Comment:

Fisher is a good professor with a wide body of knowledge. If you participate and read the case studies, you will be just fine. If you don't and it is obvious, he will target you. He calls on students randomly using his seating chart to answer questions. He is a good guy and passionate, but possibly a little arrogant. Graduated from Yale Divinity.

Comment:

Prof Fisher seems to be passionate about his subjects but does a poor job at communicating these subjects to students. Very scatter-brained and off topic. Thinks that he's relating to the students but students often feel mislead or confused. 4 quizzes (tests) that are difficult, midterm/final are near to impossible without getting additional help.

Comment:

Fisher seems to think this first marketing class isn't too important to him. He confuses himself during lectures and asks dumb questions sometimes. He is a smart professor but maybe should stick to tougher courses. Quizzes (tests...) are difficult and confusing. Midterm/Final were tough. Must work hard for A. Utilize office hours.

Comment:

He will throw cheap shots during presentations to keep you on your toes. The class is good, but people add useless comments just to max out participation points, which make up a large percentage of the grade.

Comment:

Nice guy, but this was a painfully boring course! Policy is a capstone class required for marketing students that was solely focused on case studies. Participation is 40% of your grade so people make pointless comments just to "participate". Take someone else!

Comment:

Dr. Fisher is an extremely nice guy but that's the only good thing I can say about him. The class is so irritating. Class participation is a very high percentage of your grade so EVERYBODY in the class has something to say even when it is no value added. Bring a computer so you have some sort of entertainment.

100% case work. He is great at helping the discussion. 40% of the class is participation so avoid it if you don't like to speak.
