Alex Safsten MATH140H Expecting an A Anonymous 12/21/2023	He's a really great professor and makes this hard class durable. His exams are never crazy hard, and while some of the classwork and homework may challenge us, he made it clear that the exams are not meant to stretch the material but test us no the concepts we should already know. He made the exams medium level so not crazy easy but never types of problems that we hadn't seen and worked with before. No curveballs on the exams. His lectures move fast, but because we only meet 3 times a week, we do have a lot of material to cover. I took advantage of office hours and he is very flexible with availability. Overall, he is a really understanding and caring professor. If you need extensions on the homework, he is flexible and understanding and will grant them with no points off. While calc 1 may not be the easiest class, this is most definitely the professor you want if you have to take this course.
