Only reason I didn't fail this class was cuz of the textbook. Going to her lectures were useless. A lot of ppl do like her, but I just wasn't a fan.

She is pretty hard to reach outside of the classroom and just gives off an arrogant vibe. Not a fan.

She's a really good lecturer. The people who say bad things about her dont show up to lecture. You shouldn't be leaving any lectures confused, she explains everything really well.

She doesn't respond to emails and her lectures are quite confusing. She goes through the material so fast and if you didn't take gen bio at Rutgers (I didn't), it is quite a difficult class. Keep in mind that all of her positive ratings were from when her class was online.

Comment:
She gets so offended when students stop showing to lecture and called out the entire class for not asking questions when she was clearly speeding through the slides which leave students clueless oftentimes. She was also not the kindest in grading. Overrated, do not take her unless you have no choice.

Comment:
Soliman is not an effective lecturer. Her lectures are disorganized and rushed, it's nearly impossible to keep up when writing notes. Her notes also tend to be unclear so gaps need to be filled in via textbook. She is fairly difficult to reach outside of class.

Comment:
Shes first of all not good at teaching. She is very disorganized in her delivery of the lecture and rambles a lot. Also she makes her exams harder than need be compared to the other genetics professor. You have to practically know everything like the back of your hand.

Comment:
Professor Soliman is a wonderful professor who truly cares about her students. She explains concepts very clearly and is more than willing to clarify any concerns through email or during her office hours. The class is well organized and exams are very reasonable. Definitely attend her office hours if you can, she gives lots of great pointers.

Comment:
Great lecturer for the most part, but it can get a bit dry sometimes bc her slides can be wordy. She's very organized and posts a weekly to-do list for us to stay on track. She also genuinely cares about her students. Would be a great professor to get a LOR.

Comment:
Professor Soliman is overrated and does not answer questions in her emails; you have to wait until office hours where she may or may not even get to your question because she can spend up to 30 minutes answering one student's email question. Her lectures and notes are contradictory and confusing, and her lectures are incredibly long and boring.

She is a good professor. She is nice and cares about her students. She is very clear about grading criteria and what she wants students to know. Her lectures can be a little boring at times. Her homework and exams are fairly easy and the questions are always on material that has been covered in class.

Awesome professor! She is clear and really has a way with words. I love that she's straightforward about expectations from the get-go. Her exams are representative of the lectures (not easy but completely doable). Just take good notes, show up to recitation (very helpful!!), study well, and you'll do fine. She's a gem.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Soliman. She is one of the most amazing, caring, and involved professors I've ever had at Rutgers. Do yourself a favor and take her class; you will learn so much and actually enjoy the material. This is not an "easy A", and she makes you work for your grade, but in the end you will have learned so much. Gem

LITERALLY! the best professor I ever had. The only reason im not getting an A is because I was so busy with my other classes that I didnt focus on this one. I watched the lecture videos once and thats it. I couldve gotten an A if I had studied for 1 day. She makes learning so easy to understands. 40% is from hw and quizzes which is an easy 100

Professor Soliman is one the best professors I have ever had, great lecturer. Homework is extremely manageable and graded for completion, easy 100. The in class questions on TopHat are super easy, you can use people around you. Make flashcards to retain information and prepare well, and you can definitely get an A like me

Comment:
Dr. Soliman was a very good professor in hindsight. The class was very lecture and information heavy. I took this in Spring 2020 of freshman year so I had to figure out how to balance my time, but the good quality of the lectures made it easier to take in all the information. There's lecture questions, recitation questions, and extra textbook ?s.

Amazingly dedicated and knowledgeable professor whose genuine dedication to students makes a rigorous course manageable. Dr. Soliman breaks down and presents the material in such a way that makes each concept interesting and easy to digest for someone from a non-science background. If you do the homework and study, you should do well

Comment:
Horrible professor who could care less about an ongoing pandemic and how it impacts the students. She refuses to round up on percent grades during a hard time of switching to online and made 0 attempts in making the transition easier unlike many other professors. In short she just lacks compassion and doesnt care about her students or their life.
