Incredibly inspiring great way to boost a Freshman year of college.
Cool dude
He's really cool
Dr. Castillo was an amazing professor! He helps out the students so much when it comes to assignments that you have missed! He really cares for his students! Class was super easy & fun! Lectures are not just on the topic but also on life lessons. I would definitely take Dr Castillo again for a future class!!!
Easy and probably the most laid back teacher in the whole campus
Helpful class. Do your work and you will pass.
Dr. Castillo gives great lectures and actually cares about the students. He actually takes the time to get to know us and is super funny.
Great professor
Dr. Victor A Castillo is such a good professor! His lectures really make you think about your life and if you're making good life choices and as student he really gives you good tips on how to succeed your college life.
Great Professor!
He cares about you passing the class and he pays attention to everyones grade. Quizzes are online, he sometimes forgets to unlock them but you have plenty of days to turn them in. Normally, if the class didn't do well on the quizzes he will give multiple attempts. He gets off track a bit during lectures but your book has all you need for the class
Doc is by and far one of the coolest and most interesting teachers that I have ever had the pleasure getting to know. You may think this mandatory class would be boring and a bit redundant, however, Doc makes this class a truly unique and fun experience. Since the quizzes are online, he takes the time to give educational and life experience lecture
An amazing teacher he's the best guy if you going take this class you should definitely go for him
Gives really good feedback
Dr Castillo is one of the coolest professor i have met and very helpful on helping you to reach your goals in life
Dr. Castillo is an excellent professor. Always available to assist, Very liberal and open minded. Truly agree with his thought 'students need a second chance.' However, he is tough where he needs to be tough. It was truly a pleasure to have been part of his class and known him. I really wish, if all the professors could get his teaching method!
He's very good professor. At the time you need help for anything he's ready to help for whatever you want to know about any situation.
Doc. Castillo really cares about his students. He gives breaks but don't take advantage because he needs to see effort being put in by you too.
Great teacher
great professer to have, he will impact your life in a positive way. I know i will always remember him.
An amazing professor! Best teacher for SDEV!
Can get a little psychological. Be prepared to have your brain poked at.
Loved his class , definitely an eyeing opening class.
He was a good professer because he was inspirational and was good at giving us the point of the lesson,so we xan learn it and he was good at making the class easy for the students, so everybody would pass with an A average.
What I like most about this professor was he not only taught this class well be he motivates you to be the best student you can be and wanting to be more successful in life
All test are taken in canvas and are super easy he gives multiple attempts and is very understanding when it comes to late work.
Dr. Víctor is a great profesor, for example he makes lecturing fun, interning and some life tips. By all means that he won't make you fall asleep. One can actually learn good advices with a touch of learning. In my opinion I actually enjoyed this class because it was really easy you just have to be responsible and meet the due dates on time.
He masters his lectures and provides accurate examples. His class is very nteresting and funny. I recommend him!!!
This professor really help the class out and motivating.
Great at explaining situations.
He's a cool professor. I'd probably take another class with him if what we were learning wasn't boring.
Eh lol hes okay, was a bit turned off by his teaching style but aint a bad guy. Very hard worker.
Man he's cool
He was a great professor and all his work was easy and clear. The only thing about his class is that you must be in class and you MUST be on time everyday
Real good teacher! a little weird but weird is always good. Always had a good attitude for the class and has a good sense of humor
good guy. enjoyed listening to his views and lessons.
Real good teacher; no problems at all
Very formal but laid back. Was in the military. Likes psychology. Likes to seak rather tan write. Accomadates work and gives long time to get work done .
He takes the time to explain difficult-to-understand situations to students, and tries to get students to set goals for themselves effectively.
Never had a day I wish I didn't show up. Best professor I have had would take his class again if could.
Great teacher, gives a lot of personal experience. He keeps the class entertaining and usually really positive vibe when teaching. Lecture heavy but keeps them interesting. I recommend taking a class with him, helps you succeed. Just show up and do the work and you'll finish with an A.
Great teacher. You can tell he's passionate about his work. He really motivates everyone to do better and better successful in life and holds class discussions. All the homework is online.
The way he went beyond what he had to in order for us to understand what is required from us is truly something that not many professors do.
He's a great guy who really cares about his student and their success.
Great professor! I would like to have him again. Not a hard class at all. No in class quizzes or exams everything is on canvas.
Easy to follow quizzes if you read. Really helped you make sure all your assignments were completed and had funny lectures. Very easy to get an A if you turn in your work.
Doc is the world's coolest professor that anyone could have and there's no one else in the world like him!
Dr. Castillo is the most caring educator I have ever come into contact with. He may be a little quirky but he'll always be there for you. Ask him anything.
I like this professor because it makes the whole class more enjoyable
Great professor, taught us not only about education but about life lessons. I would most definitely enroll in another class taught by him. Teaching style is off the chart and gives plenty of opportunities.
Had some interesting discussion that helped students connect with each other and open our minds to new ideas aND higher level thinking.
Really cares about your success
Really Lenient Proffesor
Alright, Over dramatic sometimes.
Awesome teacher, Doc really cares about every student in his classes he learned everyone's name in a matter of 2 days. His lectures are always funny although sometimes you can't tell when he's joking it's really hard to fail this class EASY A.
Sets the bar for future professors
just a real solid dude ya know....
This professor was awesome, if you do the work you should have no problem passing his class
Great class
Overall, this class was an Easy A. A very Inspirational teacher for incoming freshman. Highly recommended to take this professor, you won't regret it.
He got amazing lecture with amazing story. He is a funny guy. take a role be on time, sometimes, remind you homework. Remember to check CANVAS homework, easy to grade
he is very strict but caring
he really blunt and has a enormous amount of ENERGY .he jumps around with topics to much
His class is easy, but not very understanding when it comes to missing days for certain life events. He also doesn't give anything useful for college experience. He still thinks he is the military and training soldiers.
Good professor but bounces around from topic to topic. Still a good one though
Ok class
good teacher overall
An ok teacher
Perfect teacher perfect lectures
My Favorite , very encouraging
Great Professor! Don't miss class, Don't be late, Take a few notes, Read the Chapters, You WILL pass this Class with a "A". He's very accommodating and gives you plenty of time for every assignment and test. ALL of your work and test are done on Canvas, which is super convenient. He makes sure that you understand each and every assignment fully!
Dr. castillo was great. He is very fair and upfront with his expectations of you in his class.
Show up and do the online work and you will pass. Doesn't require a lot. Just show up every time cause he is big on attendance and you will get an "A".
Dr. Castillo was an amazing professor! He really made a student feel special; just come to his class on time and do the work, and it's an easy A.
Not hard to pass his class as long as you showed up. Hard on tardies and absences, but that's for your own good so you don't miss anything. As long as you show up to class and your work is done the class is almost a guaranteed A.
Easy class with a few simple online assignments, show up to class do the assignments and it's an easy A.
Very clear on his expectations
Dr. Castillo is great, inspirational, and very enthusiastic about this class. Make sure you show up to class on time, and get the work done.
Motivator , Phenomenal attitude , he really cares about your grade , show up ,participate , and get you work in on time its that simple.
Overall, great class, great professor, i totally recommend taking his course!
The best educator that I have ever had. He cares about you as a student and a person. The lessons in class carry over to every day aspects of one's life. If you ever get a chance to take him I would not miss the opportunity.
Doc was a well enthusiastic professor never once was boring he put his points across very well and definitely makes sure we turn in all our assignments and are on the right track not just for his but your other classes you are taking along with his.
Dr. Castillo is a great professor. He's easy going, has a great sense of humor and I learn a lot with his lectures. There's no reason why you shouldn't pass his class, it is super easy. Totally recommend .
I learned a few things from this course, but the main thing I learned is being a better student. Dr. Castillo is one of the best instructors I've ever had. You can definitely tell he feels passionate about the subject matter because of the energy he puts into his lectures. Super easy class... seriously, if you don't get an 'A', you have problems.
A really great and fun class! The professor follows everything in the textbook while also giving life lessons and advice. I would definitely recommend anyone to take his class.
Castillo is the best story teller and makes class enjoyable.
Doc was such a good for professor he was very inspirational, it made going class so much better. Every chance he gives you to get ahead in his class TAKE IT! His lectures are worth listening to and are very interesting. This class is an easy A+ as long as you do the work he assigns.
Every Monday, and Wednesday I get to this class at 9:30 am and instead of me dreading to come I have no problem with it because it is a good way to start my day. It has been a great experience in this class the assignments have been easy with the way Dr. Castillo explains, I have had no problem with this course or the professor.
Dr. Castillo is a great man, plus a great professor. He loves to help and protect people in need. Great person to be in your corner.
Dr. Castillo is very enthusiastic and cares about the success of his students. If you put in the effort and do the work, this course is not difficult.
Dr. Victor Castillo's Educ 1300-89 was defiantly a class i would take again. The Lectures he gave related to everyday life, and make the class experience easier. His grading criteria was clear, as long as you showed up to class and kept up with your assignments there was no reason not to pass. He communicated well, and was very understanding.
I have no knowledge about when they decided to include this class to the education system, but the course has a great impact on college students mostly on freshmen. As a freshmen I walked into class with no clue of how college was, what to expect or what to do, but this class is a brief summary of the things you can or cannot do to succeed in colle
A great professor. I would definitely take a class with him again.
Victor Castillo is a great professor. I took him for my Education 1300 class and I loved it. He is clear with his lectures and make to his point. He has great stories to tell that tie in his lectures and helped me understand certain concepts. He is easy to understand and will help you out if you're struggling. I would take this class again.
Easy class with some simple online assignment, take note and study for quiz is important. Also get an easy grade. He is really cares about grade. Great professor, totally recommend taking his course.
Great Professor, he had great lectures and really cared about his class passing.
Very good professor over all. Would totally recommend taking this class.
Good professor, cares for the success of the students and is clear about his expectations.
Is a good professor, but just talks a lot when you are trying to get work done. He means well by it though.
He was a great professor and was very good at making sure all of our work was done. He also made sure we had everything done for future registration and other college deadlines.
He is a very easy professor, will help you with anything as long as you talk to him. Very understanding and helpful, would definitely take him again.
I highly recommend Doctor Castillo he cares so much about all of his students and has his assignments clearly planned out throughout the year. If you have the opportunity TAKE THIS CLASS!
gives you an opportunity to complete work that was closed.
He is an amazing professor! I would recommend him to everybody that i know. He truly cares about the students success and your future.
Very nice and great teacher! Work is pretty easy so he tries his best to help. I really liked this class.
He was an awesome professor. He made each class very interesting and exciting. Each assignment was done online and he explained into detail in class. Overall an amazing professor!
He kept it personal but not too personal. I enjoyed my time in his class because it didnt feel like class.
Hes a great teacher even though I was a pain in the rear
I missed a lot of days but still got my work done bc it wasn't hard and am leaving with an A, so he's super great and my first favorite professor.
easiest class you could ever take, just don't procrastinate and you will ace it.
This class seemed like a blow off but as we got deeper into the semester, Dr. Castillo gave many lectures that were truly inspiring and motivating to help people in our class to better themselves in school. The work is easy , you just have to meet deadlines and not be super lazy as he does not like to allow late work. Overall a very nice professor.
Professor Castillo is a really great guy. He left an impression on me because he is such a go getter and he has a good scence of humor. He made class entertaining and simple as long as you followed directions and hit project deadlines on time, he is a lenient professor and stressed how important it was to pass his class, I will never forget him .
the homework is well planned on the canvas, and I have enjoyed this class this semester
Dr. Castillo helped me wake up and realize that I need to get it together in order to have a good education and a successful future. He is extremely inspirational and encouraging. I highly recommend to not take this class (EDUC 1300) for granted, especially with Dr. Castillo; acknowledge and take the advice he gives you. He knows what he's saying!
I took Dr. Castillo back in fall 2016 for my first semester at San Antonio College. I am now a junior at UT Austin and came back just to write about how well of a professor this man is. The way he motivated me through my first semester has such an everlasting effect on my entire college career. One of my favorite professors to ever come across.
