she is very very intellectual professor and will expect you to be smart and aware in return...if you are a science major and are planning to actually learn then you must take this class...other wise if you planning to "bs" then dont bother

She is graet Take her and you won't regrete

She is the BEST!! of all chemistry teachers. someone left a comment about her yelling at students, this is bs. if you ask a stupid question, like "whats my name", your gona get what you disserve. you will walk out of savkar's class you'll know that you are ahead of almost all the other chem students in other classes. She WILLNOT!! give you ur grade

She is the best their has ever been. you can tell when a person is doing exactly what they were ment to do. you dont have to believe me, try her class and she for your self. p.s. she only teaches at Annandale.

she is the best professor ever!!!!!!!!!

she likes to teach her student all the aspects of chemistry in our daily life.i like her and i wish if she is teaching organic chemistry in order to be the first one who will sign for her class. the best professor ever at NVCC

chemistry is a challenging class but Dr. Savkar is excellent at teaching it. she explains concepts clearly and she will help you individually if you ask her. offers an extra credit assignment (most people will need it). highly recommended.

She is demanding and does talks you down. But most science teachers are like that and believe me she's the best one. You just need to keep up with the many assignments and homework and you'll be fine. If you need the class and can handle a little "let down" then I highly recommend her.

I don't know what everyone is talking about. Everything she goes over is on the test, and they are not hard at all if you study what she goes over and do the homework. The only thing I agree about is when you ask her a question, she makes you feel stupid.

She is the best chemistry teacher I had in Annandale, if you study from the beginning and read the book then you may get an A in her class, that is if you study hard, she gives more time to complete an assigment if you cannot make it, she is very enthusiastic but if you make a simple mistake she would treat u as if u made a huge mistake.

Savkar is a GREAT professor! i aced her class easily.she wants all of her students to do very very well. she's the BEST professor i've ever had. i got an A in chm111 and a B in 112. i didn't turn in a few assignments. but get good grades on the tests and you'll get an A. just be on her good side :) i LOVE HER. i wish she'd teach all my chem classes

Well She was not the teacher I thought she would be. She is nice but hard. Her labs are okay and they could be fun if you have a cool lab group. Exams are hard if you don't study or do the homework. Her lecture is very confusing. I had to sign up for a tuitor to be able to understand her. I recommend if u wanna pass don't take her.

Savkar is a good teacher. But she is very hard! her exams are super critical thinking but if u work and read the chap you can get a decent grade. And sometimes when u ask her a question she ask you back the same question.lol. she is always available in office.

I had her for CHM 111&112. She'd answer your questions if you ask the right way. It is kind of tricky. It's not impossible to have 100 on her tests. Very organized lecture. Labs are fine. I hope she could teach CHM 241, too.

The material is hard. It is intro chemistry for science majors and at times Prof. Savkar is not at all clear in her instructions. However, she does not grade too hard and if you hand in your work with a reasonable degree of effort you can get an A.

Dr. Savkar is very good and knows her subject very well. If you are planning to know chmistry, do not mind lots of work, and you are good at reading the text, she will do the rest. Show your interest in chem and do the work on time and you have an A. Tests are not hard, just study. Chem is hard, so do not expect very easy A, but it is very possible

I don't think I've ever had a more skilled professor than Reva Savkar. College Chemistry is a difficult subject, and is an acid test for ability in the sciences; no matter where you go the subject is notorious for its difficulty. I learned a great deal from Professor Savkar. She is a skilled lecturer, repeats key points, and keeps you focused.

I loved Prof. Savkar. Chemistry is difficult, and CHM 111 is a tough class. But she made it very interesting and I fell in love with chemistry. You have to study very hard to do well, including lots of homework, but she rewards good work and it is not hard to get an A. She is very passionate about her subject; you have to love that in a teacher.

Ms. Savkar is the best chemistry teacher in Nova. She is very help full if you need help. Evenif she doesn't answer your question directly she let you to think about it so you can understand it better. her Exams are very easy. Overall she is the best teacher!!!

She was pretty hard before the withdrawal date. This was only because she was trying to weed out the people who didn't want to do their work, or were going to waste her time. After this, she was easy as heck. WEAR YOUR GOGGLES.

Her teaching style is unique in her own way. Explains everything very clearly. Tests were relatively easy IF you pay attention to what she is teaching... and no she doesnt look for ways to drop your grade. Take this teacher if you want to learn chemistry.

I think I never understood Chemistry quite well enough until I took Professor Savkar's class. I had my basic concepts, and she strengthened them. She's wonderful at explaining, gives excellent examples--you'll want to take notes more to have this for forever than to study for for tests. If you want to learn, take her to learn from the best.

I took the class ELI. Professor Savkar is a good teacher, but they really should rerecord the tapes. They are blurry. Otherwise, good class. Not easy, but good.

Hello I just want to let you guys know that she is the best chemistry professor I have ever had. let me tell you why because right now i am taking organic chemistry in ASU university and whatever she thought in general chemistry is still in my mind. She made me work hard through this course but I think it was worth it.

I took both 111 and 112 with her and I got A's. She is hard as well as her tests, but if you study and do the homework, you'll be fine. She is the best chm professor in NOVA. She explains everything clearly and expects the students to learn seriously. Highly recommended

Savkar is a GREAT teacher. She dosen't test you on anything she doesn't teach you in class. Be responsible; you'll learn, and you'll do well. HOWEVER: if you're not the type of person who can let things roll off your back, keep steppin'. I've seen her yell at students like they're dogs who just messed on an antique rug. She has a terrible temper.

She is an awesome teacher! She is very clear on what she wants you to know and learn and there are NO surprises on tests or quizzes. As long as you do your work and come prepared, chemistry will not be a problem. She genuinely cares that you are learning and understand the material. Offers lots of extra credit too. Best chem teacher at nova!

Professor Savkar is a GREAT teacher. She is very thorough, so she's hard, but she is also very encouraging and will help students who seek it. Attendance is a must, as well as participation, and above all, be respectful - she is very strict on manners so no hats, cover your mouth when you yawn, don't "lounge" in class...

stay away of her if you can.she teaches very clear and tell you what she wants from you since very first moment. she is extremly annoying and high temper.her exams are OK but she gives you just 50 min for atleast 25 questions. you can get an A but you have too kill yourself. she MUST participate in lecture. her labs are easy though.

she is very tough. not her test but her personality. very high temper. u MUST attend her class and participate. very strict but she teaches cery GOOD and clear. final is just 2 chapters and thats very good. labs are very easy and she is very helpfull. the only problem is she does not give you more than 1 hour for exams. but again a lot of guy got A

She is thurough,but she goes on 4ever about redundant things such as cheating (of course we know not to cheat)She contradicts herself, tells u not 2 miss class but she canc.'d a lab. She stresses "one person talks @ a time" yet she cut me off while asking a quest & gave me the wrong answer She's rude,& her class is bland.

Don't take her!!she is smart and knows alot,but she doesn't know how to teach. The online homework's waste of time,she doesn't teach anything relevant to the homework.Alot of students dropped her class,she still doesn't get it.I got good grade in her class,but i worked hard to earn that grade,save yourself money and time and find someone else :)

I would recommend taking her class because you will leave at the end of the semester with a knowledge of chemistry. Her teaching style may not be for everyone--she is very strict and requires preparation before each class. But if you apply yourself and work hard, your effort should pay off. Be ready to get a little frustrated though...

Has flexible deadlines, will give extension if you ask for it, always available if you have a question or need something re-explained. Need to attend classes to understand course material properly, and asking questions can be a bit daunting at first; but she'll go over it slowly if you ask.

She knows the material and encourages students. She also holds office hours,grades fairly as well. She has got very good skill to explain the subject in a simple way, which will make any student comfortable and confident about the subject. The text book and the online home works helped me a lot to excel in the subject. Highly recommend this Prof.

Well structured course, professor quickly responds to emails and is always ready to answer even the toughest ones. Also, as a previous reviewer mentioned, she is flexible if unavoidable situations occur. I would take another course with her as the professor.

Clear lectures, helpful way of explaining everything. Also enjoyed the homework system. Extremely helpful if you are having any problems, she will be flexible with deadlines. The tests are tough, you will not get an A on her tests if you aren't comfortable with the material.

If you are looking for an easy A; she is not the professor for you. However if you are looking to learn the material and are willing to put some effort into the class she is a great professor for that. She is very nice, will give an extension to just about all assignments, and the worst thing I can say is that she over explains things.

Prof. Savkar was VERY helpful! I mean she would respond to my emails in just 1-3 hours! Is not it amazing? And all her answers were very clear to me. I loved chemistry after her class. By the way, I took it 100% online, and communication is a very important part of the teaching process. And Prof. Savkar made the excellent job!

Guys, if you are looking for knowledge than Prof. Savkar is the right teacher. She is very clear, explains everything in very understandable manner. Responded very quickly to my emails. I would definitely take another class with her! Unfortunatly, I needed only CHM111 for my major. +10 out 10!!!

I took CHM101 as an online class with Prof Savkar and certainly got everything from the material and the instructor that I needed. Prof Savkar is approachable and helpful.

Prof. Savkar clearly loves her job. She cares a great deal about her students. She is EXTREMELY helpful during office hours and encourages questions during class. You need to do all of the practice problems ans go over your notes, if you do you will be fine. I highly recommend her.

Prof Savkar is a very niceteacher who really cares about her students. I must say it's not an easy class, there's a lot of homework but she explains everything very clearly. her tests are from class lectures and textbook sample problems. again, it's not an easy A. you'll have to learn the material and put effort into the class.

Professor Savkar has a genuine interest in her subject area. She wants her students to succeed, and is very understanding when it comes to individual's situations. If you ask her for help, or for an extension on an assignment, she is more than willing to accomodate you. She is a professor best suited to those who truly want to learn.

I took Prof Savkar's class online in an 8-week format. I'm smart and disciplined, but the class was TOUGH. To get an A, I had to truly study the textbook and do all of the homework. She is nice in person, but she answered only about half of my emails. She grades fairly, but don't expect her to hold your hand or spoon-feed the material to you.

I took Savkar's 8-week online CHM112 course. Overall it was a tough course being that it was accelerated and online. By all means though, it was manageable. She was unbelievably helpful (if you made the effort to meet with her). I would recommend taking her class if you're willing to actually take the time to learn the material. No stress.

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.

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.

Prof. Savkar is a great professor. She is like a mom as said before. She is always behind students so that they can do their best. Is a really tough class,but she is always there to help.

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.

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.

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.

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.
