Steven Malter

Interesting guy, better than the other 201 options for a required class. Had favorites playing fantasy football with some of the guys but generally a nice person. Never interacted with him outside of class. Not the most exciting or useful class, but he's not at fault for that. He cares about the topic and knows what he's talking about

2 or less hrs/week

A fair amount of busy work done outside of class, but a very fair and easyish grader. Very nice professor and very presentation based.

Despite what others say about Malter for 201, he was amazing for Small Business Initiative. The class was more project-based with your client, with rarely any lectures (but when there were it was interesting). A very nice and caring guy who made the experimental consulting class honestly a very fun and valuable experience - highly recommend it!

201 is dull. Typically, I wouldn't fault the instructors for the material they teach but he legit created the class... The grading is ambiguous and subjective, Malter isnt readily available (TAs do all the work), and the lectures are rarely interesting. However, you have to take 201 in Olin and he's easier than Thomas so do with that what you will.

Lectures were extremely boring, and there wasn't much that I got from this class. There's a lot of tedious work, and this class is presentation-heavy, with an individual mini-case and a group final presentation. For someone pretty introverted, this class definitely wasn't easy for me, but the grading wasn't super harsh besides the group project.

Ironically for a communications class, the professor really lacked clear communication. People were confused about assignment expectations. It wasn't clear what we were doing each day. There was no syllabus. The majority of the semester was spent listening to other people's presentations. Malter is a great person, but sadly the course fell short.

He is extremely strict about the participation points which are allocated at the end of the semester, these allow him to basically give the student whatever grade he feels. You could have a 100% on the assignments, but if he didn't like you he will give you no participation points (out of 200)
