I took her last Spring 2014. She is nice but has a dry personality. Just do the work, show up to class, participate in labs and you will get a good grade.

Comment:

Easy A. As long as you read the power points you'll pass the test. She's really quiet and wasn't the friendliest when you asked for help on a lab. No one ever goes to class, only lab. Deff take her just for the easy A.

Comment:

Dr. Cynthia Fisher is one of the worst professors at West Chester. She has no concern for any of her students and is demeaning to them whenever possible. I hope no one does anything other than take this class, because even if you have an absolutely tragic death in the family, she will not give you a chance to make up the grade you missed

She is pretty rude to students when responding to questions. tests are all fill in the blank but if you study the notes she gives you can do fine.

I wouldn't make my worst enemy take her class. Worst most unhelpful professor in history. Nervously laughs all the time and answers your questions with harder questions as she laughs at you.

Comment:

She is a nice teacher when you approach her. She will answer any question you have. Her tests are hard if you do not study and they are based right off of what is in the power points and the fill in the blank work sheets. Study up if you take her and you will be fine

Comment:

She is not the nicest teacher: she's alright. Class is lecture based with a constant labs, non-stop. You can get a 70 on each exam, and still get an A if you complete all the labs. Exam are a bit difficult. DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK.

Comment:

Easy class. Lectures very boring, but labs and exams were generally right from the worksheets she gives out. She really cares about what she teaches, and she talks very quietly, so sit near the front to hear her at all. She makes it easy to understand, even if science is difficult for you. Also other ways for credit besides exams which is helpful.

Very Rude, Very Unhelpful. She clearly hates her job and is very unhelpful. She is a prime example of Tenure gone wrong! I am a Marine Science major and her Oceanography class is so outdated!

Comment:

Interesting course to take because you might actually learn something. Very easy class. She pretty much gives you all the material on the test. Your only job is to study it. The labs are very easy you just do worksheets in groups. Easy A if you are willing to study and put in a small amount of work.

Comment:

Her class isn't difficult, the material is not bad at all. She is very boring though. Her lectures are basically all on a powerpoint and she even gives you print outs of the power point so you do not have to take notes. All in all its easy, but make sure you study for the tests.

This is one prof you either like or hate, but you definitely get out of her classes what you put into them. She can be irritable in class sometimes, which is uncomfortable, but she knows her stuff.

Comment:

dr. fisher is so nice and clearly explains each lesson. she's kind of OCD and likes things orderly. the more effort you show her you're putting in, the more she'll like you (slight favoritism.) her oceanography class (the one i was in) had a lab portion that was graded VERY easily. great class and a great teacher!

Dr. Fisher is great! She does lecture a lot, but she is very helpful, and her Powerpoints are great study tools. Tests are hard, but devote a lot of study time and you'll be fine!

This class was so easy I dont know what all these people are talking about. The homework is elementary school level, right from the textbook and as long as you study the slides you will do well on the tests. She was a nice lady and was interested in what she was teaching.

Comment:

Does not care if you have a medical condition, she will not accommodate you at all. Very rude and demeaning to students. Don't bother asking for help from her, because she won't give it. This class is boring and it's sometimes hard to understand her through the slight speech impediment.
