great teacher! ALso,very help-ful and easy to get 'A' if you do not absence and all done your homework.
He is an awesome teacher. Very goofy, easygoing and truly cares about his students. You may not consider this class a MUST HAVE but if you do take it make sure it's with him.
Ro was an inspiring teacher. He would always make us leave the classroom hoping that the next class would be sweeter than the last. There are no boring lectures or presentations, but a thrilled speech built with real life experience. We ended the class with a toast for a better future.
If you need to take Learning Framework, take Mr. Castillo! He is very friendly, funny and helpful. He makes the class feel like a family and helps with all of the assignments. He keeps the class fun and I always leave in a good mood. There is an online response post over each chapter due at the end of each week and I always felt prepared for tests.
Easy class, need to put in some work. Teacher is great!
Professor Castillo is one of the best professor at Richland, Eay A, You never get bored in the class. I highly recommend him to take .
BEST TEACHER EVER. His classes are so much fun. Awesome teaching style. Learned so much. Easy A & he brings chocolates and donuts to classes. :D TAKE HIM!!!
i think one of the best teacher and class i ever had. He is best at his work and you never want to miss the class. Outstanding teacher with outstanding teaching skills. If u taking Educ only take his class. You will never regret.
BEST TEACHER EVER! He makes the class so much fun for us and his teaching style is amazing. Learned so much. Wish he taught other subjects too. Easy A & he brings chocolates and donuts for us in class! TAKE HIM!!
Great passionate prof. switches up desks and group work to keep you engaged. I had to miss a lot of classes due to my work schedule, but I still made an A
Prof Castillo is AWESOME! He is always in a great mood and actually cares about his students. I have learned a lot in his class. He comes up with all kinds of activities to keep us paying attention. We laugh all the time bc we are free to give our opinion when we want. He is really GREAT!!
BEST TEACHER AT RICHLAND!!! ALL I CAN SAY TAKE HIM
If you have to take this class, take it with him... he makes it as interesting as possible. trust me working and going to school full time can be a hassle and hard to focus but he kept me focused lol. All assignments are easy so its an essay A if you do the work. if you are lazy than I dont recommend, but its college so do what you gotta do.
Such a great professor and a great class. He never makes his class boring and always talks about his experience with college and previous students he's had. If you're going to take EDUC I highly recommend Professor Castillo!!
This class is bs but professor Castillo will make it at least bearable. Very little work and only one project that you pretty much do all in class. Expect to do tons of corny group activities in class and you definitely need the textbook. If you have to take this class i'd recommend professor Castillo.
Ro is a great professor, always in a good mood and passionate about what he does. I was never once bored or overwhelmed in this class and he makes it fun. This is a required class so do yourself a favor and pick him.
In his Fall 2014 class! :) I didn't want to take any class that wasn't required for my degree, but man, it's a real pick me up. Ro has a charming personality and shows up to class with a great sense of humor, showing understanding, kindness, and respect to all serious students. He's goofy, but inspiring. Pick Ro for your teacher, he's worth it.
Very excellent professor. He loves his job and that makes his classes interesting. I'm glad that I took his class for Spring '14. I highly recommend him.
He is the best professor you could take. He is passionate for what he teaches and makes his lecture easy to understand.
if i had a choice between this class and pizza, i would pick this class and order a pizza.
Ro is the best teacher I've ever had. He knows exactly what he is going to teach. We will remember the lesson easily because of his real examples. I extremely like his real examples. I'd highly recommend him.
Professor Ro is very intuitive, he's very clear and understanding and gives great life examples he experienced that relates to the material we were learning. A very sincere and knowledgeable man, who is very generous and appreciates participation from every student at least once.
Professor Ro is such a sweetheart! He loves teaching and he loves his students. He is always so friendly and happy to be in class. I did not want to take EDUC, but I am glad I took it with Ro because he is simply a joy to be around. The class is easy, and he is a truly great person. I would recommend. God bless him.
I love when a professor is passionate of what they teach, it's just so easy and natural, that is exactly professor Ro!! I love the fact that he would always incorporate his personal experiences, he defiantly motivated for the rest of my life! What's waiting at the end is so worth it!
He is very passionate about teaching and even when he told us his personal experiences, its very motivational! He honestly motivated even more to not give up regardless of tough situations! We need more professors like him who care and really enjoy what they do!
If college was a video game, EDUC-1300 would be the tutorial level. You won't learn anything mind-blowingly important, but you will get a good feel for what's expected in college. I highly recommend taking it in the summer right before your first semester starts. Also, Castillo is one of the coolest and easiest teachers you'll ever have!
Professor Ro was awesome! He was very clear and helpful, gave plenty of extra credit opportunities, and was very encouraging. He was also really understanding of the time I had to take off (which was one week). His class was tons of fun! I would recommend him to anyone!
I hated that this class was mandatory. But it actually made my day better . It's a class about learning . Odd I know. But ro is great and lectures are good he gives extra credit always understanding and really makes you think of things. Clear cut instructions . And he's funny on top of that.. Would recommend highlyJust show up with an open mind
I was really bummed that this class was mandatory, but Professor Ro made spending the money on this class worth it. He was really funny and seemed super passionate about what he was teaching. He's not a hard grader and he gives lots of extra credit opportunities. He also seems to really care about his students.
Professon Ro is an amazing teacher. He makes the class interesting and you can tell he loves what he does. I was skeptical about having to take this class at first, but I wish it would have been longer now. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email him. He is very helpful and easy to talk to.
Ro is a great professor. He will always help you and is willing to answer any questions! He is so passionate in what he teaches which makes it very fun! The class itself may seem like a waste of money when you begin, but it will help you out a lot in the long run! Take his class! You won't regret it!
Best Professor in Richland.
He's great! The lessons are very interesting. You do some partner/group activities, but they're fun, plus you meet new people in class! He has a very nice personality! The quizzes are online & open book. I definitely recommend Professor Ro for EDUC!
He's great!
He was okay. Nice teacher to everyone, but whenever I would raise my hand or answered a question I was over looked. I even emailed him for help on one of our assignments and received "who is this" and a response, I did provide information as to what class and assignment. But he has a good way of teaching making you engage with one another.
He is a great Instructor. Really cares for his students. I hope to see him around campus through my time at Richland.
Best professor at Richland.
Best teacher ever! You should receive a 100 in the course, if you work for it. Chapters are easy to read and only a few pages long. Quizzes are based off the book and you can do extra credit to make up for a missed questions. If you build a connection with him, he will help you out. The class is very engaging.
he is awesome. You will get an A if you go to class and read the textbook carefully. Very easy class. Quizzes is not difficult at all
Professor Ro was a great teacher. I was a bit annoyed at having to take this class because i didn't find it necessary and yet hes still made his lectures interesting and caught my attention. If yo keep up with the books chapter quizzes, one due each Sunday, you'll be fine. I missed quite a few days and was still able to pass with an A.
Awesome professor
He is a great Professor in Richland.
I highly recommend professor Ro !
By far, has been one my favorite professors! At one point during the semester, I was failing another class and one of his learning assignments helped me get back on track and passed that class! You can definitely tell that he loves what he does and cares about his students!!
He is the best teacher I ever mate. He is inspirational and thoughtful. He motivate us to look our future and by offering speaker guests and showing wonderful inspirational videos. He care about student and also love to share his personal and other people's important life experience.
Take this professor if you can! He is very caring for students, funny and easy. There is extra credit! The tests are pretty much easy if you read the chapter few times. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I would highly recommend Prof Ro. I enjoyed it so much that I wish I wouldve waited to take his class during my fall semester instead of Summer being it was soooo short. You will learn a lot in his class. He also truly cares about his students and is passionate about his job as a prof :) I wish he taught other courses at Richland as well!
Proffesor Ro is the best! Highly recommend him. Very caring, friendly, and funny.
Professor Ro was the first person I met (and first class I took) at Richland. He is an intellectual, kind, and caring guy who truly cares about every student. He's one of those professors that goes above and beyond to make sure you're succeeding not just in his class, but in life. HIGHLY recommend taking his class!
Professor RO, was amazing! I'm really glad that I had the honor of taking this class. I loved his way of teaching you could really tell he was genuine in what he was saying. He cares about his students and really wants to see them succeed. Professor RO was great, five out of five stars!!

BEST PROFFESOR AT RICHLAND! I truly enjoyed his class, he was very motivating and cares about his students!
His lectures are AMAZING. Had him for EDUC 1300 and he has not failed to disappoint any student. His assignments are simple, straightforward, and hardly vague in any sense.
Mr. Castillo is truly a great professor in every means. He loves his students and does his best to help the students out. Not only this his lectures a super amazing and he is truly a great professor to be found on Richland.
really cares about informing students on how to improve their chances of being successful in life.
By far one of the most caring and passionate person I have ever met. It was truly an honor to meet Professor Ro. He truly loves his students and his job. There can never be a bad teacher who loves what they do and who have full passion for it every single day. Not only was he my professor, but my friend as well.
101/10 this guy cares
Professor Ro is one of the BEST teachers Ive ever encountered in my life. I admire him so much for keeping me motivated throughout my Fall semester. So open minded and understanding. One class I was excited about every Monday and Wednesday!!! Ro a wonderful teacher and Guy.

HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!
best professor I've ever had!! He wrote me an amazing recommendation letter and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE TO TAKE HIS CLASS!! he genuinely enjoys teaching and wants the best for his students. I doubt I will ever have any other professor as good as him. He is one of the most caring teachers you will ever come across!!
if he could teach more classes i would take him again, very simple assignments and he gives extra credit. Very fun class, just need to show up and he gives out snacks and drinks, great professor i got lucky he fit my schedule perfect
The first professor, I have ever had and by far the best professor I could have ever started with. This man knows exactly how to teach this class in a very inspirational and friendly way. If you read the textbook as needed, it will be an easy A. If you don't care for much studying, you can still get the A with the extra credit and simple group work
Professor RO is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is really caring and always ready to help. I was not excited to take EDUC but, this professor made me love it and it was my favorite class of the day.
Professor Ro is one of the best professor at richland college. Take him you will love his class.
Pay attention to this class !!! This is the most important class of your collage life! Have not seen a better professor yet, also his story of success is inspiring. Magnificent personality. My grade was 992/1000
great professor ever
Take him if you can, you will love his class. One of the best professors at richland college. Mr Ro helps his students in every possible way.
He is a really caring teacher, he definitely goes out of his way to make sure you understand the material. Also, he gives a lot of extra credit so even if you miss some assignments or attendance, its easily made up. He also gives a lot of snacks! You can tell he truly cares about his students, and is passionate about teaching.
I extremely suggest taking his class he is the BEST professor at Richland I promise that you will not regret it. He cares about all his students and his lectures are soo inspirational, he deserves more. I wish I could have him next semester.
the class was really fun, he put in grades on time. furthermore I was able to understand the contents of each lecture, because of how well he explains it.
Amazing professor, his stories are funny. Reading isnt that much and so is the work, you will fail if you do not show up attendance is high.
Very good teacher caring, if you want an A with him you'd get it
He is an excellent teacher who understands his students and tries to help them succeed. The best we have at Richland!!!
Professor Ro is a outstanding and excellent at what he do, because he loves to teach. He cares about his students and motivates them in every single possible way. Thanks for everything you teach me.
Professor Ro is a really good teacher. At first, I was really doubtful about this class, but in the end, he really taught me a lot and gave us students a lot of inspiration. I would recommend him to anyone who will be attending Richland. You will have to purchase the textbook because we read from it every day. Also, you can use notes on the tests
THE BEST EVER! ATTEND CLASS LISTEN THAT'S IT LISTEN, AND FOR YOUR FINAL YOU CAN EVEN HELP EACH OTHER OUT!
I didnt know what to expect but he shows he cares for everyone and would even bring food sometimes knowing it was early and nobody would eat breakfast. Who does that? I loved him and he gave great advice on school and life in general. I actually enjoyed coming in to see what he had to say for the day. Take him. All the way .
Professor Ro's class is super easy. He just requires one textbook for class and assignments online through Mindtap. (You can get Mindtap free for 14 days if you're a first time member). Very funny and inspirational.
Overall amazing teacher!
He is caring and cares for you . He inspires you with life stories and motivates you at all times . You can count on him to learn and make assignments easy to understand and things are clear and well said. You will pass if you do everything assigned and read the book and show up to class.
Class is very easy, as long you try and do the work on time you are guaranteed to pass!
Easy class as long as you read and do the work on time.
I only had Mr. Ro for 2 and a half weeks but he is seriously the best teacher I've ever had and I'll remember him for the rest of my life. I just finished his class and I was holding back my tears as he said his goodbyes. He's so passionate about his work & makes you feel important. Plus EDCU is such a helpful guide to your education. I recommend!!
Best professor! His class is the foundation for me to work on my degree right now. He motivated you to be confident and give off your best. Take him!
Want an A? Take him! An easy class just read the book and pass with a good grade! Take it online by the way! The quizzes are available online.
He's awesomely inspiring. Highly recommend taking classes with him.
Inspirational professor. He clearly cares a lot about this course. The assignments are easy enough if you take care not to procrastinate. Reading the textbook chapter is crucial if you want to do well on the quizzes.
Very easy small exercises for all assignments. Tests can be found online. Never had to contact the professor. Has alot due all the time, but its not anything that's too time-consuming. Fun assignments. Syllabus gives outlines for exactly how many points for each assignment. Took as a summer class; would recommend as its such an easy class.
The class was fun and easy. He gives you a syllabus at the beginning of the course with exact dates/points available for each assignment. Most of his assignments are unlocked off the bat so you can submit a majority of it quickly, but some you do have to wait for. Just keep an eye on the calendar, have fun with the assignments, and you'll be set.
would definitely recommend taking this class, super easy.
The class was fairly easy, and the workload was reasonable. His syllabus and assignments were clear, and I knew how to manage my time appropriately. As long as you meet assignment requirements, you are guaranteed an A.
Highly recommend!
Very kind teacher and wants the better for you.
He is one of the best and most easy-going professors one could ever come across. Take him if you want your life to be easy and want an easy A. Keep an eye on the calendar. I picked this class with some other difficult courses and it was always easy for me to manage stuff. TAKE HIMMM FOR REAL
This teacher has the best way of teaching by giving us time to do the work and read. He also gives us so much time to take the tests. I would be his student again 100%.
I highly recommend. This class is very easy and he will give you an A+ if you work hard and turn it in on time. His syllabus, assignments, and due calendar were clear and understanding. He cares about his students. Like I said I highly recommend this professor to you if your taking this course.
Best professor I had so far. His lectures are entertaining and the work he gives you is very simple to understand. He gives enough time for homework and you are able to work ahead if you would like. Would love to have him again honestly.
I would say he is one of the great professor from the Dallas College, class is fun, syllabus is easy.
Professor Ro is the best, sweetest and most caring professor I've ever had! Take his class if u get the chance!!!!!
Easiest class ever! The quizzes are incredibly easy. Some assignments are annoying, but he grades super easy. TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM!
This class is a breeze if you stay on top of the assignments. The professor provides a clear syllabus and calendar, making it easy to manage. I found Unstuck AI and the free textbook very helpful for quiz prep.
Prof Castillo is an amazing instructor. Grateful for the knowledge and skills I've gained in his class, and I would highly recommend.
He is very kind if you need to study EDUC, find his class. Very easy and his assignment he takes care over in class.
Professor Ro is genuinely passionate of his job and students. He gives out a few assignments each week but all are very easy to complete. He brings in speakers and food often. Responds to emails quickly. Has been one of my funest and easiest classes.
Great professor
Overall really great professor! Responds to emails. Doesn't really give feedback. There was an online textbook along with a quiz to take after reading the chapter. Really chill class.
