He is a very good teacher. He makes the class interesting and fun. He encourages participation, but if you don't like speaking in class, you don't have to at all. I enjoyed my time in his class very much.

Wonderful teacher, if you ever need help, he is the one to go to. Sometimes his voice is too soft and soothes you to sleep. But what he has to say is totally worth listening to carefully. Knows what he is talking about and genuinely interested in the students understanding the subject. Sincerely cares about his students.

very nice, very humble. the class is interesting enough and the reading isnt hard. i got an A. would recomend this teacher.

excellent teacher, I would highly recommend him. Truly cares for his students. Life learning lessons outside of course subjects. He encourages student participation but does not enforce it. He also encourages us to form meaningful relationships within the classroom.

Always has a positive attitude. Very Helpful, just the right amount of meaningful homework and interaction with class. This has been my favorite class!

Great guy and he really means well but he puts you to sleep if your not careful. He likes group work and disscussion within the class but to be honest I learned more from the RM's and friends in the class then him. He only did overviews of what our assigned reading was and didnt expand much on anything. The final was stupid and irrelevant.

I really like Brother Castro. The homework just consists of reading a certain amount of chapters and then writing a journal that just has certain points like what you felt as you read and what were some doctrines. I really enjoy his class and he is very interesting. Just show up to class and you'll do just fine!

I really, really liked Bro. Castro. He was so nice, it was a GOOD class, he didn't make you do a bunch of stupid stuff to get an A. It's pretty easy but also not a waste of time to go to class.

Bro Castro is awesome! I took him for D&C as well and he's great. Such a nice and calm guy and really inspires you to learn. Very organized class as well so that is a major plus for those who like that.

Great guy! His classes are so structured so for for of you who like that this is the teacher to take! He's such a sweetheart and really loves what he does. I highly recommend him :)

Brother Castro is extemely nice. I have had him as a Book of Mormon professor two semesters in a row. His lectures are a little dry but the homework load is totally worth it and the final is not intense.

I really enjoyed Castro's class. I learned a lot! There is one journal entry per class period, 3-4 pop quizzes all semester, one 7 page research paper, and a group project at the end of the semester, and there is a take home final. He is from South America so he has a little accent. Overall he is a great professors who gets to know his students.

Brother Castro is the sweetest, most sincere men! He truly believes what he teaches. Sometimes his lectures can be a bit dry, but a lot of the learning comes from your own scripture study. The final was actually pretty tough, but it'll be easy if you've paid attention to what you've been reading all semester. GREAT class!

You will not regret taking Brother Castro's Book of Mormon class. As long as you show up to class and do the daily reading and journals you will be fine. If you put in the time to prepare you will gain a lot out of his lectures.

Great guy! Love Castro. I took New Testament and Book of Mormon from him and got his class done in like a week because I did all my journals ahead of time and just read from there. Awsome guy and cool stories. Diffently an East Coast kids teacher.

Such a great guy! He truly cares about all of his students. All of his lessons are well planned and thought out. The class requires little, but gives a lot if you really invest in it. He is definitely recommended.

Br. Castro is one of the harder religion teachers I've had. However, he is a good teacher and provokes your mind. If you become seriously ill throughout the semester he is reluctant to accept late work and work with you on attendance.

He is a really nice guy. You can tell he really cares about his students. His journals are quite easy and helped me focus my daily scripture study. I had a hard time with his accent but other than that he was great.

He is a nice person, but I didn't get too much out of the class. He had good information, but it just didn't engage me. It's an easy class. Watch out for his end of semester morality quiz. He takes off 30 points if you weren't 100% honest to teach a lesson. Wasn't quite appropriate IMO.

He's humble, full of stories, and loves what he teaches--making class all the more enjoyable!

I had a very difficult semester, and rarely attended class. Bro. Castro took me aside and we talked about why I wasn't attending class, and we worked out a way for me to still pass. VERY UNDERSTANDING and CHRISTLIKE professor. I wish I would have gone to class more.

He is very understanding and has some very good insights. He does a lot to try to involve the students in the learning process.

Bro Castro was my favorite teacher by far. He cared more about me as a person than me as his student. He holds his students to standards and expects them to meet those standards. The class is not hard as long as you do all the assignments and show up to class. He doesn't grade harshly as long as he can tell that you tried and you learned something.

BEST PAKISTAN TEACHER EVER. he is helpful, he cared about the students and he is a nice guy. he is not arrogant or "know it all" like other teachers, yet he knows what he is talking about. he is the man. would have him again for sure.

Brother Castro is the best! He truly cares about his students as individuals and is a loving caring guy. He taught with the spirit and I learned so much from him

Brother Castro is an awesome teacher. Only two assignments per week. He does a group project and a paper in the middle of the semester. He takes attendance, so make sure you are there. He has some awesome insights to the Book of Mormon. No electronics are aloud in his class, and he will deduct 25 points if he sees them out. .

Great teacher, really cares about the students and the gospel. He does everything he can to help students get the grade they would like, but you do have to do your work and participate. He is a very good teacher, my testimony definitely grew as a result of his example of compassion, humility, and love. Great teacher.

People think his accent is hard to understand but I hardly notice it anymore. He's spiritual, and has an amazing testimony that he will bear at the drop of a hat. Do NOT have your phone out in class. He may not call you out, but you will lose TWENTY FIVE points out of your final grade if you do. Don't even pull up your scriptures on it. Great Guy!!

Brother Castro is a good man. He recently was released as a mission president so he is super spiritual. His lectures and assignments are super basic. No deep doctrine nonsense. He does a lot of open discussion for his lectures so the students can participate if they want to. He understands that conversion can't be graded so his grading is simple.

He's really a great guy! I loved his class, he can seem a little intense with rules at the beginning but he is a fantastic teacher. He recently returned home from being a mission president, so he's got the teaching with the Spirit thing down. He is one of the most humble and knowledgeable people I've met!

Brother Castro is awesome! Don't listen to what the other people are saying he is a chill guy and does not assign much homework for class at all. Read the NT and show up. One group project and one paper. That was it for the whole semester. It is true his lecture can be lengthy at times, but that's fine by me. What you put in is what you get out.

Brother Castro is the best professor. He likes the assignments specific, but they are simple and easy. The class is an easy A if you just do what you are asked. He is one of the most spiritual and inspiring teachers. He has strong passion for the gospel and sees his students as what they can become! He is amazing and I would highly recommend him.

Bro Castro is fairly easy, he is very humble and is very knowledgeable in the material. His voice is very soft, so it can be hard to stay awake in his class. There is a group assigned halfway thru and you will have a few projects (1 presentation) and an essay to write. It's not terribly difficult.

Brother Castro was a great teacher! I liked this class a lot, something I noticed was that we never really went into depth with anything that was taught and I wish we did. He gives you a lot of time to prepare for anything that is due. He's very kind and understanding, as long as you're not rude in class!

Brother Castro is a very nice guy. His work is very easy but do not take out your phone, eat, or sleep in his class. He gives you an integrity quiz at the end of the semester and it may result in 25 points taken off your final grade! Other than that, he is a very good professor!

I love Brother Castro! He is the sweetest professor I had at BYUI, and he was very passionate and knowledgeable about what he taught. He has a soft voice, so you have to listen pretty carefully to get everything he says, but I would definitely take his class again and thought he was wonderfully genuine.

Bro. Castro is very knowledge; he has travelled to Chile and Cuba himself and has shared a few his experiences with us in class. I've walked out of his class feeling blessed for having him as a teacher; one of the most genuine and respectful that I've had. Reach out to him if you've missed a day; he's willing to work with you. Put in the work!

Brother Castro's religion class was great. He's a very sweet man, and I learned a lot about religion from him. Most of the grading comes from the homework, which is pretty straightforward- it's all open book.

Brother Castro was a sweet heart. I came into class late with a cut on my finger and I thought he was going to cry for me! He even asked if I wanted to go home. He's a little silly, as in he airdropped me a picture of sacred heart Jesus cause I was on my phone in class, but he means well.

Brother Castro is a wonderful professor. Yes, he is quiet and perhaps is unable to cover the topics completely, but the Spirit is the real teacher in his class. I appreciated the opportunity to do a team presentation, delve deeper into certain gospel topics, and I appreciated the care he has for his students. I would recommend him!

He is a returned mission president and can get in depth. His lectures are high quality, yet not terribly in depth, though there are moments. There are reading assignments for every class, 1 research paper, and 1 group project. He tries to not create too much work outside of class.

I admit I sometimes had trouble staying awake in class as it could be a little slow, however if you bring honest questions to class he will go above and beyond to answer them. He's really a cool guy. You really get what you put into his class.

Brother Castro is very nice. His teaching style isn't very engaging but you get out of the class what you put in. If you have a question he is very easy to talk to. He has extra material you can look into if you feel the class isn't as deep as you would like. Make sure to work hard on the group presentation and essay, if you do you'll do well.

Thank God I didn't read the bad reviews. He is such an amazing teacher. I was scared because all the negative things many people told me about comp and how much effort you have to put to pass. However, Mr. Castro was very helpful and funny in class.

This class should be an easy A for anybody. You need to show up once a week for class which is 45 minutes long. Do 2 very small weekly reading assignments , their quizzes, and 1 discussion post a week. They are open note and very very easy. The questions are word for word in the reading. He has you write 1 paper, and 1 group project in the course.

Some weeks, there were a lot of videos and documents to read. You will give one presentation to the class, and do weekly discussion boards.

He is really nice but he talks so slow, so quiet, and he sets up his due dates really badly. He is a really sweet good man though. He just kind of put me to sleep.

He was the sweetest man! Beware, he has a really calming voice so I wouldn't recommend taking a class in the morning or late afternoon from him so you don't fall asleep. He didn't make class as interesting as I would have liked, but he was so nice and caring I feel bad saying bad things about him...

I don't understand all these bad reviews about Brother Castro. His lectures were truly amazing. I took his class for Jesus Christ and the Everlasting Gospel. He cared deeply about the topics and had sweet connections to each of them. Brother Castro does assign group presentations and assigns work but his expectations are clear and very doable.

Yes, his lectures are pretty dry, and you will do a lot of reading in the textbook for his class. However, he knows what he is talking about, and you learn a lot from his class. Expectations for assignments are clear, and it's still easy to succeed in this class. If you get your work done on time, all will be well.

Brother Castro is an amazing teacher. Lots of reading tho. most learning will be self taught through the book but better refined and explained in class. real caring guy with a smile always on his face.

I liked brother Castro. He obviously cares about his student individually, and accounts for the busy times in harder classes easing the workload off at the end of the semester. This semester, the class ended a week early!

Professor Castro is a good professor. He does assign a lot of homework, and a lot of reading. But I can tell he really cared about me-- and that he was really passionate and knowledgeable about what he taught. I felt the Spirit strongly in his class. If you can stay on top of homework and be respectful in class, you'll appreciate his great class!

Brother Castro is an amazing professor, he was so helpful and actually cared how I was doing. There is a lot of reading assignments but for the most part it's pretty light reading. Attendance is pretty important, don't be skipping class if you want a good grade. I definitely recommend taking his class, it's great for getting to know who Jesus is.
