Reviews of professor Mitchell Fisher

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Mitch is a pretty good professor for ACCY201, but the course itself is very lecture heavy. If you don't come in with prior financial or managerial accounting knowledge, be prepared to practice the different kinds of problems a lot! There is some extra credit available so take advantage of it. Lectures are mandatory because of iClicker questions.

Arrogant unexperienced professor. Very obvious that it is his second year here. Don't know how people can say his lecture slides were helpful bc he doesn't know how to explain basic concepts and instead goes into way too much irrelevant details that just make you more confused than before. Tests are bs, take any other accy professor if u can

He is easily approachable and happy to help students. However, this class was difficult and quite boring. Lectures were very long, and because there is so much content to learn, you really need put a lot of extra work to learn everything if you want a good grade in the class. Overall, he's a good professor but prepare to put in a lot of work.

Awesome professor. The class is definitely fast paced and can be difficult at times, but Fisher does a really good job teaching and providing the necessary resources to do well. If you put in the work, the class is definitely manageable and you should be able to do well. You can tell he cares about his students and wants them to do well.

He is a really nice guy but he treats everyone in the class like a child. I felt like I was in grade school again. He would ask a simple Iclicker question that takes 30 seconds to solve. He would give us 10 minutes and get mad when we finished the problem early. He treated us like we were ten which was frustrating. Overall, he was a nice guy

I have learned more in this class than any other course I have taken at UIUC. Because of this class, I am planning on switching my major to accountancy. Thank you for a great semester Prof. Fisher.

Professor Fisher is an excellent professor for this intro to accounting class. I struggled in the beginning, but once I started paying better attention in lecture, I saw a turnaround in my performance. Make sure to take notes, as it will help a lot on the homework (there is a lot of it). He is a nice guy and cares about what he is teaching!

Was a pretty good teacher. You need a good base of basic accounting knowledge to do well in this class. Debits&credits, journal entries, etc. He was a good teacher and you don't really need to read the book if you pay attention in class. I thought he was a strong teacher, but not super compassionate and didn't seem to curve the tests.
