The most hilarious thing about him is hearing him say "calorimetry." Cal-oh-ri-metree LOL.

I took his class for summer sessions. Pretty straightforward lectures and straightforward tests to boot. No lecture notes online, so don't miss lecture. Do homework and you'll be ready for the tests. Good professor.

HE STAYED ON TOPIC. NICE GRADER. DRINKS A LOT IN CLASS (COFFEE I THINK). FOCUSED ON BIOCHEMISTRY ASPECTS OF CHEMISTRY. I GOT AN A! I DIDN'T EVEN REALLY STUDY!

Great Prof!

The people who wrote bad ratings for Dr. Fisher are probably the ones who do not study for the class. P - chem is not that hard especially when the professor gives example problems in his lectures. Dr. Fisher is a wonderful lecturer compared to other p chem professors, a well renowned researcher, and dedicated to helping his students.

Fisher is great - clear, good lectures, engaging. Obviously, he's hard - this is the sciences at Davis. If you can't stand the heat, major in English.

The material is difficult but Dr. Fisher made it understandable. Don't take P. Chem unless you are prepared to study!!! You will learn a lot from Dr. Fisher.

I don't know why people have a hard time with Dr. Fisher. He's a great lecturer, throwing in jokes and laughing at himself to make the class more bearable. He's a little intimidating but is actually quite cordial. I learned a lot from Dr. Fisher and understood concepts in Chem that I failed to fully grasp in Gen Chem. All in all, good class

He's one of my favorite Professors. What I liked about him was that he does not present too much detail, leaving it to you to decide what's important. I studied from the textbook a lot. He's helpful in office hours. His tests are fair; ended up with an A. After taking his 107A class, I changed my major to biochem. I would recommend his class.

Out of all the chem series, I received the highest grade in this one. Professor Fisher is extremely FAIR. Every question on his test was talked about at some point in the class and could be found in the notes. To do well, understand problems on the board because those will show up again. He is very encouraging when he knows your are trying.

His tests are straightforward and not difficult at all. Everything on the test, he has covered some point in lecture. So attend and listen to his lectures, take good notes, and review notes extensively. He mumbles in lecture and is monotone. He answers questions clearly, but sometimes goes off and explains beyond the scope of class.

His lectures were pretty boring and it was hard not to fall asleep. Midterms were really easy and straightforward. However, the final had a lot of random trivia that he mentioned maybe once during the whole quarter. Class averages were really high and there was pretty much no curve. He used masteringchem, which, although tedious, was really helpful

I thought this class was the easiest out of the CHE2 series. Everything in the test were from the lecture. Kinda dull sometimes, but everything was straightforward and easy. Just take good notes and study of of those.

I do not know where some of these people are coming from because Andrew Fisher was a great professor. His tests are easy and he explains things very clearly and effectively. People who did not get an A in this class relied on a curve and that is not the way to go about being a successful student. I got an A in Chem 2ABC by practicing, not a curve.

These people complaining about how hard the class is are pretty dumb. Took his class summer Chem 2C and was really easy A. Somewhat boring lecture but he pretty much set you up to succeed in the class by telling what you should know. He barely curves because his test are really easy. Gave a practice midterm and final. Uses chem book alot. Chem 2C

Lectures and answer questions clearly. His tests are kind of hard, but so is the material. Attend class always because he will cover material not in the book.

An average professor. This is my second class with him (CHE2C last time). I liked him a lot better in 107A because there weren't so many random facts that I had to remember. He explained clearly and the tests were straightforward, based right off of lecture. But he posts no slides or podcasts. You'll probably get the grade you expect to get.

Fisher is a solid professor. A comment below says he doesn't podcast or post slides but he does now (both) so that's not an issue. The tests are pretty hard but if you understand the concepts you'll be fine. No HW just 2 midterms and a final.

Gave 4 online quizzes w our lowest score dropped. Lectures are very clear, always does problems in class. Posts podcasts. Tests are very doable, gives partial credit, just don't over-think it. Multiple choice questions on concepts are on test. My mistake was focusing on things he DIDN'T focus on in class; if he goes over it, it's on there.

He was very clear in lectures about the material. He also gives a lot of hints in class about what might be on the midterm. If he goes over it, it will likely be on midterm or final. P chem is a tough course so you have to be willing to put in the work. Read the book to clarify topics, and do practice exams and HW

He lectures at a good pace, pretty nice guy. The midterms and final are hard but it is not too bad as long as you study the material really well. 4 easy online quizzes, lowest one is dropped. He curves the class. As long as you are 1 standard deviation about the average you for sure have an A!

Loved his sense of humor. Tests were fair. Podcasts everything and honestly this class was really easy. He like covered 1 formula per lecture. First part of the class (thermo) was harder than the second part

Great professor, i was expecting pchem to be much tougher. He does explain what formulas mean, that is most of lecture! So thank you for words instead of integrals! Fair exams and quizzes. Book is useful, too. Oh, and candy DURING the final?? How rad was that? Would take him for part two

Fisher wasn't the most enthusiastic but I think he's one of the better professors for pchem. Expect integration/derivation on midterms bc he goes over this extensively in class. When looking back, both midterms and final were extremely fair even though I didn't do well on the first. Find ppl to study with, will be your saving grace. PODCAST!! GL!

Fisher covers everything you need to know for the MTs and final in his lectures, but it's difficult to know what you're supposed to know bc he doesn't really "emphasize" the important things when he talks. He just spurts out a ton of information that's easy to miss. If you watch him back though you can pick up on these things which helped me a lot

Im not sure why so many negative reviews. I took this class during the pandemic so maybe different for me. Pay attention to every little thing he emphasizes, it will show up on test and quizzes. Tests are fair if you listen to every lecture and practice a lot. I struggled a lot but went to office hours and was able to get a passing grade

Honestly, he isn't that bad of a professor. Took him during the pandemic and he was organized with the material, though reading the book can be helpful to substantiate the material. This is a dense class, so keep track of the equations and the concepts. Practice exams have similar format to test, but tests can be tricky and long.

This course is hard, but Prof. Fisher has his notes organized and clear. He definitely deserves a higher rate. Highly recommend to make a study guide for organizing the equations. His exams were hard, but they were fair, no tricky questions.

Hes REALLY good at explaining concepts but he talks at 1000 mph. His exams are straightforward (mostly just plug and chug Qs) and he retests some concepts. Do the homework and review his lecture problems; they help a lot! I was so scared to take this class but he made me genuinely enjoy p chem. He also cares about his students well-being.

A really tough class but Prof Fisher does explain lots of concepts well in lectures. The midterms and final are a bit hard but as long as you do the practice questions, they are not challenging at all.

Not sure what the prior review is talking about. I sat in front everyday and sure, he's sorta indifferent to everyone. But his job as a prof is to teach...not be nice. And it's not like he was rude either. We come to learn, and he delivered. What more can someone want? He's not an impossible prof like Hayashi. Go with Fisher

Professor Fisher was a good teacher, and very knowledgable about the material. He may seem stern and serious, but is very approachable with questions. Tests were tough, but fair given the difficulty of the material in general. Curve is also really generous. He clearly cares about his students succeeding.
