Mr. Ortero is a great teacher. I got an A in both of his classes. I recommend taking intro and developmental together. There is lots of overlap.

You can relate to Mr. Otero, he's fun, he loves teaching and loves to help you out. Read the book, take notes, show up, listen, and ask questions before the test-- you'll get an A or B easily. Sometimes he gets on his soapbox, but he makes sure to let you know when he is on it. Careful not to take ALL the concepts to heart; they're only theories!
