Comment:

Mr. Powers is a good math teacher. If you need help, he will definitely do what it takes to show you how to do a certain problem. He accepts late homework and allows makeups on the test if you miss the test day. He explains everything step by step and is in the Math Lab if you need help. The class is pretty easy.

Comment:

Probably one of the worst profs i've had. I think it is his age, he seems to mess up a lot. He is not very clear, and his tests are hard, and he assigns way too much homework. He is a very kind person, but I think he should lower levels of math. This type of math is just too in-depth and requires clear lectures. I would not take him for calculus.

Comment:

I see all of these positive comments and I don't understand them, I had a terrible time in this class. His "notes" were incorrect and he wasn't clear on what he wanted us to do. On more than one occasion he assigned us a problem that he couldn't do himself. Perhaps it was because it was an early class, but I do not recommend this professor.

Great teacher! He's very sweet, and loves to help students out when they need help. If I could, I'd take this teacher for the rest of my math classes. His tests are relevant to homework and lectures in class. Overall, he is a great teacher.

Comment:

Great math professor, highly recommend. He explained things in calculus/stats very clearly, provided a lot of help on homework, but was kind of boring in stats. He did collect homework but the tests were influenced by it. His calculus class was cool, one of the best classes I've taken at MJC.

Comment:

Mr. Power's lectures may seem a little on the slow and dry side, but he is very passionate about math and cares about the success of his students. He is also available in the math lab for extra help. Plan on two hours of homework or study time daily if you want to do well. He and his wife are so cute together!

He looks like he's serious and boring, but in fact he's a really interesting teacher. His lectures sometimes don't explain everything for his assignments, but he's always glad to help in his office and pretty permissive of late homework.

I found this class VERY difficult, not just because of the material, but the teacher was SO BORING. I could barely stay awake, and he was difficult to understand at times. He couldn't always answer everyone's questions, and his lectures seamed un-planned...

Comment:

He's a nice guy that really does want to help and teach you the materials. However, I don't like the fact that he doesn't olan out his lectures ahead of time, he seems to improvise as he goes. This results in confusion and unclearity. If he ahd a plan, the lectures would go very smooth.

He's very thorough when answering a question someone asks, but sometimes doesn't have the answer. I think he's a great teacher and if you wanna actually learn something from your math class, rather than just getting a grade and moving on, I would suggest him! My major is math so actually learning the material is really important to me and his class is perfect for that!

Comment:

Pretty solid teacher, he's a great guy. Sometimes he gets into certain theories where people seem to be puzzled and he can't exactly answer the questions sometimes. I understand math fairly well anyway so it's fine for me, but sometimes he just can't explain it right. But about 95% of the time he does
