Shes an easy A you just show up and sit there. Dont even really need to write notes since the powerpoints are online. Just bring your headphones and wait until the end of class because its boring but so easy to pass. All the tests are take home.

Skip class? You won't pass.

It's nearly impossible to fail this class with the amount of extra credit she gives. Everything on the powerpoint is on the test. And the best part, the test is open notes, and you could leave and come back to it. She's honestly the best, TAKE HER! Only con is 2 papers that are due at the end of the term. But she assigns them the first week.

She was wonderful! This was the easiest class I've taken this term and she was great and cares for her students. There are a few tests and 2 essays that you have the entire term to do. The tests are based on the powerpoints and you have a week to do the tests. The PowerPoints are available until the test is due.

Professor Locke-Williams is awesome truly! Her tests are open notes, theres 2 essays due which arent difficult and if you turn them in early shell give you 20 extra credit points for each of those assignments. If you do all extra credit, pass tests, perfect attendance, shell exempt you from the final! An amazing teacher and she makes class fun!

This professor was amazing. Her class was not hard at all. Yes, you had assignments and 2 major essays but for the essays if you turned them in a week earlier, you would automatically give 20 extra points each. Her class is laid back and is not a hard grader at all. Her PowerPoints were available during test and had all the answers and some on book

She's very funny, is passionate about her subject, and offers extra credit. Her textbook is just required for online materials and extra credit, we didn't use it at all because her PowerPoints are suffice. You need to see a live performance for the final paper, or use videos she provides. Overall great professor, helped me a lot!

Wow one of my favorite professors. Knows her stuff and traveled a lot. She is also hilarious and can take jokes. Class is lectures. Write the notes and the test are open book/notes. Offers exam credit for exams on Connect (if you buy the access code). One paper at the end of the semester. No Complaints, if you don't take her you're missing out.

Tons of extra credit and her lectures aren't boring. Erika Locke-Williams knows her stuff and is extremely organized, if you're ever behind, her outline of the class will get you back on track. The only heavy writing assignment is the research paper, but she gives you months to complete it. She's funny, considerate, and has passion. Take her class!

Prof. Locke is a great professor. She is funny and she tries to make it interesting. She does make the classes unnecessarily long and attendance is graded, but overall her class is laid back. Her tests are easy and she gives so many extra credit opportunities. You have to get the Magraw Hill thingy, but those assignments are optional. Take her!

She submits PowerPoints based on her lectures that you can use as a guide on all assignments and tests. Assignments were pretty easy and she was very informative on everything in her lectures and you could tell she was very passionate about music. She doesn't accept late work so make sure to be on top of all assignments then you should get an A.

I took her MUL1010 fully online. Each week was just a few slideshows, and I just took notes on each one and then there was a test each week on the slideshows. The questions get a bit specific, but it isn't that bad. She also gives lots of chances for people to catch up on work later in the semester, but it shouldn't be too hard to stay caught up.
