Reviews of professor Erin Lockwood

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Over 80+ reading pages a week, lecture slides packed w/ info, very history oriented material. Learn about UN, nongovernmental orgs, theories of IR, global political economy. All confusing stuff to me, so I had to rewatch the lectures she uploaded online to grasp material.

Professor Lockwood was great overall. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject and if you read the textbook and pay attention in lecture you'll do fine on the tests. Majority of your grade comes from the two midterms and the final, but the grading is fair and the tests aren't impossible at all.

The best part of the class is that she doesn't take attendance and the test is literally the study guides she provides you. Tests are all done with the blue book. Her lectures are basically her summarizing the readings, so you don't really have to go. I didn't even attend class past Week 5. Nothing really spectacular, the embodiment of "mediocre."

Grade is made up of two multiple-choice midterms and a multiple-choice final, as well as discussion participation and short online reading quizzes at the end of each week. Readings aren't too bad, most material is covered in lecture, and you get to infinitely retry the reading quiz up to the due date. Plenty of chances at extra credit too.

Dude come here.. and listen to my ted talk. She is an amazing person and reachable during office hours, but honestly the TA was the problem. I visited Lockwood many times and such a great person but the TA is not great and they are the ones that make your grade so like ehhehe

Weekly assigned readings with reading quizzes but you can just skim them because she goes over most of the material in lecture. Lectures aren't mandatory and she puts the recordings on canvas, but going in person is fun because she's entertaining. Tests are easy if you review the study guide and she gives extra credit. Overall 10/10 :)

Overall isn't that hard if you're willing to put the time in, that was my main mistake being lazy. So if you're looking for an easy class, this isn't the worst option so long as you study for it.

easy class. you take notes on lectures and midterms are as tough as they should be. she speaks really fast and doesnt give time to keep up with her lecture slides. shes young and enthusiastic tho. she takes time to answer everyones questions which is a good and bad depending on how many questions there are.

she made the topic so easy to understand and you actually learn and stay engaged in class. It's definitely not a hard class if you go to class, pay attention to the key terms and study the study guide.
