She is a very nice lady. I like her alot. I have an A in her class she is really easy. If you respect her then she'll respect you. She does have quirks though. If you yawn in class then she'll call on you. and if your phone rings she'll answer it.
Fisk is prepared for class all the time, she has favorites...you must get on her good side from day one. She doesn't get your grades back to you soon, so you don't know how you are doing in the class. She grades everything, and grades it hard.

Not the best teacher but she is easy. Very strict about attendance. Make sure to get on her good side at the beginning of the semester or she'll never like you.
My favorite teacher. She cares about her students and makes class fun. If you respect her, she'll respect you. She loves what she teaches, which makes her inspiring.
Very kind and helpful. She lets you turn in drafts, so you'll have a chance to correct mistakes before the final paper. She leads interesting class discussions and is fun. Loves English and wants you to love it too.
I'm hoping to get in her class next semester. Sometimes it takes a while to get your papers back but its worth it. She writes a lot of comments and tries to improve your writing. She loves english so she is entertaining in class. She adjusts the syllabus to add stuff we like, if we ask.
Definatly has favorites, and you have to get on her good side from the start. If she likes you then you should get an A if not then you can't get but a B+. Also has random pet peeves that she'll get mad at you about like yawning. I really hated taking class from her even though it wasn't that hard.
cute and sweet
Very fun and quirky teacher. She is definately my favorite professor this semester. She lets you turn in a rough draft on your papers first, but she still can grade them slightly hard. TAKE HER.
hard-working teacher. seems like she is grading and doing stuff for us all semester. i like her alot.
I took this class first semester and i dont think she had favorites.As long as you pay attention in class and give her respect then you should do well.She is a great teacher and my favorite this semester.She does take attendance but missing her class is your loss.
My favorite professor. She was extremely helpful in the course and with your writings. Fun class, she takes attendance but you will always try to make it because it is enjoyable.
Mrs. Fisk is really a great teacher to have for your first English class. She is very nice and easy going, and is very willing to give anyone extra help if you need it. The work load is not too heavy, but not that light. Overall, she is a great teacher to have.
Excellent teacher. Always willing to help you with whatever you need. Very cute too. She never takes sides when discussions occur, and can argue both points thoroughly. Workload isn't too much (4 papers, lots of easy homework). Definitely someone to look into for 101.

This is a great teacher to have for your first semester of english. She expects a lot from her students but knows everyone is capable of doing a good jog. It helps to ask questions and participate a lot... she'll consider that in evaluating your final grade.
A GREAT teacher. She will make you work but reward you for it and teach you alot along the way. Also, the person before me is STUPID...she is HOT
She is great. I really like the class so far. Helpfull, kind, not unreasonable, and pleasant on the eyes.
She as the best teacher ever. She is willing to help anyone. I definitely recommend her for first year students.She's HOT too.

She is amazing! I enjoy going to her class. She is always willing to help!
GREAT TEACHER! Definately take this professor. She makes english class as fun as possible. Seems to love what she does. Only 4 papers, and she helps you out a lot. If you fail a paper for her, its totally your fault. Everyone I know that had her for 101 tried their best to get into her 102 class. Plus she is HOT!
She is a great teacher, very helpful, gives extra credit and is there to honestly help you. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone
Mrs. Fisk is a wonderful teacher!! She is always more than willing to help, but you shouldn't need help in this class. Everything is explained in detail and its usually even interesting :) I loved this class!!
She is thr best professor ever. She helped me make up work i missed cause of a trip. has extra credit. LOVES her job. and knows what she is talking about. she's great, and HOT!!
DROP HER CLASS!! DON'T TAKE HER!! so i can get in...
Probably one of the nicest profs, she said she "hates to give anything other than As" so it's a pretty easy class. It's all British lit (it's her passion) and if you talk to her after class about Harry Potter you're golden. Take her, she's great.
Wonderful teacher. Very Clear in her lectures. Lectures are short and to the point. Does give quizzes but does not give out tests (except the Final which isn't bad). Only have to do four papers and Fisk is ready to help you if you have problems with the papers. Class atmosphere is very relaxed and fun.
Awesome teacher! Makes every class fun and all the material very clear. It's only an easy A if you do the work you're suppose to! Overall GREAT teacher!!! I'm really looking forward to taking her English 283 class
This was my favourite class this semester. I actually looked forward to going to English class. She's really passionate about what she's teaching. Your grade is based off of daily quizes and 4 papers.
she is so good that i am MAD that i cant get into her 283 class this semester. its an easy a if you come to class and do the assignments which do not take long, and you actually learn alot from her. get an A and Learn, cant beat that deal
Mrs. Fisk is awesome! Best english teacher I have ever had. An easy A if you go to class and do your reading. Only one paper all year long! Super nice and very fair. Not to mention she is SMOKIN HOTTT!
AMAZING professor!!! Very understanding. Grades very fairly. She loves to have fun in her class so it's fun and easy to go to. Loves to give you extra credit for grammar so be amazing at it. =) I'm mad that I can't get her for 102. Take her class. You'll love it even if you don't like english classes.
Dr. Fisk is the coolest teacher ever. Take her class. It may be challenging at times but you will not be disappointed. The class has four major papers that she lets you do drafts on. She reads your drafts without grading them and gives you plenty of feedback on them. Other than that there is very little grading besides loads of extra credit.
I LOVE MRS. FISK! She is so nice and helpful. 4 papers throughout the semester. Final portfolio due at the end. No tests or quizzes. In class writing assignments that are super easy. Take her!
Dr. Fisk was by far my favorite professor this semester. She is extremely helpful, patient, and good-natured. I look forwards to going to her class. A professor's enthusiasm goes a long way, and it's obvious she loves what she does. If possible, take her. If you're willing to be respectful, do the reading, and write papers, you won't regret it.
Fun teacher. Really interested and enthusiastic about what she's teaching. Attendance mandatory. Shes a decently tough grader, but not impossible. In-class discussions a plus. Put in some effort and you'll enjoy this class.
She is incredibly nice and understanding. She is a great first year college professor. My writing skills improved a lot in this class.
I had Dr. Fisk as my English 101 & 102 professor my freshman year at USC and I have to say by far she is the BEST professor I have ever had in my college career after being in school for three years. She is so understanding & willing to work with you on the writing projects. I was very lucky to get such a good teacher to help me out my freshman yr.
Dr.Fisk is the sweetest and most ADORABLE professor ever!! I had her for a Capstone Harry Potter themed class and it was the best. She always came to class so enthusiastic and cute. I had to revise my papers a billion times with her to get an A but it was worth it in the end considering I am awful at papers and they turned out awesome in the end.
Dr. Fisk is an awesome teacher! definitely take for harry potter english in capstone especially if you LOVE harry potter. she is so helpful with thesis statements and revisions for papers. i enjoy going to her class everyday. she's so energetic and loves to help us! DEFINITELY take her if you can!!!!!!!!!
She is a very nice woman. She's always smiling. Just pay attention to her and she will be happy. Tough grader but is ALWAYS willing to help.
One of the nicest women I have ever met. She really cares about her students and is willing to work with you. If you listen to her advice on revisions you should be fine. I am a horrible writer and I pulled a B+
Love Professor Fisk. One of the only professors who is actually concerned about how much you learn and not so much about the grade that you receive. Her class never fails to brighten my day.
Love Dr. Fisk! She is so sweet and makes English a bit more interesting. Definitely recommend taking her.
I love Professor Fisk! She is one of my favorite professors in college so far! I had her for Harry Potter english and seriously loved the class. She is hilarious and silly, but is also very helpful when you need it. I liked her so much I made sure I took her for 102!
Dr. Fisk works to make each class intersting and values participation. Definitely recommend taking!
Dr. Fisk is AMAZING. She is so sweet and tries to make class fun. She is also very willing to help her students and will work around schedules. But this is not an easy A class, she makes you work. I was in her office every week for help on my papers, and I made an A. I DEFINITELY recommend taking her if you can.
In the beginning of the semester, our teacher, Ms. Long, committed suicide. Mrs. Fisk came to teach our class and she was completely understanding of our needs and very lenient. She gave us extra time on papers and even extended our exam deadline. She's an overall sweet woman and I would recommend her to anyone.
amazing teacher, really cares about her students. 4 papers with a submitted portfolio at the end. she does expect you to read before class and be able to discuss in class. easy grader and is always available for help
She helped me get out of another English class and switch into hers. I am taking ENGL 102 with her next semester.
Dr. Fisk is one of the easiestbest professors at the school. Helped me tremendously improve my writings along with the class being very laid back and easy going. Would take this class 100100 times if I could do it over
Dr. Fisk was by probably my favorite professor I've had so far! She is very willing to help you and takes so much interest in what she does. It doesn't feel like a classroom but instead a place of discussion. Make sure to do your work and get as much feedback from her as possible! She is definitely there to help you. Also she is very kind.
Dr. Fisk is extremely helpful and open-minded about your topic for the semester long research paper. She's a super easy grader, but gives regular quizzes on the reading. They're easy to pass without even reading the passages though if you pay attention to the review at the beginning of class.
Dr. Fisk is a fantastic teacher. I took her 101 Capstone Hunger Games section, and it was so good that I am taking her 102 class next semester. She is an expert on what she teaches, and she cares more about the subject than any other professor I have had in college so far. If you can take her class, do it.
I took Dr. Fisk for a capstone english 101 and 102 and I loved it! 101 can be very boring at times but Fisk always tries to liven things up. If you show up to class and participate every once in a while, you will pass. She is a very very easy grader. I will genuinely miss having her as a teacher!
Great all around professor, would recommend to anyone that may take her in the future.
English is not my best subject, but Fisk made the Capstone Hunger Games ENG101 one of my favorite classes. She allows you to miss a couple classes, but overall attendance is pretty mandatory to pass. She is an easy grader but also helps you enough to get an A. I am taking her again next semester and would recommend her to anyone.
i was surprised everyday how easy her classes were
Literally the best teacher I've ever had. She makes class fun and interesting and cares about you getting a good grade.
She is an all time favorite teacher. I will never forget ENG101 and 102 with her because she is so caring, thoughtful, and smart. Her classes are easy but she's also just one of the best people at USC.
Take her!!! Dr. Fisk is probably the best teacher you could have. She's so nice and definitely cares about her students. Her class is always fun and interesting which will make you want to go to class. Day to day is easy! No homework and she is super lenient on due dates. If you take her for 101 you're definitely going to want to have her for 102!
easier than any of my high school English teachers, it's ridiculously easy. at the end of engl 102, I beginning to wonder if it was even possible to fail...
60% of the grade is put into two essays and the topic proposal for 102, but she doesn't grade those until the end of the semester so you have the whole semester to work on those and get feedback. Her feedback is detailed and really does make your writing better. 100% would recommend.
Dr. Fisk was a great ENG professor! She cared about helping all of her students. It is such an easy class, it felt like high school English, and Hunger Games themed made it even better. Take her!!!
Dr. Fisk is so kind and she encourages open discussions in her class! She's accessible outside of the classroom and she plans fun activities in class to engage students. I took her for the Harry Potter themed English class and I have no regrets!
Dr. Fisk is a great professor. All of the papers are super easy and she gives you a crazy amount of feedback so you can fix it and turn it back in and get an A almost every time. There are no tests or quizzes, just a few easy papers. Being Harry Potter-themed made it 10x more enjoyable too.
Dr. Fisk is the best professor I've ever had. There are 2 essays throughout the semester, which she gives feedback on that will almost always get you an A if you revise. She is intelligent, passionate, and kind. I always look forward to her class. If you have to take English 101 or 102, take her. The Harry Potter theme made it so much more fun!
AMAZING! Take Her!
She is the best! She doesn't assign much work, and there are only two essays for 101 and one research essay for 102. Class is super small, and she wants to get to know everyone. She will notice is you're on your phone. We do discussions in class that you aren't required to participate in, and we watch a ton of interesting videos and movies.
Absolutly beautiful teacher inside and out. By far my favorite professor Ive had in school. She is so sweet and really cares about the students success. If you get a chance 100 percent take her course. Even if english isnt your thing, she is super knowlegable and will make your learning fun and enjoyable. 10/10
100% best english professor at usc. her lectures are so engaging and you really learn a lot. her themed classes are amazing and make the class sooo much more fun than a regular english 101. papers are super easy because she gives you so much advice and help. i enjoyed going to class every single day
Super nice person in general, is very lenient with dates and will offer you all the help you need. If you haven't read the books the course is based on then you will be reading all semester, but the series she teaches in capstone english are all good books like Hunger Games and Harry Potter.
Shes the best English teacher Ive ever had. Super nice. Not hard to get an A.
I took Professor Fisk's Harry Potter asynchronous online class and it was VERY reading heavy. Students had to read one Harry Potter book -1/2 for the longer ones- per week to keep up with the work. She never uses Blackboard unless it's for grades and has her assignments and their requirements posted on a Facebook group.
Probably my favorite teacher ive had so far. She made class so enjoyable and you know she loves her job. She is so nice and caring and really wants you to succeed. I am sad i will never get to take her class again. If you have the chance to have her as a teacher, TAKE IT
Dr. Fisk is the best English teacher I've ever had. I took her Capstone section on Gregor the Overlander and next sem I'm taking her again for her Hunger Games section of 102!! She makes sure you understand what you're reading and keeps the class open for discussion. You definitely need to read the book to stay on top of it but she splits it up!
Dr. Fisk is an amazing professor!!!!! I took her 101 class last semester and absolutely loved her class. She is very easy-going and keeps the lecture engaging. The only homework is reading and writing a journal entry once a week at most. There were only 2 essays and 1 peer review. The final was a portfolio containing the 2 essays and a reflection.
She was an amazing professor, outside and inside of the class. She was so caring and really puts in the time to give you good feedback. On the last day of class, she brought in cupcakes! She's so sweet and tries to give you time for assignments, and usually excuses you when you need it. She's also a huge pet lover! 10/10 would take again if I could
Dr. Fisk is the friendliest professor you will ever have. For someone who hates English, I really enjoyed her class. She is always super upbeat and she is really lenient with grading.
Dr. Fisk is my favorite professor ever. This was my 2nd semester having her and she's the absolute best! Before taking this class I absolutely hated reading and english in general but she made me look forward to class and was so supportive when it came to essays and sharing ideas in class. Coursework is really light too. TAKE HER YOU WONT REGRET IT
Dr. Fisk is an amazing woman and great professor. She grades hard and only has a few grades, but will help you out to get an A. Taking Engl 102 with her again next semester.
Professor Fisk was easily my favorite professor I have had. She is so incredibly nice and caring. As someone who has always hated English before, her class was my absolute favorite. It is really easy to get an A. She is an easy grader and gives great feedback. Absolutely would recommend. I am excited to take her 102 class next.
Dr. Fisk was amazing, she was super involved and invested in my success in this class! There are only a few graded assignments, so they weigh a lot but many are easy to complete and she gives great feedback on the work throughout. She is so funny and I am looking forward to ENGL 102 with her next semester!
Dr. Fisk is amazing! She's very encouraging and will walk with you through a lot of writing processes if you aren't super solid on them. She gives amazing feedback on your work and will provide you with so many resources to make sure you're successful. Graded based on weekly journals, multimedia project, and 8+ page essay. 10/10 take her!!!
Very caring and always respects and makes everyone feel welcome.
I absolutely adore Dr. Fisk!!!! She is amazing. Her class was really fun and she made me excited to go to English. I took her for both ENGL 101 and 102. She picked fun books to read, the hw is easy, and we only have a couple of papers per semester. She will review papers before you submit them, if you ask. Please take her if you have the chance!
Very nice professor and person! Would recommend for capstone english courses. Essays can be a little lengthy (4-5 pages) but not unmanagable and she gives you copious amounts of time to finish. If you show up to class and turn in your stuff on time you will easily pass the class.
Dr. Fisk is incredible! English has never been my strongest subject, but her teaching style and passion really helped me succeed. I took the Capstone-themed "The Hunger Games" class and I loved it! Her feedback to the essays you write is very helpful, and she allows resubmissions for higher grades. I am taking her for ENGL 102 and I can't wait!
Besides being basically a guaranteed A, this course is one you will truly look forward to going to. Dr. Fisk is an amazing professor and genuinely one of the best humans you will ever meet. She is such a lovely lady and will help you with anything from reviewing your papers, helping with assignments for other classes, to writing rec letters.
Dr. Fisk is an amazing professor! I took the Capstone-themed "The Underland Chronicles" course. She provides great feedback to the singular essay written in the class. Her lectures are entertaining and you can tell she is passionate about her work. Participation is what makes the class succeed. You are going to get an A if you attend and try!
Took ENGL101 on Hunger Games with her and LOVED IT! Took her for 102 and I've never read such a weird book series. Had to write so many papers on really deep topics that I couldn't relate to the book. The sweetest lady ever, just be ready for SO MUCH WORK.
She is pretty lenient with grades and gives you the opportunity to edit all of your essays for new grades at the end of the semester. As long as you keep up with the readings, put in effort on your essays, and go to class you will do well.
Dr. Fisk is very understanding and it is easy to get a good grade in the class if you put in a good effort and get the work done. The main research essay is based on the books we read in class and is open for resubmission. The final assessment is just a revision of the research essay for a better grade as well as 2 smaller assignments.
Great professor and a nice person. Gives great feedback and opportunity to increase your grade. Will take a class with her again next semester.
Super nice professor who teaches fun Capstone courses. Lots of writing, but it's also an English class, so it's completely expected. Fewer papers than other Engl 101 courses.
Amazing professor. Gives great feedback on essays. Had her for Capstone themed ENGL101 Ted Lasso and taking next semester ENGL102 Hunger Games. Lots of board work and talking with your group. She is awesome.
Absolute goat.
