Reviews of professor Alex Solomon

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Solomon is super nice and a straightforward professor, I'm glad I took him for expos. Although expos is known to be a tough class, he explains the articles really well and grades leniently. He is also usually willing to meet and give good feedback. Class also gets shifted to online a lot which is nice and convinient.

Alex is a very kind, caring professor. He is an average expos teacher when it comes to assignments. You have your standard 5 papers, with midterm and final. Don't skip class if you want the depths of understanding the readings and the connections. He really wants his students to understand both sides they can argue. He is a very fair grader.

The Professor would never show up to class. And most of the time he would cancel class the day of. He is an extremely tough grader and all around very confusing, lazy, and uncaring. I would highly recommend finding another teacher to require your Expository Writing Requirement.

Professor Solomon was a great teacher! I enjoyed his class this semester. As long as you ask him questions, pay attention during lectures, and genuinely try to better your writing piece, you will pass the class.

I really respected professor Solomon and enjoyed coming to his class every week. However, the assigned project for the semester was challenging and he had high expectations for students who have never done anything like this. He always seemed to be critical of my work and my grade did not reflect my effort or in my opinion my quality.

Hard to please. He expects us, students who are learning as they go, to know exactly what to do. He tells us our work is wrong and doesn't tell us how to improve. The work is so challenging and I dont think he considers that when grading our work. Feedback is always harsh too, acts like I should've known how to do the work perfectly the first time.

Had him for Expos and Argument. Think he was and will be the best professor that I've had a truly intelligent person. Great lectures, brings up great points that challenged me to think critically. At the same time, doesn't sit in silence and force kids to speak, just likes to share his thoughts. Very philosophical. Seriously worth going to class.

I loved him. Dope dude and I even used to just chat with him and have normal conversations as opposed to everyone just trying to ask him about their grade. He really is chill and tbh if you just improve half a letter grade on each paper you should end up with a B and for the B+ and A definitely got to try a bit but overall it was nice.
