Reviews of professor Susana Castillo-Rodriguez

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had professor Castillo for multilple classes. As a person she is great but as a professor not the best. She assigns a lot of homework and lectures for way too long. It is very hard to stay awake in any of her classes. She is also rude and plays favorites with certain students. Avoid her if you can, take professor Costa or Dr Bernard instead.

She says she speaks in English and Spanish in the Course but its a lie

She seems like a nice lady but her teaching is awful. She doesn't really teach anything really. You get homework that you need to teach yourself how to do, then she goes over it in class. Rinse and repeat.

I enjoyed her class so much I am taking her 201 class next semester. She's a really great resource as a native Spanish speaker. She also really seems to understand that different people in the class have different motives for taking the class, and somehow manages to teach in a way that works for everyone. She's super kind and understanding too.

Dr. Castillo-Rodriguez was a determined and helpful teacher! I think at times, she wasn't perfectly clear with certain assignments, but she was open to hear what anyone had to say. She would hear us out and if something seemed reasonably unfair to us, she would change it if possible. Like most professors, I can tell she enjoys teaching.

This class became dreadful a few times during the semester, mostly because of how much work she tried to assign at the same time. Group work was annoying, but easy. The only thing that was really unfair was having attendance be mandatory, regardless of the fact that administration had told students that it wouldnt count for the semester.
