I took this class as a miniterm with only about 16 classes to attend and a few were holidays. He is the bomb! He knows what hes taking about. Goes by powerpoints which then puts on a website for you to get. 4 quizzes(20 ?), midterm and final. EVERYTHING on ppt. AND let us use notes for mid/final! <3
He is very considerate because himself is a student so he understands us well. He is a great person and the class is not hard at all. He is cool and you'll prob relate yourself with him. 4 20 quest. quizzes, one midterm and one final which in our class are open notes (i dont think all are, i have a mini-term) and he actually took off a presentation
Good Guy Professor! I enjoy every minute while in his class. Go to class everyday, pay attention, and for love of god DON'T text.
VERY down to earth guy. Keeps it like it is & how it is. You won't be disapointed..GUARANTEE. Just don't be a slack off.
AMAZING TEACHER! I received a D in the class,and I still think he's awesome.That class is really fun and he actually teaches you real history, unlike other teachers who leave a lot of facts out.The only reason I received a D was because all of my effort was going into other classes that required more work.He's great though,and you learn a lot!
Best history professor at MDC!!! He's super cool, funny and really knows his stuff. I hated history before, but now love it! He uses PowerPoint and video clips along with lectures, and his exams are easy (if you take notes). This is how ALL profs should be. Take his classes!!!
The Best!!! Prof M is extremely knowledgeable in many areas (background in history and international relations), entertaining and incredibly funny. Grading is fair and tests are a breeze if you pay attention and take notes. Topics are always relevant to real world - not just theories. Best prof at MDC hands down!
The best history professor ! Semper Fi
This professor is so much fun!! he knows what he is talking about. The class is by power points, no book needed. Test are supper easy if you take notes. good luck...
very easy class. Professor Malagon knows what he is talking about; we do not use the book just power points. the test are supper easy if you get all the important notes from the power points.. easy A
Awesome professor, helps out if you need anything and he gives you the answers to the tests and you can have cheat cheets during midterm and final. Extremely easy and interesting course so you learn for fun not because you have to! He's cool and has swag
this is by far the best teacher i have ever had, 3 quizes 20 q each and each online that you can do at home, one midterm and one final each a piece of cake. Summer term classes are longer but He is super funny and really cares about the students. the subject does get boring but come on its history lol i would take him again if i could!!!! :)
easy A. very relax prof. i dont like politics or history but he is just awesome!!! TAKE HIM
Easy if you go to class.
This guy was just awesome!!! He makes class fun,and you do learn a lot
Great Professor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He knows a lot. Very funny classes are very interesting. I loved this class. Easy A...TAKE HIM. You won't regret.
This is definitely a class anyone would enjoy taking. He makes it interesting and doesn't give you a hard time. It is Angel enhanced and he tells you everything straight to the point. Easy A just do all the quizzes and "study". You will not regret it!
Very informative professor and easy, entertaining class. No homework, just quizzes online. Provides you with the powerpoints used for lectures unless you have 3+ absences, so basically attendance is mandatory if you want the answers to the quizzes on hand. Definitely recommend
Professor Malagon is AMAZING. His class is very interesting and he is extremely knowledgable about the topics he lectures. He is very strict about attendance & restricts access to lectures after 3 absences. No cell phone use in his class. Do your self a favor and take his class. His assignments aren't difficult if you pay attention during lectures.
good professor. very easy class. he really knows the material. so elegant he's the most well dreess professor at mdc. all quizzes and midterm online, only the final in classes. he said the final is the same question of quizzes 3 & 4 but it isn't so don't copy the same questions make good notes form the ppt.
Amazing professor,he is really funny you will be entertained at all times. His quizzes are easy and those are the questions that will be used on midterm and final. He cares about the material and has fun ways of explaining situations. This class is an easy A. You do not need the book, his power point slides are enough. Attendance is mandatory.
Professor Malagon was amazing *He teaches the class with humor, so you can better understand the material*He is very personable with his students*I would definitely take him again for another history course.
Great professor and personable.
One of the best professors I've ever had, I love history and he made me love it even more. All quizzes online and lets you use your notes for the midterm and final. He can't make this class any easier. You have to literally not try AT ALL in order to fail. Very cool guy, he is hilarious and makes lectures fun and easy to absorb the information.
Great professor! Easy A. He gives 4 quizzes which are 20 questions each online and 2 exams 1 online and one in class. The exams are 50 questions and 4050 questions are the same questions from the quizzes and 10 new questions. YOU MUST ATTEND CLASS or he will lock you out from his pp lectures online. More than 3 absences and he will drop you ASAP
Prof. Malagon's Social Environment class is awesome! He holds advanced degrees in both History and National Security, so he is very knowledgeable in various disciplines, especially socio-historical processes. He encourages debate of complex or controversial issues, but you must back up statements with reputable data.
The class itself was very easy, worth taking for the A. That said, it's worth saying that you need to take what's taught to you with a grain of salt. This particular professor likes to teach his own personal world views as fact, which to a student just forming his or her own opinions is simply not balanced.
This professor is ok. Not the best professor Ive had but also not the worst. Took this class in summer and he wasted a lot of the time each class arguing with this one student and playing music. If he didnt waste all that time, the lectures would be done faster and we wouldnt spend the entire 3 HOURS in there. Besides that, the class is very ease
He is an awesome teacher. All the test are online(4 quizzes and midterm) and final is in class but can have HAND written notes with you. He is very clear with what you need to know. I'm glad i had the opportunity to be in his class.
Great professor! He's very clear with what he is teaching and is very knowledgeable as well. Attendance is mandatory, but the class is interesting regardless. We have 4 tests online & the final is in person with hand written notes. Needless to say, pay attention, come to class, get an A!
GREAT PROFESSOR! You will enjoy his class even if you don't like History. Prof. Malagon makes learning History fun. Attendance is mandatory but you won't dread going to his class he is hilarious. 4 quizzes online & 1 final in class. BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE HAD. To not pass his class you have to be BEYOND lazy. Recommend 110% ! TAKE HIM.
wow this professor changed my view on the subject, he knows how to keep the lectures interesting. I can saw he opened up my eyes with a lot thats going on in the world. This class be be passed by ANYONE, all you have to do is show up.
Incredible professor! Learned so much about the subject that I would have taken it even if I didn't receive credit. He's hilarious and very blunt. Show up to class and you'll get an easy A.
Professor Malagon's personality matched with his sense of style will leave you in awe. You'll walk out thinking "Did I just go through a history class or a comedy show?" The answer is a unique combination of both. His goal is for students to learn and that's exactly what you'll do in this class. You would have to TRY to get an F to receive one.
Where do I begin with this guy? He's one of the best professors I've taken at Dade. He's hilarious, very entertaining, and his lectures are fun and clear to understand! Book is not necessary but attendance is important! He will lock your access to the power points with more than 3 absences! Other than that, amazing class, amazing professor. TAKE!
Best professor ever!!
Professor Malagon is one of the best! He teaches you in a way that engages you and does not make it boring. He is very laid back but is still strict. I learned a lot from him!! don't skip class and you'll pass.
He's the best Professor ever all you have to do is show up and listen and write down the highlighted info on his powerpoints (he uploads them to blackboard) He tells stories,shows video's, jokes with students and He doesn't require you to know specific dates which is awesome. Very fun class I even found myself wishing it was longer by the end.
Prof. Malagon is amazing! I would take his class again without thinking about it. The lectures are just amazing , he is very knowledgeable and smart but his respect his students' opinions. Quizzes are online and very easy, Final exam is in class but the same questions of the online quizzes. ATTENDANCE MANDATORY.
The most enjoyable and productive course in years! Love this professor!
to put it in five words: The Best of The Best.
I loved him. The only negative thing i have to say about him is that he's a Libertarian and I am a strong Bernie Sanders supporter. Love anyways Professor Malagon. lol. No book required.
Amazing professor!!!!!!!!! He is a very nice person. His class is really interesting and easy to understand. Online quizzes and easy final!! TAKE HIM!! YOU WON'T REGREAT
Professor Malagon is probably the best professor Ive ever had the pleasure of taking at MDC. He gives amazing lectures and really makes you enjoy history. Would definitely recommend to any student!
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! The lectures are long but the tests are EASY! He lets you use notes on the final and the midterm you do at home! Seriously you will pass with flying colors!
Take him. Seriously. He's definitely one of the best professors at MDC. I've always hated history, but I enjoyed this class more than most of the other classes I've taken. He's a really amazing professor.
Amazing class very EASY..... I recommend him
Great lectures, but can get off topic sometimes. Very funny as long as you are adult enough to handle coarse language. If you come when you're supposed to, there is no excuses to fail this class.
He is someone that modern day millennials should try to be like. He really knows his stuff, and the guy is like James Brown level cool. He opened my eyes to things about real world political issues, and has helped me grow my political view. The tests are easy. If you miss 3 classes you cant use the power points. Hilarious guy. Good taste in clothes
LOVED THIS CLASS. Lectures are easy, test are straight from the lectures so there is no surprise. YOU HAVE TO SHOW UP TO CLASS, very strict on attendance.
Easy class, just show up. However, as far as true academics go, he is really disappointing. He willing to use ad hominem attacks in an academic argument which is not how a professor ought to help students seek the truth.
I looks like someone wrote some "awful" reviews one after the other. It's true professor Malagon might be a little bit arrogant, he's a libertarian and I am a Bernie supporter, we are at apposite poles, but come on, he is hands down the best lecturer on campus. He makes his courses both enjoyable and interesting. Take him if wanna learn & have fun
Don't believe the "awful" posts; Prof. M is one of the kindest, most engaging professors at MDC. His lectures are thought-provoking and often humorous. But if you text or sleep in class, he'll ask you to leave. Easy class if you follow the rules.
Take this professor. He is great.
He's really odd.... but amazing!!! All quizzes are online besides the final (which he let us use our written notes). He sends you the power points but once your absent for the third time he will STOP sending them to you!!
If you come to class you will PASS wihout a doubt. He is a great professor! Every thing on the test is straight from the powerpoints its open notes and at home. EASY A!
This professor is amazing and his class is so easy. I don't know how people can fail this class. His lectures are funny and really interesting. Trust me take this professor, you will not regret it.
No Projects. No Essays. No Books. This is the easiest class you'll ever do. 4 Quizzes, 1 Mid term and 1 Final. Sounds a lot right? You think you have to study? NO. The answers are within the power point lectures which HE SENDS YOU. The midterm and final are the same questions as the quizzes. His class isnt boring either, you LEARN A LOT.
would take any of his classes
Easily one of the best professors at Miami-Dade College
All quizzes and test are online! His lectures are great just gets off topic at times. Just make sure you write down information from the powerpoints
I'd like to take him for every single class. he is a very nice professor. His testes are the same of the power points
Best prof ever
Take him, He is the best
His class is one of the easiest I've ever taken, but If you want to actually learn I wouldn't take him
Professor Malagons lectures are very interesting and fun. He shows us videos on topics we are covering in class to help us understand the material better. Quizzes are on Blackboard and he sends us PowerPoints to help us study for the quizzes. I like his lectures because I agree with many of the things he talks about (world issues and whatnot).
The class was super easy, 4 quizzes, midterm, and final all on blackboard. Sends you PowerPoints for all the tests. Attendance is mandatory!!! He will drop you at a certain amount of absences in a heart beat. He doesnt play with attendance but a super nice guy.
Amazing! Take his class hes nice and the class is easy
His class was great. Its literally only a paper, final, and midterm (which are online). He doesn't even grade the paper that harshly. funny guy
This professor has been one of the best, if not the best professor I've had at MDC. Not only is he hilarious and has a fire fashion sense, but his lessons are ones you won't get bored of. he uses the right words and right techniques to get you to really learn the subject. He is very dedicated and cares for everyone to pass his class. - #ariesgang
I loved this professor, he went thoroughly in all the lectures and made class fun, one of the few professors i would show up to the class, just a couple of easy papers and one group presentation, Easy A
Although his class was incredibly easy, I would never take a class with him again. He was arrogant and rude and often said hurtful things to students. Worst professor I have ever had, without a doubt.
Malagon is a very cool professor. All his assignments and exams are easy and he is hilarious. Dont bother buying the book. You shouldnt be worried about this class at all.
This professor is very easy going. He's very knowledgeable on his subject and has interesting lectures. The whole semester there's 3 papers and one video summary. There's not much to say other than he is a cool guy and it's a fairly easy class.
The professor is easy going. Took online and his class lectures were great, he's knowledgeable and engaging. I didn't buy the textbook, used the chapter PowerPoints because it had so much info. Not many assignments, clear grading criteria. My advice: Don't miss a class, PARTICIPATE, and follow the assignment instructions.
REMOTE CLASS-Very easy and clear class. Had 3 homework that we had until the end of the semester to do. 1 very easy midterm if you read the powerpoints and same for the final. Take this class for an A and to learn if you listen in class. He is also smart and funny.
Prof Malagon is amazing! I'm taking my third class with him this upcoming semester. I took CCJ and Terrorism with him. You do have homework, its very simple trust me. He is the best prof I've had at mdc. Very funny, cares about students, has a lot of experience and knowledge, understands his students and stress from other classes.
Take him he's cool and gives many chances a lot of content in the course but he lectures it all well
Take him, he is so funny. Very little homework. 2 essays. Midterm and final are not proctored. Love this professor, he is very smart and he knows what he is doing.
His class consist of a lecture the whole class, he could end class early if he finishes. 3 exams, and two homework assignments. Attendance is required, he lets you miss three days, and thats it. Extremely funny and great lectures, I took him for AMH 2020 online, he also gives study guides for the exams, and homeworks are super easy. No textbook.
Professor Malagon is amazing. He doesn't ask for much besides your attention and respect. Attendance is highly appreciated by him. Overall this class is very easy, especially when it comes to your exams, I would just focus as much as possible on putting maximum effort into your final project and be creative as possible.
Professor Malagon does a great job teaching his class and makes it easy for his students to learn about a subject he truly cares about. He gaves us study guides for our midterm and final and was very flexible about our presentation of our histroical figures. Malagon is one of the best professor I have taken up to this date.
As a history major, I couldn't recommend his class enough. He's very knowledgeable and his class is very lighthearted. PowerPoint heavy but his lectures aren't boring and he shows many videos based on the topics he covers. Little to no homework, and the work is easy. He provides good study guides for the midterm/final, overall a great laidback dude
He is the best professor. He makes his lectures very interesting and always tries to keep you engaged. Midterm and Final but he makes it very easy for you. TAKE HIM you wont regret it. SO freaking funny too.
This is my first semester at Miami Dade College and I already love the class. Professor is very entertaining, very good at getting the point or lesson across, and he cares about his students a lot to lead them towards success. A very good professor and I highly recommend you choose him as your professor.
He does his job very well, he does everything in order for you to pass his class, and makes it easy for you to understand. The exams are based on his powerpoints so attending class is very crucial. Assignments are quick little 5 questions to answer. He is very funny, his lectures are engaging. I highly recommend him.
I would honestly retake his class just for fun.
Easy class, attendance is a must, grades off hw, attendance, midterm and final.
He is an awesome professor and he genuinely wants his students to pass.He only gave us five super easy assignment in the entire year.I wish all professors were like him.
I wish there was more professors like Professor Malagon. He is very understanding and very knowledgeable about what he is teaching, he is hilarious and actually makes you want to go to class. The midterms with him are not stressful because if you pay attention you will 100% pass, it sounds cliche but he is truly a one of a kind professor.
One of the best professors I've had—knowledgeable, transparent, and genuinely engaging. His class is manageable if you pay attention and complete the homework on time. 1000000% would take again.
Super funny professor. Genuinely hilarious and super chill. He's passionate about the subject and the lectures were engaging and interesting. The homework was intense at times but it's not impossible. You will be dropped if you skip his class more than 3 times and your attendance will not be accounted for if you're 15+ mins late. Would retake class
Amazing professor—super understanding and absolutely hilarious. Show respect, and he'll make the class fun and easy for you. However, do not, under any circumstances, take your phone out; he hates phones.
Wish all teachers were like him, very passionate about what he teaches, homeworks were long but nothing you couldn't handle if people say the class is easy in person its even easier online would recommend taking the class online if you want, overall a great professor, funny and replies back as fast as he can to emails.
This class was very easy. All assignments were done through McGraw. There was a midterm and final on Canvas, but they were not proctored. He's very passionate in his lectures. He would sometimes put up a Zoom poll for participation points, but you didn't have to get the answer right for credit, you just needed to answer it.
I highly recommend Professor Malagon. He's an easy, caring, and respectful teacher who assigns 1-2 weekly assignments designed to help, not overwhelm. He's also funny and supportive.
Professor Malagon makes this class a breeze. Engaging lectures, minimal assignments, and fair exams. unstuck AI was a game-changer for prep. Highly recommend taking this course if you need an easy A.
The best professor ever, fr. I absolutely loved his classes and learned so much. I would take a class with Professor Malagón a million times over. I truly appreciate everything he said and did for us.
Professor Malagon makes his classes interesting and fun. There is homework for each chapter and two exams. He provides all the necessary information. Easy A.
American history was not a class I was looking forward to. But this professor is AMAZING! He actually made me wanna learn the history of America. And I was always looking forward to his comments and perspective on things. This class is either an A or an F. The homework is a solid hour long, but easy. Just eats up time. He's funny and great! 1000/10
Made learning history very interesting, overall a great professor!
He is the best teacher; I love how he explains things and how he expresses himself. He is not boring at all. The assignments are super easy, and everything is online.
