Comment:
Malinoski is intimidating, but he knows the graphic design field. He's devoted, and he's got a lot to teach. It can be hard at first, but if you listen to his advice and do your work you'll be fine. An A might be hard to get, but if you really work, it's definitely doable and you'll learn a lot.

Very hard and intimidating, not for everyone. Painstakingly organized and good at his work. Incredibly high expectations. I had a hard time relating to him, but I know some people who loved him. What can I say? He's good for some, but definitely not for everyone.

Comment:
His class is challenging, which is great, but he's really pretentious. When he is talking, I pretend it's Rob Carter saying the words just so I can stomach listening. He gives very little feedback.

GREAT teacher. He's challenging and has high expectations. Do quality work, turn it in on time, and really think about the project..participate in discussions! He is as much interested in your process as much as the final output. You will learn a lot in his class!

This is the best design class I've taken at VCU. Malinoski is hard, but such a great instructor. If you're not in a class that challenges you, then why take it at all? If you love type, are receptive to criticism, and actually want to learn something, Take This Class. Some of my best work was produced in Type I. I only wish he taught more classes.

I admire the man...but he falls a little short as an advisor. And by a little...I mean he was no help at all.

Nice person. Very professional, understanding, open minded, and challenging. Sometimes he surprises his students, who are often overwhelmed by his authority or character. Standards for grading are sort of abstract but reasonable.

Malinoski needs to understand that design school is an accelerant to make a student capable of entering the professional world after 3 years of classes. Instead of providing clear examples and taking the time to explain the details of design, Malinoski gi
