He is an extremely understanding professor. Do all of the homework. It weighs more than tests.

Difficult subject, but Malmos made it fun. Very flexible with grading and very helpful. Lots of enthusiasm. When he laughs, you will laugh (mostly at his laugh). Teacher scores an overall A!

Very ineresting class. Hard, but lots of fun. Never once was I bored. Very helpful and knowledgeable.

Malmos for president!

you do need to study but he makes learning the material "fun". he is absolutely hilarious!! highly recommend the class, even just for honors credit. he is so smart if you need any help he is there(when he isn't in a meeting.lol.).

i always seemed to study the wrong thing for tests, which were hard...but doing the homework was VERY beneficial to my final grade...very nice and enthusiastic teacher

Interesting if you already have a base knowledge on Biology. Doesn't really deal with teaching all that much, but more attempts to expand on what you already know about biology. Keep up on the reading and the tests are easy.

He is a really good teacher. The tests are hard but he is extrememly nice.

I think he is hilarious. He does a lot of lecturing but makes it fun just because of who he is! He's just stupid, in a funny way. He is the nicest, funniest professor I've had so far. Count my vote for him as president too!

this man is FUN!! so much fun with his class last semester. wish i could take him for bio2, but i guess he's not teaching it. but anyway, he is so fun and definitely take him. but if you really wants a serious bio1, take someone else.

got my vote!!!! finially got the hair cut.lol.good teacher.read material easy class

The test are hard but he teaches well. He has a unique style of teaching, never comes straight from the book. The best part is if you have a problem, just talk to him, he gives a little slack. Would def. recommend him.

Good teacher, tests kinda hard. He is a good teacher i would reccomend him to anyone who likes science but doesnt want to work very hard.

Be sure to see his Holloween costume

easy class if you keep up with the little assignments. tests are kinda hard, and the class is boring, but he's a sweet guy. easy a.

best bio teacher i have ever had.He is always there to help if he can and he never fails to inform you a week ahead for a test.tests are hard,but nothing to difficult if you pay attention and study.Malmos Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

His tests are hard but he is a decent teacher. It takes a very long time to get your tests back though. He is kind of spacey and goofy. The class is kind of boring too.

Definitely not the easiest teacher, but he's worth a shot. He's nice, and he will help you if you ask. He'll make you laugh too.

He is a totally hot man. His idea of fun is more work, but it balances your grade out with homework, it helps if you are serious about the class. Will do whatever he can to help you understand a concept if you take the time to ask him personally.

he is so nice, really cool teacher and cares a lot about you doing well in class

This guy is great. All test are multiple choice. Nothing too hard. It is an easy A or B if you come to class and read the book. I wish there were more like him!

He is a very nice man, but doesn't explain things well. He jumps around different topics a lot, but if you can put up with his bad lectures then it's easy to get an A.

Mr. Malmos is hot and an awesome professor! His tests are based off his thorough notes, and the book, if you study, it's an easy "A". Is willing to stay after EACH class and answer any and all questions you have. He has an awesome personality!

Professor is very helpful with understanding concepts.Lectures can be boring...loose interest quickly but online notes help. Tests aren't that easy but he usually gives you a break. Overall not a bad class...if you attend you'll pass

He knows what he is talking about and very helpful. Just make sure you study for the tests they are pretty hard. Lectures are pretty boring but not that bad of a class!

Very easy, attend all labs and pass with a B.

Mr. Malmos is the awesomest professor I have ever taken. His test are not easy, however he will help you out if you show interest in the class. He is really nice to talk to.

Mr. Malmos is a great teacher. He def knows what he is talking about. His tests are extremely hard so you will need to study, but he is always willing to help if you need any.

Great teacher. Very clear on the information you need. Follows the text book so studying is easy. DO THE READING. He really enjoys teaching.

MALMOS!!! This guy is awsome. He is the best Bio teacher in the school. The class is easy if and only if you read the chapters before you go over them in class and before the tests. If you do that you will get an A...trust me! Go to every lab and participate. The people that rate him badly are morons. One of my favorite classes!!!

Brilliant professor! Not sure why all the bad reviews. He is incredibly helpful, and this truly was an enjoyable class. Just be sure to READ the chapters and attend classes and labs, and you should have no problems. He is amazing teacher; very helpful, informative, friendly and approachable.Take his class and see 4 yourself, you will not regret it!

I took this class this semester. It is an easy class and long as you read the chapters. Tests are really easy, praticals are decent. Prof. Malmos is not a tough teacher. If you have a question just ask. It was a fun class and I did learn a bit from the class. Recommend this teacher and BSC1005L.

great class to fill your mind up with info to never use again. you have to read alot!! half of the class dropped and the others had either A's or C's. malmos will help out all that he can, but the subject is hard.

Professor Malmos is helpful if you have questions. For doing well on the exams and in class, be sure to read the chapters and do the test questions provided in the CD. Prof Malmos does go over items on next exams so focus on them as well. He is very conscious of how well you do, so communicate with him on vague items.

He is a very nice guy, very sweet but when it comes to teaching it may be confusing at times, as long as you study very hard and try you should pass.

Professor Malmos' class was very interesting as well as entertaining. Reading the book helps your grade tremendously in addition to taking lecture notes. He is approachable and takes interest in this subject very much. Recommended.

he's a smart guy with a lot to convey. if you get past his quirky antics, you will enjoy him.

Good teacher.

Not a bad guy. He will help you only if you go to him. He will even help oyu with the field you are interested in. But as someone said before, if you have prior knowledge of the subject material you will do just fine!

Great teacher, challenges you and makes it fun(ny).

Such an interesting class, not boring like some said, (they prolly just dont get the idea of bio) passionate of the subject and is portrayed by his style of teaching, funny laugh, and even if you have a question that stumps him hell find the answer later. great teacher bio is so cool

Malmos is the coolest teacher ever. Hes a brilliant person and that makes it a little hard to understand his lectures sometimes. Test are extremely hard but they are curved if you argue your point with him. take Malmos if you want to learn about bio.

He is an awesome teacher! He makes you think though. I recommend him to ANYONE! He helped me alot in the class and is really fare

I give that this man is very smart and knows his biology, but if you have no interest or background with bio you won't have a clue what is going on. You print the notes off his site and his lectures don't make any sense at all.

MALMOS! I took him a long time ago but he is hands down one of the best professors at Valencia! woo hoo go malmos!

Professor Malmos is by far my favorite teacher. His tests are hard but if you are very interested in Biology, he is definitely worth taking. Seeing his strong interest for this subject has made me become a Biology major. I have never seen someone so in love with his career and it has been truly inspiring. -M

Honors bio, he has a very peculiar way about him, very enjoyable to be in his class. As far as clarity, he likes to go on tangents sometimes, but most are relevant. I have only a moderate interest/working knowledge of the subject and I was able to follow the lectures without much difficulty. He's a very kind man and is always willing to help.

really nice man. but his teachings are all over the place he knows what hes talking about but its a lil hard to keep up. 5 tests, gives study guides and curves. i left with a b. but u really gotta study

Malmos is great. Biology is not an easy subject and you WILL need to study. If you read before class his lectures make sense. No one ever reads the chapter before the class and those people are the ones who are bored and lost. He is the most helpful Professor I have ever had. He is very sweet and SMART!

Everyone's over reacting for his bio 2 class. Malmos is a real nice guy, cares very much about his students. His lab practicals are not bad, if you get more than half of them right, it will not effect you grade. The only Critique are his beginning lab's which were very boring. Study form the body like what I did and you'll get an A!

Really nice guy, his lectures are whats on the test. But You must study with the book. Labs ares super fun. If you have a little bit of common sense you will do well

Prof. Malmos is a great instructor. Its not difficult to pass his class. All you have to do is put in some time to study for his tests, and that should be the case for any class. If you study for the tests you can get an A.SO HELPFUL! HW IS A BIG HELP FOR TESTS! He does his best to help us understand!*thumbs up*

I see a lot of bad reviews saying he is too hard. People this is Bio 2, not Tennis. This class takes a lot of studying, its very hard, and you need to put a lot of effort to do well. With that being said, He is very nice and tries to help as much as possible.Half his questions for the test come from his HW.His lectures are a bit hard to understand.

I am quite surprised that I left his class with a passing grade. It was difficult at times because he wasn't always clear. Text was extremely wordy. But I will say that he tried his best to answer questions and always offered help. So if you don't understand and don't ask for help, that is your fault because he offers it.

Extremely helpful. Bright invidiual. Slightly eccentric and works along multiple threads of interest. Interesting to listen to, engages students in meaningful deliberation and discussion. Class is 7.5/10 on a scale of hardness, something some college students have never dealt with (see everyone who complained).

Very inspirational. He really challenge your critical thinking skills on tests. Tips for passing: get a Dictionary of word root and combining form. It will help you understand those "big words". Make use of both the text book and online notes. Rather than just memorizing random facts...try to understand the relationships and the big pictures. -Sun

Taking Bio 1 now. Very helpful, gives study guides. Gives 25 points for each HW assignment (1 per unit). Class is not mandatory but lab is. Tests are 50 questions based mostly on class noted, HW & Study guides. Just signed up for Bio 2 with him.

I LOVE this teacher.Definitely not the easiest, but if you are in college you should be trying to learn,not just skate by and come out as dumb as you went in. Really takes an interest in his students. His love for Biology is just contagious. It was a challenging class, but he was always there to help.Don't expect an A with no studying.Won't happen.

Awesome teacher,he is funny and very smart.Dont expect an easy A,you are gonna have to work hard to earn it. Labs are good and they get better once you start disecting specimens.For those who complain Bio is not meant to be an easy class even less Bio2.Im a biochemistry major and I got an A,my lab partner is a computer major and got a B.FAIR enough

Hard class.Study ur book and esp online notes.If u memorize the online notes u'll do gr8 on tests.Gives hw b4 tests,an easy 20/20 grade booster.Plus he gives you 10 pts 4showing up2labs.btw u don't have2attend lecture.He is hard to follow during lecture.Very scattered style.That's the worst part.Not the best communicator.So do what I said 2 succeed

Prof. Malmos is a fantastic and inspiring teacher. Yes, his class is difficult- but why go to college to get a teacher who has you watch movies all day?? I'm looking to learn and be prepared for a university. If you are too, this is the class for you! He is EXTREMELY helpful, but you have to be proactive and ask for it when you need it!

The most important thing to remember about taking bio is that if you plan on majoring in any science field, any science class you take after this will be difficult. He was the best preparation I had for my university classes, and I'm very grateful. He really knows and loves what he's teaching. The first test is review; after that is the real stuff!

He is a very nice professor, he can be hard to understand sometime but he is always willing to help. He will stay after class to explain anything that you did not understand. I you study the material you will have no problem passing his test. I have learned a lot from him and got an A.

This class is really easy-going. I'm not sure what we were graded on. I think it has something to do with showing up, participating and doing the research process paper work. It also introduces us to a lot of the co-curricular opportunities that are available and gets people in touch with their mentor. Aside from that..

You have to be okay with a "wing it," conversational-style lecture, and in order to understand those lectures, you have to actually read the material before coming to class. The tests are not hard at all if you read the book and online notes. They are all multiple choice. He's very intelligent, but if you need a structured class, he isn't for you.

This professor is amazing. I'm very glad I took him. Last semester I failed biology with an F and I passed his class with a B! His lectures are not too fun but he tries to be funny, I honestly never payed attention to his lectures but you should still study, he is very nice and for his labs you don't need to do a lad report. Great professor!

Professor Malmos knows his material. In addition to being very knowledgeable, he also seems to genuinely enjoy teaching the material. Because of this, I enjoyed his lectures. He encourages class participation. It's not the easiest class, but it is easily one of the most interesting. I would definitely take this professor again.

Professor Malmos was really easy for me but other students were complaining about him. If you don't read then you will not be able to understand he's talking about. This homeworks & tests are relatively similar. SL sessions helped a lot. I got an A in the class but I really enjoy learning about biology.

Prof. Malmos is awesome! Extremely smart with biology and other sciences. Lectures are good once you figure out his thought process. Typical bio prof. he's a goof, but a great guy and always there to help. Graded on tests, homework, and showing up to lab. Harder course than one would think so don't fall behind!

He's very helpful and will do anything for you to pass the class.

loves you gives you everything you need to learn i love this professor will to take care of you

Keith Malmos may not be the best public speaker in a classroom but he is very kind, rarely checks attendance, and is pretty lenient on grading tests. His test questions are straight from his homework assignments word-by word. I don't recommend going to every class because he reads off the textbook and tends to constantly digress from the subject.

Professor Malmos is very nice and has a ton of corny humor. His Biological Science class is an easy A. You will be lost during some of his lectures ,but just ask questions and he will personally explain it to you in a way you can understand. This is the perfect class to take to get your science credit if you are not a science or med major.

An Awesome Professor! He tries extra hard to relate the Biology content to what you are knowledgeable in, he is a fantastic teacher to have and wish he could teach more classes. Also wish more professors out there were like he is, as more students would pass.

Professor Malmos has a genuine zeal for Biology that sparks excitement in students to learn the concepts more in-depth. He's not an easy professor, but he's very present and available for students to come to him with questions. If you put in the work, you'll do well in his course. He is always willing to help his students understand and excel.

Lectures weren't mandatory; 10 labs were. Notes or open book on exams. No honor lock. And 3-4 HWS, 2 lab exams which were in person and not open book & one comprehensive final or exam to replace lowest exam. 4 exams. He seems very easy going/personable. Not too strict but willing to answer questions. The class isn't too stringent. You can pass!

Love this man. He has a real passion for his job and it shows. It's not an easy course but if you pay attention and do what he suggests you can get through it. Little to no hw and the tests are from home but not easy. Come to class and listen, and you'll have a great time this man is super kind and respectful. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Keith is such a kind and personable professor, loves to chat with the class and constantly is asking for questions or feedback to further drive and engage the class. Little to no direction study wise in regards to tests and the lab practical. Very much a ask questions or be self taught course. Don't skip the labs at all and take notes.

Prof Malmos overall was an amazing professor, you can tell he really cares and is passionate about biology. If you're not into bio his lectures could be a little boring but I think that just goes for any lecture. He likes for people to participate and is a very understanding guy. Make sure to come to lab he grades it and tutoring session from TA.

He is probably the best for bio 2. Forget about extra credit as there is none and 400 points out of 700 are unit exams. But these exams are online and really easy to get a good grade on. The only thing that can mess you up are the lab practicals, but if you take pictures of everything and actually do the lab manual you should be fine. He is great.

Easiest class ever. Never went to a single lecture since they weren't mandatory. No Honor lock, so all the homework and tests were a breeze. Completely tanked the lab practical and still walked out with an A. He also drops the lowest test, if that matters to you. Very passionate about what he teaches, great guy!
