I don't usually leave reviews, but I really enjoyed Aglaia's teaching method. It was straight-forward, I loved her lectures (they were interesting and not too lengthy), and I really respected how knowledgeable she is. I think maybe she's gotten reviews saying she's difficult simply because the subject matter (human anatomy) is difficult.

I wish I could give 0 stars. I dropped the class which is saying a lot because I have never dropped and have taken other difficult classes. Retook this course with a different professor and got an A+. Chandler makes this class unnecessarily hard. She doesnt explain things clearly AND she gets angry if you ask questions. Worst professor ever.

If, you are not taking other courses, not working and are able to study 24 hrs for her class go for it. But If you are working taking other courses and demonstrate you understand the basis of the material you will get a C. She want's you to know the smallest details and correct spellings.

Dr. Chandler is by far the best professor I have ever had. I thoroughly enjoyed her lectures and labs. There are no reviews for tests but this forces you to learn all of the material. I am taking her for A&P II this summer because I know she is the best. I did very well in her class but more importantly I retained the material. Great experience!!

She's not that bad! This is a flipped class so you have to do the notes before coming to class. This class is all about self-study. No test review but I feel her tests are not hard when compared to the concept. Extra credits a lot, I actually made more than the total points!

Dr. C is not always great at explaining concepts. Often handouts given for lab didn't match up with the supplies actually available.
