He is nice and makes a lot of fun in each class. Clear and understandable. Study lecture-notes before exams. Easy to get an A.
he's young~!! very easy class. just attend the class everyday!! that's it! no homework no hard work. just sit and hear his fun lecture. that's it. for the test, just study lecture note. have fun with him.
His lectures are hilarious and awesome. I thought taking a class at 8 would be a pain, but I looked forward to attending his class everytime. It gets the day going. No homework. Tests are base on his lecture notes. By the way, he resembles Jack Bauer in 24 (Kiefer Sutherland)
HOTEST TEACHER!! easy pass class! No homework! test are from lecture note. don't need book. his lecture is fun. not boring! just have fun!
Super rad teacher. Very easy class. Just come to class for the lecture and you can pass the class. One small paper and all you do is watch a movie and relate it to class topics.
Dont buy the book, never used it. but class is interesting and does not drag. class was 4 hours, but seemed shorter. 1 paper to write, and a group project. good guy too!
cool teacher..hilarious!!!always keep me awake although i attended in his 8am class
Professor Lockwood is my favorite teacher OF ALL TIME!!!!! He is HILARIOUS and his stories are SO awesome! His life is so interesting and you find yourself wanting to know more! Don't even ask about the tests, easy peasy! It's all based on your notes, and I think it's nearly impossible to get lower than a C in his class! Impossible!!
I took him over the Summer, and i'll tell you, i wasn't bothered waking up in the morning to attend his class. He makes everything easy to understand and funny. I strongly recommend you to take him as your teacher.
He is AMAZING! Doesn't teach the traditional method of public speaking, teaches you how to ACTUALLY DO IT and apply it to real life! He has a great energy and makes it easy to sit through a 3 hour class. Plus the textbook is tiny, like 100 pages, and costs around $17. Almost no hw and you talk about things that interest you! TAKE HIM!
i really like professor lockwood. he is so passionate about teaching speech and it radiates! he's funny, enthusiastic and easy going. i would definitely recommend this class, especially if you feel anxious about public speaking. he has a way of helping you learn to relax and enjoy what you're sharing with the audience.
EXTREME EASY. VERY COOL PROFESSOR
I just finished taking his Speech 101 class this summer. He is a great teacher. If you pay attention to the lectures the Test Reviews will just serve as refreshers. The lectures are so interesting that you catch on to everthing he is talking about. You learn such great communications skills this class has helped me in my personal relationships.
Instructor is very knowledgeable on topic. He is very relatable and easy to talk to.
Easy,fun,& I like his attitude.I took him for a one day class and he made it easier for my class bc he took out one chapter and unassigned the group project that the other 2 day classes had to take.Just make sure you print the notes off blackboard b4 class to be prepared to take notes.He teaches by powerpoint.Tests are based on notes & no quizzes.
DON'T BUY THE BOOK BCUZ HE DOESN'T USE EVEN THOUGH HE TELLS U UR NOT GOIN 2 USE IT AT ALL OR BUY IT BUT DON'T BUY IT NEW...
Great Professor, take him! Test are based on his class lectures, so try not to miss. His classes are never boring, hes a very cool professor.
I don't know how anyone could not like this guy, he's awesome. Try to petition his class if you need it for your ge; he tries to take everyone. it'll be the class you actually look forward to sitting through. Four tests and 3 debates is a good deal for a relatively easy A. He also lets you use a cheat card for the tests in case you forget anything.
DONT BUY HIS BOOK FOR ANY OF HIS CLASSES...HE DOESNT EVEN USE IT. at least for 101 and 140 we didnt use even though it said in the syllabus and he says it in the beginning of the semester
He's a cool teacher but his tests are tough. A lot of my classmates got a C, so if you want an easy class pick someone else. You know his test are tough when he has to give you five extra points per test. Don't be fooled by the comments below.
the class was packed the first day. there were about half the class left taking the final today. that tells you how hard he is.
Stay AWAY!!!! very hard, he dosent let you use notes or powerpoint in your speeches so you have to remember whatever your going to say for 6min, there are three 5-6min speeches that you must do, he expects you to remember everything you are going to say without using notes, there are other Public Speaking teachers that are easier. DONT TAKE HIM
IDK why people are saying he's hard! He's not hard at all! Your all just lazy! He's funny & very passionate! Take him!!!
Great teacher!!!currently taking his class really easy course!love his teaching method most people in my class are enjoying ourselves!its so much fun debating!
This is a brilliant professor. He has done some research that is now recognized around the world. Full of energy. You MUST read the book (each chapter at least twice for an A) but then again people that don't read their textbooks are wasting their time in college. Take him!
Awesome teacher. Whether u like voicing ur opinions or not, shy or not, this teacher is great. Very helpful. Dedicated to his students and his profession. Do your research, be prepared, and you're set. I couldn't have had a better teacher. Learned techniques that will help me through out my life not just for class. I highly recommend Mr. Lockwood.
Don't not trust his word. I did well throughout my time in his class and had a consistent B. We did grade checks before the 'W' date and he told me "if you continue to come to class and you do an extra credit argument, you will get an A"... Three weeks and an extra argument later, i receive a B. okay class, just don't trust him.
This class was one of the most interesting classes I've taken. He's a really nice and active teacher. Loved this class. We didn't use the textbook at all though out the year, and he gives you all the notes.
best professor ever
He is really nice and helpful. He provides good explaination, quick email response and understandable.
He cool ! Always be support and listen to student! one of your must take class!
Great teacher, I had no interest in this class whatsoever before hand but he made it fun. Easy class read the book and do your homework and you are guaranteed an A.
I had Mr Lockwood in a leadership seminar @ SAC. It was awesome. I was taking PS. w some other prof. and I was ...like no words. I had him for 2 hours and I learned more in those, than in the whole semester w my other professor.
I had Mr Lockwood in a leadership seminar @ SAC. It was awesome. I was taking PS. w some other prof. and I was ...like no words. I had him for 2 hours and I learned more in those, than in the whole semester w my other professor. I would take his class if needed. It s amazing.
Mr. Lockwood is a great teacher! His class is so fun and entertaining! It is a pretty easy class just show up every class and study the terms to receive a good grade on hw assignments and exams, and do your best on the debates. Highly recommend Mr. Lockwood! He's awesome!
He is a very easy teacher. Show up to class and do your debates. He only gives 2 test online and you get to do it at home. Also the homework is online too. Super easy class. And he's an amazing teacher.
Lockwood is the best Professor for the communications department I have taken him for 140 and finally I passed him in 102 he is just the best there is no questions he is a fair grader and very nice I enjoyed his class because he gives little work, but be prepared for speeches. I'm going to take him for 206 that's how much I enjoy his class. 3 times
East A if you do well on tests and quizzes. He does not help you whatsoever.
From all the classes I have taken with him Gender Communications was by far the best. I learned so much about genders that I now know why homosexuality is a big deal. Get ready for group projects because it is a big chunk of your grade. Mr. Lockwood grades fair and wants you to pass, he is very passionate about his job, and wants everyone to pass.
Lance Lockwood is hands down the best professor I've ever had. He is so passionate about what he teaches and gets you excited about giving 6-8 minute long speeches. It's still scary but he teaches you to give your speeches as if you were just having a conversation with your audience. Amazing lectures, amazing teacher, amazing person.
Most take. I took debate with him and it was fun! You do have to be in front of the class a lot which I hated doing but after the second debate u get over it and it's fun. I took him for summer so it was fast but you do Need the book and to do homework but it's all online and so are exams. I would totally take him again if I needed to
Lance Lockwood is an incredible debate teacher, clear, and tells you exactly how to debate and what to debate. Very fair grader, do the homework, participate in all the debates, and you will pass! I would take him again if my gen eds required it for another course he teaches. Do not miss the opportunity to take him for a class you will love it.
i took him in spring of 2014 and failed then took him again in the summer and passed! everything is online in class you just do debates i wish he would teach more but anyways. tests and hw are online make sure you do well on them!
He is hilarious! i guarantee it will be a fun class, even if you are shy! You will be required to do a speech and a lot of arguing about a topic he chooses. There is also online homework and tests but not a lot. i definitely recommend taking him!
Great teacher class is so fun you debate in class and do the reading and quizzes at home. if you participate and act like you car you'll pass biggest struggle is the online work textbook will help you pass. the test are basically the quizzes and you can retake the quiz many times
Best teacher ever ! When debating be greedy on wanting your team to win be open minded you get more points.
He makes the stress of public speaking less stressful. He is a great teacher and makes the class feel comfortable. He wants his class to learn and get a good grade! Highly recommended! I'd take him again if this wasn't the last class I needed for my degree!
He was ok, but he could have been better. Easy class.
Gender Comm. is one my favorite classes that I've taken at SAC. Lockwood explains material that might be complicated to some in a very straightforward and understandable manner. He assigned good group discussion questions, and easy, but interesting papers. Some drawbacks were he never emailed when class was canceled and he often got distracted.
Professor Lockwood is the best. He is the literal definition of charming. His class was easy and pretty clear as far as grading. Not a tough grader but his teaching style makes you want to do your best. Glad I took him over summer. He's so funny too! Real 10/10 for sure
Lockwood is charming as everyone says BUT I really wish he took sometime to review test questions with us. You will find yourself debating throughout the semester, admit the debates are fairly simple. My issue with this class is the online course work and test that are demanding. I recommend buying the hard copy book to view as you test.
The first few weeks of class, there was some lecture & note taking. Further in the semester, there's no lectures only debate cases. You WILL need the book, you DO need to read in order to complete the online homework & exams, which are pretty tough. Personally, I did not learn anything. He does, however, let you leave early once debates are over
everyone should take this professor he is amazing! took his class for the summer and totally Aced it! very easy class! tests and homework are so easy he gives you a whole week to finish homework. and debates are so much fun even if your shy by the second debate you won't feel nervous at all. he makes you feel very welcome.
I had the privelage of taking professor Lockwood and from the first day of class I knew I'd be enjoying myself. We give 3 major speeches and have 1 midterm, honestly his grading isn't heavy I know my speeches sucked and I still passed but if you at least tried that's all that matters :)
i really enjoyed his class highly recommend
Professor Lockwood's class is my favorite of all time. He is knowledgeable and super cool.
A truly great professor. Engages the students on a comical level. The grading is very straight forward for debates. The tests are super hard... as in holy woah it melts your brain. If you pay attention and do the homework youll definitely get it, but the subject matter is difficult if youre just trying to skate by. Great guy.
AWESOME PROFESSOR, he has high energy, He makes you feel more confident and is very understanding, he is available for any questions you have. I had him for summer and there were lectures, and 4 speeches, no book, and he is very helpful when it comes to speeches, 1 test & do study for it however wasnt too difficult
Amazing down to earth teacher! He exhibits amazing lectures, hardly no homework. Basically show up for class and participate and thats about it. Quizzes are easy to do in textbook, they resemble exactly the online final youve at the end of semester!
This professor is the GOAT!(greatest of all time) he's amazing, funny, and very easy going! Easy A if you're looking to complete some general education requirements.
overrated as a professor. has a ton of knowledge but its clear that teaching debate is the least of his priorities. other priorities impeded on his ability to attend class like vacations, drag shows he hosts etc. he missed 3 classes last semester and cancelled last minute. acts like hes an easy grader and at the end of sem. he fudges the grades.
I was absolutely terrified of public speaking. Professor Lockwood made each class session so much fun. He made it very comfortable and always gave good tips on how to over come the fear of being infront of an audience. I definitely recommend this class to anyone that has a hard time with public speaking.
Professor Lockwood is a great teacher! Speech being my #1 enemy, he made me feel really comfortable speaking in front of the class! He makes his lectures very interesting and not boring at all! I would def recommend :)
Easy class. You do 4 debates. You can do an extra debate per debate period for extra credit. Tests are exactly the same as the homework. Tests and homework are done online at home. One lecture. Lecture needed for first test. Honestly take pictures of the homework to study for the tests. Exact same questions on homework and tests for the most part.
Took his 8 week class, and honestly it was sooo easy. If you fail its probably because your too lazy or you didnt buy the book til last minute. Homework was super easy. Exams are exactly the same as the homework questions. Offers a lot of extra credit opportunities. 3 debates, which he gives you the format on how to do. Hes hilarious, and cares.
Professor Lockwood is a great person and is caring and ultimately wants you to succeed. The exams can be taken by yourself or with a group, I'd suggest a group but no more than 7 in a group. There is 4 debates and EC debates, I did 3 extra. Professor Lockwood is the 2019 distinguished faculty for SAC, so take the course, it's a great class.
Hes super easy!! Open book exam/ group exam. Hes also funny and he makes the class interesting. For debate classes tho, communication is extremely important! If u r introvert or shy or not good in English, not recommended. Lots of talking, socializing, and public speaking almost every classes.
Professor Lockwood is so passionate about teaching gender. He really has helped me view life in a different way. He's so caring and will do anything to help you pass the class. 10/10 recommend, if you don't pass the class you're simply just super lazy.
If you are afraid of public speaking this is actually the class for you. Professor Lockwood was amazing. He had amazing lectures and stories and is very passionate about public speaking. He will guide you when you are speaking in front of the class and provide techniques that will help with stage fright.
Very charismatic guy. We never had a boring moment in class. I'd highly recommend.
This was a tough class but Professor Lockwood is great. I will definitely take him again.
I recommend taking Mr. Lockwood. There are quizzes all you need to do is read from the book and take quiz. A few debates you over come the fear the first time and the next debate your all good. If you need help his always there just a email away. He response in a timely matter. Participate in class .
I took his 8-week online class and it was really straightforward. There's weekly homework but its pretty easy. Midterm and Final. There are two debates, however, the first one everyone gets full credit the second one is where you're graded based on how well you debate. Overall if you do the work you'll pass.
I did the summer course with this Professor and I highly recommend this Professor! He really helped me grow in my public speaking and made me feel more confident. I love his methods in teaching and by far is one of the best teachers I've had. Watch his videos and take notes and there should be no problem in passing.
I'm about to finish up Professor Lockwood's class on public speaking, truthfully he is an inspiring teacher. His lectures are super passionate and honestly it's hard to get board in his slides and presentations. As someone whose major is not communications, it was honestly such an invigorating class to take.
This professor is hilarious and makes you laugh in lectures. Makes everything understandable and answers in less that 24 hours. There are two debates and in the first one everyone gets 100% The rest of the work is to connect. It is an easy class you just need to do the work and pass.
I loved his class so much. He does not grade on how well you speak, he grades on how you get your message across. I have a stutter and he did not deduct points for it, nor give me advice on how to change it. He makes you feel comfortable. I recommend.
I took him for an Online class. Great professor! Answers immediately, super friendly. Classwork is easy,homework every weekend, easy but takes a bit long. Exams are pretty easy as well, its just hw questions. We also do 2 parliamentary debates where we meet on zoom. You do need to purchase the online book for access to assignments but its cheap.
I took his class for a winter semester and it was one of the easiest and most enjoyable courses I have done. I am not a fan of public speaking but his lectures made things so much interesting that I had full focus all the way. Has a few easy quizzes from the videos and a few speeches that allow you to choose your story. Great Professor!
Super cool Professor. Gives good debate topics and the in-class debates are interesting to watch. There is a debate every class period, in which you have to participate in some but not all. Easy homework and exams. Simple class overall.
Great Professor! I took this class online, it was great, learned to be more confident when speaking to others, quizzes are easy, and finals are easy too. He is so confident on his lectures, I loved that! So far I loved this class Im glad I picked Professor Lockwood hes really nice and caring;)
He is an amazing professor I have learned so much about public speaking and he gives you great feedback. I would definitely take his class again. All assignments and quizzes are super easy.
Amazing Professor!! I would definitely take his class again. He gives amazing lectures and history information about subject which gave me a better understanding. Gives you great feedback too.
Easy going teacher with easy going assignments. Pretty chill, you have to do one speech a week, but the speeches are incredibly easy.
Do not think twice and take professor Lockwood!!! He is by far my favorite professor I've taken, all the information he gives you helps you out for the presentations. I go out of my shell with the presentations he would make us do but it helped me a lot with my confidence in public speaking. He is very caring and wants you to do good.
Great professor much better than the past professor I took for this class I learned and got better with public speaking. Hes very passionate for what he does even if it was an online class you feel it.
This professor's lessons were very interesting, he talked about ancient Rome, Greece, and other cultures on how public speaking is involved. I liked his genuine personality and empathy, knowing that my first language is not English he does not judge about mispronunciation but the content I share through my speech.
Lockwood is the best professor I've ever had! I took CMST102 online and the work was very manageable. The course consisted of quizzes, written reactions, and discussion posts (videos). Also, his grading and rubric was very easy. Overall, would take this course again :)
I took public speaking during spring intersession and to be completely honest, I didn't learn anything. But hey, if this is a GE class you don't care about or you are already comfortable with public speaking, then take it during intersession. He is charismatic and responds very quickly. There's no reason you shouldn't get an A.
Professor Lockwood was a amazing professor. I highly recommend his class if you are planning to take a CMST course. Just do the quizzes, videos, and discussions to get a good grade. It is easy to get a "A" grade in his class if you do the work. I found his lectures passionate and educational.
Excellent professor with amazing lecture videos. He wants you to get out of your shell and he does a good job encouraging discussion between classmates. Quizzes are very easy, discussion boards do require some work--you have to record yourself speak (with camera on). He's very kind and enthusiastic, definitely a great speaker! Highly recommend!
I had a fantastic experience with Professor Lockwood. He was always available and very thorough in his explanations, both in writing and in his videos. He was easy to contact and approachable, which made the course enjoyable and engaging. I highly recommend his class to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable instructor.
I took him in the summer, and the class was great. for a summer class, this was a well-paced course you did have to record yourself but it was easy to do so. he gave great feedback was very lenient. TAKE HIM
Professor Lockwood is an engaging and enthusiastic teacher. His lessons are interesting, and he encourages class participation to help students improve their public speaking skills. I found unstuckstudy very helpful for preparing for the quizzes and presentations.
Great teacher, responds fast if you send him a message on pronto. Also an absolute silver fox.
I was honestly nervous about taking argumentation and debate, but he gives clear instructions/ examples and work is due on only certain days so you got sufficient time to do it! I loved how he took the time to provide feedback on my debates. You do need to read for quizzes, but not too much!
Professor Lockwood's course was extremely informative and engaging. There are about 2-3 lectures that he posts per week, and each lecture has an accompanied open-note quiz that aren't hard, usually 15-20 questions per quiz. 3 parliament style debates total that aren't much work. Debates are video on, but aren't long. Overall an amazing class.
Professor Lockwood is amazing. I would recommend his class! He's respectful and truly cares about his students. He records himself reading lectures, making everything personal, manageable, and accessible for students with learning disabilities. I learned so much, and with his support, getting an A is totally possible. Highly recommend!
