She is a great professor, she helps you a lot and tries to make the test easy for you, whatever she tells you thats what is gonna be on the test
The BEST TEACHER ever. she is willing to help the students and give advices to them. she is a very easy and if you follow her classes 4 sure you ll have an "A" in her classes. she gives a review be4 each test if you study that you don't need anything more
BSC2086LGreat Teacher! Easy and ALWAYS willing to help
THE BEST TEACHER IN NORTH CAMPUS. YOU CAN GET HER FOR ALL OF BSC CLASS. I RECOMMEND HER A LOT.
Mrs. Castellanos is an excellent professor and knows very well her field, she makes her class easy, and understandable. However, you need to read in order to understand better. Her tests are easy, 2 take home, 3 in class, one easy research and she gives you 20 points extra for perfect attendance. I personally recommend her 100%.
THE BEST PROFESSOR AT NORTH CAMPUS. I RECOMMENDED HER 100%.
She is the BEST teacher ever. I had her for BSC2085L & BSC2086L. All I have to say it's that she's great as a person but even better as a teacher. Helps a lot and it's interested in her student's need to learn. Take her!!! ;D
She is an excellent professor. She explains very clear all the lectures. There are 3 tests in class, 1 open book and 1 take home, so it is very easy to get an A with her.
Ms. Castellanos is an excellent teacher.I took her summer 07 12 weeks. I've learned so much in her class. The class is not boring. The test are easy, she will give you the topics that needs to review. She cares about her students progress. two thumbs up.
if you wanna an "A" take this prof. she is the best at north campus..... you must take her.
You truly learn on her class, and her test aren't complicate. Plus, she gives you extra credit on her test, two short written assignments, and one oral presentation of five minutes. The subject is not easy, but she knows a lot. She send e-mail reviews before each test. Excellent professor, and very dedicated to her students.
She is very helpful, and extremely nice. If you want to learn, have fun, and get a good grade take her best lab proffesor ever.
This professor is wonderful. She will go out of her way to help her students. You will have to read the book, but she sends chapter summaries and study guides for the tests. She was a professor to healthcare professionals back in Cuba; hence, very intelligent. You won't regret taking her class!
I thought that I was not going to make it because my major was (archit) in Cuba, but thanks to her sweetness and kwnoledge I learned enough to enter into the medical fields. You will learn a lot, and she will help you even after class. Take her and you will realize that all the comments were not enough. She deserves to be blessed. Thank you teacher
She is a very good teacher, if you read the book and learn the diagrams in the book, you'll do great. She has a bit of an accent, but other than that she's fantastic, i highly recommend her. She doesn't confuse you, Her notes are from the book. Just show up, pay attention and you'll be fine.
Excellent teacher. Very helpful and cares about her students. She has a lot of knowledge of the material. Take her you won't regret it.
She is the best of the best of the best anatomy's professor .she is great
She is pretty good. She does try to work with students and wants you to learn. She was real chummy with the spanish speaking students so if that's you you're good to go. Overall, I would recommend her.
Excellent teaching method, makes you study but then her tests are really easy. I usually studied right before the exam and got all A's. You have to do some homework and if you do, she will work with you on your grade.
Very good professor! I had her for lab and wished I took her for lecture. She's a part time professor but teaches and is more eager to help than some full time professors. I really enjoyed her class and she inspires students to learn. Her class is straight forward, learn the diagrams and you will do great! Get her class!!!
Really GOOD teacher. Very helpful and eager to help you learn. One of my favorite teachers @ MDC
She is the best. I just love her. I would take her wherever she is at MDC. Very nice professor, and very hot also.
great prof. makes the class fun. gives you a lot of material to study,but the tests are very easy. I recomment this prof. to students with an overload of classes or who work, and do not need the b.s. of profs. who do not know how to teach.
She is an angel! Loves to teach and really cares about her students. Miami Dade needs more teachers liker her.
A sweet and caring prof. Teaches well and gives the best. Outstanding.
I've taken her lab courses and she's the best of the best. I can't find anything bad to say about her. Make sure that you get together with your classmates to study for your midterm and finals. Summer term doesn't have midterms; only finals (which is harder). But she helps out a lot. Make sure you do your H.W. as its extra points.
She is an execellent professor.I took her for 2086L class.But, she confuses the lab with the lecture class,lab is only one cred and she makes you work for 10.Quizes every week,midt and final(very confuse models).She mixes the lect with the lab which it must be identification.You'll have to disect pig.For sure you'll learn,but work like beast.
(BSC2086L) Professor Castellanos is a great professor. She went out of her way to even help me get registered for her class. She's an easy A! Exams and quizzes are pretty easy and mainly just memorizing models from the textbook. She makes it easy! Just memorize the models & the few text info from the HW assignments -tests won't go beyond that!
She is super good , you have a midterm and a final but are really easy if you study ,she use the book every day and is require a lab coat .She is the best.
She is a superb person and professor. You have to study for her class but you will learn alot as well. She is straight forward and encourages you to learn. She has an accent but no biggie, take her you won't be dissapointed.
She is one of the best professors ive taken at MDC.She encourages you to learn and all the homework she gives really really helps you out in the end. Attendance is not mandatory but you will need to be there to get the information. I took her both for lecture and the lab. And it was a pleasure having her for my professor. I got a B in both classes.
She is the nicest professor in the world! She always makes learning fun. She reviews everything and some people say it's hard but its not. If you come to every class and be prepared you will get an A+ like me! PROF. CASTILLANOES IS THE BEST!!
She is the BEST proferssor MDC has. She loves Teaching and encourages you to learn.Gives homework from the book which covers the material for the exam. She goes out of her way to cover everything that would go on the test. TAKE HER, SHE IS GREAT AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED. You must study for all the exams and practicals.
If you want an easy A take Professor Castellanos. She makes learning fun, gives take home tests, and tells you exactly what will be on the test. She is a wonderful person and I thank her for a great learning experience.
She is wonderful! explains everything, very nice, cares about her students, always responds if you email her, and she is just great her quizzes and tests are super fair with class, i mean she is excellent!
Mrs. Castellanos should be your only choice if you are taking Anatomy. She is very smart, cares about all of her students; she wants you to do well in her class and understand the subject. Her class should be an easy A. As a teacher she is the best!
She is GREAT! Highly recommended. You actually learn in her class, she makes it fun and there are many oportunities to earn a good grade. Its an easy A though. She's one of the best at MDC.
Professor Castellanos is a very good teacher. He knows her stuff and will answer any question you ask. She cares very much about her students and gives extracredits. Her quizzes are fair. You have to be prepared for the lab and make the homework previouslly. If you study (not to hard)you will get good grades. I strongly recommend her.
She is a good professor but you have to study for the exams which are very fair. The problem is her accent but it is ok to deal with. I recommend her. she cares about her students.she is an easy A if you study and pay attention. she sends the study guide by email so that you can prepare yourself for the exams. Besides that, she is extremely HOT....
She is awesome! She goes over all the stuff you need for the exams and is very fair. She really cares a lot about her students (I think) and is the only way to go! If you are ready to do what you gotta do and study, she is a sure way to get a good grade!
She is a great teacher.I do recommend her she is a super A+.If someone is going to Nursind and failed her class that person must considering in dropping from school.She is the easiest I've ever seen.Just the best.I love you Marianela
Shes awesome, you do have to study, but she goes over what you need to study. If you study and do your hw then it should be an easy A. Im taking her again for Bsc2086. =]
AMAZING PROFESSOR!You have to study but it is worth it! She will help you and give you great reviews! She is a very sweet and caring professor! TAKE HER!
Took her for lab great professor, gives reviews, knows subject well!!! also very helpful has an accent but still understandable!
She is super awesome!!!!!! i Love her! best teacher in MDC, she is really really sweet and caring, and cares about her students she makes sure you understand everything i really enjoyed her class best of the best! TAKE HER!!! she is GREAT!
SHE IS GREAT &&& FUN!!! I PASSED WITH AN A. THE TEST ARE SUPER EASY
Be lucky if you can even get into her class!! Her classes are always full, and hard to get into because everyone wants to take her!! SHE IS GREAT! Very nice! and JUST TAKE HER you won't regret it!!!
she is the best proffesor!! she is very helpfull and carry about students learn.Get in her classwithout doubt.
Lab-Took her because of the reviews but her accent is horrible! You point to a structure & she says yes that's it then 2 seconds later she says I thought you were pointing @ that. She has no idea if she is going or if she is coming. Gave extra credit @ last minute. So many failed the midterm. Bad Reviews. Quizzes are hard. Nice person bad professor
I encourage student, who wants to learn A&P lab, to take this prof because you will absolutely learn from her and she is willing to help you. Nice & very professional, never mind the accent, you are in Miami. The most significant is that you will learn and pass.
Took her for lab, but most of my classmates also had her for lecture. She is an excellent professor, and a fantastic person. Anyone blaming their bad grades on her accent might want to consider just ending their college education. Thanks Marianela!
Really enjoyed her class. She's funny and genuinely cares about the success of her students. She has an accent but she makes learning fun. The responsibility is all on the student. You HAVE to study in order to pass. I didn't think I would pass. Freaked out at the beginning but I pulled an A. Lots of hard studying though.
She is an excellent professor, you will really learn with her. She gives reviews for the exams, and really tries to help her students pass and understand the subject.I want to take another class with her too bad she is part-time =[
I have her for lab. she is a kind person and wants everyone to pass. She makes it her business for u to kno everything she will test on. U have to study. some will have problems due to memorization but i got an A so i think if u try and show interest she will remember that
Awesomme... Very understanding if you show her interest she will make sure you do well. Mid term and final are everything you seen in class... Love her.. You wont be sorry
Thanks God I took her for A&P lab because I have learned in this class, What I didn't learn on the lecture. She really encouraged me to learn the material. I love the way she teaches. Great professor, I truly recommend her, If you have time to study.
Great professor really care about her students, you'll have to study. I had her for the lab. Overall great semester she is a sweetheart
I have both lecture and lab with her, and I learned a lot. She is nice and understanding. She knows her material and deliver it clearly. However, you need to study and pay attention. She uses the book a lot so you must read it. Also, if you have the code to practice online, is helpfully. She is a great professor and an amazing human being.
She rocks. Take her if you can find a seat in her room because her classrooms are always full. This is a great professor. I really enjoy this lecture because she teaches excellent!!!!
You can get a good grade if you read the book and do assignments she gives. Take her if you can, she is really good professor that cares that you understand the material
(this is for Lab)She is a sweet prof. I took her in the afternoon 3:15-5 her quiz, midterm and final and passable as long as you study the lab manual she gives some form of extra credit but dont depend on that you never know if she might not give it in your class I passed with an A
She is very sweet, cares for her students but the exams are a bit hard. You do need to study if you want an A, she covers a lot and expects you to know everything in detail. I got an A in the class but wasn't easy
(LAB) Shes super sweet and explains everything very well. but the class isnt easy. she gives a lot of HW and she randomly checks it to make sure you have it.
She's a very good teacher takes her time try's to make it as Easy as she can for everyone midterm & final was very fair we had a review for both Everything Based on the review we did . I would recommend her because there's not a lot of good human anatomy professors at Miami-dade
I took her for lab she really try's her best for everyone to understand and pass her class her midterm and finals was pretty fair
I took her for BSC2085 LAB. She is a great teacher who actually cares about the students. She points out what you must study. Of course is up to you to study. If you do your work and study you should do well. It's all about how much effort and time you put in to it. She does her part great as a professor the rest is up to you the student.
Took her for Lab, and she is an amazing instructor that wants to see her students do well. Lab book is mandatory, HW is easy, but study for tests, they are meant to be alittle difficult so when Mids and Finals come they are a breeze and you've really understood the material. She is kind, gentle, always pleasant, and sweet woman. Highly recommended!
Castellanos is what teachers should aspire to be clear and not strict. I have to sign up for her bsc2086 class before you!
Prof. Castellano is the best! Took her for the lab and passed with a B, I didn't get an A cause I didn't really studied for two quizze, but she'll give you a lot of opportunities for you to earn point that'll help you at the end. Wish I could take her for BSC2086L.
She is the best, I took her for anatomy my final grade was A. She gave us a lot of opportunities in order to improved our grades
GREAT LAB PROF. SERIOUSLY TAKE HER!!!
Super sweet and helpful Prof. She has an accent, but it's understandable. Assignments online, HW in book, group presentation, 2 tests, midterm, and final. YOU HAVE TO STUDY, 'cuz the subject is not easy. Book is mandatory! Glad that I took this subject with her, she is great. Highly recommended.
She is super helpful! Has to to be one of the most available teachers at MDC. The book, I didn't take it to class much because it was huge but she does open book test from time to time so you will need it (btw, the earlier you buy your books the cheaper it is). Also, she requires the access code, even if you're a mini term ??
Please yourself a favor a take this professor. I can only say wonderful things about this professor. Besides her kindness and high knowledge. She is so helpful she encourage me to continue on and study harder this helped me even on my lecture. I got an A. I worked hard but it wasn't stressful. Summer term was made possible only bc of her.
Love her! she is an amazing professor. she is clear with all her material, motivates us to do good and study. she is just amazing! she will do anything to help you pass but do not slack off because she will not help you if you arent putting your part. do the hw! really helps with quizzes. before tests go to the lab you will pass. highly recommend
I grew love for this teacher. SHe's so sweet and teaches well. She knows her stuff. She really motivated me not to be affraid and do well. I got an A. I study of course.
Professor Castellanos is the most caring professor I have had in a while. She is always ready for lecture and explains everything crystal clear. There are no exams in class other than midterm and final. Homework, participation and online activities are crucial to success in class. Got an A, and learned a lot. I am taking her again for BSC2086L
Best professor out there! She was truly an amazing professor to have. She is very kind, sweet, attentive and she knows her stuff very well. Very easy to hold a conversation with, and as long as you try in the class and she sees that she will give you tips to try to improve. I am taking her again for BSC20866L this summer. Highly Recommended !
She was a very good teacher and she is very nice I wish she was teaching BSC2086L next semester I would definitely take again class was so stress free. Definitely take her she is great and she gives extra credit and a lot of chances
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Gives easy homework off the lab manual, quizzes every class if you take her on the summer, midterm and final (very easy). Lectures are super fun. Not an easy A, she'll make you work for it. Just try to do your best in quizzes, it's the hardest thing of the class. FINAL WAS SUPER EASY (in sections) TAKE CARLOS CORREA FOR AN EASY A
I wouldn't recommend taking this professor for a mini- term. 1) the home work is way too much 2) covered way to much material for a mini term ( feels like your cramming and not really learning)
Amazing professor! Love her teaching style and she really makes the point come across. My major is medicine, so I am actually interested in this subject, but even if you are not, she makes sure that you understand the material and has no problem going over it again with you if you do not understand.
Although her accent is thick she is very thorough. She is a brilliant instructor because she really knows her stuff & is passionate about it. If you need extra help, she will take the time to sit with you to make sure you understand. The tests are tough but if you do the worksheets she posts & study them you'll pass.
Participation matters,respected by students, would take again, get ready to read.I took her at Broward College.
Great professor, loves her job and her students. Would def recommend. You need to study hard but she will help you if you ask for it and show you care. One thing- she has a very thick accent, so if that is difficult for you consider another professor.
She's a great professor. She knows her stuff and wants you to pass. She will try to do anything she can to help you pass but you have to put in your part and study because the material is hard.
she was a great teacher I would take her again1 group project she let you pick the topic only a 2 page essay doesn't need to be perfectly structured and a power point3 tests and a few quizzes she gives you a minimum of a week notice and also gives a review.. uses the text book but not really mandatory strong Spanish accent but very understandable
Overall she is a good professor, there to help you & shes very sweet. The test are hard, you will only pass if you study, this isn't an easy class, but her grading scale gives you the chance to achieve a good grade. I recommend her as a teacher and you honestly will not regret taking her! Just put some effort and you will definitely pass!
Professor Castellanos is the real deal. If you really want to learn Human Anatomy take her! She made me fell in love with my future career even more. She really knows pedagogy and EVERYTHING you need to know about the human body. Take her if you are really serious abt your future in the health care field. She is a very good teacher.
Pay attention to class, you can find additional help online. Cares about her students and will really help you understand all the material, but yes you must study, you'll have opportunities for extra credit. She's awesome.
She is not a bad professor however she does try to keep up with the lab and lab obviously goes faster than her actual class. Be ready to study the partsof the chapter she doesnt go over because she spends two clases one whole long chapter. THERE ARE NO REVIEWS OR STUDY GUIDES. She has three test and four quizzes. GOODLUCK!
Expect a quiz each lab. She does offer extra credit assignments, which is helpful! Midterm and Final are stations where you must identify structures and write down answers, no word bank or MC. Bonus questions. If you're willing to put in the time and study, I would recommend! She's very nice, I'm glad I took her.
She gives lots of h.w. which are not worth much. Does NOT give notes, study guides. She just talks throughout the class & has very thick accent. Does not write anything on board. Lectures with PowerPoint, switches slides too fast. Rarely used book. Tests and quizzes almost every week. She doesn't care if you get it or not. You're better off online.
This professor is amazing, her class is easy only "IF YOU STUDY". Anatomy is not something to sit an relax, if you are taking anatomy is because you want to be in the medical field. There's no one better to teach you than Ms. Castellanos. She is a Cuban doctor and used to be a Medicine professor in Cuba. Amazing how she explains everything so well
Anatomy is not an easy course but this professor teaches it in a way that you will truly learn the material. Expect a lot of work (both in H.W and exams) but great results as an outcome. She is an amazing professor that I would recommend to anyone who genuinely wants to learn and prepare themselves for the medical field.
If I could take this professor for every class, I would. She is a great professor whom is very enthusiastic about teaching and genuinely wants her students to not only pass her class but understand the material. There a lot of exams, H.W, and extra credit opportunities. You MUST work hard to pass her class because the material itself is not easy.
Definitely not an easy course but this professor makes it very interesting. She explains everything as easily as she could so that her students can better understand the material. There are a lot of exams but she gives plenty of extra credit opportunities No final or midterms but there is a REALLY easy group presentation in the end of the semester
I would recommend this professor to anyone who wants to learn. A lot of exams and some H.W but you really need to STUDY to pass her class. It is not an easy course, but she makes it as interesting as she can because she wants her students to really learn the material. She is enthusiastic about teaching and is very caring towards her students.
I have taken this professor for all the anatomy classes she has to offer and I would take her again for many more if I could. She is an amazing professor (I wish all professors were like her.) Her class is not easy at all and you really need to study in order to pass but I would recommend her if you really want to learn the material.
If you want to actually learn about anatomy, this is the best professor to take. It is not an easy class because the material itself is difficult but she is always there to explain it in a way that will make you understand. Almost every class is a quiz or test but there's no final. As long as you study you'll pass her class. I really recommend her.
Professor Castellanos is such a caring and wonderful professor. She cares about her students and knows a lot about her field. She's very helpful with students, test and quizzes are not difficult if you read the book. She does not make tests tricky or difficult.
very knowledgeable professor, knows her stuff, cares about her students, if you work for it she will help you pass the class, but you have to study.
She is very caring with the student. Never miss the first class, she would have to drop you from the class and then it is going to be a headache to get admit again. If you study hard you can get a good grade but be prepare to study hard. Do not miss classes she give you 10 extra point for attendance and for doing the review sheets every week.
I loved her so much. she really knows anatomy. Here's a tip, record what she says. I took her for lab and she was great.
Shes a good professor, shes helps as much as she can to help pass her class. She gives extra credit and homework, the homework helps with the test. Also for the in class assignments you can use the book. Shes clear as to how she teaches goes along with the book and also has power points to show as well as with videos to reinforce whats taught
strong accent, not the issue. She is cool but you need to work for your grades. Do all the connect Assignments, hw, because they are your grades. I took her for SPRING both Lab & lecture. And I passed both with A. Don't expect the test the same way you read from the book. Go alone with her outline. If you are looking for EASY A PLEASE THINK AGAIN
This professor is by far one of THE BEST i have taken she is sooo caring and really knows what shes talking about she has sooo much knowledge its crazy her way of teaching is cut to the point and very clear if you have any questions she will do her best to explain in a way you understand the concept GREAT PROFESSOR WOULD TAKE AGAIN 100%
Superb professor! Teaches you what you need to know for exams, but you should definitely read textbook. Cares about your progress in the class. Reviews material right before tests/quizzes. Will keep you updated on your grade & is very willing to aid you as best as she can. If I had to take another anatomy course, I would definitely take her again.
Professor Castellanos was awesome, and made the material understandable. Had a lot of fun while learning about A&P.
Had her for BSC2085L and now for BSC2086 . Once again great professor. Amazing lectures. Loved her. Wish I could take her again.
Professor Castellanos is your favorite professor and your favorite tia rolled into one. She will cover burn victim treatment and the importance of safe driving in the same lecture. She can tell whether or not you care about the course, she knows who is paying attention. If she knows you are trying, she will do anything she can to help you pass! :)
Great professor and she takes time to know all her students. Took during the summer and the workload was overwhelming. Test, quizzes, a paper/project, it was something everyday. She was willing to work with you if she noticed you put in the effort and extra credit was available.
Great professor!!! easy hw and quizzes for lab. She cares about her students. I can't wait to take her class again. I recommended everyone to take her class. She's the best
I LOVE HER! Best lab professor hands down. She cares for her students and as long as you don't miss class and study you will be fine! Anatomy is hard subject as is, therefore you should spend the time to read it and get familiar but she helps you the most that she can.
It's for sure not an easy A but you can pass if you try.
She is kind, and teaches thoroughly. She provides you with power-points. I recommend renting the textbook since it's helpful. She has a total of 4 quizzes and 3 major test. She provides extra credit opportunity through online connects. There is no mid-term or final. She will teach in detail make sure you take notes during class. I highly recommend!
For lab make sure to buy the book and coat. There are 6 quizzes, a mid-term, and final. You are seated in groups. Take notes during her labs as they turn out very helpful for testing. She is kind and very helpful. Complete all of your lab assignments in the book. Everything is reviewed and graded.
This professor really loves what she does and it shows. Her classes are always the first to fill because shes an outstanding educator. She explains in detail each lesson. I wish most professors were like her. Take her if you can. This professor definitely stands out from the rest.
Excellent professor!! Definitely I would love to take her again!! Loved her lab classes. She gives a lot of extra credit and also gives quizzes & assignments that helps you to study and get the best grade. Books are necessary
Super nice and caring. 5 quizzes. Midterm is a bit difficult. Final was super easy. gives 5 extra points towards your lowest score. Assignments are all the review pages in the lab manual. also gives extra credit for attendance. Take her
Professor Castellanos is an amazing professor. I wish I could have taken her for A&P 2. She is extremely caring and wants you to pass but of course you have to put the work in. There is a lot of assignments but she gives so much extra credit and it helps A LOT. As long as you do your part there is no way you wont pass this class.
Shes the best. I would take her again. She works with you her lectures are on point. Her power points are start forward, everything you need for test and quizzes are on the power point.
She makes that class harder than it actually is.
Very nice Professor, she will help you with any questions with homework or lecture. One of the best Professor I had. Loved her! Take her!
She cares about each of her students and wants to make sure everyone understands what shes lecturing about. Its a touch class but if you put the effort and study you can pass. Most effort and teaching is done by yourself but the professor is good backbone for you and any questions you may have.
Obviously hard material, but great professor. She really explains the material if you don't get it. What she repeats over & over WILL be on exams. No final or midterm for lecture, just exams and quizzes. STUDY the material to pass. Exams are not word for word from the book. Understand the material. Only final and midterm for lab. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
She is caring and hands on. Covers the material well and gives extra credit opportunities. Midterm, final, and homework assignments from the lab manual. Connect assignments online are a bit tedious, dont procrastinate. She is sweet and wants to see her students succeed. Take her class!
She's nice but she gave too much work on connect. plus the tests were really hard on connect. She wouldn't give you enough time to do it so you pretty much have to guess towards the end if you're not a fast test taker.
Castellanos is such a nice caring professor. She lectures very well and really makes sure you understand. I took her online so it was a lot of homework but nothing hard. Amazing professor! take her!
She is a very nice professor. Shes not rude. She just have a thick accent but she cares about making her students pass. For online learning, there were ALOT of assignments on connect. But she was there if we needed any help. The tests were a little hard for me. I was supposed to pass with an 89 but she bumped my grade to a 90. TAKE HER
Love love love this professor! I took her for BSC 2085 and BSC 2086 along with lab. Shes amazing and gives study guides for her test. Read, study, and listen to her lectures. Tests will be easy if you study and do her study guides. You learn so much with her.
When it comes to class work its not too difficult because it comes from the book but when it came to her midterms it was probably the hardest most difficult thing to study for! She doesnt give study guides and even when I did study what she briefly said to, 20 out of 50 were what she said to study and the rest, brand new material DO NOT TAKE
Professor Castellanos is a great professor, I took her class for Fall 2020 and will be taking it again for 2086. Trust me, she wants and cares that her students pass this class. She provides you with a condensed version of the chapters in study guides and you do have to read. There is a lot of homework but she gives you time to complete them :)
She truly is a great professor. Her lectures are full of information so its best not to miss class. You need the textbook and the homework and quizzes are online. There are only 3 test but she gives excellent reviews and send outlines of the major information that will be on the test. If you attend lectures, read & do the homework, you will pass.
One of the best professors I have ever had, she does her best to be fair with class and helped me out throughout with any questions that I had. I 100% recommend you take her, her class consists of mostly assignments and quizzes and 3 large tests. I wouldn't say it is an easy A however since this is anatomy so you need to actually study for tests.
One of the best professors I have ever taken, 100% worth taking her because you learn so much! She is so understanding and will help you through the course if you need it! The class is mainly graded with assignments and quizzes with 2 main tests and a final anatomical quiz that was extremely easy. You do need to study though to pass.
LOVE HER CLASS! She is super nice, understanding, and wants you to understand the content. There is homework and quizzes but they are easy just take ab 30 mins to an hour each. She gives 3 exams, and provides outlines. For the exams I recommend studying by reading the power points and the answering the questions at the end of the chapters.
She is one of the best professors I have ever had. She cares about her students more than anything and asks people to reach out so she can help. She provides study guides and pretty easy tests. Make sure you read the material and she loves when you participate in class. If you try she will be better than you could possibly believe. Best prof. ever.
When it comes to learning a new subject you have no background in, find a professor that you can understand. Strong accent with unfamiliar terminology difficult time for the entire semester. Online lectures, didn't want to record so we can show up. It would've been nice to go back and listen to what you didn't understand. Learned via textbook.
Shes the most understanding professor Ive ever had. Shell extend due dates for you. Shell Re-open quizzes and assignments on connect to get a better grade when you ask. Took her for Lecture and Lab AP2. Lecture- 1 proctored & 2 non proctored exams. Lab was not proctored. She makes sure you understand the material.
Best teacher ever! She is kind and makes sure you learn. You do need to pay to get the connect book and all the work for the class will be there. You have weekly assingments, quizzes, exams, but they are due later. You can get all the work done at once or work with the scheadule.The work is mid hard but does take alot of time but due dates are good
This is your sign to take her. She's very kind and knows what she is talking about. I feel like being engaged in the class is the key to passing.
Very considerate of students lives and situations. Pretty good lectures and will explain things multiple times if needed. Minimal tests and doesnt make them heavily counted in the grade book. Online assignments are heavy but very helpful and useful.
She is amazing! She explains the anatomy very well and wants you to do good in her class. She also wants you to participate in answering her questions and does mini reviews of the class before.
I LOVE Professor Castellanos, and will remember her for the rest of my life! I took her for both A&P 1&2 lec and A&P2 Lab, everything about this woman is amazing! Her energy, her spirit, her KNOWLEDGE on the subject. YOU WILL LEARN from her. And you will love it, I looked forward to her classes. Appreciate that woman. She's the last of her breed!
I had a great experience with Prof. Castellanos! She is very caring and wants her students to do well. She even provides study guides, outlines, and STEM lab reviews to prepare for her tests. I took her for A&P 1 lecture and will be taking her for A&P 2 lecture and lab next semester! Highly recommend!
I absolutely love her and still carry the utmost respect for her. I took her for both A&P 1&2 and her labs, currently in the nursing program and and what I learned from her is truly carrying me through. TAKE HER, ENROLL NOW, DO NOT HESITATE. YOU WONT FIND A BETTER OPTION. I promise you wont.
this class was kind of hard at first because I was lost but I got on track. She is easy if you follow her guide lines she gives for every exam. she pretty lenient the only thing is her accent is super strong and basically lecture classes are just talking and reading, but after all it was good
She is extremely knowlegdable and has this astrange ability to remeber every single detail about human anatomy. My personal disadvantage was understanding her accent, she also writes completey in acronyms when she lectures. So your verbal understanding, aubible lecture, is the only way she teaches. So if your a visual leaner you will struggle.
Prof. Castellanos is an amazing teacher - very caring and helpful. The class is manageable if you stay on top of the work. I found unstuck ai and the textbook super useful for studying.
Professor Marianela Castellanos is an excellent instructor who makes complex topics easy to understand through clear lectures and practical examples. She creates a supportive, engaging environment, encourages participation, and provides helpful feedback. Her passion for teaching truly inspires her students to succeed.
Took her for A&P 1 and 2 lecture and lab. Anatomy and Physiology is not an easy subject, but it is great to take it with a professor like her. She truly cares about your success.
heavy accent which is frustrating for anatomy but most of the work is online completion based except for 3 tests which heavilyyyy impact your grade. she rambles a lot but its because she's really knowledgable in her field. no notes allowed during tests, usually 1 taken at home and the other 2 in class. ends class early and gives a break.
Castellanos is super fun, really cares for her students, and is passionate about her subject. I found her class easy and enjoyable but I would say beware of her very heavy accent. I could understand her better but that is because I myself speak Spanish so I could get what she was saying at times. Easy enough homework. Def show up to class!
If you're not a fast learner, or if studying takes you a little more time like it does for me, you'll need to stay on top of your game and avoid falling behind, there's a lot of information to cover. This class isn't just about memorization; it's about truly understanding the functions of the human body. It's definitely not an easy class! She's gr8
Her syllabus is very clear since Day 1; she teaches everyday the whole class time; tests are camera proctored; all assignments are given in McGrawHill Connect; gives a lot of homework, but gives plenty of time to complete them so it is manageable; answers emails super quickly as well; overall a great teacher tat wants students to learn and grow.
She is very sweet and very fun to be around! Heavy Spanish accent btw so you might struggle a little to understand her at times. Very passionate about her subject and gives good feedback. She really wants you to pass and will do her best to help you if you are struggling. Extra credit for the final at the end of the semester. Lots of HW!
She is a wonderful, caring professor. This is a tough course but she will help you in any way that she can! The study guides are made available,,,its up to you to study,If you study, you will do well
I loved her and I loved this class! You can really tell she cares for her students and for the subject. One of the best professors I ever had. Very hands on and she is so open to helping you out if you ask. Her voice is also super soothing so the lectures were nice to listen to. I would highly recommend taking her class!
She is very sweet, caring and engaging. Invites you to participate in her lectures, asks you questions. Heavy Spanish accent but soothing voice. Lots of homework. You have to study for this class, but she helps you, explains everything very well, and gives you study guides and chapter summaries.
This course was fully online/ a shorter term & the professor did not seem to adjust her resources or teaching to that. She gave all work & PowerPoints directly from the book without narrowing down anything to focus on/providing any study guides/study material. The final had things that were never part of the coursework. Taught myself everything.
8 week A&P class is obvi intimidating since everything's condensed but Castellanos makes it doable. No mid/final BUT 4 proctored exams worth 40%. Study guides included. McGraw Connect HW assignments and small ch. and module quizzes (not proctored). Lectures were long and disorganized. Has E.C. opportunities and likes participation in class.
She wants her students to pass. I had her for Anatomy II lab—she used the full class time, and the work and tests were online. The final was in person but easy if you studied. She gives extra credit and is very knowledgeable in her department. Her accent is strong, but you understand if you study. I would take her again and recommend.
One of the best professors I have taken. There is a lot of work, but it is repetitive in a good way, which helps the material really stick and prepares you well for the exams. She is understanding, supportive, and always available to help students. I would give her a 10/10.
