Comment:
Savitsky was a very tough professor but it was admirable. I took the 'make or break' Econ Major course with him which was VERY difficult for me however, he always believed in his students and made you feel that it was all worth it in the end. I cannot say I did exceptionally well in the course BUT, it was worth it and I enjoyed his teaching.

He was an awesome professor and has perfected teaching on the block plan. He covers a lot and very quickly but every class at Cornell College does. Professor Savitsky is among the best here and as long as you pay attention he is very clear and he is more than willing to help students and answer their questions. He's hard but you learn a ton!

Comment:
I've been loving economics for all my life until i took his micro econ classes. The text book was awful, aka unclear and redundant. He moves on way too quickly that i don't think anyone in the class could follow him. I don't think he explains well and this class has been a nightmare, though i did better than the average grade.

Savitsky is a professor you love or hate with not too much medium. If you enjoy learning the material down to the detail, take his class and you will do well; however, he does not hand out easy grades for easy work.

almost changed my major, I liked his micro classes so much. friendly, approachable guy. very good teacher. take intermediate micro if you like a challenge. non econ majors should consider taking intro to micro for useful knowledge and a fun class.

His lectures are amazing. He will guide you to understanding in areas if you show interest yourself. Like Santhi, if you are soft, you probably won't like him.

Extremely good teacher. Teaches his class with utmost enthusiasm. Gives practical examples.Goes extra miles to help his students.His class is very hard and the exams are graded very strictly yet we can learn a lot..Just understanding the concept is not enough in his class. One has to be thorough. Highly recommended

Hard content, but he is amazing at teaching. Very willing to help, and good at it, all you have to do is make the effort to be there and ask. I don't advise taking this class 4th or 9th block, attention levels won't be high enough to hang on until the end of the course.

This was Professor Savitsky's first time teaching this course: Labor Market Issues. He was often unsure about things, but only because he was learning right along with us. He was always available to us and willing to help! He taught so everybody could clearly understand the topic! I loved the course even if it was really difficult!

Ooof! I think that this 100-level econ course is the hardest class I've ever had. I worked extremely hard and came out with a C. However, Savitsky was in his office EVERY day, willing to help us, sometimes until 5:30 at night!!
