If you do the homework and papers you will pass. Strict attendance policy allowed 3 misses. Easy A if you keep up with tedious tiny response papers.

Comment:

He is a tough grader on long papers, but he does give you a lot of time to write them with many times to get drafts reviewed. He's moderately funny (I have to give him credit for trying).

Dr. Chesley is a fantastic professor - one of my favorite so far! I do not enjoy writing at all but somehow he made it enjoyable. Dr. Chesley cares. If you have any questions or concerns, he is more then willing to help you. I would definitely take him again. As for his teaching style, he loves to compare writing to cats verse dogs. Pretty fun!

Dr. Chesley is very helpful! I took his class when an unexpected illness struck. Being a commuter from 45 minutes away this was devastating. He worked with me in order to make my grades. I couldn't possibly have made it through this semester without his help!

"BUONGIORNO!" High energy teacher who makes just about everything interesting and fun. Hated 2 of the 4 books we read but talked to him about it and he gave me new ideas to try and see if I liked the books more. 1. Read Pride & Prejudice (his favorite book) as if it's in the midst of a Zombie Apocalypse. It helped. Calls you a "Person of quality".

Comment:

Not a big fan of the stories we read, but Chesley doesn't let anything be boring. The class is easy, the homework can be done in ten minutes flat, and the exams are handed out as study guides. Not only that, but Chesley knows what he's talking about and makes the work entertaining and playful. Ask about his cat that's named after a serial killer :)

Intro to Fiction is a very easy class. The work is the same exact thing every day and exams are basically given to you before hand. Chesley is a good teacher and very approachable.

He is a nice and fun professor, but I only had him for an intro class, so I don't know how he handles the upper classes

He is away this semester and we miss him very much. Not that we'd wish him back at a place that doesn't appreciate him. I hope he is having a good time wherever he is.

Chesley is the best instructor. He is really funny and he tells interesting stories. I don't know how I would have made it through Aquinas if I didn't have his support and guidence. He really is a teacher of quality.
