ABOUT THE BOOK From the Publisher ABOUT THE BOOK Wayward Loches FROM THE PUBLISHER Dramatic and adventurous poetry and other creative writing. Cultivating compassion and tolerance for monumental themes, the LionHearted does thrive as an adventurer striving to preserve the True Cross of his people; at last to seemingly fade with his lofty Chateau Gaillard and the waters of the Talmont, the crumbling but steadfast barricades of Loches and its surrounding Champaigns, the LionHearted evokes melancholic force and defiance. The Brazen Nile progresses forward, through adventures of missions faraway, the quetzal bird, gypsy caravans, jaded masks, and anthropology. wayward LOCHES: unctuous serpentine snails, labyrinthine routes of water and of landaquatic "locks": phonetic implications also evoke the physical vitalism manifested by functions innate to Essential magnetic and galactic activities, the precursor of botanical properties and evolving functions. Essential concepts of Aquitaine, Exxlesiastic strides and adventures that Venetian Marco Polo would ultimately reflect, the Metamorphoses (c AD 8; Latin verse by Ovid of the Holy Roman Empireevery rise to enthusiastic and memorial lyricism born through the langue d'oc of Father Guillaume IX of Aquitaine (1086-1127), Ovidian Sophistry and an outr mer (another ocean) continue to strike Sacred Thoughts about mans' challenges, the preserving vein of the Troubadour, the langue d'oc and chanson de geste effecting lyrical gaiety and dramatic melancholia wrought through diverse religious plights. The recounting of political influence, brilliant architecture, and caravans striding by starlight to Salvation and haunting unknowns, this is the mind that did bear the Magna Charta as well as magnificent revelations of shrines and a cross claimed by opposing forces, Christians of Roland, Charlemagne, and Roman Popes; dichotomously, Saladin's Moslems. Learn of Black Forest mysteries, the Sirventes of Richard Coeur-de-Lion wrought through wayward Alpine Wonder, a banner demolished on Muslim grounds.

Reminds me of Seinfeld character Kramer ! :D

A pretty darn easy going teacher and intriguing class on San Francisco's overwhelming past. You really dont even have to show up to class since his lectures are all based from projection pdf's that you can download online, but of course unless you want to know in-depth details about the pdf's from Professor Chandler himself I suggest attending every single class; I mean after all, its only two days a week and 1hr, so come on now. If you dont read the books he assigns, follow along with the pdf's, or stay updated, you'll no doubt screw up on the midterm even though if it is multiple choice, it'll still confuse the hell out of you. But, if you do fail the midterm, no worries, because Professor Chandler is a good sport, and a respectable native Franciscan for he'll give out the questions to the final exam, pretty cool ey?But it's up to you to find the answers to them, doh! Sounds hard but overall it aint so tough because he'll review the stuff over again that you simply just can't forget. You also have a choice of a final 10-12page final paper assignment or a personal website assignment. I chose the paper, which took me half of the semester to complete, review, edit, and what not. The only problem I'm having with Professor Chandler at the moment is that he seemed to have misplaced my final paper or probably thought I never handed it in (NOT!) so he gave me a "WU" grade, which I am still furiously in the process of dealing with at the moment. Grrr! Overall, great class, I wish there were more classes about San Francisco and or related.

Never call it Frisco!

Chandler is quite a character. Great class if you want to know more about the city of San Francisco. His Class isn't hard at all. I never bought the books for his class and i did okay. As long as you go to the lectures, then you are okay. Or you could just go onthe class website and download his lecture and not show up to class because he reads directly off of his power point presentations b/cI know i missed a handfull of classes. His final project was kind of hard b/c you had a choice to write a 10-12 page paper on some building is san francisco or a webstie about that building. I chose the website because i already knew how to make one and i just don't know how anyone could write a 10 page paper based on 4 simple questions.

Okay Class, Okay Teacher

I was disappointed in his powerpoints -- he just read off all the information and hardly added other comments.

His required reading is easy, but I think he just choose the History of SF book because the author mentions him.

The midterm is not all that hard, just download the powerpoints off his website.

You either write a 10 page paper or do a website. He has instructions on how to do a webpage, and I started one, but his instructions are not very helpful, so I stuck it out with the paper.

Overall, it is an easy class. He could have done so much more ... and how dare he not mention R. Crumb during his presentation on counter culture art.

Chandler is great

I loved this guy. I was new to the city when I took his class and learned a ton! His midterm is very hard if you don't do the reading but his final was pretty easy. He is just a great guy and a fabulous lecturer. If you take this class you won't be sorry.

Here's the kinda guy he is: He must be around 57 years old, He drives a tricked out mr2 He makes his own electronic/house music He designs his own psychadelic website and he used to play the electric flute in an acid jazz band. This guy is too much fun!!!

Oh ya, also, he didn't have us do the section3 required 10 page essay. Instead he had us get into a group and design a webpage with information on a historical san francisco location. All because he feels that in our lives we are much more likely to have to design a website than write a 10 page paper. What a down to earth guy. Take this class!

Good teacher, bad grading policy

this teacher was an all around nice guy to the students yet he bases too much of the grade on the midterm and way too much of the grade percentage on the final i think it was something like 60% of the final grade was the final and thats just absurd. One major thing about him is you have to do the reading if not you will get a D like myself. Don't make the same mistake i did.

Kind and Funny, But Also Boring and BORING!!

He would be the perfect teacher to treat him out for a cup of coffee, but his class is just unbearable. Do not be confuse that this class is just about learning how to use the internet, a little more confusing then that. More like how internet changes people in the humanitarian and philosophy type of way. Like what happen to the original Black and White text, and why Color Sytle Font Text is more appealing. Very dry and boring stuff, as his powerpoint lectures and his large amount of quotes from the books will make your eyelids heavy. You don't really need to buy any books, because what he lectures in class should be on the exams, except for a long boring sci-fi novel called Neoromancer (which I did not bother to read) that will be on the final (which he did not go over that much in class). Two projects you will have to do is the powerpoint lecture (fairly easy) and a homepage for yourself (hard if you never done it before). Projects were the easy grade, but the comprehensive midterm and the multiple choice final were sorta brutal (luckily, he curves). I guess I must have screwed up the 25 minute (for me) final exam to get a C+ for the semester grade... NOTE: Once a week, you go to the computer lab and learn how to surf the web and later on in the semester, learn how to do his projects. THERE IS NO NEED TO ATTEND THE LAB if you know how to surf the web and know how to do the projects.

Arthur Chandler is a great professor! He is easily approachable and was always ready to help with any problems I had. He will always concede if any students are more knowledgable than him in any subject matter, and will not hesitate to go to students himself for help! If you want a liberated Internet teacher, he is the one to take!

Professor Chandler has great knowledge about the city of San Francisco and is eager and energetic about teaching this subject. He works with students and is very approachable. Over the semester as a student you must vist two historical sights in Sf. There is a mid-term and a final exam. The mid-term is tough. However, he posts study questions for his fianl on his web site. If a new students can contact a former student you can review the first have of the finalstudy notes in order to be fully prepared for the mid-term. The final is made very easy with the use of the study notes. Professor Chandler's class was never boring or stiffling. His love of the city is obvious and infectious.

I enjoyed this class very much. Dr. Chandler is always well prepared for class and obviously enjoys teaching. His visual presentations done with Powerpoint are very good. I also liked the videos that he screened for us. I learned a lot in this class. A word of caution: Although Dr. Chandler bases his grades mainly on 2 multiple choice exams, they are not easy. Be sure to read the readings and attend class or you may not do well.

Prof. Chandler is a GREAT teacher, thats all there is to say. He knows so much about the subject and her is always prepared for class. I learned so much about San Francisco this semester. We also got to learn a swing dance for extra credit, it was great. It is not an "easy"/slacker class by no means but TAKE THIS CLASS its worth it because you will learn alot from it

This review of Mr. Chandler's performance as a PROFESSOR (which is what he is, by the way; not merely an "instructor") of the Humanities comes a bit..uh, late. I took his course on the city of San Francisco (or The City, as we provincials like to call it) in the Fall of 1985.

He was then and evidently still is an extraordinary educator; indeed, it was from his class that I gained the love of history that I retain to this day. He is an endlessly entertaining lecturer, a fair grader and the sort of real teacher who opens new doors in the minds of his students.

I'm glad to see that Mr. Chandler is still teaching. I'm equally glad to have found this site, where I can finally sing his praises in a public forum. He is arguably the best teacher I've ever had.

I was very disappointed with Professor Chandler's class. Although he was very enthusiastic about the subject matter, he offered little to no help with individual academic development. For starters, the main method of evaluation was two ScanTron tests, one at mid-term the other at finals. There was also an optional paper for extra credit. If you enjoy memorization of minutia this is your class. If you are looking for something even remotely challenging I'd keep searching.

Professor Chandler responded to my fourteen page essay with, "Good work A." Well, it's always pleasing to get a good grade but it would be nice to get even a little feedback for the $450 I paid for the class.

Basically this class was a sleep session with no opportunity for engaging debate. Anyone with a pulse and a social security number could easily ace this course which could explain why he is so popular. Professor Chandler is very nice, but the class demands no more than coffee table reading and consequently offers little in return.

Professor Chandler's greatest strength is his undying enthusiasm for the subject matter, whether it's Tennyson or cyberspace. He's one of the few professors who tries to foster communication among (admittedly) apathetic students, and constantly promotes interaction via (optional) extra meetings and email groups. You might not always agree with what he's saying, but you'll have plenty of opportunity to vocalize your own opinions. In fact, he seems to welcome this.

I would encourage every HUM student to take at least one class from Professor Chandler. I would also encourage any non-HUM student interested in any aspect of technology to do the same. The reality of the market right now is that there's a flood of techno-geeks out here, with very view of them having the added benefit of being able to communicate effectively, and with very few of them having a "big picture" understanding of the technology they're working on. Professor Chandler, through his classes, gives his students *both* the techno side and the human side, and, believe me, it pays off.

He's no doubt one of the best professors in SFSU. He's insightful and got great sense of humor, not to mention that he's grading system is quite fair. If I ever take any HUM class again, he'll be on the top of my choice. I highly recommen him to anyone who'll take any humanities classes.

Prof Chandler is an amazing professor who always has time for his students. His love for the Internet coupled with his deep understanding of the Humanites makes for a great combo. He advocates for the Internet but not blindly. In his class we read literature that critiqued technology and its possible downside. A very well rounded class. The San Francisco class was full of interesting stories about the city and his delivery of it keeps your attention. His tests are multiple choice, short and difficult. YOu must know the material or you won't get a high grade. Outstanding professor.

He is a very upbeat guy who loves new technology. He does power point presentaions with acid trip art that he makes in photoshop. He is not an easy professor. He is very demanding in the SF class. But, he is a wealth of knoweledge about this great city. We even learned swing dancing, the city's official dance, for exrta credit. He also required us to visit a national landmark and write about it. I have learned a lot from him.

Chandler is popular and rightly so. He is passionately into his classes and the community of San Francisco. His Internet & Humanities course should be required of all students. My only gripe is his testing methods, usually multiple choice - as this is so foreign in the Humanities department (Thank God!) many find them pointlessly difficult and irrelevantly trivial. Beyond this, Chandler's courses are not to be missed, for any major, and perfectly combine personal enrichment with "real life skills"...

Enthusiasm, humor, and depth in his field combined with a distaste for reading student papers (and a consequent distaste for assigning them) makes Chandler a must-take for any humanities/liberal arts major. Learn the Internet first and you will be in on one of his favorite obsessions...
