Comment:

Liked her personality a lot. She gave great information in developmental psychology, giving personal experiences and great stories to remember material easier. Imposed some personal biases, but backed up usually by data and highlighted it as her own experience. Very passionate and funny.

I loved having Dr. Fisher this semester! Her lectures went into so much detail and were very interesting to me. For tests, Dr. Fisher let us have one side of notes per chapter and if you showed up to every test (there are 3 tests), you don't have to take the final. The textbook also only cost $10 when I rented it from Amazon.

Erin is an amazing professor! She is so into what she is teaching it makes it 10x more interesting and easier to learn. There is a lot of information, but very little homework. As long as you are prepared to listen and motivated to learn you will do good in her class.

Her grading is unusually hard for a non-English professor. I've never had an English teacher or professor grade my papers as hard as she does as a psychology professor. Tests can also be difficult, but she gives her own powerpoints in addition to your own notes to use on exams.

Her classes are so enjoyable and I actually liked listening to her lectures! She really knows what she's talking about, but the book was really helpful to fill in the areas that weren't as straight forward in lecture. Even though the tests were open book/ note, you need to study and look over the materials to prepare!

THE BEST professor. I love her she is the cutest. You will never leave her class in a bad mood. She always comes to class so cheerful. I could listen to her lecture all day long they are amazing and extremely interesting. She canceled a class once and I was so bummed out the rest of the day. She does test corrections and gives back some points!

I have had her for in person and online. She is pretty great, she does however get off topic quiet often. Honestly, read the book you'll be fine even if you don't go to class.

I took her online class for an 8-week summer semester. She doesn't give you much work to do which is good/bad. Good because it's not overwhelming but bad because you really need to work hard for everything she gives you in order to get the grade you want. I honestly never opened my textbook. Research based facts get you points.

She's a very caring, loud, cute, and honest person. She genuinely cares about your grade, but won't baby you, so expect to work hard. She's also in her office 95% of her office hours, and if she's not she'll make an announcement. I had a 3 hour class with her, and had fun the whole time. Trust me you'll actually learn her class, the fun way.

Erin Fisher is amazing, she lets you know what she expects for you right off top and also that her class isn't a easy task. She's always reachable by email and response in a fairly manner and gives good feedback. I took her class online for the 8 weeks and I'll admit its very stressful and fast pace

Dr. Fisher is AWESOME! At first, I observed her to be quite opinionated and that turned me off BUT THEN I got to know her and I'm obsessed. She got me through a VERY tough time in my college career and gave me really great advice on psychological subjects relating to my disorder. She's awesome and super caring. Take her!

Comment:

Took her online course. There were several instances of mistakes on her end with grading. BE CAREFUL how you point out her mistakes- she is quite arrogant and defensive. Her tests are difficult and she is a tough grader. On her syllabus, she posted the LONGEST "how to email your professor *without being annoying!*" YET, she doesn't always reply.

Comment:

She really knows the material and when she's actually lecturing and not talking about her daughter, dog, personal life, and pushing her (liberal) opinions as facts, it's quite interesting. I didn't buy the BOOK & am passing with an A. tests are open note.

Comment:

She's respectable and is willing to email you the notes, if you miss due to a emergency. If you take her 3 exams you can skip the final. There's only like 3 assignments so make sure to do them or you won't pass.
