if you get less than a B in this class, you must REALLY be trying hard not to pass. everything he reviews for the test, is ON the test!! his tests are 25 multiple choice ?s and everyone always gets done within 5 mins. he hardly ever takes attendance. its not mandatory anyway. but if you do go to class, he ALWAYS lets you out 20-30 mins early!

Great teacher, knows what he is talking about. Always available for discussions. I would recommend him to anybody.

His class is ridiculously easy, you don't even need to go, just make sure you know what days the tests are and come in the day before to get the review. I never opened the book, I never printed the notes, I barely paid attention and I got an A

very laid back great teacher highly recommend him!! if you can take him do it his classes fill up quick!

Great teacher and easy class. Took him over Summer I. You cant go wrong in his history class. He provides all the notes, no book needed just look over the reviews he gives you. Great guy that really into his Cars and Comanche Indians.

Easy A, lets you out early, no textbook needed, and provides you with notes online. Recommended!

Great Lectures, keeps it accurate and simple.

So Easy...Lets you out early every day and is crystal clear about everything. Take him!

Great teacher for your average history UN-enthusiast. Always lets you out early. Reviews on blackboard with ALL the material you need for the tests (you don't even have to pay attention to lectures). Two 25-question tests and a slightly longer final. Attendance is not mandatory. Easy, peezy, lemon-squeezy!

Really cool teacher very outgoing. Very Easy. Never gives home work do not get the book. Loves to talk about cars. His tests are online.

He was Very Good

the best US history teacher ever

Great professor

He was easy! You don't have to pay attention. I stopped going after 2nd week and I made an A. However for those of you who care to listen his lectures are really good. For those of you who don't care its easy. It works for both sides, students who want to learn and students who dont. I recomend him! He gives reviews which are basically the tests :)

SUPER EASY A! only one short paper and he gives you reviews for the tests which are all multiple choice

Mr Malavis is SUPER EASY! He practically gives you the answers, but he's really cool, too. As long as you show up and take notes then you'll do really well.

Best History Professor I have had in a long time! Gives lectures like telling a story and really intresting. Tests are super easy if you study. Requires one paper, but not that hard. Would recommend highly!!

I absolutely enjoy attending his classes. The class is usually a short lecture and a quiz at the end. Only major assignment is a midterm paper. Super easy. He gives you the information directly and tests you over it unlike other teachers who give you loads of information and test you on only a section of it. You won't regret taking his class.

I normally am terrible at history however thanks to this teacher that is no loner the case! I took the online course and I was able to use the old textbook which was super cheap. This teacher is helpful and as long as you have the review pulled up the test are super easy. He only gives 3 tests and a small research paper :D

TAKE HIM!! I don't like history but he teaches in a story telling way. U remember alot. U take a T/F quiz after every class and it's easy. The tests are in the comp lab and u have an outline that basically have all the answers. I took 15 hours and it was NICE not having to worry about this class. Great guy.

Honestly, the class was super easy. There were two lecture exams (both online), daily quizzes, a short essay based off an article longer than like ten pages, and a 40 question final (also online). I stopped attending class after the last quiz and still ended up with an A.

Took his class online. Syllabus is straightforward on what to expect. Discussion board question every week was pretty easy with one paper and 3 tests. Review for test covered the test by 90% of the info. Would recommend him. Wish he taught the second part!

Easiest class I've ever taken. Don't waste your money buying the book, you'll never use it! If you're taking a heavy course load and you need to take a History class, he is a must take!

Very easy class. No need for textbook (even though he says you need one). All tests are online, even if you take him for a face-to-face class. Attend all classes, this will help you in the end if you want to be bumped up to the next letter grade.

I took this class online, Easy A. One discussion board a week and 3 tests. The reviews are the same as the test, but the book is needed for the discussion boards! Highly Recommend!

Loved this professor. Read the book. Tests are online. Funny guy. Great class. Wish he taught every History class.

Took his class online. Easiest class ever. (or one of my easiest classes ever) I've also learned a lot! Reading the book is a must, but he also gives reviews prior to the exams to aid you.

His, one of the Best professor for U.S History. He's funny and makes class interested all the time. In order to pass his class with and A you must take notes, there are outlines in Black Board but in reality they don't help. Test are all multiple choice and he gives you entire class. I made an A but with notes. He's very funny and a chill professor

Really good professor! Before taking this class I was not at all interested in history, infact I had droped history class before( with another teacher) but this time I am making not only passing but I am getting good grades. He gives you notes so you can concentrate on his lectures, Test review before exam, totally 4 exams, and 1 research paper.

All you have to do in this class is pass 3 multiple choice tests, and participate in the weekly discussions by posting 1 answer to the question and commenting on 3 other students' post. Discussions are worth 25% of your final grade, & the 3 tests are worth 25% each also. No Term Papers! all tests questions are found somewhere in his lecture notes

Best and easiest professor ever! How would someone struggle with his class? I'll never know. Reading the book is necessary for the discussion board though. I have learned a lot from his reviews.

Took him for summer session of 2013. You have to do weekly discussions but they do not take that long to do. Exams are very easy too as he gives you the review prior to the exam. Probably the easiest class in existence.

So easy!! Weekly discussion boards and 3 tests and your done. Made an A and I rarely touched my book - seriously! Just because he may be "rude" doesn't mean you shouldn't take him. If your already taking a lot and need hist, add him to the list and you will be absolutely fine. Awesome!

15 discussion board questions and 3 tests. He gives a list of the weekly readings and the tests are easy if you read the chapters. Take him online if you need a hist 1301 credit!

I just took him online for HIST 1300, extremely easy. Read the chapters, follow and participate in discussions (required). Exams aren't too diffucult.

Super easy professor!! I definitely recommend taking him. Only 3 exams (including the final) all of which are online.. Gives you a whole outline of notes that will cover everything during the class. I wish I would have just taken him online bc it seems that easy and I am not good with online classes... Anyway, definitely take him!! He's great!

I took this class online it was very easy just do the weekly discussions and follow his syllabus and you are good to go we only did 3 exams and common assessment paper and that's about it.

His homework is really easy to do. His tests are straight from the lectures, which is also straight from the outline he has on blackboard. His powerpoints are the same as the outlines. Super easy class. Easy A. He is also funny & nice. I recommend him to those deciding on who to take for HIST 1301. You can use the text book or outline for the hw.

Only 3 tests the whole semester, all online, all answers are in the outline. Discussion questions, but super easy. You do not have to show up for class, but his lectures are hilarious and he tells stories so I enjoyed going to class. Do not need a textbook. He lets class out early every day. I highly recommend him.

Funny and easy to get an A, Very laid back and all tests are done online even the class is on campus. no need to write notes, he gives a thorough outline of notes and the questions and answer are crystal clear for exams!!! TAKE HIM FOR HISTORY!!!

Professor Malavis is an amazing teacher. His lectures are always funny and interesting, and he lets you out of class extremely early. Unlike other professors that keep you there till the last minute, he gives you the information that you need then lets you go. only 3 tests and some easy discussion board posts. Easiest class ever.

Discussions, Quizzes, Paper and Final - READ READ READ if you don't read you won't know your discussions or quizzes or final!

Prof. Malavis is the best professor I've ever had. His lectures are interesting, and he delves into the "behind the scenes" parts of history and relates them to real life. Attendance is not mandatory, and all 5 of his tests are online, 25 Qs. Super easy and google friendly. He won't baby you, but will make it a smooth ride to that 'A'.

3 tests including the non cumulative final. You have to post a discussion each week and one short paper. Follow the outline and you'll pass.

15 discussion boards, must comment on 3 other students. Uploads DB's all at once. 3 tests including a final. Gives you 4 days to complete tests. Regular exams have 25/Final has 40. No extra credit. Provides an outline on what you should read and focus on for the test. Only 1 essay (300 words). Posts an announcement when due dates are near.

I took this class online and it was easy to keep up with. His expectations are clear and well organized. If you read and follow the outline it is an easy A. My only complaint is he never responded to the one email I sent and he doesn't give feedback. He counted off 5 points on my discussions and paper, but I have no idea why, still made an A though

I took him for a 5 week mini summer. He had 15 discussion boards, reply to 3 students. 3 test, which include the final and a reserach paper. His outlines tells you exactly what to do, read the chapters and you will be good. Made a B.

Took online. 2 tests, 1 final, 1 300 word research essay, 15 discussions with 3 replies to other students. Made a B.

I took his online full spring semester course . You have a total of 3 exams 20 questions each with a decent amount of time 1 hour to take them . Then your final that is 40 questions with 1:30 mins to take and one Article Analysis . Discussion boards due every week . Course outline has answers to his exams use it ! Take his online course easy !

Even though I did not email or talk to Professor Malavis a lot, he was still a cool professor. If you take him online, you have to do weekly discussion boards, a test every few weeks, and 1 research paper. Would recommend for everyone to take Malavis.

Best Professor. Take this class. 100% recommend! You will not regret it. Wish every professor was like him

Great teacher! I just took him for a 3 week mini and got a B we had 15 discussion boards (1 paragraph each), a paper, and 3 exams. It was great taking his class and hes very accessible outside of class as well :)

Great professor, easy class

He was a very laidback teacher, lectures were 30 minutes max. He does everything online, and you can very easily pass his class. He doesn't grade until the end, but if you keep track of your scores, you should be fine.

Took online for a Three week summer mini. I dont regret it, its the easiest class I have ever taken. Read and look at his lecture power points. Very clear material.

Very easy class but also very easy to fail. Look at his syllabus for test dates. Do not rely on the announcement page to know when a test or assignment is coming. Through email, he gives reviews for 3 exams. The reviews are exactly like the exams. Complete DB every week and one paper. No extra credit or retakes! Very few assignments overall.

8 week mini it was easy! just read the material and summit everything on time and you will be good!

Professor Malavis was great. The directions for his class are clear in the beginning. Easy class. You post discussions weekly, have a paper to write in the middle of the semester, and take 3 tests including the final exam. He gives you an awesome study guide. Would definitely take him again.

Professor Malavis is hilarious and he has a very easy class! There is no reason to fail this class as he gives reviews before the tests which are exactly like the test. He is very kind and responsive and answers every questioned asked online or in person. Take his class if you want an easy credit!

Malavis is a super laidback guy, he does not assign much other than a weekly discussion board and the occasional exam. He usually ends class after forty-five minutes and allows the study guide to be used on the exams.

He was very nice and down to earth. The reviews are exactly like the exams. Make sure to do the discussion boards and look over the review and you will do great.

Easy A! I took Prof. Malavis for a 5-week summer mini. 15 discussion boards, he gives 3 a week (due Saturday, no responses needed, woohoo!!) 2 exams (25 questions each, 1 hour time, final is 40 questions with 2 hours.) He gives a study guide which is exactly like the exams! Don't bother emailing him... lol his instructions are very clear & easy.

I took Professor Malavis for HIST1301 and really enjoyed his class. As long as you do your work and reading you can easily make an A.

Professor Malavis is the easiest and funniest professor at San Jac. He understands that most of his students just want to receive the credit and he genuinely wants his students to pass. If you have the option, TAKE HIS CLASS. It's so entertaining and he lets you out early.

Amazing, super funny professor. The biggest problem is the blackboard is very disorganized. But honestly, it doesn't even matter because the tests are easy and sitting in class is always fun.

Best class to take in my opinion. If you just need the credit then I highly recommend this class. If you are actually trying to learn history on another level then take another class. One Sig assignment, two exams, and a final. Everything on the review is on the exams so please use them. 15 discuss boards total and 1 due each week. Overall 10/10.

SUPER EASY CLASS. pls take him if you want an easy credit. take him and lisa palton(GOV) and college would be much easier and more time to focus on other classes. only weekly discussions, 3 test, and a 500 word essay. never met him or lisa but if i did i would want them to be my second pair of parent istg.

Easy class to take. He is clear on what is expected and did not make it difficult. I would take him again. The class was not bad at all.

Proffessor Malavis's classes should be an easy A. His lectures were very straight forward and didn't take the whole lecture time, he would let us leave 30 min early. Textbook wasn't really necessary because he gave us an online resource to save us the problem of having to purchase a textbook. I would def take him again.

This class was unnecessarily easy. If you really want to learn history, it's not for you. If you just want the credit, take it and don't think twice. Mr Malavis was awesome. Very little work and he's a fair grader. He's a little "blunt" on emails but is very quick to reply and was helpful. If he taught 1302, I'd take him again in second. 10/10
