A lot of people complain about Lockwood, but I think he's a brilliant professor. The subject matter for BZ 220 is a little boring, and he talks about a mile a minute, but if you actually listen to what he's saying it's easy. You do have to go to class for the fill in the blank notes. I played Candy Crush a lot in class and still got an A...

He talks insanely fast but you do not even need to take notes to do well in the class as long as you somewhat listen to what he says. The study guide is essentially the test so study those. And he is a genius so he talks about interesting things.

Tests are do-able if you print out notes/sit in front. He is very passionate about biology and tries to make the class interesting.I-clickers daily and partial points for correctness. They helped my grade a lot. The online quizzes also help boost your grade and 1 test is dropped. Final is 50% cumulative. Textbook was helpful but not necessary.

His Life 320 course was my favorite course of my college career. His real world questions on exams and homework taught me more than definition regurgitation. He is more than willing to help, and also gives straightforward advice. I would take another course of his in a heartbeat. This man loves to teach.

Dale was an amazing professor for his half of the course. The tests could seem tough, but totally fair and straightforward. Super nice, and approachable.

Wonderful professor. He gives you everything you could need for exams in the notes and even puts all the powerpoint online. Lectures were awesome, funny enough to keep you interested and packed full of interesting information. I knew what was expected on exams and in lecture. He wants to help everyone pass, book is extremely beneficial.

Dale is the smartest person I've ever met, the amount of knowledge he has is astounding. I found his lectures funny and interesting, LIFE 320 was my favorite course this semester. He does speak very quickly and his tests and homework assignments are difficult. Highly recommend him as a professor though.

Dale is my favorite teacher at CSU so far. he's a little crazy and out there but i am obsessed. i highly recommend him for any class that he teaches. I have taken life 103 and yes 101 from him and can't wait to take more. he is the director for my minoring program which makes it all the better. I LOVE YOU DALE.

He's a fantastic Ecology professor and if you have the chance at all, you should take his course. His lectures are fantastic and the homework isn't that hard. But all the information is entirely in the lectures. If you can learn from listening really well it's easy. If you can't be present/engaged in lectures, you're gonna have a bad time.

Dr. Lockwood is very passionate about what he teaches and makes it more understandable by bringing into lecture his real-life anecdotes of encounters with different organisms. He also likes to show a lot of pictures and models, which he thoroughly explains, in lecture-These show up exactly as he described them in his exams. Overall, awesome dude.

Lockwood is a good professor, he goes through notes and talks really fast so I suggest printing out the notes. He's a classic Biology professor, dry sense of humor, goofy but very smart. You definitely have to work for this class but overall not too bad.

I loved Lockwood so much! His test are very hard and don't just come straight out of the slides so study as much as you can (unlike me) but he is an amazing teacher. He keeps you engaged and he makes you laugh all the time. I would love to take him again!!!!

Lockwood is hands down the best professor I've had. He is extremely passionate about Ecology and makes every lecture interesting. If you attend lecture and complete the clicker questions you'll get the material down for his exams. The homework comes from the book and it time consuming but not too challenging.

Lockwood was a joy to have for LIFE103. Read through the chapters before lecture and review your notes if you want to get a solid grade in the class. One day he stopped lecture to straight up roast two girls who wouldn't stop talking over him and it was amazing. Much shade was thrown at these two unsuspecting gals. Anyway, great prof, good exams.

Dr. Lockwood is a fantastic professor! He is a very effective teacher and he really cares about what he is talking about. Dr. Lockwood makes it very easy to understand what he teaches and the exams are very reasonable. Great professor!

Dr. Lockwood is a true gem of Colorado State University. The man is such an inspiration, he makes you want to go home and study just so you can be fractionally as smart as him one day. His knowledge on topics all over the board of sustainability is astounding, and conversations with him are a real pleasure. I would absolutely recommend him.

Lockwood is an excellent professor he clearly knows what he teaches and has a lovely sense of humor. Show up to class and do the iclicker points and you should do fine on the tests.

Very intelligent man he almost makes you feel dumb. Having him in GES was fantastic, he really got me motivated about the subject. He does talk fast and I started typing my notes because he talks so fast. Overall really great professor unless you hate the subject.

Extremely intelligent person and the lectures were super interesting. If you're interested in environmental sustainability this is an awesome intro class!

I love Dr. Lockwood! I loved LIFE103, and he presented the material in a really interesting way. Most of the tests are based off lectures rather than the textbook, and he posts all of his slide notes online. Going to class for clicker points is definitely necessary to do well in the class. I highly recommend Dale as a professor!

This was a hard class. The homework assignments were worth 100 points and they were so hard. Id spend hours doing them every week. His tests were multiple choice but they were very hard. He was very specific about what he was looking for. Overall. He was very knowledgeable and loved Ecology.

Dr. Lockwood is a super enthusiastic and passionate teacher, which makes listening in his class super easy. He does speak super quickly so be ready for that, and his tests and homeworks require a lot of thought. Start off strong in this class in order to stay on top of it.

Very few assignments (though a couple major ones), and weekly quizzes based off of the slides. If you attend the lecture, you don't even need to study for exams.

Dale has a great sense of humor and I enjoyed his class very much, would recommend! Tests are difficult, and there is a fair amount of homework even though the content in class is not especially difficult to understand. Make sure to show up to class since there are participation points, and the textbook is not necessary to succeed.

- Textbook is key to exams - Participation mandatory - Lecture heavy - Homework heavy Take this class if it is for your major, or applies to your interests. If you're just taking it for the hell of it, you will struggle and be miserable. Lockwood is an amazing guy, knowledgable and passionate.

Overall, I think Dr. Lockwood is a great professor & I enjoyed his sense of humor. However, I think because he's so brilliant it's hard for him to relay information in a way that makes sense to us normal people. The test questions are frustratingly specific, so you need to understand how pieces fit into the bigger picture. Conceptualization is key.

Professor Lockwood is very passionate about what he teaches which makes his lectures so much more interesting. Being in lecture is very important for clicker points and understanding material. Textbook not necessary but helpful for studying.

Lectures were very loaded. If you write everything down that he says in lecture youll have 30+ pages of notes per exam. There are 2 exams, each is worth 5% of your final grade. So you can do bad on them and still be fine. 30% of your grade comes from a final poster. Poster takes about 1 hour of research, 1-2 to put together to took nice. Good class

He's such a nice guy, has his funny moments. He does Iclicker questions, which can really bring down your grade if you don't go to class. His lectures are quite specific and long, but all the material covered is on the tests.

Prof. Lockwood is wonderful and I would recommend any course taught by him. He cares about the success of his students so much more than I have seen in a lot of other professors. There was a shortage in exams in my section and he was so quick to make it up to us and he was understanding, compassionate, and apologetic which really stood out to me.

extremely lecture heavy course. An easy A for the most part. Dr. Lockwood is a very smart man with a lot of knowledge about environmental issues, but lectures are often dry. However I highly suggest this course over SOC220 global environmental issues. I learned a lot more from GES with Professor Lockwood.

Dr. Lockwood is a great professor. As a premed major who couldnt care less about animal/plant biology, he made the course as interesting as he could and you can tell he really cares about the content of his lectures.

Dr. Lockwood was a really cool professor, and he usually had some good stories to tell which kept lectures interesting. I will say that the exams are pretty difficult so study hard for those. Other than that he was super nice and I enjoyed his class a lot!

Dr. Lockwood was decent. He goes very fast in his lectures because he is covering a lot of information so be prepared to write fast. We had 3 exams and a final which covered a lot of information. The exams were pretty challenging so be ready to study. Responses to emails were also very slow and lacking. Takes a while to post lecture recordings.

Great Professor, always very passionate about the subjects and always very enthusiastic.

This class is very lecture heavy but he's an interesting professor. He has lots of personal stories and will gladly answer any questions. He's an easy grader but he will not answer your emails. The topics covered are very broad but very interesting and relate to the real world. He does the occasional iclicker question so I suggest you show up.

The lectures were so interesting. He has a passion-- he talks so fast, and he will answer everyone's question in detail. He didn't even get through everything in the semester. The rubrics were vague, but because it was graded easily (an intro class, too). He provides a study guide, and the homeworks were simple. He is a scientist and experienced.

Dr. Lockwood teaches the class very broadly -- you cover a *lot* of the terrain of population math. His lectures are interesting and well done, but on Fridays there are paper presentations, and frankly all but one went way over my head, and I did not get much out of the experience of reading things I couldn't understand. Excellent teacher though.

Decent professor and his class was fairly easy but had boring/ depressing lectures at times. I took an AP environmental science class and it was harder than his class. Need to check the syllabus for tests & final info because he won't tell you until right before. During my class, he had online lectures & tests. Assignments crucial to a good grade.

Dr. Lockwood is a great professor and keeps his lectures interesting with jokes. The class goes over a lot of information, but everything that is on the tests comes straight from the slides. He does talk really fast in lectures so be prepared to write/type quickly.

Dr. Lockwood is great! The course is very easy to understand if you take the time to read over the slides and watch the recordings if you missed a class or all of them. He is very passionate about what he does and gives lots of things to help you study for the exams, like a study guide and homework quizzes.

Dr. Lockwood is very passionate about what he teaches. The tests he gave were relatively difficult just by virtue of how much information was being tested, and homework was graded somewhat harshly. However, going to his office hours really made a difference in the latter. Lectures were entertaining, but went by quickly.

Dale Lockwood as a scientist is one of the smartest men I've ever met. He knows what he's talking about, he's able to elaborate on a subject if needed, etc. However, for the class overall, it was far too lecture heavy. The material is too much and I didn't meet a single person who studied after the first test. Not enough recollection material.

He may go on tangents sometimes, talk really fast, and breeze through slides, but all that really meant for me and some peers was changing how we took notes - the content he gives and his clarity is really good. I-Clicker is here which can be annoying, but the questions are pretty simple. His exams aren't great, though; specific questions.

Attending lectures and taking good notes is extremely important if you want to pass the exams because they can be very challenging. However, he really cares about what he is teaching, and it is inspiring and makes lectures fun.

I'm sure he is an amazing professor, but his lectures were hard to follow. He is very monotone and pauses a lot. Get ready to take notes on what he says because he often uses direct quotes on quizzes and exams. I'm still waiting on my final to be graded, and will pass with a B minimum, but mainly due to the animal lectures, not his plant lectures.

This was a great class. There is iClicker for an attendance grade. Lowest exam score and two lowest quiz scores get dropped. Overall a good class and was not work heavy.

He gives great lectures and enjoys teaching. However, I found his tests really difficult. There're also very few assignments in the class, you're graded on exams, quizzes, and in class participation. His study guides for 30 question exams often had over 100 terms so It's hard to know what to study for. Overall, a good professor though

Dr. Lockwood is a really good professor. His lectures are very informative but he does cover a lot of content throughout the semester. His tests are difficult, but easy if you study good. He usually re-uses quiz and iClicker questions on exams, so going to class is recommended. Don't buy the textbook, it's not worth it at all.

Lectures can be really interesting-- Dr. Lockwood often finds a lot of really interesting connections between lecture topics and applied real world situations. The exams are difficult and require students to apply learned topics beyond just definitions or meanings. I would recommend studying for exams at least a week in advance!

Took a summer course with Lockwood. Exams were all written response and he was very generous with partial credit. Gave a lot of examples and focused on application of concepts vs memorizing defintions.

Great Guy. Really Passionate about Environmental Science

Dr. Lockwood is an incredibly passionate teacher especially when it comes to Climate Change. We always feel comfortable asking questions. Attendance isn't mandatory. HOWEVER, iClicker questions randomly appear in his lectures, and if you consistently miss participating in them, they affect your grade. So, attendance is mandatory to a point.

I really like this professor, but I think he makes this class harder than it really needs to be. The content is interesting, but the homework is kinda wack and difficult, and is graded harshly. He is such a nice guy and gives extra credit opportunities and has dropped exams and assignments. If you put the effort in this class you can get an A.

Easy and fun class! Simple in terms of grading and assignments. Lecture heavy with some small projects such as a book critique and a couple hours of volunteer service required out of class. Two easy multiple choice exams in total.

Lectures can be engaging, but the exams are quite challenging. Attendance is mandatory and iClicker questions are used. Avoid the textbook as it's not essential. Utilize Unstuckstudy alongside other study resources to prepare for the exams.

Dr. Lockwood was alright. The lectures can get a bit confusing sometimes in terms of relevance. The study guides were confusing as well but overall, I would take his course again. He was very passionate about what he was teaching regarding environmental sustainability. He provided multiple projects for extra credit as well.

Lockwood is a great professor, his lectures are interesting and engaging plus he is funny. His exams are very straight forward from the slides. Iclicker in class for participation points. He offered a few extra credit opportunities also. There isn't much work in this class other than a quiz every few weeks.

Super sweet dude, loves his job

Take good notes! I didn't see a ton of people writing down lecture content, which explains the low exam averages. Lockwood was very funny and stuck around after class to answer questions.

Good professor, explains things well, passionate. Sometimes would snap at students who talked loudly in class, but that was rare. Solid amount of extra credit.

Lockwood is a super chill guy who is passionate about what he teaches. However, there seems so be a lot of disconnect between what he says in class, what is on the study guides, and what appears in exams. It feels as if someone different has written each thing, or perhaps they were written years apart from one another.

Dr. Lockwood doesn't assign much homework but all of the material you are taught is lecture heavy so be sure to be vigilant and take good notes. Easygoing and reasonable. Very passionate about sustainability. Enjoyed his class and I would highly recommend as it's a pretty easy course.
