Spring 2021 - I did not expect to enjoy or do well in this class because medieval literature is very challenging for me but Professor Fisher understands how students feel about this kind of material and makes things manageable and engaging. This was after a year online and he was very understanding about that as well. There was a creative project which was fun to do and helped with the understanding of the material, and then essays which were fairly graded. When you have to take a medieval literature class, I recommend taking it with Fisher.

Spring 2019 - I enjoyed this class a lot, although the workload was extremely heavy. On average, we had daily readings that were around 40-60 pages long and then we had online reviews about them. We also had several essays and a research papers. During class we had engrossing conversations about the subject matter and the professor would have key topics on the board, which would be discussed in-depth. Overall, the class was very good, although the heavy workload and required daily attendance made it difficult to keep a good grade.
