He is a great professor, the final and midterm are kind of hard, uses the book a lot, but we watched a lot of movies in this class as well, and he is a very helpful professor, but grades the papers pretty hard, but than again you can make corrections. Would recommend this class to anyone

Really cool teacher! I enjoyed his funny stories about his own life. Watched a lot of movie clips. He loves to talk in class & loves when someone actually makes comments or takes part in discussion. I think participating will get you a higher grade. Tests are mostly vocab from the book & about stories that we read. Would DEF recommend him.

The only teacher who was successful in coaxing me to understand and then like Shakespeare, poetry, and Les Miserables. He covered a huge amount of material but did it effectively.

Makes class interesting by showing movies and media clips to connect to the stories we read and giving his own personal stories.

He doesnt try to mess with you like other teachers do. would recommend

Mr. Fischer is someone who gets how students work, even if he's not in the same generation. His schedule is made with the students in mind and is easy to talk to. There is a lot of in-class work and essays to do but he spaces everything out so you only have to come in for the quizzes. He is really funny and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Hes a very great professor and Im happy I chose him over any other English 102 professor. His class is not hard if you show up to class and do the work he gives out. You have 1 paper thats a final, two exam, and reading quizes. If you wan't to have a fun time while learning and improving your English writing then he is the professor to take.

Mr. Fischer is one of the best professors I've had in my entire college career. He's totally understanding if you're unable to turn in your assignments on time and recognizes that you have other things going on as well. Not a lot of work, just show up and put in some effort. Be prepared for reading quizzes, 2 exams (mid and final), & a few papers.

Mr. Fischer is an incredible professor! He cares about his student's success. He is very honest and teaches the class valuable life lessons while also connecting it back to the class content. He is incredibly funny and it makes you want to come to class! There are reading quizzes, but they're super easy as long as you read the textbook.

I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Fischer. He made me look forward coming to class everyday and made me laugh from all of his stories. He wants you to meet him in the middle, but as long as you've proven your effort, he will give you a very fair grade. I appreciate his understanding for students when things come up. Take him!!

The class is boring. He makes you read 6 lectures before you get to class. He dont revise your papers and make other classmates to do it. Students dont know anything about grammar thats why we are in the class so he can explain. Also prepare to watch boring videos that are NOT funny.. another thing he refused to use blackboard. Good luck

Professor Fischer was a great teacher! Approachable, funny. Sometimes his lecture material did not directly relate to the English concepts which could make writing the papers more difficult. Still interesting lectures and overall a fun class.

Fischer was the best professor Ive ever had. He always explained assignments thoroughly and gave amazing feedback when grading. You will need the textbook, because thats where the daily readings are. Because the class was very short, we had a writing assignment final or draft due each week. Also, Fischer always has some great stories to tell!

Mr. Fischer is amazing! Due to the pandemic I had to take it online but I would've loved to meet him in person. Gives great feedback on essays. Midterm and final exams weren't as hard. His stories are fun and interesting and I loved his zoom meetings. Reading quizzes are easy as long as you read. If you need to take this class, TAKE HIM!

Loved Professor Fischer, made class a blast to come to. If you come to class and follow the syllabus you can easily pass. When it comes to paper you should expect to write them frequently but Fischer provides sufficient feedback and will allow you to revise them to get a better grade. If you take professor Fischer you are in good hands.

Professor Fischer is a great teacher. He really cares about his students. I took his online class. Frankly only me and a few others showed up every time as he deemed the zoom optional at the start of the class. He cares about this class and is willing to give extra time if you really need it. It IS an english class so be prepared to read and write.

Professor Fischer is definitely one of the best professors here at Harper. He is very understanding if you turn in an assignment late. He gives great feedback on essays. I did well with the essays from that. I would have gotten an A but the midterm and final were not the easiest. Overall great class if you still need to take ENG102 :)
