There are weekly quizzes (very short and doable), one midterm, and a final. His accent is an obstacle for me to watch the recorded lectures but it seems like others are fine with it. However, reading his notes is enough for me to do pretty well in the course. All materials are well-organized. My only complaint is the final is 60% of the grade.

Took math 1001 in the fall 2020 semester online and regretted it. Lectures are very long, all at least an hour, sometimes more, and dry. They were also unlabeled, so going back to re-watch or find a lecture on a specific topic is a pain. Weekly quizzes and WebAssign. Midterm worth 25%. Final exam worth 60% was very difficult.

The professor to teach Math2000 ever. He skips so many steps and does not explain his work at all. Good for Math1000 or 1001 because they're easy, but DO NOT take with him Math2000. Has good notes. His lectures, explanation, and proof make no sense. If you take Math2000 with him its going to be a self-taught course. Bad.

I haven't finished this class yet so I'll add another review at that time, but thus far he is an amusing professor (in his online lectures) and seems to want students to succeed and explains (if you pay attention).

Dr. Solomon is one of the sweetest profs at MUN! He really appreciates it when people ask questions and wants his students to understand the material and succeed. So, anyone saying he's a lousy lecturer probably isn't putting in the effort. Solomon is a very fair grader and gives bonus marks and other opportunities to improve your mark.

Dr. Solomon is nice, but makes his lectures painful to attend and watch. Did the bulk of the semester *very* slowly doing handwritten notes. did the last 3 lectures with fill-in notes because we had a chapter and a half to cover in the final week of classes. Also had a lot of issues/contradictions in notes and tests throughout the semester

Amazing prof for math. He is very caring and doesn't mind helping with assignments if you go to his office hours. I took math 1000 and 1001 with him and wouldn't hesitate to take another course with him. practice midterms he posts are same type of questions as on the real midterm.

Was very disorganized when it came to class and giving lectures, often made huge mistakes when giving examples which made it hard to know how we were supposed to do the problems.Took forever to write out every single word in his notes instead of doing fill ins which he decided to do at the end of the year because we were behind. He is sweet though

Very caring and friendly professor. He is very clear in the course requirements and tries his best to make the course simpler. The difficulty of the course comes from how it is graded by few things. Doing good in midterm and final is very important to just pass the course. There is also one group project which is very short.

I have taken math 2000 and math 1001 with Solomon. He is great in both courses and teaches the material very well. His tests are always reasonable; he is very helpful in his office hours and LOVES to talk about math with his students. I would definitely take a course with him again if the opportunity presented itself.

Personally I found him very difficult to understand. In his lectures he moved very quickly and I never understood what he was saying. I hadn't done any math for over 2 years and he didn't go in detail to where he was getting his numbers from. Although his quizzes and tests are pretty fair and not too long.

Solomon's lectures were quite difficult to follow. Spends the classes doing questions but doesn't explain anything fully. Workload is very heavy consisting of an assignment, a quiz and a set of webwork questions weekly. Assignments were difficult but this is because he tests the easier material. He's very caring and will help you if you ask him.

This class was meh. there was no textbook to reference. The only thing that gets posted are his bare skeleton notes with no workings. I taught this entire course to myself as his notes were so confusing to navigate and I would just get lost. Though he was understanding about an issue with missing an assignment so i'll give him points for that.

Although this professor has an accent, he is a good teacher. He covers many examples in class and will answer any questions you have in detail. His office is always open for those who may have a question and is a great help. There were a decent amount of assignments, webwork problems, and quizzes/tests, but overall was a pretty good prof.

Definitely feel as if Solomon's rating is skewed by the fact that this is a lot of people's first time taking a calculus course. He's very passionate, very accessible and takes his time to explain key subjects. Remember that you are responsible for YOUR own learning before tearing into your professor.

He's alright, maybe above average. His lectures are adequately well done and coherent, but man this guy easily has the worst notes I've seen yet. For whatever reason, he only uploads partially filled out notes and what he does include isn't very clear or helpful. Definitely a guy who takes a backseat to a certain Khan when taking his class.

Solomon's a nice enough guy, but I have never taken a more disorganized course. His notes are ineligible and hard to understand, WebWorks are sent out unannounced, there's no set topic for quizzes, just what was covered "last week," and the disparity between practice problems and tests is insane. I'd avoid taking calculus with Solomon.

Solomon will go out of his way to help someone if they ask him a question. My only problem with this course is his assignments are brutal, they are only worth about 8% but they are hard. His test was fair but most if not everyone ran out of time. He teaches the topics very well and the way he teaches is very understandable.

Avoid him if you can. finished a 10 page material in less than 10 mins and tells you to read the rest yourself. Don't even think about getting answers from him by email, at this point I'm assuming he doesn't care. Really tough grader.

I honestly think he's a great professor: his explanations are straightforward (as in step-by-step) because he demonstrates them on the spot, and you can check your assignments in his office. While he does make mistakes during lectures and sometimes goes quiet, I personally think his quizzes and midterms are fair.
