Professor Solis was awesome. We read the coolest minority literature in her class. She really understands critical reading and writing. This class was really mind opening and Professor Solis was very helpful.
Very good teacher. Kept the class interesting. Will let you do papers over again if you get a bod grade on them.
She was a great teacher. Very helpful, and explains alot, but not in a lame or boring way. Pay attention and do homework and you'll pass with flying colors
At first, she seems to be a cool teacher, but I became unclear on her teaching meathod. Did all the homework, tests, literature, and still did not please her. She grades however she sees fit and really has no class outlining or syllabus.
This professor is ALWAYS willing to help you and understand the work. She is creative and easy-going. Very non judgmental and totally unimtimidating! She tries to make everyone feel welcome in her class and she is nice enough that you can be yourself and ask any questions you would like. I totally recommend her! I know my friend did!
Mrs. Solis is an amazing teacher. She is really good at explaining things. She is a very smart woman. She incorporates Art into English which makes it interesting. She assigns reading a couple novels and a lot of short stories. Writing papers and essays are a big thing for her as well. Her class is fun and educating. I would highly recommend her.
this teacher is VERY spiteful. she was horrible to me after i had gallbladder surgery and reused to return my calls and emails so i could explain what happened and why i was missing class. she even went so far is to telling classmates i was faking my illness! very rude! class was ran terrible and she played favorites with older students!
worst teacher ever!!!!
at a loss for words just plan out terrible!!! rude, spiteful, ill mannered, just a straight you know what. i did all her work and it still wasn't enough do even brother unless your ready to kiss major ass and suck up!
I really enjoyed this class. Ms. Solis was very helpful to me once I took the initiative to ask for help. She is very thorough when grading your papers. I learned a lot.
Ms. Solis is quite possibly one of the worst teachers at VVC. Doesn't grade homework, doesn't follow the lesson plan. Changes her mind about assingments. I don't mean to be mean because I passed in her class but I did not learn one thing about English. What I did learn is listen to you're instincts and get out while you can.
I'm not really sure what everyone is talking about because she is really nice and the class was fun..but her grading is all messed up. Lots of old literature..you'll get marked down for good work on subjective things for God knows what reason..good class, but be prepared for a drop in your GPA
Warning: do not take her class!!! VERY subjective teacher! She askes you to buy textbooks that you'll never use! Asks for assignments that she never grades! Very unorganized!She won't even give you a syllabus with due dates or assignments. Gardes on a whim. Caution!!!
Amazing teacher! Very outgoing and makes her class fun. She uses current events to aid in examples. If your not fond of English, take her and she will change your opinion for sure! Pay attention, attend class, and stay on top of your assignments and you'll do great!
Worst teacher ever! She mixed up my grades three times lucky me I kept all my papers to show my grades. She is very unorganized. I am a good writer and have never gotten a C till now. I still feel she mixed my grade with someone else. That someone esle has my A.
Very unorganized. She uses a lot of subjective criticism, not a very clear teacher.
she is a very hard proffeser
This teacher is very unorganized! Do not I repeat do not take her she lacks on the teaching part because I did not learn one bit in her class. I was always stressed about her assignments that she did not even grade. She always changes everything I was confused in there and as of now I feel as if I'm failing. She does not make sense what so ever...
She rips essays up but there's only a few. She also takes forever to grade. There's like 3 groupworks and 75% of the works assigned are only discussed. Something unfair is the 10 min presentation at the end that was exchanged for a paper was graded unfairly. People who actually did the whole thing got similar or lower grades to those who didn't.
Great persona, really cares about her students. She is a hard grader. When she grades essay she marks them all up, which even though it looks bad, it helped me because i was able to see what she wanted.I lost the motivation of attending her class it started out good, as spring went by i felt i wasn't learning anything.
I enjoyed having her. The textbook was used more towards the end of the semester but it was definitely helpful. She wants you to succeed and will help you do so. Overall i had a good experience.
She loves literature adn knows all about it. I tried hard but read little and I did not do good.
Mrs. Solis's class was ok. She is really confusing sometimes on what the homework is. But if she gives you a book she makes you read it. But I was upset with my grade.I got a C but in all the papers I received I got B's or A's. I believe she messed up with my grade.
She urks my nerves she's irritating she yelled at me for no reason in front of people she's to sarcastic I recommend no one to take her and she grades super hard
Took class online; sadly teacher can't run blackboard at all!Assignments don't show up; or link for downloading it didn't work; or it would be there one day but not the next.She would get mad because I would email her class/home work & didn't submit through blackboard. Tried going to her in person & that was a joke as well; was "too busy to talk"
There are two classes that I have taken, that were the worst courses I have had in my life. This is one of them, along with Journalism 108 with John Cromshow. Save yourself. If you have to take her, its not impossible to pass, just be mentally prepared, stay strong and muscle though it.
Overall, I would not recommend this class. It usually takes her a long time (1-2 1/2 mo.) to grade anything and she is very particular. She also takes a while to respond to emails and is not very helpful (she refused to look at a paper saying that it was "not a low grade"). Large work loads and unreal expectations.
She demonstrates a profound passion for literature! That being said, she has absolutely no structure whatsoever for the class. Assignments turned in are not returned and will not tell you your grade in the class. There is plenty of reading and discussions which were what made the class bearable, so make time for the class and you'll be fine.
She is an Amazing teacher!! She is very helpful when asked any questions. Her class isn't a easy A. You have to put in lot's of wok, but her class was fun. I enjoyed the topics we wrote about and all the discussions in all. I took her for both 50 and 101. I am looking forward to taking her for 104. Amazing English Professor!
I was very unsatisfied , if you are not strong in english she is not the professor you want. she takes months to grade assignments , she is very objective and if she doesn't like you then pray you get a good grade, her online class is unorganized and confusing and she is very rude when responding to questions in emails.
Solis was unorganized. That is being polite. Midway through semester had us buy a different book on a whim. Doesn't follow her syllabus. I think how she ran class week to week was just as much of a surprise to her as it was to us. I have to retake this course & I know she made mistakes on my grading but was too stubborn to review my paperwork.
She was awesome.
Not an easy class. Stories and novels required to read were highly interesting. She gives a lot of helpful information when it comes to writing papers. If you put effort into the class you will definitely receive more back.
Her and her husband are horrible. They're both rude, and not instructors at all. Rather judgmental people towards their students. Only concerned about making money and could care less about their students and enjoys seeing their students suffer. They're not teachers, just evil people. Not lying either.
One of the most unorganized professor I have ever taken. You will not know your grade since she never updates grade book. Rarely followed syllabus. Assignments are not hard, it's getting them back that is the problem. She lost our paper that was going to be extra credit for the class so she decided not to give extra credit after all.
First time taking this professor but I really enjoyed her discussions and her choices for readings. Kind of slow about getting work back to you but she literally teaches like 10 other English classes. Taking her again for fall.
Took her online English 101 class. Not very hard, but she's a stickler for late work so beware. I'd take again.
I took her English 50 online. She is a great teacher!She answered all my emails within minutes and there were a lot of them. She explained everything very well. I went to campus for my exam and she let me take a small break and stretch. She explained every assignment down to the detail. I was not looking forward to English but prof. Solis was great
I took the ENG 50 class online and everything started out okay. However, the online website she manages is very unorganized and it is very easy to lose track of what is an assignment or what is a lecture/practice. She refuses to accept any late work even if it is late due to her own poorly managed class website. Beware of this one folks.
The class that was taken was english 50. She is kind of nice at least, never really responded to my calls, emails or questions. My biggest concern is that she lost assignments that I turned in before the due date.. but they were submitted through blackboard!!! If you like headaches and decreasing your life span, feel free to take this class.
While she had interesting content, she's not very clear on what she wants when it comes to writing. I received decent grades. However, there were some assignments she graded pretty hard. Tough grader. I wouldn't mind so much if the website was better organized. I took this class online. Disclaimer: Pay attention to every little detail possible.
She's really unorganized. Knows what she's doing but doesn't have it all together. Didn't receive syllabus at all for the whole semester although she promised one. She doesn't grade anything but watch out if you miss class she'll notice and drop you even with the inability to provide a syllabus. I couldn't do it.
Very unorganized Teacher. Her site is unorganized and she is unorganized. Her testing site sometimes fails and does not record your test. She loses assignments and even if you send her. proof that your turned in an assignment she will not give you credit for it. If you need an English credit I don't recommend you take her online class.
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! This professor! The material required to read is very interesting and she is very engaged with her students. There were class worksheets everyday in regard the new material & usually could take home to finish. Solis is very leaning towards her students &definitely cares about her students comprehension. Would definitely recommend.
As a person Solis is an amazing woman, as a professor not so much. There is only a month left of school and so far we dont know our current grade. TAKES FOREVER to grade, graded on VERY few things. Not to clear abt what she wants for her stuff. If you dont have to take her DONT. Knows her stuff i will say but not clear abt the stuff.
Took her again for a second time because I need Engl 102 to transfer. I don't know what I was thinking, every time I have had a horrible experience with her. She is very unorganized with the assignments, and she never grades anything on time so its really questionable wether or not you are passing all the time. Ended up taking the W.
Sometimes gives you a bothered look when you ask her for help. Doesn't care if you pass or not. Always do your homework (40%) Or (50%) part of your grade. One thing I could say that's good about her is that she goes over (corrects)every students work to show you what you need to work on. Her tests are simple most of them are paragraph. Hard grader.
She is very unorganized! Have not received majority of work completed, hopefully work is not lost. Tough grader, quizzes taken in the classroom with a time limit yet she's still very strict about grammar and takes points off for every mistake. Most lectures were pointless,didn't pertain to our class then she rushes to give info at the last minute.
Ms. Solis was a tough grader, but it only made me a better writer! She does give out a load of work at times but it the end it all balances out if you do poorly. Shes an awesome professor and has a lot going on, but if you do the work you will pass. Its a lot of work but its only busy work.
Solis is awful. Shes unorganized and I felt like every time Id ask her something shed judge me in her mind. I thought she was going to be cool. Although I read these reviews saying it before taking her class, it was what worked with my schedule. I failed so I have to take an English 102 course again. Trust me, definitely not taking it with her!
One of the projects was analyzing a painting... I started wondering if this was an English class or painting class... Not to mention I emailed several times for clarification with no reply. What's interesting is her own grammar is not that great and she does not base work on the book we had to buy... Whish I would have gotten a different teacher.
The way that Solis sets up Blackboard is just utterly confusing. There is stuff all over the place. Here a link, there a link, everywhere a link link .... She is an extremely hard grader. She provides feedback but sometimes it has nothing to do with what the assignment is. Word of advice... take her on-campus, maybe then it will be manageable.
This teacher is straight up ridiculous I knew I should've back out of this class when I had the chance but I need the class and wanted to get it over with, biggest mistake ever!!! The way she grades is just beyond stupid for a littler error she marks down so much points instead of like one or two points. If you need a sign DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!
i got a C in her class, she is kinda weird sometimes, but it must be normal cause she is kinda old, the class was okay, not funny at all
I'm currently failing because she takes forever to grade. Her online lectures make no sense and have nothing to do with the assignments we have. She hardly ever answers her emails, so there's really no point in trying to email her for clarification on an assignment.
the class could use improvement. There were a lot of assignments that were not turned in and papers that were turned in, you never got a grade back on. class seemed to be a lot of waste of time.
Do not take this professor. She picks who she likes and gives them a better grade. If she does not like you she will never give your work back. Therefore you do not know what your grade for that class is. Essays are not hard, but like I said she picks who she likes. Class was very boring and long. Youre required to buy a book you will never use.
She isnt a professional teacher, she didnt give clear instructions for the assignments, unfair in her feedback because she was extremely critical, assignments were due at 5:00 pm, and she didnt care if you had to work, no extra credits and her assignments were messy and unprofessional. I dont recommend this professor at all. My opinion counts.
This professor wont grade you with fairness because your opinion wont matter. If you are writing an essay, you have to think like her to be able to pass the class, otherwise you wont pass.
Horrible grader, my previous english classes, I had left with an A and a B thinking I was a fairly decent writer. However, being in her class I quickly realized that she is overly tough and marks down a ton of points for such minuscule errors. Would not recommend, fortunately I was able to drop the class in time before my grade plummeted.
Judy Solis will leave "assignments" under the assignments tab but then declare they aren't assignments, all of her assignments were under announcements. She takes forever to grade anything so once you finally hear back on what you did wrong on the last paper, you've already had to turn in like 2 more. She's super strict and I DON'T recommend!!!
Solis is by far the hardest English professor on campus. Her quizzes are difficult as majority of the questions make no sense. When the directions say "in your own opinion", it does not matter. She takes away credit for minor mistakes that are unintentional. Everyone makes mistakes, but it seems that perfection is key to pass this class.
Shes an amazing woman and she gives you good things to read but her grading is HARD she literally grades you on every little detail.
if you are looking for a class with a teacher that actually cares about you and your understanding of the class then this is NOT the class for you!! This teacher is a joke she will assign work all semester and does not accept late work, however, she will not grade a single one of your assignments until the end of the semester unsure of final grade
Terrible teacher! She will not answer any questions you have, and if she does she's so rude about it! The semester has just ended and there still 9 assignments I turned in she hasn't even graded yet, 1 from March 28. Will take away 2 points for every misplaced comma, and if you answer the questions directly its still not good enough for even a C
This teacher is the worst. She is not nice when it comes to grading, she does not reply to messages, she is too perfectionist when it comes to work, I definately would not take her again and would not recommend at "ALL"
To be honest this class is wasted of time and she gives lot of homework and she dont make senes when it come to homework . dont take this clsss you will be mad
I was nervous about going into this class based on her reviews, however, she ended up being a very reasonable teacher. Although she does give quite a bit of homework, she really does care about her students and will give you the feedback you ask for. She only makes he class difficult to ensure that her students learn as much as possible.
This professor does not have a clear grading rubric, you are left guessing what she wants you to do. takes upwards of 4 weeks to grade anything & leaves confusing comments w/ unclear abbreviations to guide you. Biggest problem I had was telling me not to go off topic, but docking points from papers for not going off topic to detail other plots.
I would not recommend this professor if you are hoping to get back grade quickly. If you plan on passing this class , you better know what youre doing because she doesnt give you much feedback bc of her late grading. She misinterprets things fairly easy which makes it hard for you to contact her, I wouldnt recommend her if you need extra help
She is too confusing. She writes too much. If she is going to write so much she should explain herself better.
Professor has difficulty conveying clear expectations. Her grading scale never reflected what the assignments called for. She is difficult to receive a decent grade. Would not recommend taking her class if you are looking to learn and progress. Shes rude and graded the entire class with extremely low grades.
SHE WAS TERRIBLE. SHE LET ME DO OUR PAPER ON ABORTION AND SHE DIDNT AGREE ANS GAVE ME AN F IT WAS OUR FINAL AS WELL. NEVER TAKE HER SHES SO RUDE AND DOESNT ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS
Simply awful. Do NOT take this class with professor Solis. She is the most unclear professor. All of her course material (lectures/assignments/exams) are difficult to understand while including occasional typos in areas of important instruction. No helpful feedback. No communication. Extremely tough, RUDE, and unclear grader. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR!!
I'm convinced that Judy Solis doesn't understand the point of literature. Her grading criteria saw B's turn to Fs over lousy, objective opinions and let's not even get into her late-work policy. Hopefully you don't work, because she doesn't care; she'll refuse completed work 5 minutes after the deadline. Never take her class. Ever.
Unorganized. Not helpful. Threw a tizzy & hysterically started yelling in class when a student review pointed out her shortcomings. It takes months to get papers back. Don't waste your $$ on the book- you won't use it. She constantly changes lesson plans with no notice, no late work. She also grades you on her opinion, not if you've done it right.
Solis will take points off your assignments for MINOR mistakes. And she'll take so long to grade anything, that it's too late for you to fix anything and you have to watch your grade fall from an A to F in one day. She's rude and unclear in what she expects from you. My advice: Save yourself the panic attacks and avoid this professor. Waste of time
Prof. Solis is by far hardest prof Ive taken. She is confusing in what she writes. Does not help critiques your work for the smallest things. She threw a fit in the class one day when we were taking an exam, saying how she doesnt respect students who talk to her wrongly and went after everyone for it��
The emails she sent out to the class were passive aggressive and she was unlocking the assignment the same day it was due. you only have a few hours to read hours worth of work and take a test right after. Def a stressful class.
Do not take her. I am warning you. She has a bad temper, and she probably only replied to 10% of my messages to her.
She will literally give you ONE week to read a whole novel. We had 3 novels and multiple plays and short stories to read. The books themselves were good but we did not have enough time to actually read, understand, and enjoy them. The tests are insane. You have one class period to basically write a whole essay from memory. Do not take her.
So this professor assigns more work than shes willing to grade considering they will sit ungraded for 3 months before she even begins to do it, will not answer emails, shes rude and very unclear. She also changed the entire syllabus halfway through the semester and told no one until we had to buy another book (#4).
DO NOT TAKE HER NO MATTER WHAT she will not grade any of your work until the last minute. she excepts nothing late no matter what the circumstances are. even if it is a technical issue. discussions are mandatory but will not count for a grade. offers no makeups no extra credit. Will nit pick your writing. Dock me points for use of the word thing.
Before taking this class, I was really scared because of all the bad reviews she got, but she really isnt as bad as people make her seem. All I can really say is, if youre looking for an easy A, dont take this professor.
The material that she gives is not hard, it's just the fact that she is a tough grader and takes away points for simple mistakes. She also takes a long time to grade assignments, so the majority of the assignments won't be graded until the end of the semester. If you are looking for an easy A don't take her.
Do not take this class, she will open up assignments 1 day before due. critical grader knocks points for the dumbest reasons. she will not grade until weeks later. she does not respond to emails.
Probably the worst professor I have ever had. Has lots of complaints that work wasn't done right but doesn't want to explain it clearly to the students. DON'T SIGN FOR HER CLASS IF YOU WANT A GOOD GRADE because she won't give it to you unless you're a professional writer.
She does random times on her assignments and no matter what she will not work with you. She is a really tough grader and gave confusing assignments that had me stressing out to the point where I had a panic attack. She would also put the reading first and then on like Thursday put the assignments on and it be due around Sundays or Saturdays.
Very hard class and is very specific on grading assignments. To my experience no one has gotten a 100 on any assignments and is very strict grader and does not allow late assignments or any missing assignments. One of the hardest and strictest teacher I've ever taken, if you're taking the class make sure to read the instructions clearly.
So, I will preface by saying I am a completely online due to my full time job. I turned my assignments in on time, and did well. However, the prof did an extremely poor job of grading assignments on time, communication with the class, and being well.. an invested prof. Sort of disappointed, but she seems checked out. Do not recommend.
I don't recommend taking this class if you work or have other responsibilities. First, I had to remind her to grade my work, with two weeks left of the semester and she randomly assigns work whenever. Also, the whole point of taking online classes is for convenience. She opened a test for only 16 hours and I had to cancel my shift to take it.
Not very clear on what needs to be done.
I took her class and she would not accept that the Canvas app made a mistake with my file and only uploaded half the file. She gave me a bad grade anyway. She leaves no room error even thought I was not late to turn in my work. She decided to stop responding to me instead of trying to find a solution. I would not recommend taking her class.
All throughout high school English had been my favorite subject and Professor Solis made me hate it. You have very short time periods to turn in your assignments. Her grading is harsh. Her modules are disorganized and confusing, and she is just an overall cold person.
Professor Solis only grades you on your writing, she doesn't give you, your percentage in the class. will tell you that you'll pass her class but, in the end will fail you. I would not take her class ever again. I DO NOT recommend her class.
I understand that many might think she is difficult but you just have to put in the work she always gives feed back and always wants the best form you.Her assignments and quizzes were very easy if you read and pay attention.On thing is that you have to turn everything on time.She was very nice and rounded my grade up and I enjoyed taking her class!
Reached out to her more than once and she has never gotten back to me. I am not sure what her grading process is, it makes zero sense. Her assignments are confusing and instructions are vague. By far the worst course I have taken at VVC, she is the least helpful prof. I have ever had.
From the teacher's point of view, I had to take my class again and when I did, what I learned was completely different. She doesn't teach well and he doesn't care. She wants you to be a professional in her class, if you don't know how to do it, that's your problem. Please, get another teacher and it will only ruin your GPA to be in this class.
Professor Solis runs a challenging but rewarding class. The grading can be tough, but engaging with the material and using resources like unstuck study for study prep really helps. Expect a heavy workload, but if you put in the effort, you can succeed.
Fails to communicate when you need help. Very tough grader. The workload isnt bad, its just that her instructions arent clear. I would not take her class again. I really gave this course my all and it wasn't enough.
