Horrible.Only class I have truly been MISERABLE in bc of the prof.She reads of slides,tells us not to take notesbc she'll post them online for us to study (we had a quizEVERY thurs) and thenshe wouldn't post them or would wait until an hour before class, and then say "oh well, do your best..." when we'd call her out. its NOT WORHT IT.STAY AWAY!

this lady is an idiot...i had her for a T/R class and you only had to go to class to take the quiz for about 10 minutes then leave...and she puts the notes online so you dont have to stay or go more than once a week...all quizzes are MC...she isnt helpful at all and loses everything...she is so ridiculous...DO NOT TAKE HER.

Dont take this professor if you want to learn anything from her. She doesn't teach anything, the only good side is you don't have to go to the class except for quizzes and tests. She is hard to follow, really I would not recommend her to any college student trying to better themselves

She screwed up everyone's grades and a few of them still haven't been fixed. It's like she saved all the work for the last 2 weeks of class. She's unclear in her teaching and especially her assignment expectations. She's extremely scatterbrained and plain awkward.

Yeah so I have her for Bio and that class is so hard. She just sits there and lectures and lectures and I never really learned anything. Good things are she doesnt take attendance and puts the notes online so you never have to go to class...just be sure you study them cuz that's your only hope

HORRIBLE teacher: it is so hard to sit through this class without falling asleep, the class takes twice as long than it should cuz she talks way to much and her voice is extremely monotonous. The class is an easy A but she takes forever to grade labs and is very unorganized. Do not take this professor!

Comment:
Not a great teacher at all. For our mid-term grades, she gave everyone a B because she didn't feel like grading anything.. We have completed 1 lab in 2 months... I start to doze off when she starts talking for more than 5 minutes. Very uninteresting, however nice.

Don't hold back if you are considering taking her for Bio Lab (general req.) Easy A, she is very easy going and is willing to help if there is a problem..just follow directions and come to every lab and you're good to go :)

It is very hard to sit through a lecture, but you have to take good notes to do good on exams. Dr. Savitzky means well, but she's very monotone and unorganized. Exams are all ESSAY.

She is horrible. She loses our labs all the time and takes off so much for little mistakes. Labs take twice as long because she wont stop talking. Avoid this teacher at all cost.

Comment:
Course material is halfway interesting but her lectures are very unorganized. Seems to just ramble out facts. Her voice is like straight monotone too, will put you to sleep in less than 20 min... Exams are all essay; no multiple choice. Interesting course, but not so interesting of a professor...

Material not difficult, but she contradicts her own information that she teaches on different days. Confused delivery of material. Teaching seems like a burden to her. Unenthusiastic about the subject. Glad I didn't have her for Intro Bio I might have changed my major!

Often forgot where I was during class.Felt feelings of depression & anxiety during lecture.For a moment I thought I had died & went to hell.One day I thought I saw the clock move backwards.Now I know why her husband lives in Japan.One time after her class I forgot how to get home. Hope This helps!!!

She is not helpful at all and takes no interest in your grade, couldn't care less if you fail. The laziest teacher I have ever seen when it comes to assisting students.
