A very interesting class, made more lively by the professor's personality. He is passionate about the material he assigns. Somewhat strict in grading, but fair.

I am a business major, but Dr. Savvas got me so worked up for literature that so far I consider his class the best inspiring experience at SDSU.

I took this class 10 years ago and I still remember this guy. Made me appreciate literature, which is something that many teachers have failed at over the years. I had read Hamlet before, but he taught me why it is great.

Comment:

The subject is easy but he is not an easy teacher. He expects you to read the plays a million times and if you don't know direct quotes and who said what and why they said it you are screwed, that's how most people in his class get a bad grade. If you can avoid him as a teacher, just wait to the following semester, he's not worth the torture!

Comment:

He expects you to read the plays 3+ times...his tests are really lengthy...his lectures are boring...he can be rude to students...he talks down to everyone and doesn't seem to want to help make the learning experience interesting/fun for anyone...

Comment:

I adore Shakespeare, and he almost took away that joy. HE IS EVIL, he likes to humiliate his students. Teaches as if he is doing a huge favor to the class, probably the only way he can get attention since he is a sad little gnome of a man.

He expects you to be busy and to think over the material. Not a professor for slackers. Overall though I got a B, the class was a most rewarding experience.

Memorize, memorize, memorize! He gives you very little time and rushes you through exams even though your entire grade depends on them. And yes, he only wants to hear you say what he told you to say.

Comment:

he is a jerk don't take him unless you are ready to agree with everything he say. He talls his students they are wrong in comprehensive situations. He loves shakespeare but thinks his interputation is the only one that is correct. H
