Comment:

His teaching is very unclear. His notes are straight from the textbook website. Even he admits himself that he has the worst hand-writing you can imagine. So bad teacher, bad notes and awful hand writting.

I like his teaching style, he's clear in explaining things, pretty straight forward. Final was way harder than midterm but it was fair.

Comment:

The rumour is true. The final was harder than I expected but I still got an A in the class. Overall, the class is easy because Fisher makes so many exemptions which make your studying easier. He explains the basic accouting methods well, too.

Comment:

After taking a short portion of BUS 251 in Spring '04 with Craig Emby, I had expected just as dry of a class, but surprisingly, Fisher has made it much clearer in comparison. His notes are easy to follow, albeit occasional atrocious handwriting ;)

Comment:

His writing is absolutely terrible!! The midterm was the easiest test I've written all year, but the final was killer. He messes up the grades going into the final with an EASY midterm, then makes you pay on the final.

Comment:

Easy teacher easy class, the course is too easy so everyone score high and so after the scaling you will end up with a B even if you have like 80 something % don't slack off at the final cuz it's worth 55%.

Comment:

Sometimes he seemed to fall asleep during seminars. It seemed like the less work you put into assignments the higher your grade (I stopped working hard after I found this out and I got an A). Definately not a bad teacher, not great either.

Comment:

He is helpful (or at least, he is willing to help)...he has a way of making the introductory accouting course more accessible for those who exposed to acctg for the first time.exams are TOO easy, making averages too high. may need improvement in teaching.
