Such a great professor. So conscientious, fun, and understanding! Watch one movie per week, discuss with your peers, and write a paper or two throughout the semester. His instructions are clear, grades extremely fairly, and doesn't try to make the class overly difficult or burdensome. Give it your honest best, and you will be rewarded with an A!

Even if you don't like literature, Professor Powers will make you enjoy it! I LOVE him, and I've never met him! His online class makes you feel so welcomed and he posts so many inspiration quotes that make you want to try! He is so helpful and kind! I am more of a biology student, but honestly I preferred this class over my BIO107.

It's called Lit for a reason- this class was seriously lit. I wasn't expecting to love *another* literature, but I do! You WILL love having this professor. He inspires me to try my best!

I enjoyed the online course I took with professor powers. He made me enjoy women's lit that I kept my books. Gives great feedback as well and one of the few midterms and finals I enjoyed taking

a lot of reading, yes, but the discussion posts were pretty liberal. as long as it was clear that you read the assignments and understood the concept you were graded well. extremely helpful and super easy (if you like to read)

I never met Rich face-to-face, however, he is really an excellent teacher. He gives excellent feedback to the students, explains assignments extremely well, and gives insight to working on harder assignments. I would definitely recommend him.

This was my favorite class! Professor Powers is lenient and gives great feedback. There was quite a bit of reading but that's to be expected in a literature class. The course was mostly discussion boards and as long as you form some type of opinion, you will pass. The midterm was easy and the final was open book. Absolutely LOVED this class!

Professor Powers really cares about his students! He gives great feedback and will always respond if you reach out. For women's lit, the readings can get complicated but THAT'S LITERATURE. Heavy on reading and writing but to a reasonable extent. No busywork, but critical thinking involved. Love, love this class.

Lots of reading but he makes it easy by choosing stimulating texts. You must read and try to understand the texts to do well. Prof Powers gives great feedback and focuses on your strengths in posts to other students. He is very flexible if unexpected situations arise. I would definitely take again! One of the best...

Professor made the assignments very clear every week. Also quite generous with due dates for the weekly readings. A lot of heavy reading, but hey, its college! Most of the class dropped out for this reason, I suppose. There are weekly discussion boards that are very straight-forward. Very independent work. You will fail if you wont read and post!

I had Professor Powers for my online African American Literature online course. I love Professor Poweres he is an awesome teacher even online. I wish I couldn't take his classes on campus. Professor Powers is very understanding and down to earth, the course wasn't easy and you have to put in major work. I highly recommend Professor Powers.

Comment:
I took women's literature from Powers and although it was a CDL class, he still provided (written) lectures, which is rare, I'm finding. The course materials were dry in the beginning, but not the teachers fault. As the semester progressed the reading became more interesting. The assignments were challenging but rewarding.
