Comment:

Such a great teacher! This guy has been teaching for a while and has perfected the aspect of keeping you interested in the class..he knows what works! His tests can be tricky but if you know your stuff, you'll do okay. He's also very FAIR and if you are making an effort, you are recognized for it. He's a lot of fun! Highly recommend his class!

He's really fun. Makes class interesting and will help you out even if your grade isnt where you want it just talk to him. I took him in the summer and it flew by. Gave us an option to bring up our grades with a paper. Lab exam is easy! Great teacher

Comment:

I had the pleasure of being in Mr.Fischler's summer Bio class in 1980. He was awesome. I loved the class and went on to work for him in the reg office at NCC. Probably the professor that had the greatest impact on my life. I went on to become a teacher and think of him often. If only there were more teachers around like him!!!Text? Grade??

Comment:

FUNNY.. hes hates when you ask the same questions over and over.. never used textbook doesn't write much notes but tests are on EVERYTHING he says.. and sometimes stuff he doesn't say. Fight those and he'll give you credit. Make sure you re-read the question before you answer it.. he will make it sound very complicated. But overall fun and helpful!

Comment:

This professor is funny but not if you care about passing with good marks. There is nothing funny about the tests he gives. Don't buy the book because you don't need it. That should have been the first tip off. He was out sick for about 4-6 weeks of the semester with no substitute or notice of what happened to the man. I withdrew.

Comment:

This teacher is awesome! Its hard to pass the class if you suck at test, because its technically the only grades you get. However he's funny, and even though his classes were like 2 or so hours long it didn't feel like it. I recommend this teacher to anyone whos tired of stuck up science teachers and looking for a friendly class. EXPECT HARD TESTS!

this guy is really awesome. Not only is he funny, but he's really smart too and he knows whos trying and whos there just to be there. His tests are pretty impossible though, i studied for all of them and still got pretty low grades so if ur a bad test taker i do not recommend him. Otherwise, he's always up for a good joke..no hw..no papers..sweet.

was definately my favorite teacher...his tests are somewhat impossible but he goes out of his way to help you if you want help. If you get the chance to have him as a teacher, take it. He's very intelligent and probably the only teacher i've ever had so much respect for.

He is an exellent teacher but his tests are something else.Average on his class tests is 60 for 95% of the students.If you care about your grades he is a no no.
