The professor taught very professional in each class. She has gorgeous faith in her job. In addition, she respects us, her students. She never gives a hard time to us but not spoiled. Furthermore, she is a great kind heart person, who all the time caring other who need help. Not only the knowledge, she also taught the youth to be a good one.

Comment:

I took her esl122 in summer. At first i could not catching up because my writing skill was really poor. But she really helps students to learn how to write and how to express their thought. Just follow her steps and do your OWN work, you will easily pass the class.

Comment:

She is nice to us, but she is not clear bout teaching goals. We could see the the same lectures she made 5 years ago and never changed. She is old school include the knowledge, she doesn't accept to change. If you ask her a question, she will interrupt you when you don't finished yet, and explained a lot not related to the question. DON"T TAKE!

Comment:

She is a old school. She gives us A LOT of homework and asks us A LOT for print. Everybody has different thought, but I think her classes are so boring, and she gives us too many stuff to do. Also I get stressed by taking her class so far. If I could change my prof, I definitely would.

She is nice. However, in my opinion, she does not know how to teach. She gave us lots of work, but return it back slowly. That is to say, we kept making the same mistake. In addition, she does not have schedule of what to teach per class. Sometime we went back home of learning nothing. Furthermore, she likes to ask us to print out A LOT.

I took her class last Fall. It was my first semester in America, so I was worried if I couldn't get a good grade. However, she helped me a LOT for everything. She is strict, but she is actually really kind and nice. I improved so much thanks to her lecture. She is the best grammar teacher. So, if you want to improve your grammar, take her class!

Prof. Savas is a nice person. Although I took her ESL 122 class 1 year ago, I sometime still visit her and ask for her help for my ESL 33A&33B class. She doesn't give a lot of homework.

Comment:

This teacher is very hard, harder than any other teacher I have taken and she's hard at her grading also. She gave a lot of homework that you need to print out. I printed 100+ white papers after I attended her course. -Also, a lot of repeating at lectures which makes it very boring and sleepy

Prof Savas is quite hard. However, she is very very helpful. You're very lucky if you can attend in her class. You can be trained as a good student. The score that she gives you reflects exactly your ability. Overall, she is great!

Comment:

Frankly Speaking, she is a really hard professor. However, she goes over all the materials detail to write research papers and essays, so I would like to say that she is also extremely helpful for English 1A. Again, she is one of the hardest teachers at PCC, but If you do your best on your papers, I am sure that you will receive the grades you need

She is hard, but extremely helpful. Without taking her class, I could not get A on English 1A and B. She is very passionate professor. If you are hardworking student who wants to learn a lot, then definitely recommend her!

Comment:

I passed her class. She's so hard. SUPER HARD. The hardest professor I have ever met. If you want to be safe, just follow her rules. However, you will learn a lot from her class, but it's gonna be tired and painful for you guys who take more than 15 units. If you have low level grammar, dont take her. She doesnt like that. Just work hard.

Comment:

choosing this class saves money coz you need no textbook but a dictionary. She is a very nice and fun teacher. But, her class isn't easy, she tried to make you prepared for 1A. Following her guide to write essays would be very helpful. in summary, hard but very useful to take her class!

Comment:

If you want to be a writer this is the class to take. This is not for the faint of heart, she pulls no punches. There is a lot of writing and she won?t stand for work that is subpar, you just can?t ?mail it in? in this class. You will know how to define a tragedy and what elements make up a ?fine? tragedy. She is Greek so be prepared for some Ari
