He is arrogant and narcissistic, but what liberal elitist isn't? At least he's open and honest about it.

Wouldn't take again

Dr. Lockett is okay, but I would not go out of my way to take another class with him. I felt like I ended up learning more about his personal life than actual course content, which some people find approachable/friendly, but I just feel like we pay way too much in tuition for that. The course/content itself was pretty cool and interesting though.

I always had a great time in lectures with Dr. Lockett. Found him to be very funny and beyond passionate about the course material, which was great considering it was Lord of the Rings. I thought the assignments were fun, but graded much more harshly than I was used to. It kind of threw me through a loop I wasn't expecting. A good prof otherwise!

Really nice guy, knowledgeable and open-minded, but acts more like a peer than a prof. Doesn't seem to care about the student experience (giving feedback, marking assignments, replying to emails). Very frustrating if you're a keener.

Lockett is a pretty good guy who goes into detail about the required readings to help you understand. He is a tough grader but if you go to his office hours he'll explain his critiques to you. Barely uses D2L and keeps attendance so I probably go to class. Doesn't give out many essays/assignments and is late when handing them back. Loves sarcasm

Lockett is a super nice, and helpful prof! He has clear grading criteria and is very approachable. His lectures can be quite dry, however, he is funny and engaging!

Dr. Christopher Lockett is a great prof, his lectures are good (for the English department). he tries his best to learn every student's name. he seems to really care for his students and work. the only downside is that he is prob 3.5/5 for grading difficulty, but he does give some great advice on how to fix your grade.

I'm not even going to be chill about this, Dr. Lockett is one of my favourite profs. This is the third course I've taken with him. Dr. Lockett is incredibly knowledgeable about the subject. He gives really interesting lectures, though this class was based mostly on discussion. Also, he's really funny and approachable. A great prof.

Christopher Lockett was a great professor! I went into it as an American Literature requirement and ended up enjoying it more than I thought. He is very friendly and gives good advice if you make use of his office hours. He takes attendance, so that is mandatory, and he is sometimes late on handing back grades. And his lectures were entertaining!

If you could be friends with him then you'll like him as a professor. If he thinks you want to be his friend he'll like you back. That sums up Lockett.

I really enjoyed having Dr. Lockett as a prof. His lectures were very interesting and made the 9am class worth it. He's also really funny which made the class even more entertaining. A lot of reading material but I thoroughly enjoyed everything on the reading list. I would take another class with him.

He can come off a bit scary/cold especially to a first year student, but he is actually very helpful. Some instructions for assignments can be unclear, but if you ask questions, you'll be fine. Assignments were enjoyable and offered a lot of bonus marks for submitting early / on time. G/A's have helpful feedback. Lots of reading + viewings.

I have never had a worse professor, and I say that with all due respect. There are pop quizzes literally every single class on top of attendance checking, to ensure attendance is maintained. The lectures, however, are weak as prof struggles to stay on topic most of the time. Nothing is uploaded online and he does not even accept online submissions.

Doesn't respond to emails, very frustrating in the case that I was unable to hand in an assignment on the due date as I was sick and couldn't attend class or office hours that day. The weekly quizzes are fairly hard as there is no online notes to help prepare and he goes off topic in lectures making it hard to write my own notes

Lockett is awesome and makes my early morning lectures engaging and fun. He is very accommodating and accessible outside of class, but if you want feedback you will have to go to him directly which I highly recommend and he provides excellent feedback. Such an awesome professor who can make any lesson fun.

This class was a nightmare. Lockett is extremely unorganized, going off topic but making it unclear when he goes back ON topic each class. Extremely hard grader, and you really need to become friends with him if you want to be successful in this course. Something due every class including weekly quizzes. There was a final exam AND paper. AVOID!!
