Professor Fisher was at first very charming and engaging. However, my impression of him soon changed when it came time for papers.

Besides the fact that he had a reader grade most papers, he was also a terrible tyrant when it came to paper ideas. If you would throw out a paper topic at him, he would say, "Hmmm..." and then ramble about how the paper was weak and how it needed to be fixed. The thing is that he wouldn't tell you WHAT needed to be fixed. He would simply go on and on until he confused you to the utmost, and then you would be left with him telling you to find the solution. So office hours were an utter waste of time.

He was also extremely slack with grading. He gave short quizzes, but he would take 2 weeks to get them back, and the last quiz was never returned (though we took it in 7th week).

He also lectures by asking big questions, and when people participate, he keeps pressing them to clarify certain parts. If you say something stupid or which he THINKS is stupid, he will say, "hmmm" and then immediately call on someone else.

The Canterbury Tales with this man is not a class I would suggest to take. He also tends to favor certain students.
