Reviews of professor Natalie Malak

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
You can do well in the class, but don't believe her that the class is easy. I think the biggest problem one would have is to think this class is easy at the start of semester because of the grading scale and lack of homework. You might think this class will be a breeze so you won't focus as much on it in the beginning if so, you will fall behind.

Dr. Malak's class is easy as long as you show up and give like 80% effort. Classes are very structured and hw graded on effort not content. The class itself can be a bit math heavy, but she will tell you exactly how to do it. Grade scaling is very lenient. 80-100 is an A, then a letter grade for every 10%. I made a B despite making 50% on my final.

Dr. Malak does a very good job of demonstrating the concepts in class, but you have to ensure that you are focused on each one because the textbook/slides are nothing like the notes from in class, and it is hard to find resources outside of the classroom. You essentially do one module per week with them all being wrapped together in one last exam

Class is only a powerpoint and a useless video, don't go together. PP teaches very basics,filled with barely any info that helps you on the quizzes. She doesn't teach hardly anything. Exams lockdown w/cam. As a 4.0 student this professor ruined me. Syllabus had passive agro comments & missing grading scale. Take another prof you'll regret this one

Cares very little about her students and their success. If you have any problem with an assignment or have hard time understanding something she expects you to show up to a tutoring session to get help from a teaching assistant. Absolutely no makeup credit even if you had a medical emergency and did the work you get no credit.

Dr. Malak is an embarrassment to the University of Alabama in Huntsville and higher education itself. She makes no effort to teach 626, and the content of her course is EXACTLY the same as ECN 345. Very disappointed.

Mostly PowerPoint learning. Can be long, but lots of graphs included. Every week- PowerPoint, 5 min. video, HW problems that aren't graded, open notes quiz. Three tests total- lockdown and webcam. The final is not comprehensive. As long as you do the PowerPoints, you will do good on the tests. 80 is an A. I would take her again!
