Very detailed but very helpful

If you like essays and short answers take this teacher. Watch out for the lab he uses every model. My complaints: wanders off during lab, does not budget his time well so you might be stuck taking two tests back to back. I got an A and so can you. This is a hard class study take good lec. notes.

He was a very good teacer. Lots of notes, LOTS. But prepares you for hard classes down the road. I dreaded taking this class but he made it more than managable.

Mr. Locklin is by far one of the best profs at TC. Yeah he expects you to study and actually apply yourself but welcome to college. His lectures are important since most exam info comes from them. In order get an A or B, you have to go to lab on weekends to study the models.

Taught fairly well, I hear for 2402 he is not as good

He's a good teacher and knows his material very well. Good class to have a study group because of his thuro lectures. Study and show up to class for an easy A.

He knows his stuff and he is a good teacher. Just take good notes and study them to make good grades on the tests. Make sure you study for the quizes! They can really mess up a great test average.

This class was pretty difficult, but like the other person said...Welcome to College! Mr. Locklin will definitely teach you all that you need to know if you plan on being involved in healthcare. I thought that he did a great job explaining things & he draws a lot which I found helpful - You MUST attend class and the lab (on your own time) to pass.

If you aren't prepared to attend class and study outside of class don't take Locklin. He's a GREAT teacher but you have to work for you grade. When he says he doesn't give a curve HE MEANS IT!! Overall he's a great teacher if you study outside of class and never miss a class

Mr. Loklin is not an easy professor, but after taking my third test today, I feel like I am learning so much. I have a friend taking another prof for AP I and she isn't learning as much as we are in my class. If you really want to learn- I would take him. Looking forward to AP II!

He's awesome! I learned a lot.

His class is for people whose aim is to LEARN and not just be lazy, do nothing, and expect to get an A... You will know more than other students who had a different professor (not counting Dr. Morgan). Everything he asks you to do is very doable.

I had Jason Locklin for Anatomy & Physiology I & II during the summer. It was hardcore but I worked really hard and earned A's in both classes. If you are a whiner, don't take this class. If you actually want to be well-prepared for whatever field you're going into, he is a great professor. Hints: use a tape recorder and really focus on his notes.

As long as you study and make a solid effort, you will do well. Everything is from the notes!

He is a wonderful teacher and is extremely knowledgeable in his field. His class is for those who wish to learn. Take good notes, and you will do fine. He is by far the best instructor in the biology department.

I took A&P 1 during the summer, came to class everyday and wrote down everything that he did (he uses a chalk board). I didn't use the textbook once. Utilize the extra time he gives you for lab and write down all the notes. For the essay, I wrote on the test (from memory) what he said, verbatim. Final is comprehensive but optional. Have fun; I did!

He is very good at what he teaches. He just teaches every thing covered in the lab manual. You don't need the book if you take excellent notes in his class. His tests come from the lectures.

Prepare to study at least 10 hrs a week( including lab),more if you take it online.Take good notes,and you will do well. I barely cracked open the book at all in this course, most of the exam material comes from his lectures. Final Exam is EXTREMELY difficult in comparison to the rest.If you have to take bio,hes the best prof to take it from =)

Dr Locklin will definitely prepare you your nursing classes. He doesn't use the book except for a reference. He does give a lot of notes and those notes are your study guide. He is very fair and extremely helpful all you have to do is ask. He only takes attendance once but if you don't come to class then don't expect to pass. I'm glad I had JL

Book reference tool only. Make flashcards, STUDY, ask questions, spend time in lab. These are the ways I pulled an A+ in his class. I'm definitely glad I had Locklin, I feel prepared for the harder classes I'm about to face in the nursing program. Don't miss class EVER. Glad I had Locklin. Very helpful. very smart awesome prof, best ever.

His class is amazing. He does teach a large amount of material at a fast pace, but he is willing to work with you IF YOU COMMUNICATE. He can't read our minds, but if you have questions then ask them. It also helps that during his lab he is quite the bit of eye candy. Very hot. If you take him then you will actually learn something.

HE IS AN AMAZING TEACHER. IT IS A LOT OF INFORMATON BUT IF YOU TAKE GOODS NOTES STUDY AND GO TO LAB YOU CAN GET AN A. HE IS OLD SCHOOL. HE DOES NOT USE POWER POINT. THE TESTS COME FROM THE NOTES YOU TAKE IN CLASS. HE DOESNT TAKE ATTENDANCE BUT IF YIU DONT SHOW UP FOR CLASS YOU WILL NOT PASS.

great professor! highly recommended

this online class ROCKED! dr. locklin explains concepts that are difficult to understand in the book in his lectures that are posted online. it was like attending class but i loved being able to pause and play videos again if i wanted. i highly recommend him. i wish all online classes were this well organized!

HE IS AMAZING! HE IS A GREAT TEACHER. HE ACTUALLY TEACHES YOU HOW TO APPLY CONCEPTS AND NOT JUST MEMORIZE THEM. I MADE 100 ON EVERY TEST BUT ONE. THAT TEST I MADE A 91! YOU MUST GO TO CLASS.

This is a very tough class, especially for someone who doesn't know anything about biology(that's me). The lectures are very good and 100% kept my attention. He is very prompt with emailing you back with questions you have. You do need to study your notes. Hard class but great professor. Just study study study.

Very interesting class! This class is only hard if you don't do the work. The Professor is friendly and helpful. He tells you what you need to do to succeed: read the textbook section, watch the lecture, and take really good notes from the lecture. Study your notes until you know the material and you will do well.

He is a truly great professor. His interest in science is infectious! It is not an easy class; you have to really work at it to make an A, but you will retain this information for awhile.

I'm currently taking his hybrid A&P 1 class, and I love it! He's funny in his tegrity lectures, and explains things really well. He's a little bit scattered on topics, but eventually covers everything. I'm making a high A and have made a 100 on both exams so far. STUDY GROUPS ARE EVERYTHING, AND SPEND THE TIME IN THE LAB! It really pays off!

His lectures are sometimes long, but you can tell Professor Locklin loves this subject and the material, so if you listen and work for it you will learn and make a good grade!

Loved his online Biology class!

His lectures are only online and speeds through it in class. You really have to look into the book but some of the material we test on isn't even in the book. His tests are EXTREMELY hard and labs are hard too. He's a great person but NOT a great teacher.

Mr. Locklin is a great teacher he breaks things down so you only learn the things you need to know because there is a lot of information you need to memorize. Even though this was by far the hardest class I've ever had to take I'm glad i took it and that he was my professor. Attending class is the only way you'll pass. Spend time in lab!

Great lectures, doesn't just throw up charts. Walks you through material, to go from basic concepts to the total picture. Covers everything in lecture, exams cover all of the material from class but are not easy. Very, very fair on grading. If you follow his study suggestions at the beginning of class you shouldn't have a problem. Would take again.

Loving this online class! It's the most organized online class I've taken which helps. Dr. Locklin is also very supportive and will help if you seek it out.

Dr. Locklin is a great professor. This class is a very hard course and you have to really want to make an A in order to do so. He gives you everything you need in order to pass and is very knowledgeable. He doesn't use a lot of computer technology to teach, just primarily chalk board so be prepared to write a lot of notes. Very approachable/honest

Dr. Locklin provides very detailed lectures in the amount of about 2 hours per week. Some of the student reviews on here are exaggerations. He presents the information well and in an interesting way. The lab component is difficult and time consuming but expected at a college level course.

Currently in 2401 Hybrid class. Locklin's lectures are structured and he follows the same format for every lecture/makes it very simple to follow along. Fantastic instructor, would gladly take him again. You will have to dedicate time for reviewing material. For those that gave a poor rating, I dont think you understood the expectations of course.

The class is pretty reasonable. Of course you will have to study and put in time in the lab whenever you get a chance. That is what majority of professors require of you - to study. The book isn't really needed much, unless you need to clarify what Dr. Locklin mentions in his lectures. Otherwise, Dr. Locklin's lectures are pretty straight-forward.

Lots of note taking and studying, but well worth it!!

Usually when you see PhD after someone's name at a community college, you can expect entitlement & attitude. Sometimes, however, there is a genuine desire to share knowledge. I feel proud to state he is one of the latter. Yes, you have to study, learn and work. But I found him accessible & willing. Pass his class & you will KNOW the material!

Great professor and interesting lectures. For tests, study about twice as much as you think you should. He responds quickly to questions on the discussion board. The tests are VERY in depth, but an A or B in the class is very doable.

Aspiring medical professionals: I advise that you take Dr. Locklin's courses. ( I've taken two of his so far.) His material will provide a SOLID foundation for this goal. Watch every lecture and if anything was unclear then ask questions. Dr. Locklin ALWAYS responds to ANYTHING on his discussion boards for his class.

I absolutely loved Dr. Locklin as a professor! I came out of his class with a thorough understanding of the material. His lectures focus on processes so that you can really get a good understanding of concepts instead of simply repeating the textbook script. His exams were reasonable if you did your part and studied the material. No surprises.

I took Dr. Locklin for Biology 1406 and Biology 2401. I am currently taking Biology 2402 with a different professor and have to say I miss Dr. Locklin's classes! I am going back to his notes that I took from Biology 1406 for material being recovered because he did so good explaining. At the time, he was also using an aide to help with lab. Amazing!

drops test and quizes, gives credit on exams to make class average

Watching the lectures, taking notes, and paying attention is mandatory to do good in this class. Though there are lab videos online, getting in the lab is FAR more helpful. Put time into the class and you will do good. He does ask questions in a way that you must know the material. Does drop 2 tests and 8 quizzes. Learned a lot and would take again

I took A&P 1 with Prof. Locklin. A&P is generally not an easy class but he gave a lot of chances to pass and make up for bad tests. His lectures may not cover every detail but they are short and captivating. if you pay attention and add a little more work, you should be all good. I took the class from an IT background and a full time job.

Took hybrid summer class with Locklin, I really enjoyed it! However, he is very "hands off" I guess you could say, so be sure to do lots of studying, reading, watching lectures. Find a buddy to spend time in the lab with, that is a must! He drops 2 exams and 8 quizzes, which is helpful. Do your part and it'll be a great class!

I liked Dr. Locklin. This was my first online class and I enjoyed it. The grades were: 20%- 53 quizzes. 60%- 6 exams. And 20%- final exam. (He dropped 5 lowest quiz grades and 2 exams) Quizzes were over the lecture videos and you can even use your notes! Exams were pretty difficult, but not impossible. Manage your time well and youll do fine!

A&P is hard, but I enjoyed having Locklin. Graded by exams and quizzes (1 exam & 3 quizzes dropped). It is lecture-heavy, BUT whatever is on the exam will come from his lectures. He is not responsible for what is on the exam but I believe he does a great job of teaching the material. Extra credit for discussion posts, gives curves if necessary.

He teaches well and answers all questions in discussion board. GO TO LAB. If youre online you need to go at least 3 times before each test. 100+ questions so study BOTH lab and your notes. Reading the book also helps.

Dr. Locklins class was by far my favorite because it was challenging. His class is lab heavy so be sure to get in the lab as often as possible to make the grade. His lectures are his tests and quizzes so be sure to be attentive. I would be creative with study measures to solidify the material. Good luck!

Do not wait until Sundays to do your lectures and quizzes as I did! The tests cover the lectures, the book is somewhat helpful for imagery and charts however take good notes because that is what the test is over. He gives extra credit on tests and drops your lowest test and quiz grades. STUDY STUDY STUDY!

Anatomy is hard no matter who you take it with. You really have to put in the time each week to pass this course. Professor locklin adds a 10 point curve to every exam and drops your lowest exam grade and two quizzes. His lectures (2-3 30 minute videos every week) reflect what will be on the exam. If you are online you cannot neglect the lab part.

A&P is a difficult class but Professor Locklin provides everything you need to succeed. The material is split up into weekly modules with lectures and quizzes which come directly from the videos. The exams match his lectures, he gives curves and he drops your lowest exam grade & 2 quizzes. STUDY LAB! This class is very manageable if you study.

This class was definitely one of the hardest courses that I've taken in college, but it was worth it after staying diligent and focused. I believe Professor Locklin is a friendly instructor and he really wants everyone to succeed in his class! Be sure to spend adequate time on both the lecture and lab sections to prepare for upcoming exams.

If you have to take anatomy...I could not recommend Professor Locklin enough. A and P is a hard class to take, but he makes the expectations very clear, provides very informative lectures and is always available to answer questions (and very quickly). Flexible when it came to proctoring my exams (out of state student). Great professor.

This is a tough class regardless of who teaches it but Dr. Locklin gives you opportunities to exceed. Grades on a curve, has lots of questions on tests so they aren't rated as heavily, very accessible online, quick response times. Live in the lab.

I cannot say enough good things about Professor Locklin. A&P is a tedious subject and requires lots of time outside class but Dr. Locklin makes the lectures intriguing and knows what he is talking about. His teaching style is clear and does not try to trick you on exams. Probably one of my most favorite professors.

This class had a lot of information to learn in a short period of time. In order to pass the tests you absolutely have to study. There is no way to pass the test without studying. He is very understanding and will help you to the best of his ability. His lectures and textbook always have the content you need to know for the exams.

The only reason im not taking Dr. Locklin for a&p 2 is because he does not teach it. It was HARD yes but its a&p its going to be hard with any teacher.his exams are about 140 questions and half are lab, he gives you EXACTLY what you need for lab. its not an easy A by any means, you gotta put in the work. 10/10 hope his meals are always hot, lol

Anatomy is tough, but Professor Locklin makes it manageable. His lectures are clear, and the exams align well with the content. Definitely use the study lab - unstuck ai is also super helpful for preparing. Stay on top of the material and you'll do well.
