Gary is a very excentric individual. He works very hard at playing the devils advocate. Subjects will be brought up in the class that you never would have expected, and he will shock you with his "wit" (ha) and foul language. Don't take him if you have strong morals and beliefs.
He was a wonderful teacher. I enjoyed him because he didnt talk straight from the book, also he challenged our minds to open to new ways of thinking.

VERY INTERESTING! He introduces you into a whole new level of psychology and his class is so easy. He doesn't believe in failing people as long as they go to class!

Dr. Solomon is an amazing, eccentric man. Besides a teacher, he is the author of a number of books, which he'll surely mention... ;P His class is a breeze, and a riot if you're not squeemish to racy discussion topics, and some obscenities ^^ this is a GREAT class
This is the greatest professor of all time. He makes going to college stress free and fun. I recommend him to everyone I meet. He's a really nice, caring, not to mention funny, person. And he helps students who are having troubles in their own lives. I definitely give him two thumbs way up! ^-^
Gary Solomon may be a good professor for people who don't have values or people who didn't have to pay for an education. I feel the majority of his class was a complete waste of my time. There were several instances where I was disgusted by his opinions on certain subjects. Young people already have problems with morals. Easy "A" though.
Dr. Solomon has a very unique way of teaching. He didn't work much from the book, and is VERY opinionated. If you are looking for an easy A take his class. If u are looking to learn Psy? Take a professor that will teach u the subject.
easy as hell. dont need to pay attention in class. final was too easy, a middle schooler could have gotten an A. only thing that sucks is the final which you can probably BS and get an A anyway.
This is the best teacher in the department. He doesn't stress you out or bore you to death with a lot of needless statistics. He makes his class practical and useful. He portrays the world around you in a new fresh sense, where anything and everything can change at any instance. He likes it when you tell him, "WHAT A GUY!!!"
really funny professor!every class is something new to learn he is very smart and has an interesting way of teaching. Ive never met anyone like him in my life! Class is extremely easy!!! no homework!
Professor Solomon is a wonderful professor! The class is stress free. There is absolutely no homework. He outlines the book for you and tells you what will be on the final. The class has no quizzes, no tests, just an APA formatted paper (on a topic he chooses) one final at the end of the semester. If you attend every class you are guaranteed a C.
Three of my friends on the baseball team with me got A's in his class and my friends are dumb. This professor is really easy.
Trys to make you think outside the box. Very provocative subject matter. Funny and entertaining teacher.
What a guy! The one and only class I didn't stress over, and looked forward to attending every week. Take him!!! Trust me you won't regret it, all you have to do is show up, and you will receive at least a C, do the one paper and take the only test (final)and your grade can only go up! He's such a great guy, you want to be there. Miss him already
xIndeed! What a Guy! Gary is a great psychology professor, knowing that he holds various degrees in psychology including TWO Ph.D. Hes a professor that does not like to punish students! Like he said in the begining you gotta try really hard to screw up your grade
HE'S A GREAT PROFESSOR, VERY FUNNY AND WANT YOU TO HAVE A GOOD GRADE. I ENJOY HIS CLASS SO MUCH TAKE HIM FOR PSY AND YOU WILL SEE FOR YOURSELF. I LOVE YOU DR. SOLOMON YOU ARE THE BEST : )
This class is fabulous.
Dr. Solomon is fabulous! He is absolutely out of control (in a good way!) He knows that 99% of the students are only taking Psy 101 because it is required. You are guarenteed at least a C if you show up, turn in the paper and take the final. It is practically impossible to fail this class! It's Psy put into real world application. Two thumbs up!
Solomon is an amazing proffesor. So far his class is very interesting and not difficult at all. Only one assignment and midterm. I am loving this class!!!
This class is an awesome class. It's fun, and exciting, and Dr. Solomon seems to understand and relate to all of his students. He knows when we get bored, and will crack a quick joke to get our attention again. It's super easy to pass, with only a final paper (under 3 pages) and a midterm. Both of which you don't even have to try on to get a C!
TAKE THIS CLASS! He is one of the BEST teachers I have ever had. You look forward to going to his class and you have a good time there. He makes you think, "Outside the box" and he makes you look at things in another way. His lectures are great and fun to listen to. The best part it is a easy A.
Dr Solomon is the best teacher I have ever had. He is different in the aspect of grades and teaching. He believes its not the grade that proves whether or not you learned something, but rather that he hasn't done his job if you haven't left with a better understanding. More teachers should be like him :] Absolutely, take his class
Fantastic professor. Always keeps class fun and interesting
this class disappointed me a little because i took his 101 class and thought it was amazing. he basically lets the students teach by having groups do 2 1/2 hr presentations on certain subjects. 1 paper. if you show up u cant get lower than a C
Dr. Solomon is the only teacher I have ever had that allowed me to stay awake for the full time. He is an amazing and hot professor and wish he taught every subject. Ha. He makes his class fun to learn in and the content we learn is class is very ineteresting also. Take his clas, you wont be disappointed. :)
I felt like i learned more sex ed in this class than psychology. the first day of class he told us all about his sex for grades program. a little while later he had us watch video's of different kinds of violence, and another day he had us watch videos of people getting raped. I'm scared to be alone be alone with him so i come late and leave early
The laziest professor I have ever had. There are several videos, very little lecturing, and he mostly tells stories about his life. On top of this, he lets the class early every time! If you want an easy A this is the class for you. You have to write a very short paper and for the final, he basically gives you the answers ahead of time.
Gary is not someone I plan to forget. He was simply brilliant and I am shocked to read some postings about him. But I can understand how his honesty and outspoken ways could throw the average person off. Def a course I am happy to have taken, I learned more than any text book I have ever read. If you want an adventure and out of the box thinking;
I really enjoyed Gary. This class is an easy "A". We had no tests and no final. Just one research paper at the end and one group project (powerpoint lasting about 2 1/2 hours) don't let that scare you. The time goes pretty fast.
Absolutely a blast. Almost changed my major because of his class. Fun teacher. As long as you show up for class you will pass.
I thought Dr. Soloman was a good teacher. His class is an easy A and we did next to nothing... Don't buy the textbook!!! its like 150 dollars and you won't even need it
Amazing guy. 2 Phd's, 2 masters degrees. His class might be the highlight of my week, some may call him a devil's advocate, but he is really fascinating. He will make you really think, about EVERYTHING, and also outside the box. I have learned so much, and only had to do a very short,easy paper and a final,and was gave answers prior. Extraordinary!
Great Person! Only 2 things to do all semester: a paper and the final. Must come to class though. Has semester party at his house. Down to earth. Glasses look like Harry Potter. Note to the wise read up on mind games/brain teasers because he does alot of them!
Do yourself a favor, and take this class! Solomon's class was riveting. Quite enjoyable. Easy class, semester party at solomon's pad, and great teacher and cool guy. Enroll in this class, even if it's the last thing you do.
He's such a genius, he's weird. But he's cool! Wouldn't recommend his class. "Thinking outside the box" was fun, but I learned more about psychology in Carlo Defasio's class, and it's an EASIER "A", and it's FUN. Dr. Solomon is cool, but over-rated.
BEST PROFESSOR OUT THERE! HE IS SUCH A FUNNY INDIVIDUAL! "THINKING OUT SIDE THE BOX" WAS FUN BUT CHALLENGING. HE HAS A PARTY AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER! THE BEST BEST BEST CLASS EVER! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TEACHER!
This class is an easy class. You do one assignment the whole year, which is easy as well. A few books to read but all you do is discuss them once you've read them. Mr. Solomon is nice and funny, but he does use explicit language and say some things that can be a bit extreme so if you can't handle it don't take the class!
Awesome Teacher, minimal work. 1 Test and 1 short paper.
Didn't like this class at all. His language was horrible and he makes you feel uncomfortable sometimes.
When i had my first class with Dr. Solomon, he was interesting and explicit with how he taught. He gives you outside the box challenges and he makes you feel stupid afterwards haha.. Overall, the final wasnt too hard and the researchwas so easy all you really have to really do is come to class Im goin to his end of semester class party, hopefully:)
Great individual....makes the class very intresting and fun.. this is a "must take class"!!!
Do yourself a favor and take this class! It's a pretty easy class, only a paper and final. You'll learn a lot and get to do a lot of "out of the box" thinking. Professor Solomon will change your life.
Attendence is very crucial. Lots of fun and laughter. Makes you really think and see things different. in a good way. one of the very best professor
There's something ODD about this professor. The class is easy but dont take if you want to learn psychology, textbook.
the most fun i have ever had in class
FAVORITE CLASS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!! i look forward to this class every week. he really does make me view the world in a different way. and i LOVE it! one paper and one test, thats it. its more an interactive/discussion class. hes really funny and i love is "thinking outside the box." take his class! you'll be sorry if you dont!!!
My favorite teacher at CSN, take this class even if you don't need it for your major. It is a fun class and will change the way you look at things.
He is a great teacher. Really fun and interesting. He's very blunt; not afraid to say anything. He likes to joke around all the time. Very easy class, but attendance is mandatory for a good grade. He really makes you think about everything! He is very open minded and helpful. He actually cares about his students. Take this class!
What a guy!!! great class! super easy. highly recommended if your taking a full load! its that one class you dont have to stress about!! Easy to talk to as well!
Recommended for everyone.
THIS TEACHER IS GREAT! U WILL REGRET NOT TAKING HIM IF U MUST TAKE PSY. HES FUNNY MAKES YOU CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK AND I ACTUALLY ENJOY GOING TO CLASS. U MUST ATTEND TO PASS BUT THERE IS HARDLY ANY WORK TO TURN IN. I LOVE DR. SOLOMON!!!!!
Had him for both101&102~immediately takes the pressure off& leaves ur mind open to learn, see things in a new way. Fantastic person~great Doc, He takes the time to teach APA paper construction and mech-awesome. you must show up, and b4 u realize it, the knowledge in in ur head. Always available to assist he students.
This teacher makes learning the material interesting and fun. He makes you question your original beliefs and towards the end of the lecture you may even have a new outlook on the topic. Great teaching style; can't wait to take another class taught by him!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Solomon is such a fun professor. He makes psychology an interesting subject. He's very funny. A MUST!
Lovedddd this man! Brilliant. Very funny. Very interesting.
His class is very easy and fun.
This man completely sparked my love for Psychology. His textbook is free (its online) and there is only one essay due. Attendance is mandatory, but he is so interesting that you actually want to go to class! The topics he covers are all relevant, and he is very open minded.
This class is not for the people that like structure, or want to know their grade prior to class end. A great class to listen to anecdotes from students and the teacher alike. I feel as though I don't belong in this "storyteller" class...I want bookwork for once. He does provide the internet book for free though. I would love to debate him...
The information he gives you, you can take with you and relate it to the real world. You accually go to this class to learn, and not care about a grade. You gives you a total new way at looking at things. Definetly take this course!

One of the best professor I have had in a long time at CSN.
Greatest prof I have ever had. Take this class! His mantra is "You are not your grade" which clearly says something about his teaching style. He wasn't concerned with grilling you and making you life hell, he was concerned with teaching you something real. He seriously taught me how to think outside the box. Amazing course! Oh and free book!
Wonderful Wonderful prof. So far the best.I highly recommend him. He's big on attendance, but that's about it. Always responds to emails , and is good at what he does.Trust me, take him.
Loved Dr. Solomon! He is the best teacher at CSN! He's very blunt, says what he wants, and makes you WANT to go to class! 3 hour classes fly by, and I love that he can joke around! Also loved his motto, "You are not the grade"!
Oh Solomon... I took him for 101 and 241. Does that say anything? This is one of the most incredible professors I have ever come into contact with. He makes everything interesting, and makes you want to come to class. The entire class always has a wonderful time, and half of them become Psych majors because of him! Class is mandatory though!
I absolutely loved Solomon! I took him for both 101 and 241, he is amazing. Super easy and fun professor. HIGHLY recommend him!
Amazing professor! I loved his class, although a few lectures are uncomfortable to say the least. Definitely an easy and enjoyable course, as long as you attend the class and pay attention. The research paper was very instructional. The methods he teaches are useful for all papers. A+++++ would take him again!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!
love you solomon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COOLEST TEACHER EVER!!!
Honestly one of the best professors. Extrememely interactive and hillarious. I felt like I was at a comedy show for 3 hours (although we rarely stayed that long) rather than a class. NO homework and one essay. Easiest A of my life and entertaining too!
Awesome professor. He really thinks out of the box and you very rarely ever use the textbook. As long as you come everyday and finish the paper, A for sure! Love this guy!
I wish all professors were cool like him...love the class!
The most interesting prof. I've had. Enjoyed every minute of his class. A wonderful sense of humor. I learned a lot mainly because he knows how to keep his students interested. Show up to class, do the paper,and pay attention. He talks a lot about the future. Who knows he may be right.
Sure his class is easy. But he is gross if you know what I mean. Doesn't believe in failure or giving grades, therefore there is no room to grow. Tries to hard to be cool and fit in.
BEST teacher ive ever had. his humar is very different from most teachers and thats what makes the class soooo fun. i love how honest he is and he basically tells you from the beginning of the semester if you dont like the way he is DROP HIS CLASS :) hes the best!
I'd rather shoot myself than take this class ever, ever again. He's so egotistical and self centered, it's not even funny. And the book he wrote and assigned the class was -awful- and really, really badly written. Seriously, dude, just... stop trying so hard. It's not working.
Great professor really interested and great lectures..
I love this professor! The only class I enjoy going too. His lectures can be disturbing, however they are eye opening. No work other than one paper, and the final. Walks you through the whole thing. You receive a C no matter what as Long as you attend every class.
Not a class for narrow minded people. This class is for critical thinkers. However, Gary is very opinionated so always question what he says. Don't be so gullible. Overall, Gary is amazing! Don't take psychology unless it's with him. He doesn't bring up the past, but talks about current news relative to the subject
Awesome teacher! He teaching style is very clear and interesting and it will be the only class that really craws you in day-by-day. If you are a Psych major I wouldn't recommend him because he doesnt teach standard 101 material. No one can fail as long as he/she attends his class as assigned.
I'm very sad today was my last day in solomon's class. I highly recommend taking his class! There is only one paper due the entire semester. This is a think-outside-the-box class.
This is not a traditional course. Solomon's "teaching style" is heavy on empty lectures and tedious discussion. He proposes that you "think outside the box" without any guidance on how, he's also very opinionated, and sticks to his side on things. He likes to gauge people's reactions to things and is somewhat condescending and presumptuous.
Easiest teacher that I have ever had! Literally only expects you to show up to class and listen. Requires a 1 page research paper for the final according to his specifications that he details to the class. If this is followed, you will receive an A. Does not believe in textbooks. Demands you THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX :).
He was my professor for PSY 101 and thought he was awesome so took him for PSY 241 and he was awesome again. Definitely not a traditional teacher. Doesn't give out homework except for a research paper and a group project. I actually learned a lot in this class and would recommend it to anyone :)
Amazing Teacher! Extremely knowledgeable on the subjects. He is patient and open minded with all topics that arise in class. It's a very independent class. You become the teacher. One group presentation. One APA Paper. No exams. Free textbook. I highly recommend it!
AMAZING!!! The best professor on Henderson campus. LOVE HIM! Highly recommended...you'll be sorry if you choose otherwise.
Great Prof. Very unconventional teaching methods, but the class was a real eye opener. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Oh, and deffinately an easy A if you show up to class.
Greatest class I took in college
If you want a show and an easy A, this is your guy. If you want to learn something or not be disgusted everyday you have his class, STAY AWAY! The only homework is to read the fictional book he wrote and to write a 1 page paper supporting his attempt to get a new medical diagnosis published. The man is ridiculous.
OOO MAN THIS TEACHER IS THE GREATEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER MEET> IF UR THINKING OF PICKING psychology this is your man.. u will be making an error if u choose a different teacher.
Think outside the box! Literally! This guy is awesome. Go to class every week and you will pass. Take him FOR SURE! He understands students has a lot on thier plate. All he wants is for you to show up and think outside the box. If I could I would take this prof every semester. Wish I could!!! Plus hes so hilarious. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Professor Solomon is a great guy. This was probably the easiest class I have taken. Easier than any high school class that's for sure. The one thing you need to do is make sure you show up to his class.
hes amazing. prepare to think outside the box!!!
This class is very easy and I always looked forward to going to this class. Only test and one essay the whole semester. Solomon is extremely funny and down to earth. Definetly should take this class
Awesome and entertaining. Make sure to participate and 'think outside the box', unless you want a lame class.
Definitely not the typical psychology class BUT it's very easy! Probably one of my most favorite teachers! He's very personable and open! Definitely take this class!
Best teacher I have had at CSN. He is brilliant and changed my way of thinking of school and life in general. He inspired me to change my degree to PSY. Great guy, fun class.
Greatest professor of all time. The easiest class with no work, yet made me think the most. I looked forward to every single class he provided. Hilarious and if you can't take a joke don't take this class. Recommending everyone who needs PSY to take Doc Solomon. Definitely think outside the box.. Really don't have anything negative to say.
awesome dude definitely recommend him , easy class , no homework & just one easy paper to write , attendance is necessary but no textbook required, he's super funny & down to earth :) I would take him all over again if i could !
BEST CLASS I HAVE EVER HAD!! Dr. Solomon is funny,keeps things interesting and makes class a very enjoyable expierence, wish he taught more classes he is the best teacher @ CSN
His class was easy and he is a funny guy, but I don't think it was a class worth paying for. You don't learn anything really and he doesn't teach much of anything. You mostly just learn from the presentations given by the others in the class. Although he is a nice guy I just would rather take a class where I actually learn something.
Great class. Show up, listen, participate and you will get a lot out of it!
Best of the best. Money well spent.
He's a great teacher, Very helpful he cares about his students and goes the extra mile to help his students.
Easy A! funny guy, no final exam, no quizzes and the lowest grade that he will EVER give is a C... best teacher
Solomon is a very caring teacher. He wants the best for his students you can literally not do anything in the class and he will still give you a C.But attendance is mandatory!There is no final or quizzes. The only thing you have to do is a 10 page paper and it's really simple!
This was his last semester and I hate to say that I'm happy about it. He was constantly talking about himself, I learned more about APA format than I did about Psychology.. It wasn't a traditional class, which would have been amazing if I could have learned what I had payed for, it was a complete waste of money, besides getting the credits for it..
Can't say enough good things about Prof Solomon & class. Liked not using traditional text. First day of class he announced "If you want a traditional psych class this in not the place for you." Emphasized "thinking out-side the box". Used everyday events to discuss psych issues. Liked learning APA style writing which I had not learned before.

Best teacher I have had at CSN. We had to research and present on a specific psychiatric diagnosis. Great sense of humor. Made me feel better about myself.
Dr. Solomon has been the most inspiring,and empowering professors I had ever met. His compassion for the students and passion for psychology clearly shows throughout the semester.Iam saddened to hear he had to resign, but I understand and support his decision. He's all about protecting the goodness in humanity. I'm honored&privileged to know him
He was an amazing teacher who clearly cares deeply about his students. I am glad to have been in his last semester class at CSN.
I miss Dr. Solomon very much, he was one of the most inspirational people I've had the honor to come to know, and it deeply saddens me that he left the college. Solomon cared about all of his students and his final hurrah for all of us was a beautifully orchestrated boycott of the college to defend our rights. CSN's greatest treasure by far.
This was by far the easiest class I have ever had in my college education. You literally learn nothing and still get an A. If your a slacker this was the class to take. Lowest grade he gave students was a C that's if you choose not to do the APA style paper he assigns. Unfortunate he is no longer with the school anymore. Great professor
Professor Solomon was outrageous. He literally gets off on humiliating one of his students. Called her to the front of the class and demanded she knew the answer. When she was confused and said she didn't know he literally pointed his finger at her forhead and HUMILIATED this girl.
