He puts an incredible amount of time into his class preperation. I failed his class but it was MY FAULT because I didn't do the projects in lab, so when I took the test I bombed. Do the assignments and you will do fine. I plan to take him again.

Solis is a superb instructor because explains more than just the code and encourages students to master the planning stage before "hard-coding." If you do not have prior experience w/object-oriented languages, CSIS 190 will be VERY HARD because the projects take a lot of grueling hours to debug through. Our class created an emulator for PacMan.

Ive taken many classes from Solis in order to transfer as a CS Major, and he is by far my favorite professor at Citrus. He provides amazing video lectures and ensures that you have a fundamental understanding of the topics being covered. He even goes so far as to provide information on internship programs provided to him by his former students.

I have taken CS111, and CS225 with Prof. Robert online. And I've taken CS232 and CS242 with Prof. Robert in-person. After three years in college, I can definitely say that this is the best professor I have ever seen. He's so friendly and he really cares about teaching students and making sure they understand the material. Definitely recommend him!

Class is easy enough to pass no problem but it's clear we are skipping a lot of material and not being prepared as well as we could be for the future. He does all assembly coding in intel syntax and visual studio IDE but the book uses AT&T syntax and a different IDE so the book is pretty much useless. Better use YouTube if you take online class.

Professor Solis is a fantastic teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed his class and his lectures both online and in person. His class is not textbook-heavy, but you will need some textbook definitions for quizzes and tests. Most of these definitions you can figure out or learn by watching his lectures but having the textbook makes it more accessible.

I took CS111 as an async summer class. Required an attendance check be done each Monday, but besides that it's self-paced, as long as you complete each week's work by the end of the week. Learned a lot about the importance of CS, but there were lots of lecture videos and labs to do. Grades were measured by a couple tests/exams and frequent quizzes.

Professor Solis was the professor who got me into Computer Science. His lectures were great and informative. He always offers feedback, and I believe he truly wants to help his students. He's someone who is very willing to connect with his students and helps you learn a lot about the Computer Science field.

Prof. Solis's dynamic teaching in 242 and 232 courses revived my passion for CS. He excels in making complex topics accessible and shows genuine care for student success. His engaging lectures and readiness to answer questions are amazing. A must for any CS student! I highly recommend him.

second class with him. he's one of the good ones who truly cares about you. if your a stem girl starting out (and in general someone who hasn't done a lick of coding or even know what a structure is), don't be afraid. you will struggle, but you will learn, and he will hold your hand through it all until you can manage. he wants you to succeed.

He is an amazing professor. I had never taken a CS course before but his lectures/videos explained things in a simple way. He has daily quizzes which are 2 questions and other quizzes that are part of the module (all of his exam questions are from quizzes). Unlimited tries on quizzes but only 2 attempts on exams.

Robert is really good at teaching programming and design in this intro class, but what he does not teach is the basics and fundamentals of computer science, so be aware of that. If you want to learn about that -which you should- then you will have to buy and actually read the textbook. Other than that his videos are great, he makes it easy.

One of the kindest professor. However, the easiness of the course makes it difficult to commit to the course, so be sure to watch his lectures. In Professor Solis's videos, he breaks down concepts easily and is always ready to help you. Take his course if you want to learn a lot and get a supportive environment!

Professor Solis has been amazing so far. He has tons of lecture videos to help out with the course material. As someone who is very new to CS, his class had helped me build the basic fundamentals for programming. I would definitely recommend anyone who is new to the CS major to come and take Solis.

I've had Professor Solis for multiple classes and while his online portions can somewhat feel boring since you have the ability to rewatch the lecture at your own leisure and only need to be there for the pop quizzes, don't be discouraged by the high point counts of his assignments. His in-person segments are arguably the more important ones.
