This guy is terrible. I think he is a very intelligent man but does not know how to explain concepts to his students. Online homework takes 3+ hours to complete because he doesn't explain how to do any of the problems. When you ask him questions about problems he response with strange, untrelated questions like "Where is your name tag?" AVOID HIM!

Dr. Solano is easily the best professor i have ever had in my life. I went into business stats scared out of my mind thinking that it was going to be unbearably hard. Just goes to show what a good professor that can actually teach can do. 10/10. Out of my 18 credits this is my best graded class. GET THIS MAN A RAISE!
