packets for her lectures that are super helpful to study and use on homework. There is kind of a lot of homework but it's doable and graded on completion. She explains things very slowly which makes stats a lot easier to understand.

Don't take her once a week stats class, Professor Powers is overall a great and kind person, she also does a solid job teaching, but the course being 2.5 hrs sucks. For the 2nd half of the semester, I hoped a car would hit me and cause me to miss class when I walked there, and if I made it, I would play hangman wishing I was the person in the game.
