She is a nice person but a really bad teacher. She gets rude at times during labs, and overall does not know how to teach. She know what she is talking about, but her way of teaching is awful.

Comment:
I'm surprised at the ratings this professor has. I find her to be extremely passionate about teaching and really interested in student's progress. She gives feedback if you want it after each exam and is available for in person help for hybrid or online courses. If you follow her directions, there is no way you can fail.

Comment:
I'll admit that she's intelligent and passionate about teaching chemistry. However, she is extremely rude and tried to humiliate me in front of class. I made a small mistake in lab and she asked me and my lab partner if we did not know how to read and asked us to read out loud the label on this bottle of chem solution we were using for the lab.

Comment:
Despite her extremely high voice, she still manages to be one of the most boring professors I've had. Get ready to take annoying breaks from note-taking as she will stop and say something about how what she is saying is right (is she telling us or herself?). Also a the more heavily-graded quizzes are online. Might as well be a hybrid course.

I took her for chem 112 online over the summer. This was a 7 week course that was so much in such a small amount of time. As our only communication was via email, she took a very long time to respond and when she did it was almost like she never read it and she is only available wends. The tests were difficult. Don't take chemistry online!

Comment:
READ THE FINE PRINT. I got a B in the class, but almost failed because my quiz average was below 60. The fact that I didn't, however, means that she does value learning over strict rules. The tests don't really reflect the quizzes very much, but they're not terribly difficult. I took CHM 111 with her. Just don't miss a lab or quiz and you're good.

Comment:
She may be great in-person, but is the worse online teacher I've ever had. Quizzes and tests didn't reflect the readingstudy material. She took 3+ days to email back (& offers nothing more than "study the chapter); she took weeks to return scores. She expects 30+ hours a week studying. More than half our class dropped. Avoid if at all possible.

She usually not answers emails right away and takes forever to post the score from the tests. It seems we are alone and there is no professor to help. I am taking online class and have received one email in almost two months.

She is a great teacher but she is not easy. You will need to put in the work. She does give a couple of extra credit assignments. There are a lot of in class and online quizzes. You will have to work for an A but you will appreciate how much chemistry you know after it is all said and done. She is really inspirational.

She demands so much work from students but at the same time she is very helpful and if you do whatever she wants you too you will get a good grade in her class. Students usually dont like her because they dont know how to deal with her. She is very helpful and responds to ur emails ASAP. I recommend her strongly if u want to learn.

Comment:
Contradicting person.. She doesn't want you reading from the txtbook while she lectures, then next minute expects you to whip out the book and read from it. Has high expectations; read material ahead of time. If you don't get the material learned that class period by the next class, she gets cranky. Also talks too much. *EXPECT A QUIZ EVERY CLASS.

Comment:
Prof. Savkar's intentions are in the right place, but egotistical and maniacal behavior make her hard to like. She often nudges at her prior successes in order to "prove" how qualified she is as a teacher and scientist. Expect an enormous amount of repetition in both routine and lecture. High pitched accent is somewhat bearable (3 hour lectures)

I took it online. If you are okay to get C, take this course. She is not online-friendly. You have to do all the work and if you mess up exams, A is gone. Grading portion of exam is too high so exams are important. I would not take her ever again. But I passed tho

A good teacher, but also crazy. She told us that she expects "40 hours plus" studying at home and has a quiz every class as well as some quizzes online. If you are caught cheating, she fails you for the entire course no matter what. Using anything on your calculator besides basic functions is cheating (i.e. no temp. converter on calc etc)

Took her online. I got full points for all the labs I turned in. The quizzes are taken on computer. Pretty nice b/c u get two tries for the quiz, so if u didn't u do well on ur first one, u can still make up for it. Best thing about her is that she let's u drop ur lowest test grade. So, u can skip a test if did well on the others.

Professor Savkar gives you every opportunity to succeed and get a high mark. She expects a lot out of you on the exams, but nothing more than I would say is appropriate for this type of class. Follow her instructions on how much to study, study hard, take advantage of extra credit, and ask her questions when you need to do so.

I took her online course. I emailed and posted to blackboard and still had no reply to my questions weeks later. I also know that other students had this difficulty as well.

Comment:
Prof. Savkar, is a great professor that likes her students to learn. She is like a mom behind everyone. She is happy when her students succeed and try. If you go for help individually, and she sees the effort that you are doing, she considers that a lot for participation points.
