Malia was a great professor. Lectures were engaging and interesting. A huge part of the course was guest lectures, which were super interesting. It was clear what the final exam was going to test on and quizzes were open book and open note. Overall great prof and course!

370 is primarily based around guest lectures, which, for the most part, are interesting and well-done. All lectures are recorded so you can watch them when you want, and all the exams are open-note without time limits. Malia was a very interesting professor, and I would recommend taking this class with her!

Absolutely amazing human being. Almost all lectures were guest lectures with super cool topics. Super chill and understanding professor. Tests can be a bit tricky/lengthy, but they're not timed and online, which is really nice.
