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!!

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
