if you are looking for a good nap, take the class. He reminds me of something out of a movie. The most boring class I have ever been in. I never new class could be this boring. Thanks god attendance is not mandatory. Get cheat sheets that don't help.

Ok, all the idiots who complain about how "hard" his class is, just drop out of Rutgers. If you can't handle this class, try community college, or a local McDonalds. I did NOTHING all semester, studied a couple hours, made the 5 cheat sheets, solid A no problem. This is the problem with Rutgers, being a state school, they take all sorts of RETARDS

BORING BORING BORING. Thankfully attendance isn't mandatory. He allows a 5 page typed cheat sheet back and front any size font. This usually doesn't even come in handy though. Exams are short and sweet and there is a curve on the final grade. It's average easiness. Just pay attention in class and take good notes, let the curve do the rest.

for all you kids who treasure ur grades dont take this guy. he can screw over the smartest of the smart with his usually irelevant or awkwardly worded multiple choice questions. 60 multiple choice deciding your whole grade? You decide if you could stand having a whole semesters worth of word be decided by that. he BLOWS.

Economics isnt exciting so no matter who teaches it you're going to fall asleep but having childs really doesnt help! 3, 20 question exams is wat your grade is based on. allowed 5 (front/back) pgs of notes on exams. go to class to get the answers for the questions for discussion b.c. they are on the xam everytime. and so are sample exam q's.

This class is like nap central. He is soooo monotone which makes it so easy to shut your eyes and take a little ciesta. You get to make cheat sheets for his tests which are only 20 questions. Over all, if you make a kick ass study guide then you should be ok. good luck!

This class was so easy with Childs. Theres no attendance, and you dont even have to go because his lectures are from handouts he gives you in the beginning, word for word. yes, he may be boring, but the material is really easy and he lets you have 5 pages of notes for every test. There is no cummalitive final. I got an B and barely put in work

Stay away from this class! There is no attendance, but it is so boring and very difficult to stay awake. His exams are very hard and they are not easy to study for. He doesn't teach anything! He is a cute old man though!

This is all honesty must be the most boring and useless class I have ever had. Personally any class where you sit in a dark room for and hour and a half and listen to him speak witha projector behind him the whole time is never good. Save yourself the time and don't take this class.

Doesn't teach anything! Closes lights so it's extremely difficult to stay awake. Three really annoyingly hard midterms-- obnoxiously worded questions! Don't take Childs!! I warn you! But if you have no choice-- don't make the mistake of not reading!!!!!! He ruined my GPA :(

not interesting at all. If you're going to go to the lectures, instead of bringing your pillow bring your whole mattress because you'll need it.
