Dr. Chandler is really smart and definitely knows a lot about Latin American culture. I didn't think the class itself was too difficult, just a lot of outside reading. The final research paper is 20 pages, but not too bad. Class is mostly discussion based, so attendance matters. There was only one midterm. A little disorganized at times.CLTR1505 2017-04-18 23:43:22 +0000 UTC
Overall liked the class, sometimes it did not seem clear what the objectives were but she will eventually mention it. you read a lot of primary literature, but sometimes watching a movie is homework. the lecture is very conversational/interactive so it stays interesting, i learned a lot, about current, past, and future and peoples perspective.AFAM1113 2015-12-03 23:30:34 +0000 UTC
She is a great professor and extremely interesting. She is a holistic grader, so as long as you do the readings and participate in class enough to prove that you care and understand, you will have a good grade. She is also probably the most well-read professor that I have ever had. She knows something about everything.AFAM 2015-04-16 13:21:51 +0000 UTC
Rants about "white privelege" all the time. Held a seminar for women of color only and was rebuked by SGA for not allowing whites or men. However, she did make me think differently about stereotypes. It opened my mind a lot.HNRU320 2006-12-23 09:55:07 +0000 UTC
VERY unclear in all speached. She never told the student what was important and what wasnt so that at exam time we were lost. The class was boring as hell too.GENEDREQUIRED 2006-08-10 14:48:01 +0000 UTC

This class was a waste of my time and efforts. I agree with everything already said about Prof. Chandler.INTU103 2005-08-31 21:02:50 +0000 UTC
I definitely agree with the two comments before mine (I bet we were in the same class!). Chandler demands too much from an into class and at the same time doesn't spend any time clarifying things or helping her students. The subject matter was interesting, but Chandler shouldn't of been teaching it.U103 2005-07-06 09:57:36 +0000 UTC
The stuff she covered was interesting but the class was far too demanding for something none of us are majoring in. There's tons of reading and the final is a 20pg research paper. She's really disorganized and unclear in her assignments but her class discussions were interesting one way or anotherINT103 2005-03-29 13:41:06 +0000 UTC
Chandler is perhaps one of the best professors in the University, if not the country. Her knowledge of a wide array of materials, her commitment to student excellence and her demeanor make her talents surpass any other prof. out there. While her class is not easy or for the faint of heart, it is incredibly rewarding!INTU103 2005-08-16 13:37:36 +0000 UTC
Prof Chandler is obviously very intelligent, but she cant relate to students at all. She is unclear about assignments, doesnt seem to care much about the class, & made the midterm absolutely impossible. She is the kind of teacher who makes students drop out of college.INTU103 2005-04-25 10:29:32 +0000 UTC
