Reviews of professor Arturo Matute Castro

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Dr. Castro is amazing! You can tell he really cares, and teaches interesting topics. He left the final project super open, so I got to do my senior sem project on what really interested me. Very reasonable in expectations and timelines, and he cracks me up. A really good guy and professor

Prof Matute Castro is a great instructor. His class is alot of work but you will definitely improve by the end of the course. His class is very interactive and he will make you speak in spanish in class to him and your peers. There is alot of homework every week but exams are relatively straight forward. Highly recommend this professor!

Professor Matute Castro is incredible. I am not a native speaker but I am still doing very well in his class. Weekly online quiz and 2 papers. One of the papers is a final research paper with a presentation but it is not too hard and he is not too tough of a grader. As long as you are trying and putting in effort you will be fine!

Overall a great prof - available for questions, interactive class, plenty of opportunity to practice writing and verbal skills. Very patient when explaining concepts but treats you like an adult and expects commitment to the class. Only reason he doesn't get a 5 is that he tends to only give instructions for big projects 2-7 days before they're due

Though he means well and is an extremely nice guy, he is an extremely challenging professor in regards to Spanish! He is a native so it is hard for him to convey things in English and is highly persistent in you asking things in Spanish. However, he provides options for you to better your grade through small extra credit and going to his office.

He is absolutely awesome!!! Low textbook use, many partner/small group learning activities, few things to hand in & grade, not the best at posting grades, no tests or quizzes. Extremely caring, intelligent, great instructor, energetic, funny, & most of all: YOU WILL SPEAK A LOT OF SPANISH! Take him, I promise you won't regret it! He is the BEST!!!

This is my 2nd time taking Professor Matute Castro and he is by far one of my favorite professors at KSU. He is such a great teacher, he truly cares, and he makes the class fun. For my class we did have a lot of homework assignments but nothing too hard and as long as you were keeping up with that and participating in class its an easy A! Take him!

Prof. Matute Castro is an amazing professor! He does grade in a tough way, but it is very helpful when you are trying to improve in a language. He was very helpful in explaining verb tenses which can be confusing at times for both native and non-native speakers.
