Taking Dr. Lockhart's class was incredible! Dr. Lockhart really does know his material and is very passionate about History. It amazes me on how he is so passionate. Exams are mostly where the grades revolve around. Exams were online and you could use notes that you took prior! Must take notes every time you go to class!!!

This was my first college class since retiring from active duty in 2015. Mr. Lockhart has an amazing sense and grasp of history, time flies as he lectures and pulls you into the moment. Completely accessible and accommodating to students. Just an amazing professor. HIGHLY recommended.

I loved having Dr. Lockhart as a teacher!! He makes lectures so interesting and easy to understand. He really knows what he is talking about and appreciates students that talk to him outside of class during his office hours. Powerpoint's are posted online, and grading for tests and quizzes is all multiple choice. Wish I could have him again!

Lockhart showed me that I made the right decision to be a history major. He is extremely passionate about his lectures and goes into great detail while keeping things exciting. It was my morning class, but was refreshing to have such exciting and enjoyable lectures. Offers extra credit and drops lowest quiz score. Absolutely would take again!

Comment:

Probably the worst professor I've ever had. His monotone voice sounds terrible, especially at 8 a.m. He just talks and talks and doesn't really explain anything and seems condescending. Super boring class, do not recommend him at all. And even though I hated the class, I still got an A, and I only studied the day before.

TAKE HIM! Really good professor! I wasn't motivated to learn this subject at all but he can make something so boring very interesting! Can tell he's very passionate about what he teaches. Class isn't mandatory but helps if you attend. I only studied the night before tests for a couple hours and aced them. Also offers an extra credit assignment.

He's a very nice guy! He can seem a little indifferent but he really does care about how his students do. 8 am history isn't very fun but he does make the class interesting. I would definitely recommend!

Easy class and very fun. All you have to do is pay attention and you are golden. I didn't open the book much. Everything is in his notes. He had a good attitude and his class was enjoyable.

Comment:

He was not very helpful and going to his class is a waste of time because you will eventually read what he tells you. His tests are nothing like what is on the study guide. Everyone failed our midterm. I would not recommend him.

Comment:

Im not a history person at all, but Lockhart made it interesting. DO NOT study the PPTs or online notes- only listen to his lectures + do the study guide. Of the 3 tests, your highest score is worth 40%, then the others are worth 30% each. For someone who studies a lot, I had a 79% for a final grade. After the EC paper + an email, he gave me an A.

Tests are lecture based, never used the book. Class was not mandatory but he lectured in great detail so it was easy to miss something.

Comment:

I hate history, but Prof. Lockhart made it interesting! You do need to go to class for notes, as tests are lecture-based, and PowerPoints are unhelpful. Your grade is calculated on three tests (30%, 30%, 40%), and he counts your highest test grade for the 40%. He offers extra credit and is willing to help. Highly recommended.

Comment:

This class way by far one of the most interesting and easiest classes I have taken to date. Pay attention in class because some of the things he says aren't on the power point. Use the study guide he provides for class and it should be an easy A. Offers extra credit. This class really got me into history and history is my least favorite subject.

Professor Lockhart's class is really easy if you know how to use Wikipedia. Barely went to class didn't buy the book, averaged above 80% on the tests. If you don't like history, take this guy's class.
