Reviews of professor Emily Fox

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Kyle is one of the best professors at UTD. The course CS6319 Computation Geometry is something that you would enjoy learning if you like Geometry. There was no exam. We had the flexibility to choose a project idea (any CG project that aligns with our track). As a person, Dr. Kyle is very supportive professor! Wishing him all the very best :)

He is such a good professor and he is really knowledgeable about what he teaches. The class is a hard class no matter which professor you take so just trying to find an easy professor will be challenging. He also is very helpful in office hours, I went to his all the time for homework help. There was a curve and extra credit assignment in my class

I cannot express to you enough how much I love Mrs. Emily Fox. She is literally one of the best teacher I've ever had! She is personable, funny, inspirational, helpful, and just all round an amazing human being. Love her to death.

She doesn't teach, instead she makes her students do busy work like PearDecks or arbitrary assignments like "scavenger hunts" while she sits at her desk on her computer. She does not sympathize with her students and the struggles that some of us have. She calls us "children". She doesn't feel like teaching so we navigate the class by ourselves.

This particular professor is very unclear about her grading criteria, not only will she change the rubric the day before something is due but will change the due date. If you are like me, this drives me crazy. She also does not follow her syllabus. The workload is very inconsistent. The models that is provided often does not follow the rubric.

Adv. Algorithms is a difficult class, however Professor Fox teaches it so well. He is very organized and prepared for each of his lectures. Everything is online via his website if you don't want to attend (however I really recommend you do). Sure, there is a lot of difficult homework, but it is good practice for the midterms/finals.

Kyle Fox is amazing, and my favorite professor so far at UTD. He is extremely knowledgeable in the field of algorithms, especially graph traversal and min flow/ max cut. Would highly recommend taking, his homeworks are very difficult, but they reflect what you will see on the midterm/final (and your interviews! they pull questions from this course)

Course: Computational Geometry. He may be the best Professor in UTD. I've not seen a professor with level of preparedness close to him. He's understanding, patient and provides good feedback. His notes alone are enough to understand the topics taught and he presents even the toughest topics in easy to understand manner.
