Comment:

If you are a woman taking this class, you already have an edge. She seems to dislike the boys and their grades show it. It isn't hard at all to do well if you keep up with the reading... Very opinionated, don't bother trying to argue with her

Comment:

women in religion. As long as you did the reading and participated, Powers was delighted to give you a high grade. Be specific on the tests! If you feel you were unjustly graded, she's usually chill about raising your grade. She's a hippie at heart.

Comment:

Pretentious. Expected students to have knowledge of a doctorate level. Put down students publically if she didn't agree with them. Thinks she's from India. Only good thing is that if you go to her and complain about your grade, she'll usually raise it.

Tough, but informative. If you do the readings and speak during class you will be fine and she will love you.

Comment:

Jan Powers is obviously unhappy in one or more facets of her life and seeks to share that unhappiness with those around her. She was the least effective professor and person I encountered at the Burg.
