Great teacher. Lectures were interesting, material was clear and relevant, he had an open mind, and he was good about class participation/comments. The tests were very straight forward and exactly what the readings and lectures taught. I loved this class and would take another with him anytime. A bonus is that this class will give you very relevant skills that you can use after graduation.

This review is for COMM STUDIES 111. Malamuth is a great teacher. All the stuff I learned in the class was really helpful to everyday situations. Do the readings, and you should be fine! I'm SELLING the two required readings "Difficult Conversations" and "Interpersonal Conflict" books (discount if purchased together). If interested, please email *************!

Winter 2017 - Pretty easy class, but lots of material and anything is up for testing. He gives "study hints" which kind of gear you towards the tested topics... but not really. I didn't use the textbook at all, and while there are a lot of concepts in the "7 Principles" book, I didn't read that at all either. All the important information is on his slides. BUT sometimes his slides are kind of unclear so it still helps to go to class. There are three group debates that were pretty chill and a nice way to process the course information. There was also a big extra credit opportunity, at least when I took this class. Tests aren't super easy but I believe the class gets curved.

I went into this class hoping that it would be really exciting and fun, but it was so boring. Basically the whole class is based on research on pornography and mostly on Malamuth's own research. It might be a little intersting, but the way that he conveys it is so boring. Plus we were all bogged down by the crazy amounts of reading he made us do. It was really an unmanageable amount, and we had to know all of the material for our exams. Overall, our exams weren't too difficult, but it was just hard to keep up with the reading that was included in the tests. His lecture style is very resesarch-like and academic rather than talking to us on our level. He also tends to digress and elaborate on things way too much. One whole lecture could have been condensed to about 20 minutes worth of speaking. His wife lectured for us a couple of times since he was out of town or on religious vacation. I think that she was a better and more interesting prof. Even though they used the same exact Powerpoint slides, she conveyed ideas clearly and concisely in a more interesting manner. He encourages participation, but most people were scared to say anything since he takes a defensive or antagonistic approach to answering questions and defeating any ideas you might have. Easy but tremendously boring class.

class: Comm 111 Professor Malamuth is pretty awesome. Sometimes he gets a little boring because he reads right off the PowerPoint slides but he makes the class entertaining and enjoyable. I received a bad grade in this class because I REALLY slacked off and didn't keep up with the readings, but if you put in some effort you won't have any trouble. This was probably my favorite class because EVERYTHING you learn can be applied to your everyday life...this class really teaches you valuable information for dealing with conflicts in your life. Take this class and learn something important
