Dr. Fox is fantastic! She encourages exploration, thought, and creativity and is funny, engaging, and really smart. She clearly cares deeply about her students and field. I can't say enough good things about her and her class! Take one with her before you graduate! (But be prepared to read!)

Comment:

Professor Fox's Reading Violence ENG 110 course is great, and highly interesting. Classes are mainly centered around class discussion, so reading your materials is a must, and be prepared to speak in every class. It is extremely hard to get an A on any assignments, but her papers and midterm/final are super easy.

Comment:

Dr. Fox is one of the most genuinely interested teachers I have ever had at Davidson. She is a stickler about attendance but is incredibly engaging and insightful. I recommend her to every and all students interested or not in english. 110 is a good non-majors course.

I LOVE Dr. Fox. Her class was thoroughly interesting with great discussion with her encouraging any and every opinion you have. She is also a great person outside of class. I would take this class again in a heartbeat.

Comment:

Dr. Fox is very passionate about disability rights and that comes through in this class. Sometimes it was hard to follow the text or her lectures to the extent she expected, but she was always willing to help. She's fun in class, as long as she likes you- but she can be a bit bitter, don't get on her bad side. Pretty tough grader on papers.

Comment:

Don't expect to get an A in this class without working hard. Know how to use your commas. She gives you paper topics 1-2wks in advance so you have plenty of time to see her in office hours to get help. Her midterm and final are extremely easy, if you pay attention in class you'll do well on them. Bring your book to class everyday and be on time.

Be prepared to be pushed, but also be prepared to come out a much better student than your were before taking her class. Every student should have the honor of taking class with Dr. Fox before they graduate. She is easily one of Davidson's best professors.

Comment:

Dr. Fox is a WONDERFUL professor. I took both upper-level classes she was teaching this semester just because she was the professor, not because I was interested in the subjects. Spending the semester in both of her classes (one is Contemporary Theater and the other is Disability and Literature) has helped me to understand and gain respect for both

Comment:

Very picky about stupid things, like underlining titles and stapling papers. Loves to talk about Women, Gays, and Disabled, but not much else. Hard class, it was too early in the morning for me to deal with her.

Comment:

I took Modern Drama and Modern Literature--Both were electives, and they were my two favorite classes at Davidson. Do not be late to her class! She's enthusiastic, entertaining, opinionated,exceptionally intelligent and passionate. I enjoyed attending class-and great projects were assigned.

Comment:

Very knowledgable about her field of study. I feel like this class should almost be renamed "Modern Drama about Women's Oppression"... there's a lot of focus on women's rights (though that is not at all a bad thing). Don't be a second late to her class or she'll kill you. Otherwise AMAZING.

Comment:

Dr. Fox is a great prof. I'm not sure about upper level courses, but for ENG 110 she was great. Course's focus is reading violence, and it was very interesting. Just say a few things in class and you're set. I thought I hated literature, but not anymore.

Comment:

Dr. Fox is knowledgeable, sweet, and FUN! There's never a boring class. I noticed mood swings in an earlier course, but I think that was just getting-tenure-stress. She has tenure now. I don't think you have to agree with her opinions--perhaps these are just folks who don't even want their opinions challenged? She REALLY helped my writing as well.

Comment:

To be in her class to walk upon eggshells. Her mood swings are so strong that you can tell exactly where she is in her menstral cycle. Her expectations of your behavior do not align with her own behavior. Unless you are very good at brown-nosing, prepare to be frustrated and silent.

Comment:

Dr. Fox gives the oringinal impression of being a good professor, sadly she is a big disappointment. She has extensive knowledge about gender and disability, but her knowledge ends there. I was encouraged to repeat her ideas and comments rather than think for myself. I suggest avoiding her classes.
