I took Dr. Chandler for Neuroscience 101A. Dr. Chandler is by far my favorite professor at UCLA. His lectures are interesting (though the information itself can often times be a bit dry). He always has the class cracking up throughout his lecture, which sort of forces you to stay awake and listen. He cares so much about student learning, something that is often left out with UCLA professors. One tip: definitely go to office hours. Going to his OH were one of the best ways I spent my time this quarter, as he explained concepts more thoroughly and was sure to re-emphasize a topic until everyone knew what he was saying.

I agree with the person a few entries down that said if people say Professor Chandler was bad at lecturing, they are probably just mad they didn't do well. Just because you didn't do well in a class doesn't mean it's the professor's fault, and it usually isn't. He is not only engaging, but fair. He doesn't try to trick you into anything, the tests are hard, but once he explains the answer, it's really not tricky or hard at all if you really understood the concepts. His mental health breaks were great, especially for taking a neuroscience class during the summer, where everything is sped up to get more material in. Neuroscience has always been difficult for me, but he made it interesting and enjoyable. It was the first time I thought neuroscience was actually fun, even though still a hard subject. It really really helps to go to office hours, he doesn't like to post answers to tests and study questions because he encourages interaction for learning. Overall, great professor, great class. I don't know why people say he thinks he's too good or acts like he knows everything, he was always very nice and helpful in office hours even when I asked some really stupid and basic questions. He even made office hours 4 days a week, 6 times total. You DO need to study on your own and show up to class prepared, he likes to call on people to make sure no one falls behind (which actually helps US out). Now I find myself thinking about CPG's while I'm walking and chewing...haha... definitely take him; it will be tough but you will learn a lot!
