Reviews of professor Erik Otarola-Castillo

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This professor is incredibly knowledgeable in this subject and is a great lecturer. The professor made sure to encourage the class to participate and was always good about answering questions. The course itself was fun and very enjoyable. The professor did in-class demonstrations and allowed students to participate in them. Very educational!!!

Dont hesitate to take ANTH 201! A fair amount of the grade is from class attendance, but the lectures were very engaging and included demos, films, and discussion. You shouldnt be stressed about your grade if you do all of the assignments and attend class.

Dr. Otarola-Castillo is a solid choice for an easy-A-type class. He doesn't do the traditional "lecture" thing; he hosts a casual classroom. Because of this, it's hard to figure out what we need to know for exams. That being said, he is a FAIR grader and is FLEXIBLE with students -- which makes up for the lack of structure. Not too accessible tho.

Really great professor, kind and does a lot of demos that are entertaining. He has the occasional movie, read and go to class and it should be very fun and pretty easy to do well.
