I didn't like this professor very much. He did move fast, but to be fair I took his night class in research methods. He seems to be interesting enough but a bit full of himsefl. I tried to talk to him after class but never got anywhere. His grading system consisted of two multiple choice tests during the whole semester. Lots of reading and memori

full of himself, will refuse to talk to u if u need help he'll tell u to go to the TA... class consists of midterm and final, a paper on a topic that HE picks, and then a lab... very sucky, lots of memorization, i recomment J. Todd for this course!!! i took malmberg and got a C, my friend took Todd and barely studied and got an A!!!

Terrible professor. Doesn't seem to really care about students. Not clear on his expectations of students, nor in his approach to teaching. Unapproachable. Disrespectful and rude. Wish I had seen his ratings from Iowa State which are just as bad as the ones he has received since he's been at USF. Obvious he doesn't enjoy teaching, so why bother?

THE WORST TEACHER EVER!!! do NOT take him!!! not even if you have no other choice! HORRIBLE!!!

horrible teacher, recommend don't take. doesn't explain things and moves fast. doesn't help you AT ALL too.

Dont take this class! Book is vauge, professor is unavaliable and talks more about memory and his research than what is needed for the class and tests. Moves quickly through lectures, and wont post notes. without lab i would have failed,i think that 1/3 of the class did not pass.

though he is insanely smart, he is a terrible teacher. he cannot relay the information clearly, or even answer any questions clearly. he frankly goes off in to tangents, and never even finishes his lectures. his first exam was 70 ? and it was insanely detailed. do not take him. he is not usto teaching undergrads and has unrealistic expectations.

This was the worst professor I have had at any of the three colleges I attended. He does not care about teaching or helping students. His main priority is furthering his research at any cost.

This is the worst teacher i have ever had. i had him last semester for that class he's not helpful at all. He even tells you in class, if you have any questions don't e-mail him contact your TA which is insane to me. Exams are really hard. Cannot explain at all. Run away from that teacher. It was a night class 3hrs not 1 day he gave a break.

Really wish I wouldn't have taken this class. It was very hard, there were no reviews on the tests, he did give the questions to all tests, but they were so tricky, I don't feel like it helped. All this class did for me is lower my GPA and screw my chances of grad school.

This class is basically worthless if he is teaching. I am a great student and I get decent grades. When I took this class I was totally lost. He can't complete any ideas without going off on some sort of crazy tangent! He will not talk to you even if you have questions about his lectures ...he is very vague.

boring lectures!!! TAs are cool. easy class, ut not a god professor at ALL.

The class is HARD! But he does make it interesting.

For the love of God and all things that are holy, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. I am a good student and I usually get A's or B's and even I thought this was HORRIBLE. This guy rambles doesn't really care about his students. If he hates teaching so much then he should find another profession. Heed my advice, take this with someone else.

Horrible. RUN!

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!! Most of his slides are pointless and his lectures often go off topic. The text book is definitely needed because this class is self taught. Work really hard on the research paper and lab assignments to get a good grade in the class.

This was the worst professor that I have ever taken. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. I have gotten A on every psychology class and this class is horrible. This professor does not respond to emails and does not care about his students. I repeat do not take this teacher..

Gives one hour for everyone in the class to take exam. Lectures are ineffective & convoluted (stutters, doesn't properly convey message, lecture stops abruptly midsentence). Quizzes & exams are poorly written & edited. I really enjoy the subject & the textbook; wish I had a more competent instructor. By far the worst college experience I've had.

Terrible, awful, no good!! Do not take this class with this professor! The quiz questions are tricky and ambiguous and there is not enough time to complete exams! I am an A student and struggled with this class! He does not care that you are struggling and will do nothing to help you. Do not take!!!!!!!

(Online class) DO NOT take this professor. His tests are nothing like the any of the material. I would read all my chapters, make notes, and study previous quizzes and still failed ALL my tests and I am an A/B student and like to keep my standards for studying high. I am more than disappointed with this class.

refuses to answer questions in a helpful manner. for a psych prof, creates too much anxiety with tests, would think he would understand how to create a low stress environment.

Boy do I regret taking this class over the summer and for my last class before graduation. I have to say, one of the most difficult classes I have taken in psychology. The exams barely give you any time, and the material is dense. Probably would not tell anyone to take this class if you are not interested in physiological psychology.

There are spelling errors throughout quizzes, tests, lectures and dates are from last semester in syllabus. 60 mins for 60 questions is unattainable, especially when each question is a paragraph long. Questions are ambiguous. I am an A student and this course destroyed my GPA. You would need to already know the answers to each question to get an A.

Professor is unhelpful when it comes to pertinent issues. Will not even lift a finger to try and asset with anything that you need help with. My best advice is to take another professor that will give you same credit, because this professor is cares absolutely nothing for his students.

This is by far the laziest professor I have ever seen. He waited to the last minute to open up the online class. The book he listed was the wrong book. The online lectures where 5 years old and did not match the current book or test given. There where no study guides for the exams. If you care about your GPA don't take him.

I liked his labs but they are worth nothing 2.5 pts. and then you have to write a discussion about the labs another 5 pts. So his tests are extremely hard. I took notes and listened to his lectures which did not help. The class average was a 62% almost an F. His tests are worth 100 pts. If you care about your grade do not take him.

Everything but his exams are tolerable. He states in his syllabus that you don't need the textbook, and only need his lectures, however the content that he tests on is not always from the lecture. He does not try to address these issues of class averages on exams being below 70%.

Listen. Don't take his online course. Just don't. He tells you not to get the textbook, that his lectures (which are like 5 min each) will be enough to pass the exam. His review questions are so easy & the test is so hard & literally has nothing to do with what was said in his lectures. Idk how you're supposed to get an A.

I'm a straight A senior and this class ruined my perfect GPA right at the end of college. His exams have nothing to do with his lectures and they're proctored. This isn't even my first cognitive class, so I know that I understand the material. He also groups assignments to all be due on the same day so if you miss one deadline, you miss three. Run.

I will just continue the past comments regarding how terribly hard this class was. 4 exams, lowest dropped, labs and discussions, final paper, and an optional final exam. I have always loved online classes but this has been by far the hardest online class I have ever taken. I highly regret taking this class as it seems impossible to get an A.

Beware! Only 3 days to take the proctored online exams. Modules are split in 2, you have 3 discussions and 3 online labs for each. The discussions are only open for 3 days. No book, you "only need the lectures" then puts material on the tests you've never seen before. Vague questions with confusing answers. Same setup as previous comment.

Test questions are extremely vague and have nothing to do with the actual exams. I thought I was the only one who thought so until I came across his rate my teacher. When I tried to contact him about the issue his response seemed very condescending. Thinking about emailing him his ratemyteacher profile once the semester ends.

Test questions don't match the exams. Its hard to "think deeply" about the material when it was never covered in the first place. We can't be expected to create new connections about material on exams when exams contain terms and thing that we never saw in lecture.

This is by far the worst class i have ever taken. I have taken many online classes but he is the absolute worst professor. None of the material on the exams are in the lecture and there is no study guide. I emailed him for advice to get a better grade on the exams and all he said was study. I emailed him again and he did not reply at all.

The labs are very easy and he grades them easy as well. The tests are impossible. I would practically memorize every lecture and that information is useless for the test. He says the textbook is not mandatory. If I were to take this class again I would buy the textbook to see if it made a difference.

This professor is probably the worst you could have at USF. Download the textbook!!! He does not put it in the syllabus because he would rather you learn from his 6-minute lectures that provide no help. It is called cog psych by E. Bruce Goldstein. It will save you in this class.

I highly recommend that NO ONE take this professor. He provides very short lectures that does not cover a huge portion of the exams.I am highly upset with this professor because his teaching style is not based on helping a student pass. There are four exams and if you do not pass the exams YOU WILL FAIL the class. DO NOT take this professor.

pulls tests from optional material, used slurs against people with disabilities in class, takes forever to respond to emails, would not offer or suggest which material to focus on for test during office hours, rude

Just dont do it. You WILL regret it!!!!

Horrible professor, if you need a good grade do NOT take him

Dont do it. just dont. absolutely horrible class, super hard, doesn't provide any study material and not helpful. This was my first C and only class ive ever had so much trouble with. not worth the stress, trust me on this one. avoid taking this class!

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!! His class doesn't have a textbook so u rely on his lectures. they're 3-10 mins long w NO info provided. Tests are EXTREMELY difficult & don't relate to the lectures. questions were confusing & difficult. They made no sense. Even called him out for testing us on material he didn't teach & he didn't care & was rude.

This professor is horrible. He does not take any of his classmates considerations and just assumes that were not studying enough. Do not take this class with him as your professor. He uses outdated lectures, and they are very vague. He does not require nor even recommend a book when there is material on the test that is not covered.

My classmates and I are getting Ds and Fs every test with the content that Malmberg provided. Tells us to study harder but we spend hours doing so. We are not the problem. Rude when you email him. Labs & discussions are easy, but this class with this professor isnt worth the headaches. Try taking someone else, trust me. Your GPA will thank you.

First two exams I had in this class I got a 50. Finally spent an entire week studying up for the third exam only to get an 75 on it. Everyone in the class is doing so bad he had to change the grading criteria for a C from the ranges of 70-79 to 65-77. I have a B in the class because everyone else is doing so bad. DON'T TAKE HIM.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. I've never really believed the reviews until I had him. You will not be able to pull higher than a C. His exams don't test on the material he teaches. He doesn't give a book, then tests on the book. He doesn't let you form study groups. You will not do well. It isn't possible. Across 4 exams, the average is 65

The lectures he provides are extremely light in content, which is bad if you're in an online class. Any additional materials is in a textbook he doesn't require but won't tell you about, and you will fail the exams if you don't have it. He actively told me not to work with other students-- in the middle of a pandemic! Do not take this class.

Never take his classes. He relies on you to teach yoursell. He bumbles through lectures then tests you on info from text book he tells you not to buy. He had to change his gradeing scale because over half the class was failing. He also refuses to actualy help students if thay need it.

Malmberg's class only had weekly lectures, 6 exams, and 2 papers. There was no homework or anything else to help you actually learn the material or apply it. His lectures didn't seem to cover most of what was on the exams. He does drop the lowest test grade, which is the only good thing about the class in my opinion.

Your grade is based only on exams and it's almost impossible to do well on them. The questions are confusing and he picks random facts from the textbook to ask the questions on. The only reason I got an A is because he curves the exams and drops the lowest at the end of the class.

If you value your education and want your professor to value it too, avoid this one. The lectures are dreadful to get through. Class is based off 5 exams so there are no assignments to help teach you. The exams will have random questions that do not relate to the material just so he can tell you are watching lectures. Just. don't do it.

I wouldn't take this class again if my life depended on it. This was the only Research Methods course available online, so I took it. Dr.Malmberg teaches solely using lectures. In total, there are 5 exams and 2 writing assignments. Dr.Malmberg puts conflicting information on Canvas assignments and is completely unwilling to work with students.

terrible professor. doesn't care if you understand the material and doesn't want you to do well. I flunked this class and if I had to take it again with him id rather drop and spend the rest of my life as a dropout.

made MANY racist comments about middle eastern/north african countries and people. attendance is mandatory and has a sign in sheet every class. impossible to reach outside of class. HE LOST STUDENTS EXAM PAPERS. he is COMPLTELY inflexible, if you miss an exam for ANY reason, even if you tell him in advance, he still fails you.

I did not have a easy time with this guy. His attendance is the worst thing I have see, you are only allowed to miss 2 lectures, and 1 lab with him. If you miss it, your done, like whole ass F for the semester no excuses. A lot of the students were yelled at when they gave like proper excuses for their absences.

While you can pretty much get a good grade as long as you show up and pay attention, his attitude and attendance policy are a nightmare. I was always on time to class & lecture, but one time I had a personal issue, & showed up two minutes late, and he pretty much told me that I needed to forget my personal life and only worry about his class.

Openly rude and self-inflated. Ridiculous workload because he genuinely believed his class was the most important thing in the world. Once got upset because class was cancelled due to a literal tornado siren. He told the TAs that it wasn't necessary to cancel classes in a glass building. This also wasn't a class he had to attend. TAs are great

Your grade is made up of 4 exams and attendance points. If you miss more than 2 lectures you get 0/100 for attendance and are basically capped at a C. He doesn't allow for excused absences. He can be captivating as a lecturer but it gets squandered by ego. Not to mention his lectures are often long tangents that don't prepare you for the tests.
