Very good math teacher. She is very to the point and very willing to explain things over and over again until you understand. She gives great reviews for the test, your quiz grades come from writing a problem on the board before class and doing test corrections, and she never gives you busy work! Highly recomend her.

Thought the class isn't hard, you do have to work to make a good grade. But, she gives you plenty of opportunities through test corrections, and quizes (you just write a problem on the board, and it counts towards your final quiz grade) to make your grade up. She is very informative, and doesn't give busy work. Great teacher, get her if you can!

I would recommend this teacher to anyone. She explains everything she teaches in detail. If you have questions about the optional homework that she assignes, she will explain that and take up as much time that is needed to answer everyone's questions. She can be sacastic at times, and if you don't like sarcastic people, then don't take her.

Ms. Lockwood is not the best teacher in my opinion. Cool person - very sarcastic (which i think is great!), but didn't explain the material well. She rushed through everything so quickly. She obviously didn't want to be there anymore than we did, but it made for some difficult self-study. Not bad if you are't too lazy.

The only reason i put her clarity at crystal is because you can clearly read the textbook supplied power point slides. Other profs and the math dept. dean agree power point is not the way to teach any math class. Don't ask questions, she will just show the slide and not go any further. Worthless as a teacher and a wart on SHSU's butt. Get a tutor.

I have to admit I didn't think there would be any way I could pass this test and I was intimidated by her at first, but when you show her your efforts and work as hard as possible for a good grade she will help you succeed in this class.

Has a different approach when teaching. She will have alot of homework to help you get as many points as possible. She is understanding and will come off as not acessible but that is not the case at all. Her reviews are a little different than the test but still good practice.
