Not only is her class easy and fun, but she is also one of the most caring professors I have ever had. She makes the lectures fun and makes you feel included. Makes the homework and quizzes so easy you basically do the test/quizzes group test. 10/10 would recommend. Not only is she like your friend in class but she is your friend outside of class.

Awesome professor. She grades pretty easily and I appreciate how authentically she cares about her profession and students. The class is somewhat writing-heavy but prompts are not too difficult. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about the Criminal Justice system and is very kind-hearted ("Love yourselves and be kind!")

It's an easy A, would take again. She's very understanding and allows late work. Also gives many extra credit opportunities and her assignments are very easy. The most difficult part of her class are just the stop for thoughts. A quiz for every chapter and a stop for thought every week, a midterm, and a final.

I loved professor Castillo's class, she is so knowledgable about her topic and even though there is a lecture every class, she makes it interesting and easy to follow. We had one writing assignment and one quiz each week, a midterm and final exam as well as a big final presentation. I would definitely take her class again.

She is very kind and entertaining which is on par with her extroverted personality. You are expected to engage and speak during lessons and her feelings get hurt when people just sit in silence so just talk.
