He has a great sense of humor, and loves to tell stories that help you understand the concepts better. He knows almost everyones name, and is friendly and accessible outside of class. I would recommend prof. Chewy to everyone.",

When you start to doze off he tells funny personal stories. We had our discussion sections cut and he hosted office hours once a week in a large room to make up for it. He really cares and exams are fair.",
