Comment:
His lectures aren't very organized, so it definitely helps to come to class with the chapter already read (based on the syllabus schedule). Exams are pretty easy, they're almost exactly the same as the review questions. I would do them early and then go to office hours to share my answers with him and get help. It worked out well.

He's an okay teacher but his lectures are very different from the textbook so you never know what you will be tested on. His lectures tend to skip around a lot as well.

Would not recommend. Lecture's make no sense and it's not clear what exactly will be on tests. Tests are extremely hard and require lots of studying. No homework is given to boost your grade. Doesn't use canvas much. Stay away if possible.

Comment:
I took Bio412 and the lectures were power point based, however seemed to derail frequently. He is extremely intelligent and loves his beetles, and most test material is based off of the aplia assignments as well as the end of chapter review questions. Tests are tough but if you study correctly, not too terrible

Comment:
Hardest A I've ever earned. Chandler is a confusing lecturer and it took me a LONG time to get used to his teaching style. I asked him for help once and he assumed I didn't know it because I missed class that day, when biology was the one class I didn't dare to miss. To succeed you have to study a LOT. And NEVER skip those review questions.

His lectures are confusing, you definitely need to pay attention. During lectures he writes all over the board, half the time it doesn't make sense. You are not able to teach it to yourself.

Chandler is a tough teacher but at the same time it can be a tough subject. He tries to challenge students but honestly lays a very good foundation to project you into succeeding. His study guides are often the same exact questions as the ones on the exam and he holds very helpful review sessions as well. BIGGEST PROBLEM he's very disorganized!

If you take notes in class, and do the practice tests, you will be absolutely fine. And the lab was actually fun!

Comment:
Absolute worst class I've taken at this university. Very unclear and condescending. Assigns homework via e-mail at 5 o'clock the night before. Difficult to follow in class and has terrible handwriting. Other Bio412 courses are multiple choice while his exams are 50% essay/open answer. Avoid this professor at all costs.

This was such a great class, the subject material was very interesting and professor chandler portrayed it in a very clear manner. Go to class, read the book, take good notes on that as well as in class, do the review questions as he assigns them!! study hard for the exams, they are very doable if you know the subject matter. He is a fair grader

Professor Chandler is great! He's smart and the subject matter is interesting. The only downside is that he can be a bit disorganized at times in the way he teaches. I recommend him - a good teacher with fair exams!

Dr. Chandler is the man! I loved his class and the little tangents he went off on. Sometimes I honestly couldn't wait to get to his lecture.

I had Dr. Chandler as a lab instructor. He is definitely a very strict grader and it is sometimes hard to understand his explanations. He is a very nice and easy going person out of class though.

Friendly man. His exams are difficult but do-able. Study the review packets intensely. Those are all the exams are. The class is tough but if you study hard you'll get an A. He's pretty fair about grading if you know your stuff. A lot of understanding and memorizing concepts.

Although some other comments note Dr. Chandler as not being a good professor, I really enjoyed his lectures. Very nice, and quite humorous as well, review questions are a MUST to do well on tests, but very consistent in grading and lecture structures. I recommend him for lecture, very kind in terms of giving extra credit work to failing students.

Just do the review questions from the handouts and you'll get an A :) notes can be confusing but if you memorize the answers to the review questions the test will be simple!
