Reviews of professor Ricardo Castillo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class is pretty much self taught. He doesn't give clear directions and isn't helpful. If you need help and ask for it, he responds with a question or just makes you feel incompetent.

Professor Castillo is truly amazing, pushing students to excel and better prepare for the next step at a 4 year college. The challenges that come with the class inspire growth and resilience. Complaints often come from those lacking the drive to succeed, but for those willing to put in the effort, this professor is an invaluable mentor.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. This is my 1st time ever writing a RMP review and I'm doing it just for this guy. Accelerated 8-week with this professor is INSANE! He uses a suspicious borderline spyware Chrome add-on called Proctorio. I emailed him about my discomfort with it and he never got back to me. 15 assignments the 1st week. You bet I dipped.

lots/multiples of online home work, quizzes, and lab assignments all due the same day. Its very overwhelming and you easily get lost with course info. Teacher doesnt explain concepts well. Posts short 1-2min old YouTube Vid on a whole chapter and expect you to know everything. Too much testing and Zero teaching. Prepare to struggle.

The workload is very heavy and time-consuming; two modules every week. Class is also self-taught and if you have any questions, you'd be lucky to get a response on time or at all. And on top of that, he's a tough grader that gives no effort in feedback.

Do not take his online behavioral statistics class. This is ALL self-taught through a textbook, which is difficult to understand. A lot of homework, a lot of reading, the exams are almost 100 questions. Zero teaching from the teacher, office hours are short windows through the week. I definitely would not recommend this professor to anyone.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend taking this class unless you are confident in your ability to exceed their criteria consistently. The risk of losing points for minor errors can make earning a high mark difficult, consider whether the professor's grading approach aligns with your learning style and goals.

Do not take any class with this professor. He does not seem to care about his students. His online class is all self taught. Does not teach AT ALL! Replies to emails very rudely. He is a tough grader and leaves no feedback. His modules are very boring. A lot of work is due in one day. A lot of quizzes. Group work in mandatory. Worst professor ever!

I really enjoyed taking the class online. Read one chapter per week, multiple quizzes per week, 3 tests over the semester, one research paper. It was a lot of work... but it wasn't hard. He doesn't communicate much but he is available by email and will respond immediately. Overall, I would recommend taking his class.
