Reviews of professor Michael Childers

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Childers is the best professor I've had in college. He's been supportive, kind, and an amazing teacher. His lectures are easy to follow and it's easy to ask questions. You can tell that he genuinely cares about what he's teaching and his passion is very obvious. I 100% recommend that you take his class if you get the opportunity!

I really learned a lot from professor Childers and was grateful for how quickly he responded to questions or emails. He was incredibly accomodating, considering the pandemic, and created a funny and engaging atmosphere, despite the class being delivered online. If you need to fulfill your history requirements, Professor Childers is your guy!

Childers is the GOAT. Honestly he almost got me to change my major to history just because of how great his class was. 10/10 would recommend taking on of his classes if at all possible.

Childers is a GREAT professor for history. He makes learning fun, hilarious jokes, and the textbook we use is free! Weekly quizzes on canvas but no exams! There is 2 short papers every week but they become routine and easy. Best class Ive ever taken!

Childers made me love history. He teaches so great. You dont even have to take notes or go to class. But its better if you do he really respects it. 15 points a week, 5 point quiz on Mondays and if you go to the lecture he basically gives you the answers. 5 point source analysis on wed. 5 point 500 word essay on Friday. Super easy and chill

A down-to-earth professor who cares about his students. Takes the effort to know everyone's names and personalities (I had a class of 20ish). Class is usually entertaining at the least. If you ask for help Dr. Childers is more than accommodating and very understanding of life circumstances and difficulties. Would have this professor again

Incredibly passionate about this subject. The course forces you to think and is incredibly interesting. The passion rubs off into the lectures as you can see how thoughtfully this class was designed. You read 3 books, 2 of which I thought were very engaging. 11 short reading reflections, and 3 papers (incl. final paper). Highly recommend, take this

I have had Mike for HIST 476 and HIST 492; he is a great professor. I would not take his class if light teasing from time to time bothers you, but he is engaging and wants to see his students succeed. He is an extremely fair grader and assigns interesting books. His NPS class was so interesting and would recommend anyone to take it!

Really good professor. You're not graded by a lot, but everything is relatively easy. Weekly quiz on the reading (not pop quiz), participation, and then a few papers, but if you just put effort in, you'll succeed. Pretty much every day is just a lecture, but they're really interesting and the class is enjoyable.
