Reviews of professor Ivan Castaneda

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof Castaeda's Intro/Humanities course is my 16th online course w/UMGC. Hands down, it is the most demanding one I've taken - for ALL the wrong reasons. All grades are harsh, incredibly subjective, poorly explained and-in the professor's opinion-completely final. Highly recommend you skip this one, or find a class with a different prof.

Professor Castaneda was very particular on the weekly discussion posts. I e-mailed him requesting more detailed information on how I can improve my discussion scores (I was sonsistently getting 85's for quality responses), and he just said "think outside the box"..? I worked extremely hard on my papers and got A's on both of them.
