Easy A, I had fun in that class and if I was to take anoher music class definitely would be with her
this was a very easy class to take. she lets you use the book on the tests and she will email you notes if needed. Very Cool Teacher!!! Highly Recomended
Fantastic teacher! Always fun, enjoyed her class!
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR!!!!! Best teacher I ever hard, her tests are easy, very helpful. She knows her material, if you want to have a great experience in learning about music take this class. I promise you want regret taking this class!!
very easy relaxed and easy going 4 assignments and lots of take home tests!!!
The best teacher @ pbcc, if you don't know it's b/c you haven't taken her class. She is very friendly, knowlegable, and understanding. I highly recommend her to everyone..
She is very understanding and is willing to work with you if you take the initaive.
Very easy class. she makes it easy for you to pass. just attend class and complete the few assignments that she gives and you are sure to pass. Tests are open book. Excellent professor. She makes the course interesting.
I loved this class. Because I took her in the summer, every test was take home and we never stayed the whole 3 hours and 45 minutes. The longest we were in class was a hour and a half. She is really nice and positive. Acouple little assignments that took 10 minutes and a live performance critic and a 4 page research paper. EASY EASY A!!!
I took this prof based on comments here but she is really hard and a tough grader. Do not take if you need an easy A. Nothing is easy with her!
she is very helpful very caring, laughs and jokes a lot. seems to be very cool outside of class also.
Nice short classes if everyone agrees. Test are open book but over 100 questions and difficult. Complete all assignments on time and be exempt from final exam with an "A" average. Oh Yea!
She is a very nice teacher. Very positive and Fun. We never stay the whole class and she e-mails you all the powerpoints we use in class. The book is not required but I recommend you getting it because all her texts are open book I received a "A" in her class and was exempt from the final. I recommend everyone to take her mul 1010.
Reasonable and down-to-earth professor. Each section has one homework assignment and one test. The test is open book, but long...110 questions minimum. There is a four page research paper and a two page critique of a live musical performance to do. Personally, I enjoyed the class very much and learned alot.
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!! AS LONG AS YOU GET THE BOOK AND GO TO CLASS HER NOTES ARE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOOK. AND ALL THE TESTS ARE OPEN BOOK OPEN NOTE!! EASIEST CLASS EVER!!!
She is a fun teacher. There was a lot of laughing in the class. Favorite teacher by far!
Easy A. She is a great teacher, very down to earth. Had MW 6 - 945 in the summer but NEVER stayed the whole way through. Take home tests are all multiple choice and true/false and almost directly from the book. 3 papers are assigned as well but as long as you work on them from the get go it's not too hard. Exempt from the final if you have an A in
Professor Locke-Williams is a great, wonderful, easy, down to earth person.She really loves her music. Keep up the good work Professor
Great teacher!!! She is very nice and down to earth. Lets you use open books for tests. Easy A just attend class do assignments and good on your tests.
Great Professor. Fun class. You learn a lot about music and she compares music of today with music in history.
def an easy A. all tests are open book and she is really cool. the class is a little boring but prob better than the other music classes. i would def reccommend her to everyone!
AWESOME PROFESSOR... SHE'S YOUNG, HIP, CARING, INTELLIGENT, AND A GOOD EDUCATOR.! WOULD RECOMMEND! A++++++
I didn't really enjoy the class but it is an easy class.
she is hot, got an A plus, really know her stuff, just go over note, open note test somethings, etc
Super Woman!!!
If you are looking for an easy A take this course or if you really love music. I recommend looking around if you want a challenge. I think David Gibble would be a challenge because personally he is in my opinion tougher. That is my opinion if you are into music and a challenge.
She knows music front to back, teaches very well. No stress, take this class if you want an A. She is always ready to assist her students. Text book required for open book tests. Follow each chapter and test is a b c.
This teacher is AWSOME, she is the easiest teacher I have ever taken. I got an A in this class with no problem. The test are open book, open notes and she emails you the powerpoint she used to teach the chapter on and you can use it for the test also. At the end of the semester if you have an A average and all work turned in your exempt from final
If anyone get a B in this class something is seriously wrong with you. Easy is to mild to describe this class. No tests,all the grades comes from homework. Two papers required a research paper and recital paper. Take her if you want an A.
She is a great teacher. Easy "A". Has a great sense of humor and makes the class interesting! Taker her.
This class is an easy 'A'. She makes the class fun and even for those who miss tests or deadlines, she warns you ahead of time and tells us that we are all adults, and if you miss a test or assignment, you don't have to explain anything. But then she says, "Take your zero with PRIDE AND DIGNITY"...
EASY A. You must attend class to get the notes and take the tests. Everything is open book/note. It's somewhat boring but EASY. I recommend her.
VERY EASY! it's all powerpoint - and you don't even need to copy the notes. Test are open book/notes and the answers are RIGHT OUT OF THE BOOK! very very easy!
Amazing teacher. She is fun and lets you out early almost every class. Makes his class enjoyable! Must buy book because the tests are open book!
she's a very good teacher..knows her stuff..pay attention in class, take notes, also make sure you have a textbook and you wont fail..
Awesome Teacher! I wasn't interested in the class but she made me like it. I actually learned some things about music. Very fair grading methods, homework and tests are easy if you pay attention in class and take notes. I took her six week summer course and it was the right decision. Easy A but I also learned alot!
It really doesn't get easier than this. At first it was interesting but after awhile class got extremely boring. In class you don't even need to take the notes. On test day just bring your book and ALL the tests are open book. The test questions come straight from the book; the lowest grade I got on a test was a 97. Don't show up late for a test!
Very easy class. It's all tests and two research papers that aren't so bad. Open book/notes test, don't be late for it. "take your 0 with pride and dignity" if you are late. The actual material wasn't interesting but she somewhat made it interesting. Overall, I highly recommend her.
She is an easy teacher if you make it to class ON TIME every class. Do not expect her to have any sympathy though if you're half a minute late and miss a quiz, no matter what the reason. She does have a bit of an attitude that I didn't encounter myself but I noticed which I found very unprofessional. Don't talk to her & you'll be fine :)
Very helpful. All she ask is respect and attendance. able to use notes and textbook on test. This teacher is by far the best teacher I've had. Kudos to her!
The nicest teacher ever! You have open book test and can also use your notes if you take them. And she has a good sense of humor. I learned so much about music and had fun in the process.
My favorite professor at pbcc. All tests are open book and open note. She assigns one paper that requires you to analyze 2 jazz performances (which are free through the school) and she is not looking for anything fancy. I literally got a 100% in the class. Such an awesome lady!
Professor Locke-Williams is the BOMB! She is fair and consistent. Come to class and take notes and you'll get an easy A. The test are open book/notes. Make sure you're not late for class on test day or you can "TAKE YOUR ZERO WITH PRIDE AND DIGNITY".
Love her class. easiest A you can ever get. all test are open book and she even send out the power point if you need it. she do have her rules just show up early to class and you should be fine.
she is a great teacher and her class makes music appreciation fun. tests are all open book open notes.. you have to be dumb not to get an a
OMG, U have 2 b NUTS not 2 take this lady! Does lots of notes 2 keep u from using book. She goes fast on notes, if u miss a class, book comes in handy. All open book tests, 2 easy papers 2 write, then she gives u till 6:45 2 show up 4 test day. If ur attendance & grades r good, u get 2 opt out of da exam! She knows her stuff! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Ok teacher, the entire class is powerpoint and open book/note tests. Literally the easiest class ever. She also always either leaves early or tends to just cancel class altogether. Great filler class for a heavy course load! You only have to write two pages to fulfill the gordon rule for the semester.
OMG, The best teacher in the world I'M TAKING HER FOR JAZZ ALSO JUST MAKE SURE YOU TAKE YOUR NOTES AND BE PREPARED FOR TEST, OR TAKE YOUR ZERO WITH PRIDE AND DIGNITY.....
DEFFF recommend to take her for music appreciation!! Easy A books are open notes/book. 2 papers are fairly easy. Dont know if i remember much but its just an intro music class. TAKE HER!!
OMG...she is the best teacher eveeeerrrrrr!!!! i encourage everyone to take her class! You have to try to get a grade lower than an A...Just make sure your there for the test because she makes no exceptions! she will tell you to take your F with pride and dignity.
OMG the greatest class hate Jazz love the teacher she is the sweetest thing.
Took this class for summer A. Love it. Prof Locke-Williams keeps it interesting, she is interesting and knows her stuff, take notes, attendence is mandatory. Lectures are organized; for the summer we had take home tests and two essays. It's a nice class to take.
She is a great teacher and I would take over again if I had to chose
Great teacher. Easy A if u do all the work. Open book for all test.
Great professor! All the tests are open note and open book! She is a great professor with a great sense humor! Easy A if you do the work. I was not looking forward to taking this class but I am glad that I took it with her. Take her!
Easy A! Test comes from the powerpoints. Open book, open note test.
Easiest A ever. I suggest getting the book because the test questions come directly from the book, and the tests are open note open book. You have to do a performance critique but She gives extra credit and I think it's an "if you do it you get an A" type of assignment. She's really funny and always lets class out early.
Very good professor. Passionate about her topic, easy to work with, and gives a lot of help. You can tell she really cares about her students as she makes sure we all do well on the assignments. That combined with the extra credit she gives, as long as you show up there's no reason why you shouldn't pass
super easy! Every test was a take home test. Copy her notes & they are simply right on the test. She makes class enjoyable. Make sure you're there on time for test day or you can take your zero with pride & dignity. Didn't have to take final or last test because I turned everything in early & had perfect attendance.
THE EASIEST AND THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!! I absolutely enjoyed the entire semester with her and felt like I learned a lot. I appreciate jazz more than ever before. TAKE HER. You wont regret it. All you do is show up, and you'll most definitely pass. I missed classes but still passed with an A+.
Prof Locke-Williams is a wonderful person overall! Tests are open note and super easy. She is always in a good mood and has a sense of humor. Highly recommend!
Professor Locke-Williams is an amazing lady. Very down to earth personality, have great sense of humor, knows her work and she makes the class interesting. Overall the class was easy, easy A and a good class to take for humanity.
This is the best professor ever! You will love her, she expects you to participate but she doesn't ask for much. Her class is pretty simple and straight to the point. She is very laid back and she is very helpful, up front about what she expects you to do.
Great and easy teacher. Tests are open book open notes, you can download her powerpoints and use your computer on the test. Only 2 essays; super easy. Turn the paper in early and she gives 20 points EC for each paper. If you have an A 2 weeks before finals and have perfect attendance you don't have to take the last chapter test or the final.
As most people here would agree, this is a fantastic professor with a background in Jazz and a passion for it. Id take her for another class if i had space on my schedule. Get the book and you get a free A 10/10
Miss Locke-Williams made it very easy to get an A. She gave extra credit assignments, let us use notes, and if we had an A before the final exam it was exempt.
I took her for the summer for only 6weeks and I'm glad I did. all we did in class was go through powerpoints and listen to some music. I didn't pay attention in class; I read my book every single class and never bothered to look up because the powerpoints were online and allowed us to take all of our test home and I still pass with an A+.
Erika Locke-Williams one of the most knowledgeable Professors, her classes are stress free, is a story that she tough, interesting, excited, the best!! Be on time and ready and she will teach you Music as the most beautiful story, Also the concerts in class are magnificent. LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!
MUL1010 with Professor Locke-Williams was the best thing I could do. I didn't know much about music but you really learn a lot in her class. You get to use your notes on the quizzes. You have about 6 quizzes (two are take home)through out the course. Her syllabus is very clear, please use it. She reminds you about due dates and gives extra credit.
Amazing teacher!! It's definitely an easy 'A'. All tests were take home except the first 2! Super easy, sometimes funny, & musical class!! If you want to take a class just for the sake of it, then go for it!!!!!!!!!!
One of the most excellent professors at Palm Beach State College, the class is extremely easy.
She is the easiest teacher i had in PBSC. This class is a very easy A, you can't fail it. Its a lot of paperwork she gives but you have time for the whole semester to finish it so you will be fine. Most of her tests are take home and open book. If you have an A close to the final you don't have to take the final exam. Take her.
Really easy class, she goes over powerpoints every class, tests are open note/open book which is amazing. As long as you show up, and take notes or have your book your set. Two final essays also.
Great professor and the class was straight forward and easy. Make sure you buy a textbook because thats how youll ace your open book/note tests
Professor Locke-Williams is a great professor. She is very passionate about music. Her test are open note/book and very straightforward. She does provide very detailed notes so there is no need to purchase the textbook. She is very knowledgeable, lenient and understanding. DO NOT arrive late on test day or you will get a zero. Easy A/ great class.
All tests are open book, & open laptop. 2 papers which you get extra credit for if you turn in ahead of time. I don't know how you could get anything but an A.
I love this woman. Shes crazy talented and ridiculously smart and witty. She really loves music with all her heart and she seriously gifts that to students in her class. Shes excited to teach about what she loves. Buy your book and bring it to class and youre set! Mind your due dates and attendance. I took 2 classes w: her. I love her
Her class is a breeze. If you need that degree requirement, take her. I honestly just showed up, listened a bit for important key assignments and that was it. You do have a paper due towards the end of the semester about two performances but if you turn it in early she gives extra credit. Take the class, you wont be disappointed.
Easiest class I have ever taken at PBSC. The class period was entirely Pro L-W lecturing to a powerpoint from beginning to end. All tests were open note and she even let us use our laptops to use the PPs. There were 2 essay assignments, a performance critique & a research paper. If turned in early she gave extra credit. A's exempted final exam
Open book/phone/laptop/powerpoint test! Easy A!!! Best Instructor At Palm Beach State College!!!
Easy class, easy going. Got 100% on final and both Projects. Missed 2 classes which brought my overall grade to a 88.9 and she refused to change it. Youd think with understanding the material she would help me out but attendance means more than the curriculum apparently.
Professor Erika Locke-Williams is by far the best Music teacher at Palm Beach State. Her class is heavy lectures. All of her exams are open book and open notes. She even allows you to use your laptop and phones on the test. She demands respect and shows plenty of respect. Attendance is required to pass her class.
Great teacher! Especially easy if you already have an understanding of music theory. Open note tests make it not stressful at all! Overall, great teacher and great class!
5 open note tests. Extra credit is offered through the online book for every test. One research paper and one performance critique (extra credit if turned in early). Helps you find a live performance to attend and if you aren't able to attend she has an alternate assignment. If you have an A by the end of the course, you're exempt from the final.
Professor Locke-Williams is very nice and funny. If you pay attention to her PowerPoint you will do fine on her tests which are all open book! She only requires 2 papers and that you go to 1 live performance on campus. She is an amazing professor!
She is by far one of the greatest teachers I've had so far she knows her material very well, she doesn't dock you being late knowing that we are adults with working lives but if you fail her class you deserve to fail come to class pay attention do you homework and pass your test EAZY A
She isn't teaching much. She's using too many youtube videos. It is very boring class. She giving homeworks/projects without explaining it enough.
Easy A. Generally Music is a very dull topic.
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.
She is by far one of the greatest teachers I've had so far she knows her material very well, however she doesn't dock you being late knowing that we are adults with working lives but if you fail her class you deserve to fail come to class pay attention do your homework and pass your test EAZY A
She's an easy A you just show up and sit there. You don't even really need to write notes since the powerpoints are online. Just bring your headphones and wait until the end of class because it's boring but so easy to pass. All the tests are take home.
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.
Very good professor, she teaches with great passion you can use powerpoints and notes during tests.
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!
She's super chill. Texts are sometimes annoying because they aren't all multiple choice, but they're easy and go along with the textbook. It's impossible to fail if you do your work. Take your class with her, you won't regret it!
Best Professor I ever had!! I love her and she is amazing! I was able to understand her material! Great teacher! As long as you show up and do the work it is easy!
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!
Professor Locke-Williams was a very chill professor. gives a lot of extra credit, her tests are long but are straight to the point and easy. Her lectures ran a little long but it was tolerable. she was such an easy grader. one of the easiest professors i have had.
One of the best professors I've ever had! She is amazing! Long lectures but she tries to make them entertaining as possible. She does offer extra credit if you do not do well on her test's. As long as you keep up and stay on track its an easy pass.
Easy class
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.
The professor was vey understanding and her lectures was on point. We had time to ask questions and participate in class discussions.
By far the easiest class I have taken at PBSC. She is an amazing professor, and the class is SO easy. ALL of her tests are open book open notes, so it is quite literally impossible to fail unless you just don't do it. She is a really fun person as well and wants everyone to succeed.
Highly recommend her, very easy. Lets you use your notes for tests and she also offers extra credit. Be on top of assignments and attendance counts. I would take her again, she was a great professor. If you are looking for a less harsh course and professor I recommend this one!
Would definitely recommend her. Easy class, she's funny and keeps it interesting. All tests are open book, open notes, and you have a week to do them.
super sweet and helpful!! always tried to make her lectures entertaining for her students. super passionate about music and its wonderful to see!!! would 1000% take her class again
Very, very easy course. You will usually have 1 discussion and a quiz or test due by Sunday every week. You can use notes and discussions are graded by completion. The professor is very accessible and very kind! 10/10 would take her again!!
Professor Locke-Williams makes this easy course even more enjoyable. Open-book tests, extra credit, and engaging lectures - what more could you ask for? Unstuck ai was a great study tool too.
Great professor, and a great person. The class wasn't too hard, and you had to do a paper at the end. I took her as a live online class, and she lectures with PowerPoint. She tried to let us out early. Overall, a great professor, as long as you do the work. Wasn't too hard.
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.
I absolutely loved this professor. Teaches well, answers all questions you may have, my class was open note tests which helped a lot. I truly learned very well with her!
