Reviews of professor Scott Emrich

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Honestly one of my favorite classes as I look back on my degree before graduating. Dr. Emrich is kind and willing to help. In lectures we learned the theories and background info and labs were for learning code and how to do the algorithms.

Dr. Scott is definitely one of the better comp sci professors at UTK. I had him for both 202 and 302 last year, and I did well in both classes by (mostly) paying attention in lecture and using his and Plank's notes for the labs. TAs are usually helpful, but it's a hit or miss every semester. Labs were never insanely hard. Mention Chaiyo's :)

It's a hard class with difficult subject matter but Emrich's way of teaching it is probably the most fair way I have ever seen a class graded. Absolutely a breath of fresh air in the CompSci department. Go to office hours and watch the lab videos and you'll do fine. Tests closely match the subjects covered in the labs.

I enjoyed having Dr. Scott for 202. You can tell he cared that everyone was on the same page and gave us lots of opportunities to ask questions about the topics we were going over in class. And most importantly start your labs early.

Dr. Emrich is a great professor who presented the material in a very clear way. He handled the transition to online classes elegantly and made it easy to follow along (unlike some online classes). His tests/HW were fair.

Emrich was honestly one of my worst professors yet. He would take 2 weeks to respond to any questions unless asked in person. His TAs were the same way. I had a problem with the TA for several weeks and could not get a response from either. A ton of workload, spent most of my time on this class. Would not recommend Emrich to anyone.
