Brother Fisher is a pretty cool guy. His class is hard and a lot of work. He is a good teacher and knows what he's talking about. He always starts the class with a spiritual thought. He is very kind and so inspiring. He doesn't just want us to excel in the his class, he wants us to excel in life. Although he doesn't have the best test review days.
This man helps out so much! He loves each student and cares for each of us and our learning. He wants us to understand, is always looking for feedback. The class is a tough class, but he made it easier.
Love him! Definitely taking BIO 265 with him as well
Brother Fisher was eager to help in class and individually outside of class. He even would announce if he heard of job possibilities and internships that would help a student trying to go into the health field. He explained things really well. Every so often he'd say funny awkward things but those comments were usually pretty funny.
Brother Fisher is one of the absolute best teachers I have ever had! He teaches the information so well and breaks things down to help everyone understand it better. He does go a little fast, but we do have a lot of information to cover in a short amount of time. He wants us to succeed and works hard to help us! AMAIZING!
He is the best teacher i have ever had and i would tell everyone to take the class from him. He is kind and funny. He is willing the help you and take the time to explain things to you. Best teacher in the world!
Brother Fisher is an extremely kind person. You can tell he really cares about the students. He kind of rambles during lectures and often gives you more information than you need. He can be confusing when you ask him to clarify something. He doesn't have enough time to cover all the material so he often ends up gliding over the last 4th of it.
Brother Fisher is my favorite professor ever! He cares about each student and honestly tries to improve his teaching. He always ties the anatomy into the gospel, of which he has a powerful testimony. He is always there when students need help, since anatomy is tough no matter who teaches it. His lectures are engaging and inspired! Do take from him!
Fisher is a very absent minded individual. At the beginning of the semester he told us that the practice quizzes would not be extra credit this time. What he failed to do was uncheck the extra credit portion on I-Learn. He realised this in the last week of school and now everyone's grades dropped by 10 percent. Never taking from him again.
All foundation classes have the same amount of homework and assignment. Even having many things to do for his class, Brother Fisher makes it simple and pleasant. I was never interested in science until I took his class. Excellent professor, if I would take FDSCI101 again, I'd take it from him
This is a great teacher to take BIO 264 from. He's very informative and passionate about teaching his students. However, this is a MUST study class. If you don't study you won't pass. Also, I love his spiritual thoughts at the beginning of class. Genuine person.
Ive heard a lot about the teachers for BIO264 and I felt lucky to get Fisher. Seriously, awesome guy. He is young and friendly, he is very genuine and spiritual. He's funny and makes you feel at ease. One of the best teachers I have had, which was needed because this is a very hard class. Study every day to pass. Homework is competition but needed.
Super awesome teacher, always gives great spiritual thoughts and puts a lot of effort into his lectures so his students can really learn and understand the material.
He likes to joke by telling the wrong answer in prospect of helping us learn more, but it just confuses me on what the real answer is. He gives amazing spiritual thoughts though!
Such an amazing teacher! I would definitely take him again! He was very repetitious which helped me to better understand and remember the material. There's a lot of reading but that goes for any teacher. He was very clear in his explanations. He welcomed anyone into his office to ask questions or go over tests. His spiritual thoughts were the best!
He really tries to make sure everyone understands what he is teaching, he slowly and clearly explains it all. It is a difficult subject, but he is willing to meet with anyone during his office hours and answer any questions, you can tell he really cares about his students.
BroFisher is AMAZING. Makes class fun, for being a Bio class. It is a lot of work; go to tutoring, do the reading, watch videos, go to class, etc. There's a lot of learn, but some of it is SO interesting. Fisher teaches well, is so willing to help if you go see him, willing to work with you and help you. Highly recommend him!
Hard class. Great teacher! You will work hard for the grade you get. Tutors, study sessions, and open lab may be necessary. He is a great teacher though. You can go into his office and talk with him about the material and he will help personally explain it. He cares about his students. Loves his job. Great inspirational and spiritual messages given
Brother Fisher is incredible. He takes one of the hardest classes (anatomy)and does everything he can to make it easy for us to succeed. He genuinely cares about each of his students. He drills the most important oncepts over and over again. He also teaches the haredest part of each chapter first. That's frustrating at first, but really helps.
*Really great spiritual thoughts! *Bro. Fisher loves science, and it makes the class very fun/interesting *The actual class (FDSCI101) is a lot of busy work ,but if you do the busy work, you'll get an A
Honestly, I loved this class, but the homework was something else. There was so much of it! I liked attending the class though. He was very caring and inspirational. He always starts with a spiritual thought. I love the way he explains things, and teaches the class. I just wish there was less homework. A LOT of reading and LOTS of papers.
Talk about a teacher who cares. This man seriously is inspired with every lesson he gives. He's open to feedback and typically asks questions of what he can improve. The busy work is immense but very doable. Honestly, it's an easy A if you skim over the material and go for it. All in all he's very understanding and charismatic.
Brother Fisher has been one of my favorite teachers at BYUI so far and I am a senior this year. He loves what he teaches and he really cares about his students. The class is hard, but that is expected with 264. He does his best to prepare you well for the test. He also gives very inspired thoughts at the beginning of class. Take Brother Fisher!
Best teacher I have ever had. Bio264 is a hard topic, but Brother Fisher is SO good at explaining topics. He really truly cares about all of his students. Even though he has hundreds of students he still takes the time to send each of them personal emails about their progress.
I don't know that I could be complementary enough of Brother Fisher. He is a very good teacher - takes a difficult subject and does a solid job of making it as simple as possible. If he does have any weaknesses, they are compensated for in his care for each student. If you take a class from him, you won't be disappointed.
Brother Fisher is the most inspirational teacher I have come across. His spiritual thoughts get to me every week. The only problem is that FDSCI101 is a crap class and the prepare assignments are not worth your time. I learned nothing but he made the class bearable.
Brother Fisher is amazing. Honestly one of the best professors I have ever had. There is a lot of material but he teaches it very well. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. So stop reading these reviews and get into his class!
Wish I could choose more than 3 of the options above. A great teacher; he knows his stuff about anatomy. Never makes you feel dumb with your questions. 100/10. Starts every class with a spiritual thought, which helps all of us to learn more. I love that guy. I would recommend him to anyone. I don't want to take a bio class that he doesn't teach.
He is willing to put in the extra time outside of class if you are. He really cares about his students. One thing he does that is he will skip ahead and cover the stuff that is hard to get so you have more time to learn it before the test then go back to the easy stuff. Great teacher and good lectures.
Brother Fisher is a good teacher, he is willing to help students always, but you definitely have to put in the work. It's a little confusing because you have to read and take a quiz on the material before learning it in class. I didn't really like that part. But overall I think he isn't great.
Brother Fisher is an awesome professor. He truly wants everyone to succeed and does everything in his power to help you get there.
Really good teacher. He will willing to work with you and is willing to help with any questions. Has an open office.
Brother Fisher is an awesome instructor! A&P is always really hard but Brother Fisher's lectures are great and made the class a lot easier for me. He cares SO MUCH about his students and will provide you with as much help as you need to get the grade you want, as long as you are putting in effort as well. His spiritual thoughts are also incredible!
Brother Fisher is amazing. This is a hard subject and he does his best to make it understandable. The tests are hard, make sure you attend class prepared and it will be that much easier.
Tough class, you have to know how to study if you want an A. Do all of the reading before class and you will find all of Fisher's lectures extremely clear and concise. He is great at explaining concepts and cares about his students. Fisher is the bomb diggity.
Everything I dreamed about a Science Foundations course. Brother Fisher will make you laugh and cry within the same class period. Tests gradually get more difficult as the trimester goes on, and you MUST do the enrichment activities to pass. Attendance is mandatory. Brother Fisher replaces busy work with engaging, meaningful activities. TAKE HIM!
I will 100% be taking Bro. Fisher for BIO 264. He really explains in a way that is approachable and an easy way to understand. I absolutely loved his class.
He is flexible and nice. He doesn't leave a lot of crazy busy homework. Nice spiritual thoughts. I feel he can improve his teaching and the organization of his lectures. Often what we do in class is not really productive to learn about the subject.
Bro Fisher is awesome! He really cares about his students and wants everyone to do well. He gives really good spiritual thoughts that are relatable. Textbook is online (which is nice because it's free and you don't have to carry it). It's a tough class regardless of what teacher you have. It's really up to you to study lots outside of class.
Awesome teacher! I love how he teaches main concepts and reviews each thing multiple times, he is very down to earth and considers the students view of the class and talks us through it. Great spiritual thoughts too!
His class is super fun, but the tests can be a little difficult. I would study more than you think you need to.
Spiritual thoughts tend to be long, so he could shorten them. The homework assignments were a little long sometimes, and the enrichment papers are a pain to do. Besides all that, Brother Fisher is a really smart and kind teacher who really cares about you and your education! Ask him a question, he'll answer it!
I have never loved a teacher more, Brother Fisher is so genuine and kind and goes way out and beyond to help his many students. Best teacher at BYU-I
He starts each class with a spiritual thought and they are always what I need to hear. He knows that this course covers difficult material for the LDS population and approaches it that way. Overall there was a lot of busy work, but seeing as it is a pilot curriculum and he has asked for our feedback, I see that changing in the future! Excellent!
Bro. Fisher is a great professor. He knows how to teach and make class fun.
Brother Fisher is an amazing professor and cares about his students. He's incredibly forgiving and his lectures are thorough. I never felt that he stayed on units too long or not long enough and so long as you pay attention in class you'll make great grades. Light homework load.
Brother Fisher is an excellent professor. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He will do anything he can to make sure you succeed in his class. Is the class difficult? Absolutely. But that isn't his fault, and he tries his hardest to help his students. He is very clear in lectures and prepares you well for the test. He's amazing!
Bro. Fisher is the best!! I had him for BIO264 & BIO265. I highly recommend him because he genuinely cares for his students, which makes these relatively difficult classes seem easy. Bro. Fisher will do anything to make sure that you understand the material if you seek him out. He provides all the textbooks online and gives great lectures.
This is a difficult class, but Bro. Fisher makes it completely doable. I would do anything you can to take this class from him! He is SO great. Very thorough and prepares you well for the tests.
He was my hero. I got an A because of his extra credit opportunities and his support. The reading quizzes can be taken an infinite amount of times; take advantage of this!! Use them to study before tests. He will offer many opportunities to accept help and he encourages all of his students to be happy and succeed. Will hopefully take him again.
I loved taking this class from Brother Fisher. He was there with me throughout the whole class. He not only enlightens your secular mind but your spiritual mind.
BROTHER FISHER IS AMAZING! 10/10 would recommend to ANYONE!! I have never met a teacher so passionate about his class before. He tries his best to remember his students&to make everyone feel loved. My favorite part of this class are his spiritual thoughts, they are so impactful. He is the FUNNIEST guy ever. Study the study guides&youll be good! (:
Brother Fisher was amazing, he was willing to give all of his spare time to his students and do a personal tutoring session. He teaches in many different ways and will often ask the class if they need to be taught in a different way or with more clarity. He gives amazing spiritual thoughts as well, while still covering the class material.
If you are going to take Bio 264 or 265, take it from Brother Fisher. Seriously, the only reason I passed 264 is because of him and I regret not taking him for 265. But even though I wasn't in his class he was still willing to help me. Seriously an inspirational person and one of the best professors on this campus.
He is a very understanding teacher, willing to work with you individually and as a class. Pushes everyone to succeed. Will post lectures, link, and tools online. Absolutely need to do the reading. They are still improving some of the tests. Studying is super important. Open labs help a lot.
Brother Fisher was easily my favorite teacher this semester. The material was interesting and he was very invested in making sure the class was the helpful. The man brings the spirit to the class better than any of my religion teachers and also is hilarious. He always shares beautiful spiritual thoughts at the beginning of class. Take his class!
He was a great teacher he tries really hard to help you get a good grade. There is a lot of reading but in class he goes over everything that you need on the tests. And he keeps the lectures keeps your interest and he gives you all the information you need.
I thought Brother Fisher is just great, he's a great teacher gives you great materials. Him and his colleagues created their own textbook that is on I-Learn so you do not have to buy one. Its very helpful gives great info and also has links to videos and lectures. Brother Fisher also just really cares about his students he's one of my favorites.
Bro. Fisher is the best! If you are taking BIO264 or 265, I highly recommend him because he really cares about his students, and teaches in such a way that these difficult classes seem almost easy. He gives great lectures that really prepare you for the tests & he will do anything to make sure that you understand the material if you seek him out.
Take this class from this teacher! He is the BEST teacher Ive ever had. He really cares about his students and if you put the effort in you will succeed.
Bro. Fisher is an amazing teacher and i would recommend taking his class for bio 264. His lectures are always memorable, and pertain to information that you are tested on. He likes to repeat concepts over and over which helped me memorize them.
I'm going to be honest I felt Brother Fisher didn't really care at the beginning of the semester, but about halfway through the semester he turned into my Favorite teacher I've ever had. His class became the highlight of the week, and i loved it every day. He loves his students and what he does. Tests are huge, if you do well on them you'll pass!
he made bio264 so good! By nature it's a difficult class but he shows you time and time again that he is willingly to do a lot to help you succeed. I wish more professors were like him. i will never forget some of his spiritual thoughts. amazing teacher all around!
I took Brother Fisher for BIO264 and BIO265, and I cannot recommend him enough! He is such an awesome teacher, and he really cares about his students. He knows the material inside and out, and he will always help you when you need it. He teaches hard classes, but he makes them doable and is very encouraging in the process! 100% recommend him!
Brother Fisher is one of the fairest professors I have ever had. He uses teaching methods to grab your attention and help you learn. Some of the test questions are poorly worded, but you can do well if you pay attention in the quizzes. Brother Fisher takes homework that the school assigns that is really long and makes it shorter. Great teacher.
I really enjoy brother fisher and he does not believe in busy work.
I think he is an awesome teacher! He use humor and visual aid to teach which helps a lot. He is also very spiritual!
Brother Fisher is so amazing!! He cares about everyone of his students and always gives them an opportunity to get extra help with material they don't understand. He takes the first 15-20 of class to share a spiritual thought, and it is amazing! To have him start out with a mini devotional helps bring the spirit into the class.
Brother Fisher is the best! He is so willing to help you if you are struggling in class. He will help you find your weaknesses and then find ways to overcome them. He is a caring guy and if you try hard you can get an A in the class.
He is a great teacher. So loving and caring, but as a teacher he's not the best.
Bro Fisher is literally the best teacher I have ever had! Not only does he know all the material very well, he can teach it even better! Ive never met a teacher who cares more about the success of their students. I was also able to come to him for matters that had nothing to do with school and he helped me through some trials. He is the best!!!!
Funny guy , love him to death. He cares for student. His spirtial thoughts are the best. Always learning interesting things in class. I love his way of teaching because he is really passinnate!
Brother FIsher is genuine, loving, and caring. Though I won't share my experience, I will say that he ABSOLUTELY cares for you and is compassionate and mindful of his students. He wants to improve, he wants the course to have more life in it, and he is someone that can do it. What a teacher he is, through and through.
He took the time to do a spiritual thought at the beginning of every class, which I really liked. He really cared about helping students understand the relationship between the gospel and science.
By far the best professor on campus. He helps you in every way that he can and makes sure that you do well. If I could take every other bio class from him, I would!
I had him my first semester and have tried to take a class from him every semester since. He gives amazing lectures, truly cares about his students, teaches in a way that is fun, really knows a lot about the subject, is excited to teach and makes you excited to learn. He is by far my favorite professor I have had.
Brother Fisher is the best professor I have ever had in my school life. When you take his class you grow both spiritually and academically. He is very very genuine. He gives a very genuine feedback on your progress. I waited two semesters to take Bio 265 from him but unfortunately, he is not teaching it this semester. he prepares you for the test
The best part about Brother Fisher's class is that he shares a spiritual thought everyday in class that relates to the gospel and the subject so well. As I focused and studied I did well in the class. I would recommend him to anyone. I plan on taking more classes from him. He truly cares about his students and helps you succeed. Great Teacher!
I dreaded having to take science, but Brother Fisher completely changed the way I view the subject all together! I seriously loved his class! His lessons are fun and he always has the class laughing. Would definitely recommend you take this class from him!
Being honest, FDSCI101 is kind of a piece-of-cake class by nature. In fact, the material itself got pretty boring at times, but Bro. Fisher found ways to make the material more interesting. I am so excited to take BIO264 from him next semester
Loves science and is great at connecting it with religion. Great guy.
Brother Fisher is by far my favorite teacher at this school. He is so amazing at teaching, and I feel the spirit constantly. Im going to take another class from him next semester!
Bro Fisher is a great teacher. He really wants his students to do well and suceed. Hard class but great teacher.
Brother Fisher is my favorite teacher on campus. He cares about his students and provides many different resources for them to learn. Many times he teaches the hardest things first in a chapter so that you have more time to learn it and almost every time, it really helped. He is also so funny and makes class interesting.
Brother Fisher is a really nice guy and is so outgoing! He gives great spiritual thoughts every class and is available in his office hours. However, when he lectures, he goes quickly and it is hard to keep up. I emailed him about meeting with him and he never responded. There are no study guides for any of the exams except for the final.
sets office hours to meet and review exams and learn study habits and test taking strategies for his class. also very funny and caring understands what you are going through. very sweet even though it is pure lectures and a lot of readings, it is worth it and not that hard or bad
Brother Fisher is one of THE BEST teachers I have ever seen. He really cares about his students and their success. He is a great teacher and has a great way of teaching. I will be taking BIO 265 with his as well. Although the course is difficult, if you have the chance to have Brother Fisher, TAKE IT!! He is absolutely spectacular!
Brother Fisher is so smart and he is able to explain anything. I learned so much in this class and genuinly enjoyed it even though i don't like science. He is so good. TAKE HIS CLASS! Also, if you really wnat the gospel to be integrated into your class, he is your guy!
One of the best professors. He starts with the hardest material the first day so youre familiar with it but dont let that scare you! He genuinely cares for the success of his students. The course is hard by nature but he makes it as easy as possible. He has lots of availability to help his students. Starts every class with an amazing spiritual devo
He's the Mr Rogers on campus. He's great as far as caring for students go and he definitely knows his subject well, but he came off as demeaning to me. He asks if something makes sense after literally everything he says. He could tell us the sky is blue and then follow it with "Does that make sense?" We're college kids! Nice guy though.
By far one of the best teachers Ive ever had. Hes easy to understand and he makes sure you do understand. Knows how to teach. He cares deeply about his students and it shows. He provides a lot of resources and extra credit opportunities to ensure you do the best in his class as possible.
Great teacher who cares for his students. Very inspirational and always eager to help. This is a tough class but he does everything he can to help us succeed.
Very smart and good teacher. The class material is difficult. Study groups and attending make a huge difference. The tests are weighted pretty heavy.
Brother Fisher is by far the best professor I have ever had. He is full of knowledge, is caring towards his students, is inspiring, and makes a tough class easier! If you are looking to take BIO 264, TAKE IT FROM HIM. He gives all the tools needed to succeed, and uses every minute he has of class time to go through what topics he is able to.
Brother Fisher is literally the best!!! He explains things in easy to understand terms and really cares about his students academically as well as personally. It's a tough class but if you read all the material and go to the lectures you can do well!
He is an amazing teacher and is really understanding.
Brother Fisher's class was always a delight. He's extremely helpful and loves sharing inspirational messages. As long as you pay attention to the lectures you'll do fine, other than that great class!
Brother Fisher is an amazing professor. He truly wants all his students to do the best they can do and works with you if you have personal needs to help in the class. He is always asking if everything makes sense, not because he feels his students will not understand but because he wants to ensure they do. Overall, 10/10 would recommend taking him.
Brother Fisher is the best teacher!!! This was my second class from him and he is always amazing. Take him, you will learn so much! He is the best.
Brother Fisher is seriously AWESOME!! I have taken 3 classes from him now because of how good he is. His lectures are great and really help you prepare for tests. He is also super accessible outside of class and provides office hours which are helpful. Really cares about each one of his students and I would recommend him to anyone.
Brother Fisher is amazing! Definitely take a class from him! His lectures are very inspiring and he knows how to bring the spirit in while teaching about the human body. This has been one of my favorite classes. However, DO THE LABS ONLINE!! The TA's try to trick you on the quizzes and exams.
This class will kick your booty and Brother Fisher knows it. He is extremely thorough in his lectures and will give you all the extra credit possible to help you. He is easily accessible outside of class and is there for all his students. I would highly recommend him since this is a challenging course. It's not impossible and Fisher is amazing!
Brother Fisher did a FANTASTIC job at trying to help me understand a difficult subject. He starts every class with a spiritual thought. He truly cares that you do well; he has multiple free office hours to help you & posts lecture videos for later. Lectures are extremely helpful but PREPARE for them before. Highly recommend him for a hard subject.
Bro. Fisher is amazing and all the other reviews support that. He knows the class is tough and does everything he can to make sure the information gets across well. He records his lectures as well as does videos outside class to help with your understanding. Although, he does well, I would recommend still going to tutoring to do well on exams.
Brother Fisher is an amazing professor. He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He does a great job of incorporating gospel precepts into his lectures. If you want to pass his class with a good grade, GO TO OFFICE HOURS! They seriously help so much!! He is there to answer any questions you have about the material.
Brother Fisher is AMAZING! This is a hard class and you'll have to work hard no matter what professor you have. I recommend Bro. Fisher because: - he's so inspired. You can tell through his meaningful spiritual thoughts and the way he teaches. - cares about each of his students individually. Willing to help outside of class. - EC offered
Bro Fisher is amazing & is so willing to help. Passing requires lots of work & time but he is so great! Go to class, read BEFORE & after lectures, GO TO OFFICE HOURS, & go to tutoring 2-3x a week. If you are struggling, ask questions, talk to him, & do everything you can. He will genuinely do everything he can to help you pass. He knows his stuff.
Brother Fisher is the best teacher I have ever had. He explains the material extremely will making it easy to understand. this is normally a hard class but Brother Fisher has made it easy because he explains the material so well. Take his class he is the best.
Brother Fisher is perhaps the most amazing professor I have had in my whole life. He will always help you and always give feedback on how to improve. The class is really hard, attendance and studying and crucial. The tests are graded heavily. But Brother Fisher will teach you everything you need and clarify what you don't understand.
Bro Fisher is honestly the best teacher at this school. I have never encountered a teacher that cares more deeply about his students. This class is a newer course and it seriously SO GOOD. I usually hate science but I always looked forward to this class and I learned so much.
Brother Fisher was my favorite professor this semester. The class is difficult, but he gives you every opportunity to get help when struggling. It's easy to get to class because he makes learning fun, and he really cares about every single one of his students.
If you're taking 264 or 265, take it from him! He's the best teacher I ever had. Go to the study sessions that he has too. They help! These aren't easy classes but I learned a lot because I took it from him!
He was unwilling to help me or get me the help that I needed to succeed in the class even though I asked several times. The class was also disorganized
Bro. Fisher is the BEST teacher I've ever had. This class is so hard but he makes it easier. He will do so much for you to have a good grade. He holds office hours right after his class and those saved me from this class. His lectures are amazing. He is the most spiritual teacher too. He is so caring & wants you to pass. I will be taking him again.
I took Brother Fisher my freshman year and he was literally the best. The class is hard but if you read the book everyday and go to tutoring it's so enjoyable! His spiritual thoughts at the beginning of class really invite the spirit and he always tried to connect anatomy back to the gospel....11/10 professor!
LITERALLY A GEM!! I've never had a teacher so genuinely loving. You can tell he wants the best for his students. He has recordings of almost every lecture he posts. He has awesome lectures and makes sure you are prepared. I wish he taught every class on campus!!
the best teacher ever!
One of the best professors in the Biology department! He made learning anatomy more simple and helped us learn things ahead of time so by the time we were tested over it, we all knew it very well. The material is tough, tests are hard, but that's just 264 in general. You have to put in the effort in this class no matter who you take it from.
Brother Fisher is one of the best Professors I've ever had! He cares about his students so much and it shows. The classes that he teaches are difficult, but he teaches well and wants his students to succeed.
This class is a lot of reading and the tests can be tricky but Brother Fisher breaks it down. In class, he goes over the hardest concepts and makes sure that you have it down. He repeats the important things and makes up funny things to help you remember. He does offer extra credit!
I LOVE brother fisher. I would take him again in a heart beat. His class is hard, and requires a lot of study time and reading, but he gives you all the tools possible to do well. And he is just so kind and loves his students so much. I always enjoyed coming to class and felt passionate about the subject because he was passionate about what he did.
I took this class via zoom & it was so much better than I anticipated! It covers topics that are applicable to everyone, regardless of your major. There's about 4 simple assignments each week & 2 tests that aren't too bad if you fill out the study guide. Bro. Fisher is an amazing professor and I learned so much in his class. 100% recommend.
The most caring professor that I have ever had. He wants all of his students to succeed. Whether you're in his anatomy class or his histology class, he still gives 100% to his students.
Brother Fisher has been my favorite professor I've had so far! The class itself is very fast-paced with lots to learn. Although, Brother Fisher gives you all of the resources to succeed. He cares so deeply about his students and is so passionate about the subject that it made me excited to learn.
Bro Fisher is an amazing teacher who loves what he does. He will help you if you really take the time to study. This isn't like your average general credit. You'll need to set aside time every day to study in order to do well.
You will definitely need him as a professor to be set up for the most success. He is very interactive during his lectures to help you get the information down. His office hours are so helpful. He is THE BEST.
Out of all instructors I have ever had at BYUI, Brother Fisher cares the most about how well his student's comprehend material. As a student with no background in biology I was able to excel in this course beyond what I ever believed I was capable of BECAUSE of Brother Fisher's hard work and devotion to his 264 students. TAKE HIM.
Brother Fisher is AMAZING. He cares so much about his students and does everything he can to make sure everyone does well. The tests are hard but he provides great ways for you to prepare for them and provides lots of resources. I would take him for every class if I could. He has truly changed my life and helped me succeed.
Brother Fisher is by far the best teacher I've ever had. He makes BIO 265, a really hard class, fun and doable. He cares a TON about his students and will make time for you. He also has a way of explaining complicated concepts in a way you can understand and retain. Be careful though because he yells ouch a lot 10/10
He seems like a nice guy overall but I just didn't think he was as special as all these others make him out to be. If you like to be very involved in the class then this is the guy for you.
Brother Fisher really isn't all hype as everyone says. When he lectures he goes so fast it's tough to stay with him. He spends at least 20 minutes on spiritual thought and doesn't utilize class as he should. There are only 3 grades in the grade book and they are only the exams.
Bro. Fisher is amazing! Everything good thing you've heard is absolutely true! He does move fast in class but dont worry, hes accessible out side of class and has helped organized study groups and tutoring. Spend a lot of time to do well in class, It's a hard class. But trust Bro. Fisher, he will help you pass the class with flying colors
I love Bro Fisher as a professor! His genuine care for his students IS HIS TOP PRIORITY and has always done the best he can to help encourage his students that "We can do hard things!" His lectures are based on material that are on the Exams and doesn't teach us extra information that we don't need to know! He's got it figured out as a professor!!!
Brother Fisher is a great teacher! Some may not like the longer spiritual thoughts but in all reality you shouldn't be going to class expecting to learn everything. He utilizes class time well almost every time and does a great job at helping us understand the important stuff. He emphasizes for us to always get deeper understanding of the material.
Brother Fisher is an amazing teacher. He spends time at the beginning of class to tie in a spiritual thought to the lessons that will be held that day. He really cares about his students and wants to get to know his students. He loves conversation within the class. The only complaint I had is he sometimes goes over class time.
Amazing professor. He truly loves his students and gives you every resource possible to succeed. BIO 264 is a really difficult class so if you have to take it, take it wish Fisher. He makes lecture fun and I was never bored listening to him teach. Just be ready to buckle down and STUDY if you want an A.
May be the best professor I have ever had (including PSU, U of Wash, and BYU-I). Lectures were completely fascinating. Obvious that he cares about the students, personally and academically. Every assignment is tailored to help students learn the material. Partnered with Joseph Anderson, making twice the learning resources available for students.
He's a really nice guy, but his teaching was not specific or in-depth. There was material on exams he didn't even cover. He took 15-20 minutes on spiritual thought and then kind of talked about the course material for the day and usually didn't finish the lesson because of time. It was an easy & interesting class, but not very rewarding.
Difficult class, but Fisher got me through it. DO THE PREP. Lectures are not in-depth, and often led by student questions. Watch the videos, go to the lectures, go to study group, and do the extra credit. Brother Fisher really wants you to succeed and will do everything in his power to help you make it happen. Spiritual thoughts are his highlight.
I learned a lot from this teacher. I did the course during the summer so it was twice the pace, but the teacher was really helpful. He provided amazing study material and was open to answering all questions that came his way. He always answered my emails within twenty four hours, and communicated exactly what the expectations were.
It was a good class, and a good professor. He was very heavy on class participation though, so plan on having to talk to your peers like 3-4 times a class, as well a class discussion/debate every Friday. Overall pretty decent.
He really cares, and loves his students. He's passionate about his subject and wants his students to succeed. Entertaining and engaging lectures.
He is the best professor I have ever had! He starts each class with a spiritual thought, and he does not set a time limit to for that because he puts what is important first. Each spiritual thought is tied to the lesson and is applies throughout. It is clear that brother fisher loves his students. I would definitely recommend taking this class
He is a wonderful person and a wonderful follower of Jesus Christ but it was impossible, especially for me to understand him. I learned more reading and tutoring than in class cause he talks so fast and tries to teach a lot of things in just one hour.
Brother Fisher is great. Personally, I didn't love this specific course, BUT I would totally take a different class of his. He is very kind and understanding. His tests are not hard if you just go to class. The homework load is not terrible, but sometimes it can feel overwhelming.
Brother Fisher is one of my favorite professors ever. He is an amazing teacher, and genuinely cares about you doing well in the class. He offers soooo much extra credit, and he actually explains the concepts well.
I don't know why students like Brother Fisher so much. He wastes 20 minutes on a spiritual thought that isn't good. Then his lectures are unorganized and skip all over. He doesn't cover all the material for tests. He was rude when I asked for help. I would just skip class and go to tutoring because it was more helpful than his lectures.
Everyone always talks about how good he is and I really didn't get the hype. He's not that bad but either way the class is going to be hard. He gets off topic for the first hour so then he only talks about the current topic for the last 30 minutes of class and its super rushed.
I took this class online and it was so hard! Brother Fisher was willing to meet with me via zoom during drop in hours and he helped me to understand the material. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. I highly recommend him
Brother Fisher is an awesome professor! I have seen some ratings on here that say that people struggled with him, and I guess it depends on your learning style. He is very accessible outside of class and is very knowledgeable. His style is an acquired taste, but it is just what I needed to succeed in this difficult class of Bio264.
Super, super great professor!
This class is hard, he explains things very well. Ask questions and do your teaching sheets and you'll do well. I transferred from another school and 264 was very diff. there, and he helped me SO much to catch up on concepts that would help me understand stuff we were learning. Extra credit bumped me up 3% and I did well on the tests- bc I studied.
Bro Fisher is great!! This class is tough no matter who you take it from, but he made it really enjoyable and really knew what he was talking about. He took notes with us so we knew the most important things to write down. Highly recommend.
This was a really hard class for me, although Brother Fisher made it as easy as he possibly could. I went through a lot this semester, but he would meet me where I was and lift me to my greatest potential. He always related what we were learning to the gospel. He clearly cared about his students and their success. 100/10 would recommend.
Brother Fisher very accessible outside of class and truly wants his students to be successful. He also has amazing spiritual thoughts! If you want to get an A do the prep work, go to class, ask questions, and go to the open teaching hours!
Brother Fisher genuinely cares about all of his students! He is willing to listen and answer questions. This class is difficult, but if you put in the effort you can get an A! Make sure to read the textbook if you want to do well on exams.
Professor Fisher is hit or miss - his lectures can be disorganized, but he genuinely wants students to succeed. Doing the prep work and utilizing resources like Unstuckstudy helped me stay on top of the material.
This class was amazing. Brother Fisher is really good at showing the material in a way that you can understand what he's talking about. He draws lots of pictures to help. This class is difficult but if you put in the work and take the time to study you can do well. Brother fisher is always willing to help and office hours are very helpful.
I really liked Bro Fisher at the start of the semester, but died out. He is a caring guy and seems genuine, but his teaching style doesn't match the high-level class that BioChem is. He depends on the lecture slides/pictures and makes the material way harder than it needs to be. I'm taking the MCAT soon and barely anything he teaches is on the MCAT
Bro fisher is a nice guy but kinda awkward sometimes. Class is a joke. The class on canvas never had accurate due dates. They took almost a full 2 weeks to grade tests (by that time you're already taking the next test) and they only give xtra credit in the first half of the sem. It suddenly stopped. Take biochem from Chem dept if you have time.
Brother Fisher is one of the best, if not the best professor I have taken. He seriously cares about all his students. It's a study heavy and lecture heavy class which is difficult, but if you study you can easily at least get a B. Very willing to work with you and help you do better in the class.
Brother Fisher is the best teacher I have ever had. He cares deeply about his students and genuinely wants you to succeed. I would take another class from him without hesitation.
Worst teacher ever. Nice person but honestly who cares if you're inept. Christenson CARRIED the class. Average day of class if fisher is teaching: 25 minute spiritual thought, 20 minutes of rambling, making bad jokes 15 minutes of cramming material. He doesn't know the material and its obvious, he just points at the slides. I could teach better.
Brother Fisher is one of the most caring professors I've had. He spends a lot of time working with students to make sure they understand the material. You have to do teaching sheets in order to access the exams, which can be tedious if you know the unit content well, but they're great if you don't. One of the best teachers for A&P.
Brother Fisher really cares about you and wants you to succeed. This class is going to be hard no matter who you take it from. You will need to put in a lot of time outside of class if you want a good grade. But Brother Fisher is 10/10 the best teacher to take it from.
