Reviews of professor John Fisher

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took the class online through zoom, so experiences may differ in person. He was one of the few professors who utilized zoom very well with wonderful handwriting and clear notes. There is a lot of information, but he makes it clear what he wants you to know for exams. Exams are hard, but other things balance out your grade.

Dr. Fisher has long powerpoint notes that he's shortened down to his lecture notes (which leaves lots of material out). He says everything is fair game but there is so much information it is not possible to learn/memorize everything that will be on the test. Exams are very difficult and labs are also painful and require lots of skill with MATLAB.

He gives way too much work, and grades extremely harshly. Nice old man I guess.. but his teaching leaves students frustrated. Not clear with directions, and will assign homework online a day before class without telling class the previous week. There really is a ton of work.

I am an straight A student. I struggled in micro becuz of this lab. he gives random grades, curves grades only for some people, says that he is missing ur labs/quizzes, and he gives u a 0 on them. he will make your life miserable. dont take him, do yourself a favor. he told our class that the quiz will be on lab ppt 9 but when it was on 10, lol
