(Took college algebra) Walcott teaches clearly and concisely. He preps you for each exam, and he gives partial credit if you show your work. The online homework takes a bit of time but he gives you about a week to do each one so it's not too much. Would take him again if I need one of his other classes.

the best math teacher I ever had in my entire life. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? He would have been so helpful in highschool. wish he taught other the next courses!

Dr. Walcott is an excellent professor. He is helpful, funny, makes math enjoyable and knows his stuff.

He was a wonderful and very personable teacher, I am sad his College Algebra schedule can not fit my schedule.I recommend him highly. He drops the 3 lowest grades.

I really enjoy this teacher, however the material is anything but "general". Be prepared to read and reread the chapters in the text book and review the notes thoroughly in order to gain a small grasp on anything for this course. Good teacher, just do plenty of independent study or you may struggle.

Prof. Walcott makes science interesting and gives a lot of application questions for us to think about (not to mention his funny jokes). I enjoyed his class and am looking forward to taking other classes mathscience classes he teaches. Btw, about 40% of his exam questions are hard but if you follow the study guide you will be ok.

I thought this class would be difficulty because I didn't do well in science in HS but gosh, Dr. Walcott made it interesting, the videos are great, his examples make you want to learn more. Not to mention he gave extra credit (like where can we find part of the extra day in a leap year during during a non-leap year) and he is hot.

Richard Walcott is a great professor. The grade in the class is one that you must earn but is worth it. He offers help outside of class and is willing to help you understand the material.

I've taken science courses in the summer before and they have not been this organized and interesting. Great professor, however, if you think you are in high school where you get several chances and whine to get extra points or pass without studying that won't happen in his class.

His lectures are clear and labs are fun. We made an audio speaker for less than $1 from disposable plates, a walmart magnet and a few wires. Don't take physics if you are laaaaaazy...i found that out the hard way a few semesters ago.

I thought he would be nerdish but he made physics interesting and fun even though the summer session was quick. And by the way, he did NOT say "I am not here to teach but profess my knowledge!" He was simply explaining the difference between high school and college that a lot of work is done outside the class by the student when you are in college.

Professor Walcott is a wonderful humorous teacher. Lectures are inspiring and he knows how to get you thinking in the right direction. I like the sample exams and the review of the sample exams before the class.

Mr. Walcott is an amazing professor. He understands how hard the subject is and is very willing to work with you till you understand. I understand a lot more taking his class than I did in Physics 1. He is very respectful and helps in anyway that he can. I would defiantly recommend taking him.

I learned a lot and enjoyed coming to class.

I drove to Tulsa from Stillwater every Tuesday and Thursday for this class. Professor Walcott is the best educator Ive had in my college career. He truly cares about his students and their educations. Very nice, fun, and intelligent. The labs were long but you learn a lot in them. Physics 2 is dense material but he makes it as fun as possible.

He is a nice fun professor. The tests weren't easy, but he gave extra credits.

Wow...I took physics before and didn't understand anything but after taking professor Walcott I learned a lot and can actually say I now understand it. I am glad that I did not take it at my university but drove many miles to take him. Be prepared to work and not expect handouts.

I was scared and anxious at first because I always heard that Physics was hard but after the first day Dr. Walcott made things seem so doable. I really enjoyed the class and look forward to Physics 2.

Physics 1 was a disaster & the professor just wrote stuff on the board. I decide to take professor Walcott instead of my Physics 1 professor. Physics 2 concepts were different and hard to grasp at first but he made it really simple by including applications in lectures and labs. There is a lot of stuff to cover so the class moves quickly.

He makes a real effort to keep class interactive, which is tough when there are 48 students in the same room. Made us laugh almost every day. Never made class run later than necessary. He's a bit hard to follow during lectures, and he's slow to grade stuff, but don't rearrange your whole schedule to avoid him. Do the work and you'll be fine.

I enjoyed taking Physics with Dr. Walcott. He knows his stuff, is energetic, and helps students. He gives extra credit which I needed. I learned a whole lot.

Awesome professor. Even though physics is hard, the way he designed the class makes it possible to pass without having to get an A or B on every exam. The exam review sessions really helped me.

Didn't know what to expect when the semester started but I enjoyed the class. He breaks down the stuff so we can understand and helped me refresh my math (which sucked) during office hours. The quizzes are a little difficult but they are just 5%. I recommend taking Dr. Walcott and will take him for physics 2.

I didn't think I was going to pass but I will actually get an A. I love the funny physics jokes he gives in a sarcastic way and he give chances to redo the homework. I hate the mastering physics software for the homework, if you enter characters wrong it grades it wrong. Thankfully he curves the HW grade to help out issue like that. I love him

He is AMAZING!

I am taking PHYS 1114 online and Dr. Walcott is very organized. It is more difficult since we do not have class on campus but his lecture videos are clear and enjoyable.

He is one of the better physics teachers. I worked very hard but he is a whole lot better than the jerk I had last semester and he knows his stuff.

Physics 2 is dense material but he makes it as fun as possible.

I decided not to take Physics at ORU and I am so glad that I did. Dr. Walcott is kind, understanding, and easy to approach. Physics 2 labs are a little long but he plays music in the labs and that makes the time go by quickly.

I am getting an "A", but I would not if professor walcott did not make all exams only 50% of the grade. I don't do well on exams. The labs homework and so on brought my grade up. He has a lot videos showing how to work problems and his weekly zoom sessions are helpful. Very nice man, I wish this was an on campus class.

This is the hardest freaking class I've ever taken. Physics is damn hard stuff but my buddy said he had a blast in Dr Walcott's class last year so I took him and then they changed to online. I am doing well and he tries his best and gives a few extra days if I run into problems but learning online is maaaad hard. He curves and that helps a lot.

From all my online classes Walcott is the most organized. Every week Blackboard has steps that we need to do to complete the work. I tried ignoring the steps and got confused but when I followed the steps, like reading the book then watching his lecture videos then worksheets I did well. Expect him to not answer emails on weekends

I'm taking him online for Physics 1 and plan to take his blended class for Physics 2 on campus next semester. I didn't know what to expect since I heard great things about his class and also not so good things. I realized that if you are lazy you will fail (like my friend) but if you turn things in you will do well. He will NOT hand you a grade.

Online physics is different so be prepared to follow the steps and check your email and announcements. Dr Walcott arranged the course site very good, and the weekly live Zoom sessions help a lot. Do not be afraid contact him if you need help. So far the course is working well for me & he is understanding to extend the due dates etc.

Professor Walcott is awesome even in the online class. Reading all the ratings I didn't want to take Walcott, but a friend said I should take him and ignore the bad reviews. My friend said she got an A and that a few students in her class were lazy and didn't want to work for a grade so they planned to give him bad reviews. I am doing well so far

We just got back our second exam result and I am doing great. He also said that exam 3 is a take home exam. Dr Walcott curves his exams and counts all exams as 50% of the class grade this is freaking great! The labs, homework, discussion, and everything else count for 50% which is gives me the chance to keep my A.

I usually rate my professors in the middle and end of the semester & Dr Walcott is really nice. I am in the on campus section but I like that his video lectures for all chapters are available for us to review in case we miss a class. He grades fairly & is reasonable. Very smart professor that explains things very well. I'm glad I didnt take it @OU

Dr. Walcott is an awesome likable dude, who is smart and very understanding. He works with you if you have an emergency and sticks around after class to help. I am so glad that I took him on campus this semester. I can't believe that I am getting an A in physics and the semester is almost over.

Professor Walcott is an awesome guy. He breaks everything down so clearly and understands that we are not physics majors. I would suggest that you read the text book before coming to class. I also like that his recorded video lectures are available even though my class is on campus. This helped me because I had to miss school for a job training.

I took this class over the summer as an online class so that in its self was hard. I will say that this professor had a very well put together online summer class. Each weeks assignments were clearly put together. I can in never taking a physics class and I passed with a High A. The professor is also very easily contacted and is very nice.

Professor Walcott is a great professor and he really does care. My only complaint is that he takes a while to grade and sometimes takes a while to respond. If you need help, email him early or attend the zoom help sessions. Class has lots of homework (like most lab classes do) but he's pretty clear on what needs to be done and when.

I took professor Walcott for Physics I - online. I accidently signed up for an 8 week course. It was very fast paced but doable if you keep up with the weekly assignments. Had a total of 4 exams, two were monitored, two were not. If you get a good grade on your final, he will replace that grade with your worst exam grade.

Good professor if you follow his steps for success you will get a good grade. He does take a while to grade though. Also he curves the final and switches your worst exam grade if you do better on the final as well as dropping worst hw or lab. Easy class.

Professor Walcott is a really nice guy, and he is undoubtedly genius, but sometimes he can be hard to follow. You will definitely have to do a lot of studying from outside materials so that you can understand everything. His tests are hard, but they aren't too bad, and he does curve them. As long as you study long and hard, you should be okay.

His course is well organized and if you follow the criteria for success you will do great. I had a few emergencies and he worked with me.

The grade is a weighted grade so be careful to understand that exams are worth more than quizzes. Physics 2 was tough but Dr. Walcott is a great professor who knows his stuff and is very funny.

I needed the extra credit points to get me to 89.6 and he rounded up. Was intimidated at first because he looks young and is attractive black professor but the class was so interesting and the study guide was clear and helpful. Loved the discussion on blackholes.

I took online courses before and there were no lecture videos but Professor Walcott made his own lecture videos, posted power point notes, solutions to worksheets and helped me a lot during personal zoom sessions. The opening video showed how to find the assignments and write the labs etc. No wonder his class fills as soon as it opens

I didn't like physics 2 the first time around but Dr. Walcott made it very enjoyable and explained things really well. His exams are a bit tough but he is curves and gives extra credit.

This was an 8 weeks online class and it was over quickly, however, professor walcott was good at Zoom office hours and he was available to meet on campus if you needed extra help. His video lectures helped and the course was organized and I liked the online labs. He is a very caring professor and works with you if you have an emergency.

Just finished the online summer session and got an A. Watch out, the final exam is a bit tough but professor walcott's study guide and the curve helped. His lecture videos are great and I learned a lot of physics. He also has zoom office hrs that helped me with the hw and labs. He is very funny, helpful, and easy to talk to.

The exams are demanding but he balances labs and tests in such a way that it's hard to fail, unless your attendance and effort are poor. He's the type of professor that if you put forth the effort in his class, he'll put forth the effort in developing you as the student.

I didn't like the class to begin with but it turned out to be my favorite. Walcott seemed like he really wanted all of us to pass. His tests are difficult but if you make a good formula sheet you should do well. He also adds a pretty generous curve to them. He also gets rid of your lowest lab grade and replaces the lowest test grade with the final.

For the fully online physics class if you start the labs and assignments the night it is almost due you won't get done. I like that his video lectures are available and videos showing how to work problems. Attending his office hours campus will also help a lot.

I just completed the online physics in the summer and it was tough in 8 weeks but Dr Walcott did a zoom session that helped a lot. Pay attention to the announcement and course schedule and make sure you submit things on time. His lecture videos also helped and remember to use the tutors.

The only thing is dislike about the course is the mastering physics software that counts it wrong if you put a space in the wrong place. He only gave us 4 or 5 homework problems for each chapter but it took so much time. The labs were easy to do and the worksheet was easy.

I waited to take Professor Walcott's class because other engineering students told me to and I was not disappointed. I like how he explained complicated physics concepts and gives examples to my career. The exams are a bit tough but if you work the sample exam and the study guide you will be prepared. The extra credits also helped my grade a lot.

Prof. Walcott is an organized and supportive instructor, offering clear grading guidelines with a curve, extra credit, and thorough, accessible explanations of complex topics. They're approachable, accommodating outside of class, and bring humor and humility to their teaching. A truly positive experience for any student seeking success in physics!

Challenging physics course, but the video lectures and using unstuck AI for study prep helped me stay on top of the material. Assignments can be time-consuming, so start early.

Before I took this class, I was super scared that Walcott would be a horrible teacher. Now, I think he's pretty chill. I was online, so make sure to watch his lectures. He does exams in different forms and curves scores. He also grades nicely (but slowly) if you complete your work before the due date. If you actually try it'll be fine.

pt He is the kind of person if you want to learn he is ready to teach you. If you don/t get get a concept ask questions don;t be embarrassed he know how to get you to par. Don.t worry about grades he wants to see participation and attendance and communication. Beware he give pop quizzes but if you understand the concept you will be ok

He is an amazing professor. He cares more about you understanding the concept more than grades. Very understanding if you communicate. He values your participations. Be ware of pop quizzes but if you know the concepts you will be ok.if you dont understand ask questions he does like explaining concepts
