Reviews of professor Michail Savvas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures were very clear and organized, good for notes, explains things well, and tests are very much like reviews and represent material well.

Forgot to rate him for WI21's Math109. Over 60% of people in my section have received an A+, what could I say? Take him if you have a chance!

Dr. Savvas is extremely organized (and takes really great notes). Lectures are easy to follow as he doesn't teach too fast. Homeworks can get long sometimes, but in my opinion they were usually harder than the tests themselves. The tests followed a very specific grading format, so make to follow the methods he teaches in class. I highly recommend!

Professor Savvas started out the semester great. He stated the material would be hard, but that there was no reason to worry about our grade... He was wrong. As the semester went on, the material seemed impossible to grasp, and the test averages plummeted accordingly. For the take-home final exam, it was so difficult (nothing from lecture). Beware!

Savvas is an amazing lecturer. I'm unsure if this will remain after asynchronous classes, but the math homework has infinite tries, which is extremely helpful for grades. Quizzes are very fair, and relevant to lecture content. The textbook is still important, but the his lecture notes are amazing.

Professor Savvas is pretty funny in a geeky way. He is straightforward and concise with his lecture materials. I had to retake this course and he made it relatively easy. I could have had a better grade but I kept making silly mistakes on the exams when I could solve the problems in my head after the exams. He's the best Math professor I had here.

Savvas did a good job teaching Calc 1. There were some concepts he didn't break down enough but most he did well. Homework was tedious but designed to be harder than the tests. The homeworks make for a great study guide and practice for the midterms and finals.

I've always really struggled with math, but Professor Savvas was really great! A good lecturer and he does his best to make the concepts clear. I had to do extra practice outside of the assigned weekly homework in order to get more comfortable with certain methods, but that was kinda expected given my history with math. Would absolutely recommend!

Professor Savvas was my favorite professor for my 1st semester at UT Austin. He was an extremely personable man with a sense of humor and a great understanding of how to teach first year calculus. His lectures were engaging and easy to understand, he was a fair grader on exams (make sure you show work), and homework was always manageable.
