Reviews of professor Eric Solomon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Solomon is really a caring professor, trying his best to create an inclusive classroom. He assigns a LOT of readings (mostly novels though) and papers, but he grades quite leniently. He has a very interesting personal backgrounds, so there are many interesting stories in class.

Read the long-form texts (On the road, sing unburied, etc, etc). Everything else you don't need to read. Class is free A if you put in the work. The quality of your papers does not matter as most are graded for completion. The lowest grade on each paper was usually around an A-. Never had to put in any work and got 97-99 on all evaluative credits.

I had the privilege to have him as my teacher. I learned so much in his class (mainly pertaining to Intersectionality and Politics). His english class will help me with my future as a political figure. There's plenty of group projects but nothing you would need to worry about. There's also a final research project; you can right about anything

If you need an easy Q and W credit, take this class. Although it is reading heavy and you will be writing a lot, it's a lot easier than most 200 level courses and Professor Solomon is extremely nice and an easy grader. He truly loves his students and the topic itself was quite interesting. Would definitely recommend.

I wasnt very fond of this class because of his choice of grading. Rather than grading on the quality that he heavily emphasizes, he grades based on completion and gives you a B regardless of the workload compared to other ENG185 classes. I like that he wants to talk about various topics that can be seen as taboo, but it feels forced and savior-ish

His class is mostly reading the material and discussing it either in class or in small groups for participation. Half of the class was asynchronous so you'd have time to read the material during class time. He is pretty understanding and gives extensions when you need them. If you want an English class that's not overwhelming, I recommend him.

Dr. Solomon is a nice teacher. He makes the course load tolerable and understands his students. His way of lecturing sounds philosophical and he likes quoting random people so it might be a little hard to understand at first.

I LOVED Dr. Solomon. He always gave such good advice on our papers, and I felt like I wrote about things I actually enjoyed. The lecture can be dry sometimes, but thankfully he doesn't have us do any work outside of class to prepare for it. Usually you just use the principles of what he talked about in a more interesting piece of writing.
