Comment:

As a conservative woman I didn't agree with many of the things Dr. Fisher said. However, I do respect her and think she is a great teacher. She was very clear on her expectations, knowledgeable, and caring. She wants people to succeed. Her classes were always fun and entertaining; her sense of humor will sometimes throw you off guard.

Comment:

Hands down, the best professor on campus. But if you're a mysoginist or don't think women should be treated equally, you may find yourself in an awkward place. She's a powerhouse, bent over backwards to help me through one of the most difficult times in my life by cutting me some slack AND letting me vent. She is awesome.

Comment:

Dr. Fisher was so excellent that I took her classes in succession for 3 terms. She is clearly an expert in the field and her lectures are often engaging as well as hilarious. I would recommend completion of English 101 before enrolling in her class, she does expect you to be able to write two response papers and grades grammar ect. Great professor.

Dr. Fisher's class taught me so much about ancient history and and really cultivated an interest in the subject that I had never had before. She was helpful and kind, and has a very clear passion for the subject, and sharing her love of history with others. I would recommend her to anyone. Some quiz questions are not in the lecture material.

Comment:

Dr. Fisher is an amazing history professor. Definitely not for a lot of people though. She is sarcastic and witty, and will show if she likes you or doesn't. Her lectures are always interesting and pretty genius, you don't have to worry about the textbook. If you do the work and show up for class, you can definitely get an A.

Comment:

I never had any idea what was going on in this class and when I asked, the answers were mostly useless. A lot of online quizzes, and sometimes the questions weren't ever so much as mentioned in the lectures. An easy A if you can figure out what to do. I didn't.

Comment:

She loves to get students participating. She loves when everyone dresses in costumes and acts out roles. Big time extra credit but you need to know your facts in order to pass. I recommend her to everyone even to people who live in other countries haha! Basically if you didn't like history, after her class you'll love it.

Best History teacher I ever had. No memorizing dates, or anything like that. She isn't that hard on like grammar and if you know your facts you can pass easily. She likes to experiment every quarter and see if the way she does things teaches more. This quarter we play jeopardy for the final, and watch historical movies for extra credit. AWESOME!!!

Super funny and knows so much about history, she couldn't even teach it all in the time she had. Plus the class was super easy, there is no excuse not to pass this class.

Not enough characters.. Dr. Fisher is the most profound teacher I have ever had. She seriously knows her stuff. There is so much to cover and she doesn't get through it all, so read her online lectures and talk to her! She's got tons of books she will lend out. If you read the guidelines and put in actual effort you will get an A.

Comment:

Dr. Fisher's online class was pretty easy. 2 quizzes per week that are true false, 1 discussion posting and 2 replies every week. 2 reports that are only 1-2 pages long on primary sources-hardest part is finding the primary sources. No schedule of due dates was provided so she would spring a report on you that same week. No book required was a plus

Second time I've taken her. Absolutely love Dr. Fisher. She's a walking/talking encyclopedia - but better. Hope to take her for women's history in the fall.

Awesome teacher! I specifically picked her class again this semester. She is witty, funny, smart, and super understanding. She makes quizzes easy and will give you chances to fix your grade. As long as you pay attention and study, know your history and she will be impressed!

She made the subject interesting and classes with her are very fun. You might get a bit overwhelmed during lectures but there's a lot of information to cover so it's understandable. The assignments and tests were easy and she's always willing to help.

Very interesting teacher. She obviously loves history and knows her stuff. Her lectures are informative and is where most of the information for the tests come from. The book provides little to no help with her. Her tests aren't very hard and she's a very easy grader.

Absolutely love this woman! Her dry sarcasm and wit absolutely cracks me up! She is an encyclopedia of historical knowledge. If you are an extremely organized person (like I am) it will take a little bit for you to get used to her liberal style but it's well worth it just to be in her class.

Shes an awesome teacher. She can be very opinionated which seems to really bother people. She has a true passion for history and really enjoys teaching. Very interesting character and makes the class enjoyable. Definitely recommend this class. Just don't let other peoples opinions bother you that much and you'll be fine.
