Fell behind the outline he's put. Rushed through a few chapters. Don't recommend

It's really difficult to understand his lectures because of his strong accent. attendance is mandatory. gives one small break. no cell phones, no personal computers allowed. really do not recommend.

This was my first online course, instructions for all assignments, discussions, and quizzes, as well as slides were put onto blackboard for students to use. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Professor Walpola also gave many opportunities to increase your grade in the course if you messed up once.

Dr Malaka is one of the few great profs at ufv, he is passionate about what he does, always supports students. Final exam was a bit similar to the midterm, the book and notes are efficient to get a good grade in the class.

Took his class before the COVID-19 pandemic. Malaka was a very caring professor. He wants his students to succeed. He allowed me to retake some of his quizzes. There were group labs in this course so be prepared to partner up with someone (when on-campus learning starts again). Lectures were okay. He allowed a cheat sheet for the exam.

He's one of those teachers who just reads slides from the textbook without providing much insight on how the information can be used in the workplace. He's very boring and speaks quietly; sometimes his instructions are unclear. Read the textbook/slides to pass, cause his final will have questions about topics he only slightly talked about.

I took comp 251 with him. Walpola cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. He frequently checks in with the class to make sure they understand, and will go over it again if they don't. He could move a little quicker in class, as we were behind a bit. Lots of homework, but he marks fairly. Would definitely take again

He is a good professor for the course. He understands every question you answer and isnt a tough grader. He only teaches from Power Point Presentation. But you will understand it very well, if you pay attention in his class.
