Reviews of professor Mai Soliman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Soliman just might be the best professor I've ever had at Rutgers. Her lectures are very clear and she spends so much time going over problems that show up on exams multiple times during in person lectures and office hours which are recorded. I barely had to study genetics for the mcat due to her, and she made mcat and biochem genetics easy.

A good and kind person. However the class is VERY rigorous. You must study in detail 1-2 weeks before an exam. Lots of homework. But lots of opportunities to succeed by going to class. Take good notes, go to class, study VERY hard, and do all the practice problems. I would take her again, but it was super stressful to be honest.

Watching lectures, studying, doing homework for this class can be very time consuming so make sure you are not taking other hard courses when taking this one. Each week there is a quiz, problem set, 4-5 achieve assignments, and 2 lecture videos to cover. She is a good lecturer but the material is a lot. (Also attendance matters!)

extremely difficult professor. very boring & bland. does not teach effectively, comes to class 5 minutes late every time and goes on her phone for the first 20 minutes of class while we do TWIG problems in which she doesnt even help us with. there is a reason why everyone at Rutgers says to take glodowski and not her.

She is an amazing lecturer. She explains everything with great details and manages to make the hard concepts easier. Her exams are considered hard but they are not that bad, she just tests if you really know the material or you just memorized everything on her slides. She has problem sets and go over them every week and they were extremely helpful.

Her teaching style is unique, and she uses a lot of collaborative work in her classes. Her in-person problem-solving sessions are f just a free-for-all and don't confirm whether your answers are wrong or right. Her lectures are pretty good, except she will zoom through an important topic. She also never replies to emails, FYI.

I think Prof Soliman is fantastic. She has a true passion for teaching and her understanding of her content makes following along easy. This class takes a lot of work, especially the lab, but it is most definitely worth taking. If you put in a fair amount of work, you will do well

Prof. Soliman is the harder 380 teacher. Her exams are definitely more difficult than the practice in class + hw, but she is accessible outside of class and holds plenty of review sessions. This class requires a ton of work outside of it, so keep that in mind. Overall fair, but difficult.
