Reviews of professor Greg Castillo

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Interesting intro class to architecture, urban planning, and environmental design in different places and times. A lot of lecturing from slides but minimal tests/quizzes and so the class time isn't stressful. Case studies are good for an intro lower div but also it's going for breadth rather than depth. Still neat and I found it fun and engaging.

Castillo is a great lecture and speaks very passionately. He's very approachable and easy to talk to. ED4A was a fine class to take, just be prepared for the pop quizzes that appear towards the end of each module.

I really enjoyed this class.  Ist half: lectures by Castillo, more historical, graded on several quizzes, responses to guest lectures, and social justice poster midterm.  2nd half: lectures by Pol Matamoros, more theoretical, graded on weekly reading responses and graphic novel final.  Wish 2nd half had preceded 1st.
