Reviews of professor Maria Castilla

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lectures are short. Strongly rely on self-study and it is hard to get a good grade. She cares little about students' feelings.

She's a real gem! Get ready to read and do homework every night but it's not much and graded on completion only. Her exams and quizzes are all open book.

Once you do the readings and the homework, and take notes youll be fine. Yes it is a lot but it makes up for the fact that her pop quizzes and exams are open book. youre allowed to print material or even use the textbook as well as your notes. She gives her quizzes at the end of every chapter.

OPEN BOOK QUIZZES AND EXAMS! That is more than enough reason to take her class. She is nice, funny, and easygoing. Come to class, do the homework (graded basically by whether or not you did it), take the open book exams, and you should get an A. Quizzes at the end of every chapter, and homework every class. Print out the PDF if you have it.

Pop quiz every week but it's expected after learning a new chapter. Participation can help your grade a lot even if its 10%. Everything is open book so be sure to pay attention and take lots of notes. Class overall felt boring as the professor was just reading off her notes every lecture.

I started off really good the semester but towards the end unfortunate things have happened in my personal life and it become hard to juggle school and family. She really cares, I think as long as you try your best you'll pass the class easily. She definitely wants all her students to do well, all the extra bonus questions on exams helped SO much!
