Reviews of professor Adam Malka

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Just like the other reviews, the TA's make this class much worse. Malka is a nice guy and the lectures are entertaining, but that means nothing. You don't communicate with him in any way. Everything is through the TAs. Other people with other professors enjoy this class, but the mean TA's and excessive reading really destroyed my love for history.

The class is pretty chill, the lectures are a bit boring, but he tries to make it fun. Attendance does matter so show up even if youre not gonna listen. The TAs are the real issue. You surely wont fail though because there are like 2 papers, a midterm, and a final. It is a pretty easy A, not very time consuming!

I enjoyed him as a teacher, and thought his lectures were interesting. The overly difficult midterm and final made me wish I took another teacher. Most other professors allow notes for the exams, but I had to study more for this class than any other. I would recommend someone else.

Malka's a good lecturer, but he is difficult to keep up with when taking notes. There is little extra credit so every grade counts, and attendance isn't required but there are 4 point attendance quizzes. Exams are just essays which is annoying but expected & is probably a standard throughout all HIST 1483 sections. TAs determine your whole grade.
