Reviews of professor John Fisher

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Unfortunately, I have no good things to say about Professor Fisher. Medical Microbiology is already a hard course and he just made it worse. The lectures are just him reading off the slides he has and expecting us to just understand the material. He grades only based off of three exams. Not enough time for tests and doesn't test on the material.

Dr. Fisher is an amazingly intelligent man. Dont listen to the bad ratings, he gives detailed review sheets before each exam, and throughly goes over the content. Microbiology is one of the hardest undergraduate classes, dont expect to be handed and A, if youre not willing to put in the work.

He is a nice man, but his zoom lectures are awful, he doesn't know how to work a computer, and doesn't clearly answer questions. He never answered any of my emails and when I talked to him after class, he lied about it. Micro is already hard, you don't need a teacher to make it even worse.

Excellent Instructor. As with any college level science class, you will be quizzed/tested heavily. Professor Fishers lectures are thorough and extremely informative as he pertains real life situations and experiences to the course material which I found extremely helpful throughout the semester.

Super funny teacher. He shares some great stories that help with learning the material. I had him for both lecture and lab classes. He does have a lot of assignments and quizzes you have to do, but they usually help with reviewing the material you learned that week. He grades hard, but fairly and if there are any issues he will listen.

Disorganized professor. Sometimes he would email us the night before for an assignment due the following day without mentioning it in class. Came across standoffish when emailing to ask for more time to complete the assignment. He returns lab reports without any comments and is unhelpful with questions. "What does the book say?' is not an answer!

Professor Fisher is a nice professor, just isnt very clear with his lab sections. He constantly would tell us assignments a day or two before lab, without much accommodation for students. Rather than telling us in the previous lab, hell tell us about a quiz a day before lab. Very disorganized and not clear in lab.

Very informative. He is not a traditional teacher and I love that! He has real life experience that he offers students. It is content heavy if you are taking an accelerated course (rightfully so) but he ties all of the information together in a way that you will remember it. It is a tough class but worth it if you are willing to put in the work!
