Hes eccentric, interesting as a lecturer and person but he has a specific way of writing that you need to follow. He can be a bit unclear and doesnt really like nuance, harsh grader. Takes time to understand what he wants, go to office hours and ask where you can exceed in your writing. Wouldn't take again but he's okay.

Honestly, I went through the entire semester having no clue where my grade stands in this class. Prof. Fisher does not update the grades so it's just confusion and stress the whole time basically thinking you're failing. The material is hard, but the lectures are AMAZING!!! He is a tough grader but he tells you what he is looking for. As long as you abandon what you are typically used to when it comes to your writing-style, and adapt to his writing-style, you'll do great. Go to his office hours!! It makes a difference!

Such a good class and such a caring professor. Also, super interesting. It's clear that Prof Fisher knows his stuff. If you like reading/analyzing literature, you will most likely enjoy this class. The middle English is a little confusing at first, but trust me, you will get the hang of it. He also understands that it's tough and tries to make it enjoyable! Don't be intimidated, just take the class :)
