Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting a B- Anonymous 12/06/2024	This guy is literally the greatest professor, he is really nice and does a lot for his students to help them out. He makes calculus a lot more fun and easier to learn just by the way he teaches and the way he organizes information so you can remember it more easily such as the math "tool box". He has a funny sense of humor too. He is also amazing at giving analogies to complicated calculus concepts as well as showing proofs so you can actually understand how the calculus you are solving works. I'm hoping I can finish with a B- (after the final) and I would say my grade is not indicative of how good Professor Schlenoff is at teaching because otherwise it would be an A+, calculus is just pretty difficult. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU CAN!
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting a B- Anonymous 05/07/2024	Dr. Schlenoff is a great professor, and I like his rigor, but if you are slow, his teaching can be pretty fast-paced and hard to follow. though it does get you ready for the final, so take him if you are willing to put more effort for a better payout.
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting an A- Anonymous 02/06/2024	Dr. Schlenoff is great. It is easy to tell that he actually cares about his students and wants them to do well. His class is extremely well organized and he lays out exactly what you'll be doing each day. His lectures are easy to follow because he knows which topics are difficult and paces the lecture accordingly. The exams are pretty fair and you will do well if you go to the lectures and prepare yourself.
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting a B Anonymous 12/20/2023	Fantastic professor! If you participate, go to office hours (if necessary), and go to discussion you will pass the class. Professor Schlenoff was one of my favorite professors this semester. It is worth forming a connection with him. Would highly recommend.
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting a B Anonymous 12/20/2023	Professor Schlenoff is a fantastic guy and was one of my favorite professors this semester. Make it a point to get to know him and form a connection. He has relatively large lectures so it can become easy to skip classes and lose out on participation points. Just be engaged in lectures, go to discussions, and go to office hours if struggling. I promise you it will be worth your while and you will pass the class if you engage.
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting a C Anonymous 12/17/2023	Professor Schlenoff is the guy. He's funny at times but efficient, focused, and not at all rude in any way compared to other professors. If you need math140, he will get to the point regarding the work and efficiently prepare you for the final exam. With emails he's very responsive, and if you have a question, he will explain it in a way to help you understand in solving the problem. Don't get it confused, all Calc classes are hard might as well take it with someone who can teach well. You do need to make an effort, take notes on the problems done within class, review and try on your own. If you label each step he does, it makes absorbing the info easier. He does have quizzes once a week which can seem intimidating but they truly help you prepare for the midterms and final. He has an excellent ability to actually teach and help you learn. I'd taken calc before in HS and never understood the processes until this class. I'm glad I had him as first semester FC student.

Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/08/2023	best calc professor, explains everything in detail and always answers questions, quizzes and tests are very reasonable to what we do in class, always understanding about issues on your end, 10/10 recommend
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/06/2023	TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Dr. Schlenoff was an amazing professor. His lectures were very important and meaningful for providing the base you need to understand the topic, and the homework gradually enhanced your ability to master that topic. He speaks very clearly, answers questions perfectly, and occasionally offers extra help 30 minutes before and after class. He also put multiple practice questions from the textbook for each section (not just chapters but each section like 3.1, 3.2, etc). If you do these problems every week, you will undoubtedly get A's on all of your quizzes. Sometimes to persuade you to utilize the practice problems, he will put a problem on the quiz that is the same concept and uses similar methods as the practice problems. He also provides you with practice exams for your exams. Overall, you have all of the resources needed to get at least a B in this class. Don't slack, take the time to do your homework, and don't wait until the last minute to do so, use the resources he provides, and you will do great.
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting a C- Anonymous 11/17/2023	Although I am expecting to receive a C- in the class (I hope), Dr. Schlenoff is a great professor. I recommend you sign up for his section if you can as he is extremely helpful and does all he can to provide support to his students, which is hard to find in some other professors.
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Anonymous 05/09/2023	One of the best math instructors I have ever had. If you are not that confident in your math skills, Prof. Schlenoff will help you in every way that he can. I was in danger of failing this course but he and his TA sat through hours of office hours with me and provided me the support I need to pass. Truly a great teacher. Very fair grading policies and some opportunities for extra credit as well. Also, do the problems in the back of the book as they are almost identical to his test and quiz questions.
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting an A- Anonymous 01/25/2023	Amazing Professor. Super personable, answers all your questions without being condescending, and just wants you to succeed. Definitely take him if you get the chance!
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting a B Anonymous 12/14/2022	Prof Schlenoff is an excellent professor. By far the best 140 professor from what I have heard. His lectures are super affective at teaching the material and I never felt lost. The exams, while challenging, are completely fair game with absolutely no surprises on the content. This course is challenging but completely managable with prof schlenoff. If you are an FC student I 100% recommend taking 140 with him.
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Anonymous 12/11/2022	Really helpful instructor. Do the problems he puts on the syllabus and you'll pass every quiz. He also drops 3 quizzes, a few homeworks, and half of your lowest midterm. Take this professor if you want to learn and finish with a good grade.

Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 01/14/2022	He is a good teacher and he knows it. He put some of his lectures online and by the end of the semester, there were less than 10 people showing up for the discussions. He drops some assignments and wants everyone to do well.
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Anonymous 01/11/2022	The course is difficult, and Schlenoff doesn't provide any curves. On the other hand, he allows for grading exceptions such as dropping the lowest quiz grade or halving the lowest midterm exam grade. He may be fast paced but does his best to listen to the students. As long as you stay up to date and follow his recommended course of study you can get a good grade. If you find yourself struggling, make sure to reach out to him, Schlenoff does his best to help you whenever possible. For three weeks straight I requested for a one on one session that helped me review what we went over in class, and it helped tremendously. He has a good personality and has never shown a hint of a negative attitude throughout the entire semester. Even though I found the course difficult, it easily become one of my favorites just because of him.
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Anonymous 01/05/2022	I hate math, but Schlenoff saved my butt with his grading policy. He halves one of your exams, drops one quiz, and erases 3 of your homework assignments. One time, the whole class bombed one exam and allowed us to correct our mistakes for half of our points back. If you know nothing, you gotta do your own studying (to the person who rated him 2 stars). If you DO know Calc, you'll be fine. Glad I had him as my professor because I would have failed with another professor. If you are in Freshman Connection and have him, don't switch out unless you know you suck at math. It's calc, did you expect it to be easy?
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Anonymous 12/18/2021	Coming into 140 with no prior calc experience, I was absolutely terrified. I expected to immediately withdraw and hate the course for the rest of my life. Schlenoff changed that. He not only is an incredibly smart and talented lecturer, but a caring person who deeply wants his students to understand and excel at calculus. His exams are hard, the quizzes suck, and the homeworks are annoying... but by god you will learn calculus well and he will be rooting for you all along the way. I feel incredibly prepared for MATH141 after taking this course, and coming from someone who thought they would have to take 115 after dropping 140, Schlenoff is an amazing professor. If you can, take him. There is a reason why he has a 5 star review here, and the moment you start the class, you understand.
Craig Schlenoff Anonymous 12/17/2021	Dr.Schlenoff swears he is the nicest guy on the planet but will fail you without thinking about it twice, he moves at about 1000 mph and barely notices when students have questions and when they do the answer is at 2000 mph and you will not understand it. Definition heavy and super heavy work load.
Craig Schlenoff MATH140 Anonymous 12/15/2021	If you have the option to take calc 1 with Schlenoff DO IT!!!! He really cares about his students and enjoys teaching which really helps. I took AP Calc AB in high school but I did not understand it well. Schlenoff explained everything amazingly and was always helpful with questions. He teaches by mainly doing practice problems which is how I learn best so that was a plus. He gives weekly quizzes but they are very easy and the exams are not too bad.

He's really good at teaching and teaches thru examples, unlike other teachers. Posts the lecture recordings if you email him and is very understanding. I've never taken calculus and he did a really great job explaining. He is very engaging and his main goal is to help us do better. Couldn't have asked for a better math class this semester, no complaints.

He is extremely clear, fair, understanding, and the workload is very manageable. I wouldn't say it's an easy A but it is very easy to figure out what specific work you need to do for the A. The weekly quizzes are almost always based on the textbook practice problems from the syllabus so it's easy to do well on the quizzes. He doesn't have office hours but he is extremely responsive to email. He is chill and relatable and approachable and really is on the students' side. It's a shame his schedule only allows him to teach FC. Anyway, take Schlenoff.
