Good professor, nice... not really challenging. He is very thorough and gives lots of examples. Study guides are exactly like the test: change a few numbers, maybe make a few problems a tad harder. Easy A if you do the minimal online hw and study a little. I was not challenged so I probably won't take him, but if you want an easy class, take him.

4 tests the whole semester. Lots of webassign homework. He teaches at a comfortable pace and will answer questions. 2nd test is right at add/drop without penalty so you gotta be committed at that point. Easy if you've already done Calc 2 stuff. If not, you may find the subject to be hard but the professor very helpful. I would recommend him 100%.

Malluck is awesome, but Calc 2 is a class where you have to work really hard to get a good grade. The first two units are easy compared to the third, however there is a final which can replace your lowest test grade. Even though attendance is not mandatory, coming to class helps as he teaches everything without using the book.

only grades in the class are homework & the 4 tests, he dosen't give extra credit or drop lowest test score. He mumbles so you cant hear him from the 3rd row & back. I felt that he had been teaching so long that he was just showing up for the check because he's never prepared for class. Practice test, class notes,& homework, wont prepare u 4 tests

Prof. Malluck is amazing. I got 100 in the first two test and 96 in my third test. His class is much easier than my honor pre calculus in high school. His homework is not bad at all. He always available in his office hours. He wrote the formula on the board on the test day.

Professor Malluck was amazing! Makes Calc 2 easy! He is always available for help outside of class, but dedicates the first portion of class to answering questions. If you do the homework and take notes you will get an A.

I've taken Malluck before for Pre-Cal and this is my second time taking him. There are only a total of 4 tests including homework. There was no extra credit opportunities. The tests questions were harder than the lecture problems. He too also did not reply to my emails. I guess it's ok for the class test average to be in the 60's to him.

Homework are on webassign and harder than exams. So practice those and you're pretty much going to pass the class. 4 exams, and the final exam only helps you by replacing a failing grade. He also goes over the homework in class, so I recommend you attend.

Malluck is a really good guy and professor. He is very lenient and understanding of people's problems. Pretty decent at explaining things. Has 3 tests and an optional Final exam that replaces your lowest test grade, and webassign hw with unlimited attempts. Just know that Calc2 is going to be difficult no matter which prof you take.

Couldn't understand him because of the mumbling. Another one of those 4 test classes so don't bomb one if you want an A. If you don't already have a decent grasp on calculus already I wouldn't take him.

Context - freshman who got a 5 on AB Calc and exempted calc 1. I skipped so much of this class- mistake- but on his tests he literally attaches a theoretical formula sheet; he really wants you to pass. Very nice guy, literally does the webassign homework in class for you. (hw also has unlimited attempts and will give the answer, free 100 pts)

Professor John is the goat. His class grading is 3 tests worth 100 points each and hw worth 100 points. He gives all the hw answers which is basically a free 100 points. Take his class for calc 2, your gpa will thank you

3 Tests and an optional final that replaces lowest test grade. He is a very fair grader. Malluck is a great professor that teaches calc in a very understanding way that's beneficial to the students. He's very willing to help you understand the material. He starts every class with a review session. Calc 2 is Calc 2 but he has a great class structure

Show up to class everyday and do the homework for an easy A. 3 tests and an optional final. My favorite professor so far. A lot of people dropped out or failed an exam so that should tell you that you need to work hard.

Prof. Malluck was the first math professor I've had and he's great. He's a retired engineer so he really explained things in a way that made sense to me. There were 4 tests and homework which he gives you the answers to. The tests are the exact same as the practice exam but with different numbers. (5x instead of 3x etc.) Take him, you'll love it.

Really cool dude, had the option to skip the final If you made an A in the class. All you have to do is complete the hw on Aleks and just show up to class and do the worksheet and its an easy A. The test are usually just old hw question so if you do the hw the test are a breeze.

A great guy and teacher--his lectures make a difficult subject a lot easier to understand, and he takes the time to work through anything a student is struggling with. His practice tests are great and are close to the actual exam, plus he will write important equations on the board to use during the test. Dude just wants you to understand and pass.
