Probably the best professor I've taken, seems harsh at first but he really isn't. Appreciates effort

Solid professor, understanding, tough at times if midterm/tests don't go well, but open to be helpful. The class content itself was very hard, so he didn't do a bad job. Just follow the study guide/have those answers prepped in your head before the exam, and it'll be really straightforward (basically copy paste from study guide).

Professor Castillo is super nice and helpful. Lectures were a bit hard to follow as he didn't stick to slides too much. Definitely a more difficult teaching style for non-native speakers. However there's great opportunity to boost your grade through participation.

we watched movies and you only had to write two papers then the final, plus participation. the class workload was doable and the class itself was also. manageable. did not regret coming to class

Prof Grasset is fantastic. I took this course w/ little Spanish speaking skills and he offered all the movies with English subs and let’s you participate in English if you’re not a Spanish major/minor. His guidelines are casual so as long as you prove you’re engaging with the material through the papers and discussions you’ll get an A.

This class and professor were awesome! Relatively simple and straightforward, watched one movie a week, one response paper all quarter, essay-based short and simple midterms and finals. The movies were all cool and for the post movie discussions, Prof Grasset made us think critically which helped me get a lot out of the class.
