Took this class for statistics and passed with 1 point over the maximum amount. He wrote his own lectures and homework for the entire semester because he didn't like how expensive the stats book is. He would lecture, then give time for homework at the end of class. Not only that, but he treats you like an equal, not like someone less than you.

Professor Castro is such an amazing professor. I took him online due to COVID for the summer, his lectures are straight to the point, he explains what is important, and is very clear. I enjoyed his online class, I will admit I was a little scared taking Stats online because I am not a math person, but he really made it so easy to understand.

I took Professor Castro during COVID-19, fall 2020 online. HE IS THE BEST. Go to his office hours. He takes his time to explain, he is caring, and you learn a lot from his video lectures. I was scared of taking Multivariable Calc but he made it make sense, fun, applicable. HW was a good amount to supplement tests. 4 exams. 2-3 sections HW per week

Loved this professor. I was nervous about taking math online. He has recorded lectured which aid in viewing them on your own time. His homework is created by him. You will need to print and turn in. Tests are also made. Same as homework. It was extremely easy. Watch lectures and do your work. You will get an A. Has meetings if help is needed.

I took professor Castro in the Spring of 2019. Best decision I ever made. From the start I was learning and retaining all the material because he has a smooth method of teaching and if you don't understand something he will clarify. He will dismiss class early but stays until the end if anyone wants to stay and ask questions or needs extra help.

Barely passed with an A but trust me TAKE ALL YOUR MATH IN SBVC WITH HIM. 4 Exams, 1 final, 7 chapters (roughly 1-3 HW assignments per chapter). Drops the lowest test. Gives you 10 attempts on HW (Super lenient). Study guide before test, lectures are very detailed (Provides lives demos & PDF). Go to his office hours, very helpful. Would take again.

One of the best professors Ive had, especially online. He always provided video lectures that were easy to understand as well as notes for each chapter. The video lectures were around 30-40 minutes long but they really helped me understand the material. Tests were also very simple as long as you watched the lectures.

Professor Castro is the best math instructor I've had while at Valley. He was always in a great mood, and made complicated subjects easy to grasp. You can tell when a professor loves their job and professor Castro definitely loves teaching. He explains everything concisely, and if students do not understand will explain it in a different way.

Professor Castro's lessons are relatable to everyday life, and he is very thorough when he gives explanations. He is very easy to understand and comprehend in my opinion. Math has always been a huge stress to me and for the first time I had confidence with this subject. I highly recommend Professor Castro if you have struggled in math like me!

I haven't taken a math class in over 10 years and I also did not do well in high school. I was extremely nervous to take an online 4-week statistics course, but Professor Castro was amazing! He articulated his lectures through videos and PowerPoints so well that I got a 98%! if you're nervous about taking a math course TAKE IT WITH PROF. CASTRO!!!

His slides and YouTube channel are direct and to the point. Very helpful in understanding the material and uses helpful life examples that demonstrate the subject with finances and nursing. A couple assignments due every Sunday that are 20 questions the most for each assignment and the usual rate of exams, like 3 or 4. Great Professor.
