Reviews of professor Adam Malka

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Your result in this class depends solely on your TA's. My TA was incredibly mean, making our weekly discussions unbearable. I have multiple friends having an easy time in their history classes, while I devote the same time toward this class as I do to my 4000 Major classes as a junior. Class is way harder than it needs to be.

Dr. Malka lectured through some of the best naps I've ever had in my life. His voice is so soothing and makes it so easy to sleep. still got the A

Attendance is mandatory and you are graded on participation too. There are two papers, a final, and a weekly discussion board. He was strict on grading all of them. His lectures weren't boring, but be prepared to type a lot during them. I probably wouldn't take his class again.

Nice lectures, quiz question after every one using a code so attendance is mandatory, overall cool class, he teaches really well.

I really enjoyed Dr. Malka's lectures. He started right on time and ended exactly on time. You do get points for attendance, but can miss if need be. He gives you access to slide and an outline that are really helpful. I do recommend going to class because his lectures add extra details that can be useful for papers or exams.

Dr. Malka is a great professor and really makes you interested in the material you're learning. I wasn't incredibly interested in the class before I took it but his lectures are great. Attendance for lecture and discussion sections are graded. Other than that, there are 3 papers that make up most of your grade. He has clear grading criteria on them

You know how some history classes could be -and are- replaced with documentaries? You can't do that with Dr. Malka, his lectures are deep and every one taught me not just something new, but often new way at looking at history; and I think I know a thing or two about pre-1865 history. 2/3rd of the grade essay based, not fun but normal.
