Reviews of professor Scotty Castillo

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Pretty cool professor overall. Gives good feedback and is able to teach C++ concepts well. Class graded on 30 labs, 3 homework assignments, and 2 tests. labs can be re-checked as many times as you want for full credit. After moving online b/c Corona Virus, notes were posted (non synchronous class) and it was harder to get in contact. Solid class!

The lectures for the class were really helpful and if you didn't do a lab correctly, he would give you good feedback for redoing it. The only issue with Professor Castillo is that he can be slow with responding to messages and emails.

DON'T TAKE THIS IN PERSON with this teacher. Most of the time he was rambling on about random stuff that was completely irrelevant to the lecture. He was also almost always out of breath and was overall not a good teacher at all. The class was very boring and uneventful. TAKE HIM ONLINE THOUGH he is extremely easy.

Professor Castillo is amazing. He assigns a certain number of labs that you have to complete, and has a midterm and final that are both completely online. He lets you use the internet on both tests, and none of his material is too difficult. He also answers questions quickly and effectively.

I enjoyed Professor Castillo's CS150 class. I would say if you have questions ask during class. He is an excellent resource. I did not like that he is not good with replying to emails promptly. He gives lots of work, but it shapes you and really strengthens your coding by doing the work. Do the work and you'll get the A.

Prof Castillo was such a great professor who really cares about his students and really gives you a million chances to pass. Even if you dont do well on the midterm/final you can resubmit all homework and in class assignments as many times as you want in order to pass the class. Not a CS major nor do I have ANY experience & still received in A :)
