Scott Chandler teaches the first module on electro and neurophysiology and it's honestly the hardest module in terms of concepts and material. A lot of the concepts are built upon chemistry and physics so having a strong background in those will definitely help in the class. Because the material can become complex and confusing at times, it's important to not fall behind in the class. That being said, if you're on top of your stuff, the module is very doable. Chandler is kind of a funny guy and cracks jokes and tries to make the learning engaging by calling on people that want to answer the questions he asks. It may not be the same way for future classes, but this was the format for the exam during online learning during covid: For the exam, it's all short-answer free response. The kicker is that there are 9 questions and you only have 1 hour to complete the exam; the questions asks very specific and complex situations so much of your time will be trying to understand what the question is asking and how you're going to answer. There is also a word LIMIT, so more of your time will be trying to formulate your answer in a way that is succinct.

Chandler was the only 101a professor I thought was actually concerned about our learning. Is he sometimes a crockety man who can only explain things one way? Yes. But also, his reader is everything you could ever want. The slides can only be described as if someone had 30 years of slides and tried to combine them all, but usually, they are helpful. His office hours are full of people who somehow still don't understand what an electrochemical gradient is and others trying to suck up, so I would say those are not worth the time. His exam did require you to think and know the material, but I think the problem sets and course reader were very helpful. Time was definitely a crunch. One of the TAs mentioned that we all got "way too many points that were not deserved" or something about Chandler's exam, however. Overall I think he provides you everything you need to learn the material, and in my opinion his material is pretty interesting.

Professor Chandler cares so much about his students, he not only taught us class material but he also gave us life lessons. The module is hard, you have to be dedicated to keep up and succeed.

Hard class, don't slack. Module test is short answer only.

Dr. Chandler is a very interesting professor and extremely personable! He makes his lectures very engaging, almost as if he is telling a story. You can expect that his test will be directly off of his course reader, no tricks!
