Make sure to participate everyday and to come to class prepared. He gives you a lot of time to complete the assignments that are due so it's not hard to do them. The tests usually have questions from the quizzes so make sure to remember those questions and to study for the quizzes too.

Mr. Lockwood frequently assigns Evidence & Interpretation charts to get students familiar with each section of a certain chapter. Though each chart is only worth five points, it is important that you do them. Failing to complete a single assignment could cause detrimental damage to one's grades. Some of the material taught in class are extra pieces of information that will potentially appear on the test, but isn't found in the textbook. To combat this, it is highly encouraged that you write your own notes, especially the ones that aren't present on the slides or in the book to ensure you'll remember to review it. It is important to ask questions to clear anything up, as well. Taking advantage of office hours also helps, as it's a short window of time for you to ask questions before a potential exam or quiz.

There is a lot of memorization to do and make sure you complete every assignment. Everything done in class is on the tests. Also, make sure to listen to whatever the teacher says.
