TERRIBLE!! Never take him! Although he is nice that's the only good thing going for him. He acts like we are all stupid and should have learned all this already. Not clear on what he teaches us and if you ask a question he won't answer it and expects you to figure it out on your own. I know this is a hard class but he doesn't help at all!!!

Comment:
i had him for lab, this man is a terrible teacher. absolutely terrible. he's a nice man, but shows no interest in whether the students learn the material or not. as if anatomy isn't hard enough! i now have to take the class over again, but it will not be at icc! stay away if at all possible!

People who say they got an A & he is a good teacher are wrong. I have a Masters degree, and I am an A student. I expect much MORE from a teacher. Wait til you take some excellent profs & you will laugh at your response.

You are all whiners! I am an A student, and with studying got an A. My friends who took the class have an A as well. Suck it up and study. He is an excellent teacher and is always willing to help. He, however, does not like students who expect to get an A just for showing up. This is a tough class and you have to dedicate lots of study time!!

worst teacher I have ever had. if you want to pass, you need to literally read the book front to back and take amazing notes on everything he says.

Comment:
OMG!!!! What a joke. He lectures so fast that all you can do is write and understand later. Doesnt answer any of your questions. I will never ever take him again. I had to drop his class because he was not helping me understand the material at all. He talks down to you once you ask a question as if you should already know the answer.

Comment:
VERY VERY RUDE!!! Teaches like he is too good for this college. Teaches like you should already know the material. Lecture notes very difficult to follow. Teaches from an old book, so don't bother with the newer one! NEVER stays in lab, so if you have questions, ask them before he walks out or you're out of luck.

Comment:
i had heard he was a good teacher last semester so i figured i would give him a try. now i haven't had him for lecture so i can't say how he is lecture wise but lab wise...terrible. he has left for most of the duration of the class period at times and doesn't answer questions you ask--guesses at what you are asking rather then listen to you.

Comment:
Roger Malcolm is entertaining. His lectures are fun. He is rude, but who cares. Grow up. The only reason NOT to take this teacher is that your grade will be 10 pts lower than if you took any other teacher of this class, so it doesn't make sense to take him.

Comment:
Mr. Malcolm is BAD. He is a drama queen who slams his students. I wouldn't take him because his tests are not based on the book or the lectures, and the tests are twice as hard as any other biology teacher at ICC. Take this class if you want to work really really hard to get a bad grade. Take Dr. Haner, he is much better. I am an A student.

Comment:
I think these comments are CRAZY! Malcolm is an amazing teacher. If you want to "just get by" then take someone else. If you are really wanting to LEARN the material, take him. He knows the material fron and back and it always willing to help. And just to note, we are all adults, he leaves lab because it is up to US to do it.

Comment:
Watch for grading errors. I went to see what I had missed on one exam and found that he had left 10 points off my score. This also happened to at least one other person in the class. You also may want to invest in the book that corresponds with his lectures (by Martini). Most of the diagrams are from this book, not the required text.

Comment:
I am an A student & hard-working. Class SO not worth it. Impossible to keep up with lecture. Hand-outs-inaccurate-spend hours finding information with wrongly cited pages. Tests-ridiculously difficult/diagrams unclear. He walks out of lab. Frustrating. SPENT MANY HOURS studying-some test answers still a mystery.
