Mr. Fisher is one of the smartest klutz that I may every know. However his classes are very engaging. Tolkien is undoubtedly a school favorite because of the vast amount of fantasy stories you get to read from Tolkien. The only difficult task about the class is keeping up to date with the reading but besides that, his tests, homework, and creative projects are very easy.

Mr. Fisher is not only a great teacher but he is such a great human. I am moreover a STEM focused student but he will make The Hobbit, The Odyssey, and Lord of the Rings entertaining for any student that he teaches. Mr. Fisher does BS his way to teach the course and incorporates his own quip personality instead of just handing a student a worksheet and Scantron test to students. The only downside too that is that he unfortunately takes a long time to grade and hardback papers and assignments to students. He cares so much about each of his students and dedicates a significant amount of his time to correct students paper and provide feedback.
