Fall 2019 - Dr.Maloy's lectures are very engaging. His method of "reversed classroom" is challenging but I got a lot from it. The online textbook is absolutely USELESS. It only provides basic information. If you want to ace midterms and final, do not waste your time rereading that piece of garbage. Go to his office hours as often as you can, especially the ones he hosts towards the time for midterms and finals. They are so crucial for acing the tests. Honestly, I learned more from his office hours than his lectures. He is so patient with every student and with every question. Don't worry about asking a "dumb" question, because somehow, Dr. Maloy will connect your "dumb" question to some other mind-blowing concept. Honestly, one of the best professor one can hope to have.

Summer 2020 - Originally, I was not going to write this review because I felt like the only one who experienced these problems. But, after seeing another student share similar concerns, I'd like to also share my opinion. It was almost impossible to contact this professor. He originally said he would not give his email out because he checked CampusWire more often, which is completely acceptable, except there were multiple occasions where he did not log onto CampusWire for 4+ days straight in a 6 week Summer Session (you can check when someone last logged on via DMs). When he did log on to CampusWire, he often only upvoted student responses instead of actually answering the questions themselves, even when some questions were left unanswered for 3+ days. Additionally, he made multiple mistakes on his first midterm and instead of acknowledging them, he just wrote on the answer key that one answer was "more correct" than his incorrect answer (even though there was only one actually correct answer). Students won't bother checking answers they already got right when reviewing the answer key, so many students were left making the same mistake on the Midterm II and Final Exam (I could tell because one of the review questions another student made for future exams was similar in concept and I had to explain it to fellow confused students). Despite this, as long as you take this class with a friend so you can ask questions to them, this class is an easy A.
