Comment:

Will artificially fail you. Very vague about what makes up your final grade. I got above average on all my tests and got full credit on the homework, and still got a D+. He makes the tests so unnecessarily hard that the average is usually between 50-60 % and he doesn't curve at all. The average score on the final was 34%. Also wont respond to email

Avoid at all costs. So much homework. He expects 12-15 hours of work per week to get the work done for class. I find myself spending that much just on the learning, that doesn't include studying or online quizzes or tests - and I'm pretty decent at math. This class has an absolutely insane amount of work, and you learn way too much.

If youre like me and youre a complete dunce at math then I would highly recommend getting into any of Poores math courses. Hes super patient and will keep working with you until you grasp whatever formula youre struggling with. After I passed his 990 course, I would come back to his office for help on my 1010 and my 1030 homework.

Mr Poore is one of the best professors I've had, but the Math 1080 class is so hard. I would recommend taking 1050 AND 1060 as the Calculus prerequisites unless you've already taken years of precalc and upper algebra. The class is very difficult. I'm just glad I had Mr Poore instead of someone else otherwise there's no way I would make it through.

I took this class as a virtual course, and I had an awful experience. The zoom meetings are very difficult to get much out of and the grades are almost entirely based on the 2-3 hour exams that are taken in the testing center. I passed this class using Khan Academy, which I recomend to any students taking difficult math classes.

He was so unorganized and it was tough to learn through the zoom classes it got better at the end as he got a hold of how to run the class room

Darrel was one of the nicest math teachers I have ever had and when I had troubles on math homework he would respond by email very fast. He was a little off the planned schedule but it was the first semester doing all online due to Covid-19. Overall great math teacher.

Semester started off really rough with everything virtual. I've had to teach myself a lot through the textbook and youtube videos. And he takes forever to get grades back to you. But he does want to help and has gotten better throughout the semester.

Considering I took this during the pandemic where no in-person instruction or tutoring was given, I'd say he's a good professor. He always responded to emails in a timely manner and kept the class informed on any changes. He was limited in how he could help, but I wish he would've done weekly lessons or tutorials as I had to teach myself.

I took his online class while this class is mainly just through Math Labs Plus he was fast at responding to my emails and would fix my dumb mistakes on quizzes. He was also very understanding and helped us out during this pandemic. I recommend him!

Darrell does a good job lecturing and teaching the material, he also does a good job helping students and answering questions before a test, however he can be very difficult to get a hold of outside of class but otherwise is pretty lenient and will sometimes change your grade on test if he sees you made a dumb mistake on a question.

Darrel is interesting. One of the coolest guys you will meet. Took three classes with him. 1010 and below he is great. 1080 however, he is a different animal. Classwork, and tests only look vaguely similar. VERY HARD TESTS. He also is a brutal grader. He doesnt curve generally and wont give extra credit. But he will help you after class.

Prof. Poore was incredible, by far one of my favorite professors! He explains everything thoroughly and clearly and if you still need extra help he's more than willing to help. He's really goofy and caring and he WANTS you to pass! There is homework everyday but it's really helpful for quizzes and exams. �� recommend him!

He does a really good job of explaining things well for those who struggle with math but also keeping those more adept engaged. Do NOT expect something you turned in today on canvas tonight, it will get there just not quickly. His hand writing is sloppy but if you're slightly paying attention it shouldn't be a problem. Great guy I totally recommend

Literally the best math professor I've ever had! He works through the problems on the board and as long as you copy what he writes, you'll definitely learn the math. He answers any and all questions in class. If you have further questions after class, just go to his office and he'll help you out! Awesome professor!

One of the best math teachers I have ever had. If i was ever confused on a subject, he would stay after class and step by step re-teach it. I'm very poor at math and he explained it in a very understandable and coherent way. If you pay attention everything should be easy.

Really hard to understand during a lecture, he always goes off track from the point, and drags out one subject way too long. Overall, he's a nice professor but his teaching style wasn't the best (as a person who struggles with math, and did all the work on time, I struggled)

He takes plenty of time to make sure you understand what he is saying. If you are struggling with a question, he is available in his office to clarify any confusion. However, he did not stick to the schedule and we did not have a ton of notice before any of the chapter tests. But I would very highly recommend this professor.
