Great Professor and he is soooo HOT!
loved the way he taught. the material is a little hard, but he is a good teacher. and he isn't bad looking so the guys don't like him as much as the girls
great professor, almost dr. chandler is awesome. made even the most boring material fun!!
He was one of the best teachers...EVER. Eventhough his classes were boring he always found a way of making them interesting.
he was excellent. very funny, intersting, and the tests were easy if you read the notes and the chapter in the book. i agree with the previous two posters... HOT! i thought i was the only one that had a huge crush on him!
He's so goofy. I love it! I enjoyed his class anyone who can make environmental science intresting and funny should be doing stand up. Ah-heck. yes, i agree that he was nice to look at. Great Teacher.
oh man this guy is so funny! and he is happy and trys to get his class to be happy and helps you to really get into it !

Awesome Teacher...If you take this class, you need him. He is really down to earth and will make sure that you know the things you need to know

too easy, and he is pretty funny.
This guy has a cool sense of humor. The class itself is easy and he makes it interesting considering it's just memorization. So if you can memorize then this class should be an easy A. Brad Chandler is funny.
He was very understanding. Amazing teacher, very much believs in what he teachs. great teacher definitly do refer for you to take him. He is great.
He is easy, funny, and very helpful
This is the biology teacher to take. Mr. Chandler makes all material interesting and memorable. I would suggest this professor to anyone seeking biology credits. He's easy on the eyes too.
Great professor. Take his class you will not regret it.
Easy teacher and also learned more than expected. Has good sense of humor and is fair. Quizes are on notes he gives out to you so you shouldnt fail his class!

OMG, this guy is awesome! His lectures are easy to understand AND (if you pay attention to them) his clicker quizes are pretty simple---not to mention funny. The lab can be difficult if you don't show up or bother to study. Also, trips with this guy are great. *Note: if he tells you to eat before his class, he has a reason for it!*
This is the guy to take for Biology. He's hilarious and helpful, love the clothes and the "mother in-law" stuff. Very cute! I wish he taught math.
It's an interesting class. He makes it fun to learn. The exams are not easy but not entirely difficult, you do have to study for the exams to make a good grade and keep up with the on-line quizes. He's very linient and easy to get along with.
This teacher is pretty cool and easy.All you have to do is study your notes and keep up with the online quizzes. If you do all that I guarantee you will pass.
he's cool, funny and makes it easy to pass you just have to do your part.
This guy is AWESOME!!! He is so funny and very helpful. He made the class relaxing and enjoyable. He was constantly updating me on the status of the class. I would recommend him to anyone looking to take a biology class. He definitely knows what he is doing.
Was a great teacher. Very funny and helpful. He makes you want to learn bio. Makes the slide shows on PowerPoint to make thing easier . Always willing to help.
Very fun class. Mr. Chandler is CRAZY in a good way. You dont need to buy the books because he gives everything you need to know in his notes. He hands out notes in the beging of class an even post them online along with power points. You will love this class.
Mr. Chandler is an amazing teacher. I reccomend him to anyone. It's easy as long as you show up for class and study the notes. He is comical and makes learning interesting through is PowerPoint presentations and lecture. Quizzes are online. He never tests or quizzes you what he has not taught you. Always on time and available for help. Take his Environmental Biology class. It's badass! The lab classes are fun too. He's a amazing educator who I believe needs more recognition from the board.
Mr. Chandler was a great teacher, always available to answer any questions, used analogies to make sense of complicated topics. For a non-science major he made things fun and interesting for me. He provided all the tools you need to pass, apply yourself and you'll get an A.
Wow, this professor was very good. I always fall asleep during lectures and there is no way you will fall asleep in his class. He is just very upbeat and funny until the last day. I just took my final for the class and he still made us laugh to break the tension. You can really enjoy his class while learning alot.
Brad Chandler has poor interpersonal skills. He spends the class time talking about the insignificance of other courses not related to science. He addresses the class as if he is speaking to a class of 3rd graders,embarrassing to those who are more mature. I say if you don't mind a teacher degrading you everyday choose him he wont let you down!
Great teaching
I am not a science major, but this professor has been my favorite by far at PAC. I've taken 2 classes with him and I've loved them both. He is funny, laid-back, understanding, right to the point, and there is absolutely no reason someone cannot pass this class. He makes things interesting and as long as you make the effort, he will work with you.
Mr. Chandler is a prefessional that knows how to teach; he is crystal clear of what he expects and lets you know from the start; the homework handouts give you 95% of your quiz answers. I recommend you read the chapter before each class so you can fully understand what he is talking about during his lab lectures.
Mr. Chandler is an awesome professor and is very funny. He makes his class very fun. I enjoyed his class very much. He is willing to work with you if you put effort into it. I strongly recommend him if your a biology major or not.
Mr. Chandler was a GREAT Prof! He was always smiling, in a good mood, helpful, and kept the class interesting. I would definitely take one of his courses again!
Mr. Chandler is so fun to be around. YOu must go to class for lectures or you really miss out. Quizzes are posted online and you can study them for test. He does a review after every chapter so you have some what of an idea of whats going to be on the test. You do have one essay question that can be over anything.
Great teacher! Took him online. Gives a lot of helpful notes and if you take these notes, you'll do really well for sure, I did not even have the book and I did great in this class, would definitely take him again!
If you take this class online you will have to read every chapter in your book!Quizzes have 10 min to answer 10 questions. 1 group project. For exams you have 1 hr to answer about 45 questions. The final was 120min to answer 100 questions. You might struggle if you can't remember details from everything you read.
This instructor is all by the book. He constantly stresses you not to cheat when taking tests as if he can really see you taking an online quiz. Instead of sounding nice and welcoming, he pretty much makes you want to drop the course. I paid for this class so I have to deal with him. His techniques rub me the wrong way. I am not pleased.
WARNING!!! Very difficult class. He isn't a bad teacher its just the type of class it is. If you have to take this class study, study, study. No joke you will fail if you don't study enough. His Lab practicals are difficult, cause its not multiple choice same for Lab Quizzes.
I would recommend this course to any non science major. You must study! But as long as you interact, and keep him updated he will help. Test and quizzes are right out of his notes and power points. 5 lecture exams if u average an A on all 5 ur exempt from final. 3 quizzes will be dropped,1 lecture exam dropped. Quizzes done online exams in class.
This was an online course and had assignments due every week. Using the book was a must and taking it with the lecture helped alot. He dropped 3 quizzes, 3 assignments and 1 exam. All quiz and exam questions exactly form the book. If your need help he is always there to help no matter if it is the weekend.
Took this course online flex. If you're a slacker, this course is not for you. You need to put forth effort. Good students, you will do amazing. Course is very organized & clear. You need to read or at least thoroughly skim every chapter and read his power points. All tests & quizzes are straight from your readingspp. Team Assignment is EASY.
Super nice guy! There are 5 lecture exams and 5 lab practicals. Tons of quiz and homework grades to help your final grade. He drops your lowest score from each category. He wrote a book containing all of the notes and homeworklabs. Buy the recommended books, show up, do the extra credit, and NEVER leave a blank on anything. Effort credit.
Great teacher! If you study And ask lots if questions He is Always welcome to help answer them in any way. Very funny I would definitely recommend This teacher :)
Mr. Chandler is a funny man but nothing funny about his class. Online homework doesn't help you prep for online quizzes. Quizzes can be about anything 10Q in 10min. Read and know all your notes for lecture exams . Does not have a useful review to study and shreds each exams so you cant use as study guide for final (20Q of each LE)
Very condescending, His notes don't click with the test or quizzes you take online it sometimes confusing, the way he words them. This class was for Biology-non majors. He will remind of this and rub it in your face. Good luck.
Professor Chandler is simply the best instructor I have had at this school. He does expect you to read, there are quizzes, tests, and homework but he gives you every chance to succeed that you will need. His humor is infectious and he grades fairly. I didn't like science until I took this course. I would definitely take him again.
Easy class. Read the chapter so you're prepared for quizzes. Check in often so you don't miss the quizzes. But if you do, he occasionally offers extra credit, but I wouldn't expect it for sure.
Great class, whiners complain about anyone who doesn't hand out grades. Take him, you won't be sorry.
Google HW, use power points to study for test, attend class, don't procrastinate on super easy group project. He tries to be funny just go with the flow. Don't bother buying the book, take notes on your returned graded tests as 20 questions from each test will make up your final and you CAN'T keep your tests as study guides.
I hated this class. I found him to be condecending and rude. He was not helpful at all. When asked how long a paper should be his answer was 1 page is not enough 15 pages is too much. Not much guidance in that. I would not recommend this class to anyone unless you just like to be talked down to.
Awesome Professor! Would totally recommend him. You have to do the work and study though. He's there to help as long as you ask for it. Willing to let you skip if you just tell him you are going to be out he wont count you absent as long as you tell him. but you still are responsible for the material. GREAT TEACHER.
Provides everything you need to pass. I like the fact that he is strict and treats everyone the same. Do everything in the modules, especially the videos, and you will pass. He also provides power points for each chapter. You have to work in this class. I like the internet course, work independently. He is available but not in your face.
I recommend that you take this class alone if you're planning on taking it during a shortened semester like Summer I or Summer II because it is a lot of work. If you take notes on the power points, read the lecture notes, take all 3 attempts on the homework, and study the Chapter quizzes you can do well in the class without having to use the book.
Very test heavy, so if you don't do well with tests then you won't get an A. I took this class for Summer I and I managed to get a C because I was able to do well on Homework and Quizzes. A lot of information in a condensed class, so I wasn't expecting it to be easy to begin with. If you're good at studying and memorization, good class.
He is very easy to take. Gives you a free link so the text book is free too. The most difficult thing is the lecture exams but that's if you don't study.
Take this professor. You definitely will not regret it. He is hilarious and makes class fun. You will pass if you do your assignments and study his powerpoints and lecture notes. He gives extra credit on most exams. I would definitely take him again if I needed to take another biology course.
He is extremely hard for an intro class. I did not get points for my extra credit which I should have gotten. He also gets mad when you do not have a highlighter, to the point where he is literally yelling. Do not take him.
Great professor But you don't really need the book just print out the lecture notes and you'll be fine And make sure to pay attention in class
Super cool teacher, really enjoyed his class. Don't really need the book, a free PDF file is provided. But honestly, if you print out the notes he provides and study for the exams you'll pass. He does give plenty of online homework and quizes but they are spread out well and are fairly easy to pass.
Professor Chandler is an Amazing professor! He is hilarious and always is available for his students. He provides an online textbook so you don't have to buy a huge expensive book. Very caring, his lectures are great, he makes it a goal to know his students and is always available for them. GREAT!
As long as you study the notes he provides for you, you will do good! Great Professor.
He is so easy! I love him and he is understanding if you miss an assignment, you just have to talk to him. I took him online and passed with a B. He puts everything you need to know online, his powerpoint and notes are awesome and helpful. Wish I could take him for my other biology classes but he doesn't teach them. TAKE HIM ONLINE, HES AWESOME!
Took him for Modern Bio and will be taking him for Bio 2. Not an easy A but if you put in the right amount of time it definitely won't be hard. Chandler keeps you updated constantly and provides good feedback.
I took this course Online and you have to several Module Courses that are timed for 10mins and you have 10 questions. Regardless you read this course is still tough, I highly suggest to study all Chapter Test and Module Quizzes before taking the Lecture Exam . All the Lecture Exams are taken in person at the Testing Center at Palo Alto.
He is a super funny teacher! He made biology for none biology majors as interesting as he could. His grading criteria is very clear, his canvas website is also very clear and organized. There are no shockers, he follows the syllabus word for word. I would take again no doubt!
Really good, attendance isnt much of a big deal as long as you do your quizzes and course modules youll do great. Print out the chapter summary and annotates and take notes. Chandler is a great instructor. I passed with an A! Taking his class again for Bio II.
Took his environmental biology course through the Alamo Colleges study abroad program in Ireland. He did a phenomenal job planning this trip. If you can delay taking this course until the summer study abroad program, I totally would. One of the most unforgettable courses of my life.
Amazing professor. Took his online class and it was so easy! I recommend him, just keep up with the assignments!
I loved taking zoology and botany with professor chandler, the way he lectures was different than most Proffesor at pac. Study for his exams and youll be sure to pass his class.
Hes a wonderful teacher. I thought I was going to be bored but hes made sure of that. The things I learned in class blew my mind.
This class was easy to say, I was not a fan of this being an online class and was forced to go to a campus every two weeks for a test though. It didnt make anything easy for me and was honestly a big issue for my schedule. Everything else was online, emailing was easy, grades were fast. Teacher was good as it could be for Bio.
I had him for both online and in class for non science major. He's a really good professor. He does every thing to help you pass from giving you outlined noted from his lectures to droping your lowest exam, quiz, and homework grades. he also gives you pre flimed lectures that he gives to the online students. just make an effot and you'll pass.
Mr. Chandler is super funny! Actually made me learn a thing or to, he made his class very fun! I got a C because I didn't try hard enough. He gave good reviews for test! TAKE HIM! YOU WONT REGRET IT!
Exams seem tricky at first but study and overlook old quizzes and class is easy
Professor Chandler makes learning fun and understandable. As long as you study and do your work you will pass. Whatever is on the study notes he provides is whats on the test. I would definetely recommend taking his class.
Good professor despite starting the class off on an uncomfortable foot. He had a tendancy to be funny but if no one laughed or interacted back he would say "really no one, okay" about 2+ times a class. Ended semester with a sexist presentation and insisted it was a joke. Not the best experience, overall it was weird but I did learn that counts.
Professor Chandler was great! I definitely recommend taking his class. It was very easy and ran through smoothly. As long as you do the work assigned you will pass!
For a non-science major class, this was ridiculous! Test consists of 47 questions including an essay question & u only have 47 mins. to take it. He is too concerned about cheating so he makes it almost impossible to complete test. Gives u less than a min to answer each question. I made an A+ but I studied night & day. His emails were a bit rude too
Told jokes in class and encouraged students to answer questions. LOADS of info in lectures--pay attention! Very clear grading, gives some extra credit, and allows students who earned A to be excused from final exam! Only reason he wasn't 5 stars for me was because he would often make fun of my beliefs in class. :/ I emailed him and he stopped. :)
Professor Chandler was great! Has great notes and clear on what is expected. If you read the material he gives you, you will pass with a high grade! Would definitely recommend!
Took Bio1301 as a Summer class with Professor Chandler. While his quizzes can be a little tricky with the wording, the answers are there if you read the material and think about what the questions are asking. I enjoyed this class, it was not an easy A for a 5 1/2 week class, but it was def doable. He sends out weekly reminders to his students too.
Mr. Chandler is such a great teacher. I took an asynchronous online course and it was super easy because of the weekly messages he would send the class. He lets us know what is expected of us each week to make sure we are on track. If you do everything correctly, you'll pass with an A.
Weekly assignments include a couple of 10 questions quizzes (untimed, 3 attempts), discussions, 1 quiz with 10 questions (timed and 1 attempt) and then 1 exam (45 questions 1 hour). Theres one group project but its super easy! Manage your time when taking timed test and you'll be fine. He sent out weekly emails to remind us what was due that week.
I love my BIO class. I'm not a bio major so I was kind of dreading taking this class but he made it so fun and interesting. He sent weekly video lectures which are where all the questions from the quiz and tests come from, so pay attention! I didn't really use the book once I figured out he is telling me all I need to know through the lecture.
I have a hard time learning online but this class was very easy to me. All test/exam questions are in the study guide module and I literally would binge study the guide for about 20 minutes and then get an 80-90 grade. Hes also very nice! Accepts late work and appreciates communication. Would definitely take again.
Took this class online and finished with a 97. He gives you everything you need to pass the exams. The homework is easy and his lectures are short and to the point. I recommend this class to anyone trying to squeeze an online class in their schedules. He's fair.
He is SO good. If you're not that good at Science this is the professor for you because he teaches in a way you u can learn. is fair as far are giving you plenty of opportunities to make a good grade. You won't have any papers to write. He does time the quizzes and exams, for me it was an adjustment but with proper studying it should be no problem
Professor Chandler was amazing. Believe me I dread any science course and was intimidated at the beginning of the semester. However, the professor was great at teaching the material and allowing students multiple tries on assignments. The discussion posts in my opinion are the only semi difficult part of this course.
I wouldn't suggest taking a class with this professor due to the high volume of assignments, rigorous grading, lack of motivational feedback, and a somewhat abrasive demeanor.
what i didn't like about this class was forcing the students to record themself and our desk tops while doing a test because i just think it makes me not able to fully concentrate it feels like I'm being micromanaged. I understand the professor is concerned about people cheating in exams but doing this is a bit of a stretch and feels invasive.
This was a study abroad class and the work was simple. As a person, he was strangely passive aggressive, didn't seem to like when someone knew something he didn't and was a total glad-hander. Every light infraction or minor upset felt like it put him on edge in a way that affected everyone else too.Just unpleasant. Not conscientious at all.
I dropped before the term starting because of how rude and passive-aggressive he is! If you're looking for a professor that won't directly answer your questions, and will instead be straight up rude, then this is the guy for you! Extremely unprofessional!!
..........
Good biology class, lectures are interesting and to the point. As long as you study for the exams you'll do great.
The online class is set up for success. Every week there is a study guide, lecture video with quiz, and an online textbook assignment, plus additional links in the week's modules. Prof. Chandler reaches out to the class every week and sends reminders about due dates. He's quick to respond. Highly recommend you take your biology courses with him!
He is not very open and often assumes that you are cheating on line. Followed all his directions and still for online testing and yet still said I was using "AI", not sure how he can say that when he is recording me taking the test. made comments after the final was taken, seems very shady to go back to Exam #1, #2 and #3 to make comments
