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.

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!!!

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.

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.
