Tori is an amazing teacher. Totally understanding, fun to talk to, a good person to learn from. Very motivational, very down-to-earth teacher. I had her for UE and wish I could have her again for Life After Death, but can't fit the class in. You won't regret taking ant of her classes!

Tori is an amazing teacher. I had her for University Experience. I was scared I'd get some wacko making me memorize gen ed req. I feel a lot more comfortable with the campus now and I know where to go for help. Take this class I recommend it!

Meh, they don't know what they're talking about. Tori's ****ing amazing, it's not her fault that a 4 credit hour class is jammed into 6 weeks, there's only so many things you can do. She did an awesome job, really fair, cool, engaging teacher.

I LOVE THIS TEACHER! She's the coolest. Very nice, very informative, very clear.

Ms. Lockler is WONDERFUL. I can't imagine the reason for the derogatory comments below. Perhaps students who did not do well?

Good teacher, knows her stuff. I like the way the religions class was run; really enjoyable and not too hard at all.

my UE class was really easy, and she was a great teacher. She always understood when you had a problem and did anything she could to help you turn in your assignments, and if you needed more time because of an unforseen circumstance, she gave you more time.

She's ok, but boring!

Very interesting class and prof. keeps you interested. She did an excellent job. I would recommend this class to any one. It is an easy A if you study. I never studied and passed with a B. Do not buy the books, they are useless. If you do, you don't need to read them. She puts PP Presentations up. Just take good note from those.

The course was very interesting. Lots of reading(I took summer B) but it was all worth it. Exams are fairly easy if you listen to the lectures and read the books she tells you to read. However, throughout the course I had a feeling that Mrs Lockler's knowledge of the religions is kinda limited..There are regular quizzes too.

one of the best professors i've ever had. kept me motivated and interested. i took this as a gordon rule, and liked it so much better than tests. she graded the essays fairly, which was good, beause im not too much of a writer. awesome professor. really is.

I loved this class. It was really interesting and I learned a lot. This is the second class I've taken with her, and I will take any others she offers. It is a Gordon Rule class, so there is a lot of writing, but she makes it easy and interesting. Plus she grades fairly. I recommend anyone to take this class!!!

shez the ebst professor ever she made the class so easy that u have to be dumb if u dont understand and she can explin to u over and over.and answers all the questions she is the lovliest person on earth. I loved that class more than any other one

LOVED THIS CLASS! learned alot about different religions and enjoyed the class. No tests, no quizzes, but an essay every other week. She is one of the nicest teachers. easy approachable.

Even though this is a Gordon Rule class, it is still pretty easy. She's not a hard grader and the papers are straight forward and easy to write on. Attendance is mandatory, but the lectures are interesting, so its not that bad. I would recommend this for anyone who needs a Gordon Rule class to take!!!

She is a good professor and study her review she study guide sheets and you will do well in her class. She is a nice person ans loves talkinf to students about their situations. Take her if you want to fo good in the class

Professor Lockler is the best Professor at USF!!!! I have taken several classes with her and they all have been great. Attendance is mandatory but she is an easy grader! Very interesting lectures, you will definitely want to be in class.

She is an AWESOME Professor. She really cares about her students and wants them to do well. She is very passionate about the course and makes it very interesting. Extremely helpful and understanding. No tests, just papers/essays, which are easy, as long as you follow her instructions.

took religion and violence, great class, very fun and interesting. 1/2 of course is student taught. each student does 1 group presentation and 2 tests. she tries to hype up tests to be harder than they are. Easy A!! Great teacher.

Wonderful professor! Very clear on what she wants... almost impossible to not get an A... She's one of the sweetest professors at USF and she really knows her stuff... Makes any topic interesting! Take her!!!

Life After Death is the most interesting class that I have ever taken, and Tori Lockler made it fun. She is knowledgeable and helpful if you have a question. Everything is out of her Power Point presentations, so be sure to study those. This is an awesome Major Works and Major Issues class whether you are in the Religious Studies department or not.

I've taken Life After Death and Contemporary Religious Ethics with Tori. AMAZING professor! She made the class fun and it was really interesting. She is somewhat easy if you read the selections she has asked to read. But overall she made it fun to learn. Go to class! Read the books and youre good!! :o)

great professor, great subject. Read what's required and pay attention in class, an easy A. Some classes are movie days followed by discussion groups. would take another class with her.

great professor. Study the powerpoints and you will be fine.

Fantastic teacher. As others have said, follow the slides and you'll do fine on the quizzes and tests. She incorporates movies into the curriculum in a cool, relevant way, too.

Religion & Violence - extremely interesting class. Lockler knows her stuff and is very passionate about the subject. If you are a closed minded person, save yourself and don't take this class. If you speak hateful towards the studied groups, Lockler will shut you down. Plain and simple. She doesn't have "favorites" or have "biases" towards anyone.

Good & fair professor! Well-constructed class! For the most part she kept my attention! The movies really helped and gave more meaning to them than I thought. Listen and read over the slides and you will do fine!

Loved her! Took 3 classes with her and enjoyed all of them. She is one of the sweetest professors ever and I highly recommend her!

I was not interested in this class in the least when I registered. Prof. Lockler really made the class interesting with her lectures and her choice of visual aid. She showed a lot of movies and documentary clips to help enforce the material. VERY EASY TO PASS. I never opened a book and missed quite a few classes.

I taken many religion class, mostly online. But this class was 4 hours. Not to bad though, her lectures flow and we always watch a full length movie. Exam was easy, came from power points. As long as you show up and stay for all of class there is no reason not to get an A, and possibly learn something new!

Took her for Life Afer Death. Really knows what she's talkin about. Great teacher! The class was 4 hours, but she made the material interesting. We would watch relevant movies half the time, the go over slides for the rest of the 2 hours. Very interesting class. Go to class, study the slides, and you will do great! Tests were pretty easy.

She is an awesome teacher. She is very interested in what she is talking about and tries to relate it to us. She is very helpful and very understanding, she will work with you if you have questions. She is very easily approachable. I recommend her for this class and any class she may teach!

Nice teacher but BORING material! If you are not interested in Life After Death, you will be sleeping for the long, and dreadful 2 hours and 20 minutes of the class. Powerpnts were boring! Tests were NOT easy! Her true and false questions were often tricky and can lead you to second guess yourself. A LOT to read! Got a B, but I regret taking it :(

Very nice and helpful teacher. She's very interested in what she is teaching and her surpassing knowledge in the area shows. She is very approachable and cares about the student understanding the concept and welcomes questions about ANYTHING that you are interested in about the religions. She caters the class to the students and is very generous.

Wonderful teacher. Really knows her stuff. Lenient with scheduling and leaves some wiggle room. She's very entertaining and shows really interesting films. She's super sweet and understanding. Take it!

If it's available, take this Human & Global Diversity class with her. I took it with deChant and got a D. Came out of her class with an A. It's really dull material, but she makes it interesting enough. Attendance counts so make sure you're there. 4 quizzes and a mid term and final. Super, super easy. Take it with her!

Awesome teacher! She really knows the material and will make sure that you understand it. She can answer any and every question you throw at her. She makes the class interesting and easy to follow along.

Very easy class. If you go to class and pay attention to her and the movies you will get an A. Study the powerpoints focusing on her study guides and exams will be a breeze, just HAVE to go to class, but it goes by fast surprisingly.

REALLY nice professor and does not make class too hard. You'll have essays and a big presentation, but it's not that bad. She is definitely willing to help you, and almost everything is pretty much opinionanted. Also, mthere was a lot of just discussing in class which was quite interesting. I definitely recommend her.

Definitely recommend! Great lectures, interesting topics & films in class! Never opened any of the textbooks, so no need to buy!! There are 5 quizzes plus 1 extra credit quiz. Two exams (midterm & final). Mandatory attendance. No papers! Great class and professor! Easy A and you'll actually learn something :) TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

Professor Lockler is an awesome professor!!! She's really sweet and is very clear about what is expected in class. Attendance is mandatory, all you have to do is show up, pay attention and review her powerpoints and you should be good. She makes the material really interesting so that you will actually want to learn. I got an A!

She knows her stuff, her grading on the papers is inconsistent & unfair. Make sure to ask a lot of questions on what she will be markin off on the papers. Ask questions, she is good at explaining anything. She wont return any emails so if you have questions see her during class. Nice woman, fun class, interesting material.

Very interesting material. She is extremely knowledgable and very helpful with answering questions. Attend all class to get attendance points. Test and quizzes are easy if you study the power points and pay attention in class. TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!

Intro to Worl Religion was my first class in college and I got an A+. There's a book that I chose to read but everything you need to know is on a PPT. Also there are a couple of 1 page double spaced papers where you have to answer questions such as How Christianity and Islam interpret God. Simple stuff. Also go to class for attendance points.

Lots of writing so be prepared. Her grading is tuff so watch your grammer and edit your paper a lot. She is very helpful if you ask her questions.

Great Professor, she definitely knows what she's talking about.

Mrs. Lockler is so sweet and helpful! Her class is very straight forward and all quiz answers come from the power points. She recommends reading the text but it's not necessary. Only downside is the really boring videos she shows. She gives 5 one page double spaced papers, 6 quizzes a midterm and a final. Final is not cumulative. TAKE LOCKLER!!

Tori Lockler definitely knows what she is talking about. This class was really interesting, but there's a lot of information to learn. Overall good class though

Honestly, she was just really boring. Nice woman and all, but reading from powerpoints held my interest for maybe 2 seconds. The work is a BREEZE. I just hated going to class. She did cancel alot though, which was nice.

Dr. Lockler is a great professor. As long as you write your reflection papers and show up to class, you will have no problem what so ever. You do probably need to buy the book. Great teacher, super nice and flexible also.

Lockler is probably the best professor I have taken in the REL dept. She is very open, genuinely interested in her students, and does not push any personal belief like some REL professors. I highly recommend this class with her for all REL students!

She is so passionate, so helpful and such a sweetheart!

Lockler is amazing! I have never met a professor before with such passion and love for her field of study. Her essay assignments aren't that bad as long as you don't procrastinate and you give a through analysis for each topic.

Deintelty an easy class, take her if you can.

Great all-around teacher! DO NOT take Religious Quest in Contemporary Film if you don't like writing because one 2-3 page essay is due every week along with a 5-8 page midterm paper and 5-8 page final paper.

Loved this class and professor. Lots of papers, but she takes the time to work with you and make sure you are understanding. Received an A in this class.

I thought her papers were simple to write, there are quite a lot of them but it's really easy to tie into the text when discussing the films. Make sure you know APAMLA very well because she does check! She truly reads each paper & I enjoyed reading her feedback. A little sassy if you're late to class but all in good manner. Speak up in class!

Professor Lockler is an amazing teacher. Her class, Issues of Carib Religions consisted of 8 reflection papers, out of the 8, 5 were due. In addition, a group project, a final paper, and take home exam. The reflections are 2-3 pages of your reflection on what you read. As long as you read, it is not difficult. Definitely recommend taking.

She assigns 10 papers throughout the semester based on the films that we watch (Each of them 2-3 pages long), but you are able to drop 3 of them. The textbook was a little tedious to get (had to buy it at a nearby printshop that was off-campus), but you'll need to read the articles that tie into the moves, as well as cite them in your papers.

She is a great professor and is willing to meet with students outside of the classroom to review their papers. You must write 5, 2-3 pages, and 1 final paper 6-8 pages about the religions covered. Take home final exam that is 2 essays, each 2-3 pages. Material is very interesting and its easy to do the work. Participation is key! Would take again!!

Ms. Lockler is a great teacher! Religious Quest in Contemporary Film is a pretty simple class. There are 10 2-3pg papers to write (3 can be dropped). There is also a midterm and final paper to do both that are 5-8pgs long. The movies are interesting so you won't be bored. Definitely recommend if you need both a Humanities and Gordon Rule course!

Good professor. Very fair grading system. HELPFUL TIP: DON'T go to class 1 second late; she WILL kick you out (Happened to about 5 people the first week). Assigns 8 papers (2-3 pages in length) and a take home final exam. You can drop your lowest 3 papers. There is also 1 group project. She's always willing to stay after class and answer questions.

I'm taking Lockler for Issues in Carib. Religions right now and she's the best professor I've ever had. She's always excited about class and willing to help students with any questions. Interesting and interactive discussions, and you can drop 3 papers. Very fair assignment wise. I definitely recommend her, fun and easy capstone course!

Respect her and she'll respect you. Do the papers and the readings and the class will go fine. Most of the grades are papers because it's a writing intensive class.

Great professor! Definitely not a push-over, but very fair! She expects a good amount of effort from her students but not more than what would be standard for any collegiate course. Very passionate and knowledgable about what she teaches. So long as you make an effort, you WILL get an A.

This class consisted of watching movies and applying religious concepts. Prof. Lockler does a good job explaining those concepts. There are 10 2-3 page reflection papers and two 4-5 page term papers. If you are a decent writer this class is a breeze.

What I liked most about this class is how well she is at explaining the material. You could throw any question at her and she would not only answer but go really in depth to make sure everyone understood. She would never move on if there was still a lot of confusion. Her patience is amazing.

Tori Lockler is my favorite professor in the department. She is always available to help a student and truly cares about them.

She is very passionate about teaching about religions and clearing up any misconceptions and misunderstandings that certain religions have. She really wants her students to learn and she cares about them. She is a lenient grader and will give students a break more often than not. Take a class with her, you won't regret it.

Dr. Lockler is a true gem. She possesses so much knowledge and really knows how to keep the lecture interesting. The semester was not long enough. Take this course!

I had her for REL 3167, and it was such a hands on and fun class. We talked about difficult topics, but she welcomes disagreements and hard conversations in a safe environment.

I'm very surprised with some of the low ratings. I think the professor is great and it is a very interesting class. Yes there are no rubrics for the papers (reflections etc.) but she is not a hard grader. It really is about personal experience. The syllabus is detailed and lays out the whole semester. If you want an easy grade, take her!

I absolutely LOVED this professor...I have taken her for REL 3375 & 3167 and have no regrets. She is extremely knowledgeable, passionate and enthusiastic about the subject. There are easy weekly writing assignments (7 drops 2). One or two TAs based on class size. Need advice or help talk to her or TA, simple. Awesome prof. I would take her again.

Took Rel of Healthcare. Extremely doable. One discussion board a week, discuss the readings from the free textbook. Interesting+necessary content if Premed about ethics. Dr. Lockler is very responsive and in touch with students. She complimented all of our pet photos

I have taken 3 classes with her and she is very easy going. Her papers are basically personal self-reflections on the readings and she does not grade harshly. if you do the work you have nothing to worry about. She will work with you if need be but you have to ask. The curriculum is you have to write, so write. Her class is always enjoyable.

Class is based on weekly readings on multiple books, but you can get by without reading everything. She really likes group projects and assignments, but class is not hard as she only gave one weekly reflection paper and a final research project. No exams!!!

She's a very sweet person who is willing to extend assignment deadlines or even let you avoid certain subject matters if you let her know ahead of time. I took her for RPHDD, so sometimes things got heavy, but she still made the class enjoyable. Be prepared to read several chapters every night to keep up, but it definitely is worth it and pays off.

Basically is just a discussion post every week, it's not difficult at all. towards the end you do have to write a paper but it's doable and an easy enough A. there is a midterm and final exam, but they're open book

This was an online class so I didn't really interact with Professor Lockler, but the Canvas and its content are extremely clear and easy to understand. The class is just discussion posts, with a midterm and final exam, as well as two papers. It's easy to get into a routine with the class, super easy!

This is a very interesting class. Dr. Lockler is clear about what is expected. The majority of this class is a discussion post per week, with a midterm and a final as well. Dr. Lockler offers multiple extra credit opportunities and is very easy to reach out to if you need help.

Class is made up of 500 word discussion posts every week, 2 essays, a midterm and a final. TA's grade everything. The TA's grade differently so some grade easier than others, I got lucky and had a lenient TA.

Such a great prof!! I loved her lectures and our class discussions! They were super engaging and really interesting. She gives information in a digestible way that made it really easy for me to understand. I also felt like her grading style was pretty lenient and fair. Overall, I would absolutely take her again.

great class. learned a lot. I don't love group projects, but this one was cool. gave alternative assignment options too which was nice

the workload was easy. the grading expectations were clear and a lot of extra credit/live session help. idk why people are so upset about the TAs grading. i feel like that is the way all of my big online classes are.
