Reviews of professor Ricardo Castillo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
No direction. No instructions. No constructive criticism. 15 points for a 10 participant survey you have to calculate composite variables for each. Not enough points for the amount of time spent on homework. He is quick to get upset when you ask a question. The stats Professor only used software, WE ARE IN 2022.

Ricardo Castillo has by far been the worst professor I have had at SAC especially within the Psychology department, he refuses to respond to emails and even when prompted to by academic advisors to respond to my emails (after 2 weeks of not responding to them) he ignored the advisors and didn't respond to my emails for the rest of the course.

A lots of homework and assigns 2 chapters a week, takes days to responds to students email, You have to buy the e-book (Cengage) to be able to do the homework/quizzes/exams. The material isnt hard. No lecture. Its only reflections, polls, quizzes, exams.

Psych 210 - Statistics for Behavioral Sciences

Absolutely NO instruction from the professor. There is a free, online textbook for stats which is the foundation of this course. Occasionally, Prof. will prelude the week's module with a 2-4 minute video, explaining what the module will be about. Other than that, this course is ENTIRELY SELF-TAUGHT.

Terrible teacher, too much workload and quizzes/tests plus online homework. His teaching method is bad. He reads from his slides and no further explanations are given. I Withdrew early and took it with a different school (LACCD) and received an A. He is a bad teacher for Research Methods.
