Alex Safsten MATH241 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/05/2024	Safsten is amazing. He explains concepts very clearly in lecture and makes the most difficult concepts not seem so bad. The midterms are more than fair and are very manageable. The worksheets in discussion are harder than the problems on the midterm so if you understand the worksheets, you'll do fine on the midterms. I highly recommend him and would 100% take him again.

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.
