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 :)

I am leaving this review because I always think about this class. I never liked The Canterbury Tales before this class and I don’t honestly see more value to it now, but I did enjoy reading them because of this class. Fisher is very helpful when it comes to comprehension and advanced analysis instead of focusing on the racism and sexism that is present. He doesn’t dismiss the racism and sexism, ut encourages us to work more with the language and what it does for the story and the audience, which is much more interested.

There are frequent quizzes and the discussions are interactive so you want to have a fairly good handle of each assigned tale before class. His office hours are helpful.

Overall a challenging class but I would take it again it I had to take something with something as difficult for me to engage with as CT.
