This guy is a really good teacher. He's not really hard but you do need to come to class, pay attention and do the homework... which is not too demanding. He's funny and makes the lectures entertaining and makes himself available for questions before and during class. Tests are very fair and so are quizzes. I would recommend him. I had a lot of fun

If you are going to take this professor for Cal 1, make sure you know your trig and algebra. This is no review the first week. No calculators on test and the test are very hard. Quiz's very day. So if you are looking for a B or an A take it with another professor.

If you show up and do your homework, you'll pass. Easy as that. Half my Intermediate Algebra class dropped. Most people didn't do homework so I'm guessing lots of bad grades.

Amazing teacher! I never liked math whatsoever, but Fisher's teaching is so funny and extremely helpful! I was never great at math but his teaching skills have help by so much. He's entertaining and always makes sure you understand what goes on, especially if you're shy to speak up. (never calls you out) would take again!!!

I am NOT a math person, but professor Fisher is the best math teacher i've ever had. He is so engaging and makes things easy to understand. I want to drop the math I am taking now just to take his class again. He is truly an amazing teacher and he genuinely cares about his students. Yes, he does give a lot of homework, but it is reasonable.

Professor Fisher is amazing!! I had him for Calculus 3 and he made it so much fun!! I looked forward to going to his class even though it was at 9 a.m. He honestly cares a lot for his students and will help you in any way. He does go fast in lecture but he is always availabe in office hours and will help. We never left a class without laughing!!

I had a bad experience with trying to communicate with this professor. When I needed help, he didn't provide me any resources and there was a lack of communication and I never got the help I needed in passing the course.

First of all, a professional professor aren't supposed make you question why you're in their class. Secondly, making slightly comments towards students is against syllabus rules. He don't offer any assistant to help you pass his class. What a waste of my money, I recommend pass your TSI, or the free math class than wasting your money.

Not too good teacher. Very very tight on points. He thinks points are his pocket property. If you go to his office hour for help, he will not help you instead he let you to solve the problem yourself. If I was able to do that why would I go to in his office hour?

Toughest teacher in math! Don't imagine to get an A in his class unless you are taking only one his class for the semester. Very tough on test grade. If you want a good grade and keep your GPA high, don't take his class because your grade from his class only down your overall GPA.

Hard class, super nit picky in terms of grades, doesn't seem to care about students or anyone other than his image. Very cocky and rude individual. Needs to work on this and be super consistent with everything. Simple notes but difficult homework assign. Exam 2, 3, and 4 should be in testing center and not in classroom (not a lot of time to finish)

Edgar is the most real, energetic, inspiring guy you will ever meet. I always struggled in math, but after Edgar's course, I love it. He made math organized, teaching in a way that allows you to categorize problems and follow step-by-step paths a result. ABSOLUTELY TAKE HIM IF YOU GET THE CHANCE.

Stay away if you want good grades. He takes off so many points for no reason. If you email him your concerns he won't reply back because he doesn't want to change your grade for the better. He is so self-centered and aggressive yet he thinks he is funny.

He sucks, for office hours he literally just sat there and did not help the students because he was upset that the class didn't make a good enough average. There was a snow storm that hindered everyone's ability to do homework and class because most students did not have access to the internet. He did not do anything to help, instead he rushed us.

This professor was and is definitely not for me. His pace during lectures is incredibly fast. Also, I have never had a professor where every single detail counts towards an assignment (eg. over or under simplifying is not good). His lectures take days to jot down and understand. Quizzes and homework are due next class. Exams are even worse.

This professor is pleasant during lectures, however, he moves extremely quickly over content that will be heavily scrutinized later. Assignments and quizzes are extremely prevalent and difficult. Don't expect anything in the way of extra credit. If you want a decent grade, please take another professor or expect to have this as your only class.

Professor Fisher is a great lecturer, always working through the material thoroughly. He posts all lectures and notes and is always available during office hours to help. He can be a bit brusque, but he's very friendly and funny. He grades tough but fair, show as much of your work as possible and ask questions and you'll do great in his class.

Edgar Fisher is very funny, caring, and a wonderful teacher. He cares about his students. My class was an online class and I used to think I loathed math, but he made it fun and I looked forward to class every morning. If you don't do your homework, get tutoring early on, or don't show up for class, you will have a much harder time in this class.

He does really well explaining concepts and techniques and making them seem way less intimidating. He's funny and energetic, gives a lot of opportunities for class participation. He's always willing to help students. Generous grader and gives weekly quizzes, 3-4 exams + final, and a lot of homework worksheets that all help out your grade chances.

If i could take Mr. Fisher again i would!! This was my 1st math course at ACC and i was so nervous i didnt know what to expect. He makes class fun and doesnt rush through it. Gives lots of examples of diff. problems. He takes off 1/2 points for silly things but youll learn. Tests were hard, quizzes were easy. SHOW UP FOR TUTORING HOURS!! he rocks

Professor Fisher is great, his lectures are never boring. He gives a lot of homework worksheets but make sure you do them because it is very similar to the exams. I really enjoyed his class although I am not good in math, but I made it thanks to him. Quizzes are open notes, very short, and not hard. Make sure you take him!

I highly recommend anybody to take Prof. Fisher's class! He's funny and has very structured lectures. Expectations are straightforward, and the only homework you have are worksheets not finished in class. I've always been the type to be scared of math, but he really cares about his students and helped me like math.

(taken at HCC) Precalculus is a scattered topic, but you get a sense of its unity from Fisher's course. The amount of homework is overstated: it takes an average of 20 minutes daily. He writes worksheets that are just difficult enough to make you think. His grading system, though harsh at first glance, turns out very generous. Attendance is key.
