She is very nice, easy to understand, and energetic! She teaches from the hardest sections to the easiest. She is very willing to help and really does want you to succeed!
She is really good at being a teacher, in other classes, i usually day dream, but in her class i dont. Im no average A student, but i do suggest her to anyone.
She is a great teacher! Keeps class entertaining, and has real life situations applied in math.
great teacher id take her for every math class i had if i could
Poage is a great teacher. She does not require the textbook, just makes you buy her class notes and sign up for mymathlab to do online homework - which the online homework is short and easy. It is not hard to get an A in her class as long as you listen and follow her with the notes. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER!
She was an amazing teacher, I would take her again if I had to have another math class. She teaches the hardest sections to the easiest, and the hard stuff she makes seem easy. For a class at eight in the morning, I didn't fall asleep once.
I went into the semester thinking math would be my worst class... it turned out that it was my favorite class and the only one I looked forward to going to. I'm not great a math, but Poage gave me confidence in my abilities and I wasn't scared of it anymore. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I can not say enough great things about Dr. Poage. She genuinely cares about her students and is an amazing math teacher and person. TAKE HER!!
Great prof! Wish I could take her for all of my math classes. She truly takes the time to teach the math and not just "lecture"
I dreaded taking calculus at 7:45am, but Dr. Poage was so energetic and passionate about teaching us math... it actually turned out to be my favorite class that semester. I made a C, so not great... but I probably learned more than if I had gotten an A in someone else's class.
GREAT MATH TEACHER!!! Doesn't go super fast and if you attend every class the tests arent hard. The reviews are the most helpful and the math problems are too.. definitely take her. Working hard for an A is possible. Office hours are a must too.
Poage is my favorite professor so far in college (this is my 4th semester). She cares about her students, she cares about the subject, and she is "easy on the eyes"...
Shes a good teacher and cares about students. She is easy to understand. You have to go to every class!! Dont buy the textbook you will not use it. Study your notes for quizzes. In the exams theres always one problem she didnt go over in class or did but briefly. If you go over your notes youll figure it out.
The department this semester decided to tell the profs not to give out a math final review. She is a good teacher but her problems are too hard to use past problems as a review for the final. Also dont do the book work because it is nothing like whats on the test only study the exam reviews because the test questions are more like the exam reviews.
LOVE THIS TEACHER!!!!! She is super helpful and always keeps the class entertained! Would definitely recommend her!
GREAT PROF. She explains everything and will work with you outside of class! I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER. She drops 2 quizzes and 2 homeworks.
Great teacher.. makes it fun but it still is a challenging class.. very clear
Awesome prof! Explains everything clearly and gives you test reviews. Study the reviews and you will ace the tests! I never made lower than a 90 on a test. All homework is on my math labs plus so you can't make less than a 100! TAKE HER!
Dr. Poage is great. She cares about us as people and not just students in her class. She always asks how our weekend was and wants to talk about more than just math. She is invested in us as people. She made the math easy to understand. Went a bit fast, but it's college and that's expected. She gave lots of quizzes, but they helped prepare us for tests. I would totally take her again.
Dr. Poage is great! Wish she taught all my classes. ha!
Best class this semester! She wont stop trying until you understand! Lots of take home quizzes and if you go to her office hours she will basically walk you through them! takes 90% of the test questions from homework, notes, the review, and quizzes. She is the best!
Very helpful. A million opportunities to raise your grade. She makes everything easy and gives plenty of materials to practice.
Mrs. Poage is awesome. Her notes are so clear and she is willing to help whenever she can. I would highly recommend her!
She gives no slack.
Dr. Poage is great! I ended up getting a C in the class only because I bombed the first test. After that, I realized how extremely helpful she actually was and took full advantage of it. She's the best math teacher I've ever had! If you're not good at math PLEASE take her!
She was extremely helpful throughout the semester. Whenever I had a question she was always around to answer it for me and made sure I really understood the material. I made an A in the class ad that was the first time I've made an A in a math class in years. As long as you show up to class and do ALL of the work she assigns, you'll do just fine.
Love her!
I absolutely loved her class! She explains the course very well. Gives take home quizzes, but gives you the option of going to her office hours to get help or to just get your answers checked. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HER! It's never a boring day in her class. She will only help you if you seek for help and she helps SO MUCH.
She cares for her students. Not just that they will succeed in math, but she always asks how you are and really wants to know. She is awesome at teaching the material. I've never understood math until I had her. She offers lots of extra review questions and tons of help if you go see her at her office. My favorite class so far in college!
She gives no mercy to those who don't try, so try. Go to her office hours she will help you on the quizzes
Dr. Poage is an AWESOME teacher!!! For the people that don't enjoy math, she makes it enjoyable. You take several tests, but it helps if you make a bad grade on one of them. If you go to her office hours you can make a 100 on all of your quizzes. She's always willing to help out, and she is very funny and easy to talk to. I recommend her for sure!!
Very friendly and open, quite unusual for a math teacher. She almost begs you to go to office hours for help. She will help you with every homework question if you go to office hours. She also remembers your name quite quickly.
AMAZING PROF!!! She is not easy, but if you do all the work, there is a lot, you will get through these classes! She will always give you extra work and problems if you need them. If you can try to make your schedule so that you are free for her office hours and camp out side her office. She will help you, but you must do the work.
DR. POAGE IS THE BEST! She makes calculus so so easy and not boring. I loved having her. She's such a good teacher and wants you to do well! I recommend taking her, by far my favorite professor.
Dr. Poage was hands down the best professor I have ever had. She truly cared about her students and the outcome of their grades. She was hilarious and made math easy and actually fun! I suck at math and she saved me! She is great at putting things in to a different way for everybody to understand! Seriously, take her.
Dr. Poage actually cares about her students. She was interested in me as a person and not just a student. Go to her office hours. Email her. Get to know her. She is a MUST TAKE whether you are horrible or great at math. LOVED her!
The first time I took this class I failed with another professor, and took it with her a semester later and received an A! She will try to explain things many different ways until you understand, really cares about her students. Has really interesting stories/examples that tie into the subject making it understandable. TAKE HER
She is the best math professor I've ever had! If you ever have a question you can go to her office hour and she will help you. If you can take her, DO IT! She is amazing. I put yes for the textbook because you have to have the code to access mymathlabs
Let me start by saying that I suck at math and no matter what professor I have, I just don't do well. However, Poage is really kind and explains the material until you understand it. Ask her if you ever need help or have questions and she's happy to answer you! DO THE SUGGESTED HOMEWORK and utilize the resources on her webpage!
I looked forward to going to Dr Poage's class everyday! She is such a cool person and makes math so fun.. she is not boring at all and gave us many different ways to do things. I wish all professors were like her honestly!! Take her, she is fantastic!
Going into this class I was nervous of the difficulty and material but Dr. Poage was super easy to work with and to understand from the get go. She is super enthusiastic and makes every class enjoyable. She really tries to get everyone to understand each topic by various examples. The material is a bit tough but she teaches everything really well.
She is super funny and outgoing. she makes the class really fun and not just all about math. shes also very helpful
I had Dr. Poage for 1325 and I absolutely LOVED her. She is extremely good at math and she cares about her students. She gives lots of resources and homework problems to help you prepare for her exams, which I found easy if you put in the usual studying and effort. She is very helpful. You can go to her office hours which are always helpful!
Dr. Poage is a GREAT prof. I took her for 1324 and 1325. She seriously dumbs stuff down so ANYONE can understand calculus. I was terrible at math and made A's in both her classes. She doesn't give extra credit but you have enough take- home quizzes and online homework to balance your grade out. Seriously she's the best. and hilarious. TAKE HER!!!!!
After all the pros on this prof, I took her! Big mistake. Very difficult to get in touch with due to her office hours were during my classes. Does not give partial credit on tests. Reviews are nothing like tests. She was very nice but even after going to tutor, it was not a good class for me. Tutor even said she graded very hard and picky!
I didn't know what to expect going into the class. I suck at math and she was the only prof teaching this class so I had no choice. What a stroke of luck! She was AMAZING! Hands down the best college instructor I have ever had. She cared about us outside of class as well as being able to teach ME math!! TAKE HER! I'm glad I got to know her
I'm full time A&M and went to Blinn just because I had heard so many great things about her. Problem is her class fills up in like 20 minutes after registration opens. I had to keep checking back online for a week until someone dropped and I got in. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. She narrows it down for you and puts homework questions on her tests. LOVED her
Dr. Poage is so amazing! This is my 2nd time taking this class and it's eye opening how easy it can be to learn from one professor when it seemed impossible to learn from Milani. Night and day difference. Take Poage.
I absolutely love her. She is so funny and if you dont understand anything, she will gladly come and explain it to you until you get it. Also, if youre having a bad day, she is very caring and will talk to you about it.
Dr. Poage is so caring towards her students. She teaches hard material but puts it in perspective for everyone to understand. Homework almost every night but tests come straight from it. Lots of take home quizzes but they ultimately help your grade.
Professor Poage is a great teacher, but an even better person. She truly wants you to succeed, but will not give you grades you don't deserve. Do ALL the homework and quizzes and you'll get an A.
Shes a great professor! cares greatly for her students and well help with as much as she can
I love Dr. Poage!! She is an amazing teacher and genuinely wants you to do well. She is always available during office hours for help with online homework and take home quizzes. Love her so much I'm taking her again next semester!
Such an amazing teacher. Ask question in class. She is so helpful and a great teacher. DO THE REVIEWS!!! Many of her test are the exact problems with different names. Wonderful teacher and would defiantly recommend.
She is fun in class and does a good job teach, however, she teaches at a fast pace. She will definitely help you though. The tests to me were more tough than I expected, I made As and Bs on the homework and quizzes and Cs and Ds on the tests. The project is actually kind of fun but start working on it in advance. Pretty good reviews for the tests.
Really Enjoyed the Class. I've taken her for 1324 and 25. If you can have a good understanding and so the reviews she puts on websites for the exams they will be extremely easy since they're same questions but with different numbers. Just by doing this I was able to get an A on every exam and when the final came I could just score 50 and keep an A.
She was such a great teacher. She gave a lot of take home quizzes and allowed you to go to her office hours to work on them and she would help you till you got a 100 on them, and help with the HW. Her reviews online are also super helpful since the exams were basically the same thing. She was so nice and funny and was a great person to talk to.
Dr. Poage is one in a million! She knows how to teach math, shes fair, and most importantly she gets to know each of her students. She genuinely cares about whats happening in your life. She gives lots of take home quizzes, but you can go to her office for help with them and you wont leave until youve made 100. Her tests are like her notes.
I love Dr. Poage! She really helps me understand and makes a 7:45 am class bearable. I highly recommend her. She is one of the best math teachers that I have ever had.
Its just a relief to actually have a professor who cares about me as a human being and isnt out to trick me on tests or prove they are smartest. She made learning fun. I enjoyed going to her class. Would totally take her again.
Dr. Poage is the best professor I've ever had, she really cares. She gives 5 exams and a final, her exams are exactly like her reviews so do those right before a test and you'll do well. She gives quizzes but if you need help, ask her and you'll get a 100 on them. If you struggle with math or even if you're good & you have the chance TAKE POAGE!!!
Professor Poage was an amazing math teacher. She is always available for questions and you can tell she loves to teach math. I would definitely recommend her and as long as you study the class notes you will be good on the test. The only downside is that she does not curve or give extra credit.
Dr. Poage is truly the best math professor I've ever had. She makes the material easy to learn and truly cares about all of her students. She is hilarious and makes class fun. She gives a decent amount of work but only to make sure students understand the material. Just do all of your work, go to her office hours & pay attention in class for an A!
Dr. Poage is the best math professor/teacher I have ever had in all my years of school. She is just the best when it comes to teaching Calculus! Of course you have the typical homework and exams, however with the take home quizzes you can go to her office hours to check before class for a guaranteed 100 every time and she helps with homework.
Absolutely loved her as a prof. She gives a lot of homework, but it is super manageable. It's all on MyMathLab. Lots of quizzes, midterm, and final- that's it. If you follow the agenda sheet she asks you to print- you will be good to go. She does warn you the first day that you need dry-erase board, TI93/94 calc, compass, and ruler.
Dr. Poage: Yes! She supplied fill-in-the-blank notes which made it that much easier to take notes and memorized all of her students' names by the third class. There are frequent quizzes she mentions ahead of time; you can go in her office, get feedback, and repeat until you get a 100. She did in-person exams which is easy if you need help from her.
I waited to take math until my senior year because Im horrible at it. That is, until I took Dr. Poage. She records her own personal video lectures which explained the concepts in a way even I could understand. She constantly reminded us to contact her if we needed help in life & in general. Ive never had a prof care for her students so much.
Dr. Poage was an amazing prof! She's so funny and nice. If you're ahead in the class, she doesn't even mind if you show up or not as long as you are keeping up with your work! Her lectures were so good and made the material a piece of cake to learn. She's a great teacher and always answers outside of class. I even signed up for her math1325 course!
THE BEST PROF EVER! Easily the nicest lady who CARES, and will help with ANYTHING!! She says to only come to class if you have a question, so everything is self-paced and EASY in 8 weeks. I went 3 times. That was it. And you can just text her with a question and she will post a video of it. Buy her notes, watch her vids, do the work, get an easy A!
Love her! I watched the drop/add multiple times a day every day for 2 wks til a spot opened in her class & I snagged it. And Im soooo glad I did! She actually asks how we are doing in class and life. She understands that life is happening and she cares... but She still expected a lot of us in class and Im glad. This class builds character.
The best math teacher I have ever had. she makes everything very simple and she is super nice and helpful. She will do her best to make you pass. I zoomed in at ticket pull and we talked about Aggie football for 15 min. she is amazing. 100/10 would take her. Best math teacher out there.
Dr. Poage made MATH 1325 super easy and understandable. "Low de high minus high de low, over the square of what's below" is one of the phrases she used to help us memorize equations we were required to know for the departmental exam. She encouraged us to come to class with problems so she could do them in class, and she sent out frequent emails.
seriously the only math professor you should sign up for. fill in the blank style notes (with tons of practice problems) she posts videos for, 2 attempts on quizzes, 2 attempts on reviews, easy tests, and no attendance necessary. completely self-paced. she is the BEST. do yourself a favor and sign up for her class as soon as you can.
I've always struggled with math but I found myself doing well and enjoying my homework because of Dr. Poage. She's absolutely AMAZING and I can't recommend her enough. She explains everything so well and makes sure everyone understands it. If you aren't the strongest in math, I HIGHLY suggest taking her courses. If I could rate her 100/10 I would!!
THE BEST PROF!! Take her for both MATHs! Class isn't mandatory, her lectures are posted, fill in the blank notes, hw, 2 attempts on quizzes, 5 tests & final. Math isn't easy, but she goes above & beyond to help you learn! Easily one of the best profs, and she cares so much! I HATE calculus and have a 99 in the class, all because of her!!! 1000/10
By far the most amazing prof ever! You will know exactly what is on all of the exams if you do all the homework and quizzes and understand the material the exams are not hard. Very Straight forward class and extremely organized.
Dr. Poage has been my favorite professor so far. Her class is very organized and her lectures are so easy to understand. She takes her time to work thru each concept step by step and allows you to work ahead on everything but the final. I don't think I've had an A in any math class ever, but I do in this one. If you need a math cred, take her class
Dr. Poage has been my favorite prof during my first 2 years of college. She explained the math concepts in a way that made sense and she encouraged us to ask questions. She created a relaxed, fun learning environment. Two thumbs up for Dr. Poage.
She made math actually tolerable. She always had stories to tell us that tied into our lessons. Taught us tricks on how to remember things. And truly cared about her students. You can tell she loves what she does.
Took her for an 8-wk class on accident. She was always so energetic and willing to help. We would finish class early and work on HW and our Quizzes with her help. Exams were reworded from her Reviews and if you did them you would make an A. Has a great sense of humor and would tell stories that were relevant to the lecture. TAKE HER IF YOU CAN!!!!!
TAKE HER
Literally the best math prof ever if you can take her do it!! She's always wanting to help and is super kind and approachable. Would for sure take her again.
Dr. Poage is the best! She jokes about us loving math but in reality she took a subject I have not liked since junior high and made me like it again. Easy to understand, very approachable and likes us to ask questions. Totally am recommending her to everyone.
I've taken two of her classes (1324&1325) and I could not recommend her enough. She's genuinely made me love math, and I look forward to class. She's the best professor I've ever had. Take her, just do it.
Dr. Poage is an amazing professor all around; she keeps your attention during lectures and is beyond willing to help outside of class. The material is relatively easy and makes it impossible for students to be confused. If you take Dr. Poage, you will not be disappointed.
I am not good at math at all and for a second I did think there was a possibility that I was not going to pass her class but she give extra credit , which really helps, she is such a good professor , she really cares about her students. She will help with homework and exams. I honestly feel like if I can do it , anybody can. 10/10 recommend.
Im sad only have two maths to take with her. She is the epitome of what an amazing professor should be. The best. Take her.
Ive had her for both maths now. There is a lot of homework and its not easy, but she does care about her students. Shes really nice it just depends if youre good at math or not.
Absolute best professor. Makes even hard concepts easy with so many easy ways to remembers things and explains everything so well. She gives multiple reviews for her tests and if you study those you are good. She will also email you videos explaining any homework problems that you may need help with if you email her. Couldn't recommend enough
Dr. Poage was amazing. Ive never been all that good at math and while Im still not great, she was able to help me understand and pass this class (third time to take this class). She truly cared if you understood and practically begged us to ask questions in class. Best prof Ive had so far!
Poage is the best prof Ive ever had. She cares about her students. She asks how we are doing outside of class. She offers extra practice and tutorials if we need it for the harder material. I could not have ask for better. She totally lives up to the hype. Take her! You wont regret it.
Dr. Poage was an amazing prof. Just take her, trust me you wont regret it
Shes never fast paced, and doesnt give any kind of extra credit. She doesnt really help you if youre failing and doesnt curve anything. I wouldnt take again.
It was an 8week class so things went a bit fast as expected. But she regularly stopped the lesson and practically begged us to ask questions. Shes amazing. Ive never been good at math but Dr. Poage makes it doable and Im borderline A/B! Take her. Best prof Ive ever had! Wish I had her for math 1324 as well.
Dr. Poage is great! She explains everything at a level even I could understand it. She encouraged us to stay and work in our homeworks and quizzes and she would make sure we had a 100 on them before the class was over. 2 hrs and 40 min is a LONG time to do calculus. But Poage made it manageable and I did really well in the class.
Dr. poage is so organized. Her online classes are set up where it just walks you through what to do. She records her own video lectures rather than the generic textbook videos. She responds to emails quickly. I highly recommend her.
I was so worried taking this class online during a summer session. But Dr. Poage was great at responding to my emails right away. She also gave several extra credit opportunities (like the reviews for the tests which I was going to do anyway). I ended the class with an A and Ive never made an A in math ever. Dr. Poage is awesome.
I hate math, but Dr. Poage made me sort of enjoy it. She explains things in a way that I actually understood she would tell stories that helped us to remember certain concepts. Holds your attention, which has never happened for me in a math class before. Take her shes awesome.
Nothing can say that hasnt already been said. I feared this 8 week class and she made it my favorite class to attend. I wouldnt say I love math now but I certainly dont fear it. She brought back my confidence. Dr. Poage is amazing.
No idea why this professors rating is good. Was not helpful and did not teach.
This was my third time taking this class. Dr. Poage is great at explaining everything and truly cares if you are understanding. Not an easy class but the prof can make or break you in it. With Dr. Poage I was able to earn a B. Wish I had taken her the first time.
Dr. Poages classes fill up insanely fast. I didnt get in at first but I checked several times a day every day until a spot opened up and then literally planned my schedule around her class. Worth it! First time Ive ever understood math.
I took Poage in the 8 week math 1324 course and was it easy? No, it is a double paced math course however; she is the best math teacher I have ever had, and I actually came out of the class having learned a lot. She is the best. She prepares you so well and just wants you to love math.
She is a sweet heart and a good teacher but DO NOT take her class in a mini-mester. There is no time to learn material. You are completing one task and on to the next. All test are on Honorlock.
I took Dr Poage in a wintermester (12 class days). She was so organized which helped me a ton. I like to know when things are due and specific instructions and she had daily announcements. She also let us zoom appointments with her to get extra help. I would not take a minimester again, but I would def take Poage again.
The absolute best! She made taking math as an 8-week course very doable. She cares deeply for her students and is always willing to help out. She has the ability to make math lessons fun. She even lets students stay after class to work on homework and quizzes and she will help you out with them. Her tests are average, use the review to study.
One of my favorite professors Math isn't one of my best subjects and it's not interesting to me, however she made her lectures so entertaining and made math slightly enjoyable for me. She makes an effort to get to know all of her students. She gives you the option to stay during class and do your homework so you can ask questions, which I recommend
I LOVE DR. POAGE!! She made math very interesting where you wanted to learn it. I had to drop this class before with a different professor and took her and ended up with an A in the class. She wants you to succeed and is always wanting to help. She cares deeply about you, throughout the course and outside of class with life.
Dr. Poage is the best. I have never been good at math and she made the class enjoyable with the stories she tells sand taught stuff in a way that I could understand. Not saying I like math now, but it was my favorite class this semester. I highly recommend her.
Honestly, I never liked math but Professor Poage helped me enjoy math. She knows what she's teaching and cares for her students. The class is also very well set up and straight forward. One of the best professors I've met so far.
I've never done well in math, but Professor Poage has a way of teaching that brings difficult concepts down to a level I understood. The class wasn't easy, but she made it very doable. We had HW for every section and Quizzes every other section (grade boosters). 4 exams and a final. I would absolutely take another math with Poage. amazing.
Look no further. TAKE HER! Never liked math until now, but after taking her class, I'm majoring in architecture. There are reviews for every exam that count as quiz grades but also extra credit for exams. She tells you exactly what to study for exams. I took a flex online 16 week, but her videos and homework help made it so easy to understand!
Take her for an easy A. Took her for a May minimester and it was a lot of work but definitely doable! Very organized, makes due dates clear, gives extra credit, responds quickly and tries to help.
This was my 2nd time taking MATH 1350. I wish I had taken Poage the first time. She is very organized and is able to teach things on a level that I even understood. I would totally take her again! Wish I could have taken her in person.
Dr. Poage is the best math teacher I have ever had. Build your schedule around her classes!!!
Dr. Poage goes above and beyond when it come to teaching her students, providing extra practice problems, and being available outside of the classroom to help. Easily, the best professor I've had my first 1.5 years of college. Do not be afraid to ask for extra help.
Dr. Poage is the best!
I LOVE Dr. POAGE!!! She is an AMAZING teacher!! I enjoyed her class and her assignments were REALLY easy!! I even ended up getting a 100 on the FINAL!! PLEASE TAKE HER, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!! :))
Dr. Poage is hands down one of the best math professors I will ever have. She is always ready to help, super funny, understanding, and her lectures make so much sense. She explains the material super well. She also allows a lot of collaboration on things or help from her to boost your grade. Amazing professor, I would take her again.
Dr. Poage was great. I love how she made videos of extra practice problems so we could go back and watch them at our own pace. She always asked how we were doing and knew each of our names. I felt actually enjoyed going to class. I would absolutely take another class with her. AMAZING!
Dr. Poage is by far one of the best professors I've ever had. She make math very easy and has fantastic lectures. Gives so much extra credit on tests and the online hw is super easy. Honestly if you go to class and pay attention, you will pass. Cannot recommend her enough!
Dr. Poage is the BEST!!! She really cares about her students. You can contact her at about any time and she will get back to you with an answer. I am so bad at math but she made it less dreadful. She makes concepts really simple to understand.
I took this during Winter-mester which I went into knowing it would be fast and furious. Dr. Poage was quick to reply to my emails & ?'s and went into the online tests to give us partial credit back for showing our work on a whiteboard. She's amazing! I would NOT take math in a mini-mester again but I would TOTALLY take Poage again. 2 thumbs up!
I'm taking this class in an 8-week session which I was told not to do. But Dr. Poage is awesome and I'm almost done. I have a B+ right now and I have NEVER been good at math. It's intense, but she is a very good teacher & cares about her students. STAY and do your HW/Quizzes at the end of each class and she helps you! Put in the time & it's fine
TAKE DR. POAGE! I don't usually rate my profs but Dr. Poage has simply been the best professor. She really cares about her students and even knows everyones names. If you really show effort, she will see that and help you out. Learning all of business calc in 8wks is difficult as is, but Dr. Poage makes it so much easier than it could have been.
This class is not easy, & I am terrible in math, specifically calculus, but I would take Poage again. There are 5 exams & the final. HW after every unit & you get 2 attempts on the quizzes. She does offer some extra credit for the unit exams, so do take advantage. The reviews are pretty similar to the exams, & she gives us 2 reviews for each exam.
I'm horrible at math, and the speed of an 8-week calculus class was insane... but I would totally recommend it if you can get Dr. Poage. She cares about her students. She drops 2 homeworks and 1 or 2 quiz grades and gave a couple of extra credit opportunities. She gives good reviews and always responds quickly to emails/texts. Highly recommend.
I went into the semester dreading calculus, and it was fast-paced, but Dr. Poage has an Assignment Due Date tracker that tells you when everything is due for the entire semester. It was very organized and she told us exactly how to study and what to expect. No surprises. Study the reviews and you are good to go for the tests. Two thumbs up!
THE MOST INCREDIBLE PROFESSOR! This is my second semester with Dr. Poage and she's amazing! I was so worried about taking calculus in 8 weeks and she's made it more than doable. She's always willing to help and very easy to reach outside of class. Stay after class and do the quizzes!! Cannot recommend her enough, seriously amazing!
I have had Dr. Poage for math 1324 and 1325, all of her reviews are so true! She is the best math teacher I have ever had! She turns these difficult math courses into something I enjoy learning with her natural humor. I advise you to do the Quizzes while you are in class so she will ensure you get a 100! BEST TEACHER!! I'll miss her class!
She was kind and a great professor. I failed because of my own problems, nothing she did. She gave many opportunities for help and was very understanding. She wants her students to succeed and sets them to do so. I had 3 hour lectures but she made the time fly and it was a good use of time. If lecture finished early she gave class time for quizzes.
Dr. Poage made taking math online doable. She has an Assignment Due Date sheet that she gives at the beginning that has when every assignment is due, though everything is open and she lets you work ahead as much as you like. Watching her lecture videos is crucial as she teaches you easier ways to solve problem then MML shows. Poage is Awesome!
I'm SO glad I took Professor Poage for this class. Her lecture videos were amazing and spot on for the assignments. The tests were just like the homeworks and quizzes. Tests are proctored through Honorlock and had to show work on whiteboard for every single problem but she watch videos and gave back partial credit! Would totally take her again!
amazing prof!! took this class as a 5 week summer session online, and she was extremely helpful. she was very easy to reach outside of class and goes over each problem specifically that you may need help with. all exams were honorlock, and she goes back to watch them and give extra credit. would definitely take her again!!
I was so lucky to get into Dr. Paige's class. She explains the material well, loves it when students ask questions, and is easy to talk to. She truly wants her students to succeed. She is the epitome of an amazing professor who goes above and beyond for her students.
This is my 2nd time to take this class. Wish I would have had Dr. Poage the first time. She's very organized and tells us up front how many homeworks, quizzes, and tests we will have and the dates of each. She records her lectures and posts them. Would def take her again!
Dr. Poage is an amazing math professor. Her lectures are super helpful, and she's always there to assist students. I found tools like Unstuck study really useful for studying. Would definitely take her class again!
I'm not the best at math, but Dr. Poage made expectations very clear and reminded us many times when assignments were due. She made the material seem easier than the last prof I had for this course. It's insane how much difference the professor can make on the same course. Take Poage. She cares and is good at what she does.
One of the best math professors iv ever had. Decent extra credit opportunities and lots of extra videos online that explain the homework super well.
on 1st day of class, Poage gave us the dates when every assignment would be due. She said we could work ahead as much as we wanted and would get extra credit for completing tests 24 hrs before due date. she posts videos of how to do the harder HW questions. tests are directly from the reviews. 8 week moves fast, but Poage makes it straight forward
Prof. Poage is priceless. I tried to get in her class twice before and they switched schedules on me but i got in this spring and it was worth the wait. She teaches in a way i actually understand and I am not a math person at all. She even made 2 hr 40 min class entertaining. It's a lot of work, but she makes it doable. 2 thumbs up!
Just finished 8 week MATH 142 with Poage... it was fast and intense... but she is good. This was my 3rd time taking this class and the first time I understood it. She made the criteria for her grading very clear from the beginning. No tricky tests... very similar to reviews. She taught us random things to help us remember stuff. Great Prof!
As an 8 week math class this was challenging and hard, but Dr.Poage made it worth it, I had a hard time with this class because of how fast paced it was, but she showed us a bunch of ways to memorize which helped a lot, if I took her for a 16 week I would've gotten a much better grade. She makes the 2hrs and 40min class go by fast. Def Recommend!
By far the best math teacher at blinn. Going in I thought I was going to struggle but she made Calculus easy to understand and taught it in a way that made sense. Class is very fast paced but if you stay on top of it you will excel. 5 total exams worth 62% of the average. About an exam a week.
Best professor I have had in college by FAR. I took math 140 with Poage and stayed in TEAM an extra year JUST to be able to have Poage as my 142 professor. She is amazing, I could praise her for hours. She genuinely cares about every one of her students and wants nothing more than for every student to succeed. I ended both Math courses with an A!
One word - Orgnized. I loved this class because Poage was so organized. She recorded her own lectures (not the books videos) and taught lots of tricks to learn the math. Unlimited attempts at homeworks, 2 attempts at Quizzes. Tests were on honorlock (1 attempt) but the test was just like the review. No surprises. Would take again in a heartbeat.
Dr. Poage is an AMAZING professor. she takes the time to know her students on a personal level and makes navigating the online homework incredibly easy. she is super organized and teaches in a way that is easy for me, someone who is incredibly bad at math, to understand. if you can take her i definitely would.
I took her for an 8w in person, she is by far the best math prof. She made math so easy to understand, this is coming from someone who's highest math in highschool was algebra 2, which i failed btw. She does give extra credit out of nowhere so be sure to attend class. And her tests are identical to her reviews. Easy A if you put in the work.
Take 1325 with Dr. Poage! I took 1325 with another professor and failed the course, but having Poage as a professor made a night and day difference, and I was able to understand calc for once. Her class is very organized and she encourages you to ask for help. Tests are straightforward and exactly like the review, so do it and you'll be good.
Dr. Poage was able to teach my calculus… which is saying a lot since I've never been good at math and had attempted this class twice already. This time it made sense with Poage teaching it and I have a solid B going into the last week of an 8 week class. Do whatever it takes to get in her class. Do the extra practice problems and reviews.
Best math teacher I think i've ever had not doubt.
Poage was great! I dreaded taking this class and put it off until my senior year. Went to office hours twice a week and she was always helpful. Always a smile on her face.
Her videos are so helpful! I took an online class of hers, so I was on my own time, but her videos really helped. They aren't too lengthy maybe just a few. If you do good on tests, you will be just fine passing her class. She offers up too 11 points of extra credit for exams! Highly recommend taking her class if you are able too!
I would give Dr. Poage my firstborn child if I could; not much else needed to be said. Just take her.
Dr. Poage is an amazing professor and taught the material in a way that was easy to understand. Took her as an 8-week and finished the course with an A. She will equip you with the necessary algebra skills in order to learn the calculus. No tricky tests, just master the exam reviews, and you will make an A on her exams! Take her class!
