Reviews of professor Joel Solbach

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
His lecture are long lecture and not very interesting. He is an easy grader, about four exams all semester but you have a quiz a week . If you do the worksheets you will pass all the quizes. The exams are all the quiz questions which is nice. The only real problem is you don't get to know your grade until the end of the semester.

Lectures were straight out of the text book and he struggled to teach the concepts. Since he worked in the field, it's obvious he understands practical chemistry, however he is not ready to be a professor. It exams were 70 percent from the worksheets he gives out 30 percent questions you never saw before. I don't recommend taking him.

Took him online was skeptical at first but overall he is a fair teacher. Gives about 4-7 assignments a week and that includes the lab and lab quiz. The book is online and he gives you access to it for free. If you work full time like I did during this course I recommend taking this class by itself.

Professor Sollbach is not my cup of tea. He completely lacks engagement in his lectures, making online learning exponentially more painful and difficult. He also takes his lectures, as well as most other provided materials, straight from the textbook. He barely seems to know the material and is a master procrastinator and bad communicator. Boo.

Prof. Solbach is an awesome professor. He explains the concepts fairly well. The one thing that stood out to me was that he was willing to do one-on-one zoom meetings with me when I was struggling with certain topics as well as extend due dates for assignments, if needed. He is extremely caring and understanding. He will always respond to you.

He's really nice and laidback and will help you on whatever you need help on

Such a nice guy. I took him for lab only. It was his first semester so he was pretty lenient with things. No quizzes, exams, or lab reports, just the FINAL! Just a mini homework assignments and the actual lab experiment. Easy class.
