Adorable! The sweetest man alive. Class gets boring at times, but he doesn't mind if you leave early. He lectures throughout the entire time, and his quizzes are very easy. Bring some work for another class to get done. If you don't mind a boring class, then take him. Easy A!

I wanted to marinade him in a tube of butter and gobble him up because he is that adorable.---on a more serious note, he is easy, good teacher, and comparable to albus dumbledore.

Comment:

Castora is the best history teacher. He is very clear with his requirements. He gives 2 tests, 4 quizzes (all fill in), 2 papers (which you can hand in a first draft for) and a final. He gives ALOT of notes and you have to be good in memorization. overall really sweet, cutest man that will always help/say hi to you whenever you need him. TAKE HIM!

Comment:

Had him for Classical Origins of Western Culture. The sweetest, most helpful adorable old man I've ever seen. Always wears a suit and big glasses. Makes corny jokes but you just have to laugh because he's so cute. Goes over everything in great detail. Grades on grammar. Will help with rough drafts if you turn things in early. Says hi to everyone.

Very easy teacher. Don't have to go to class and you'll still get an A. Just bring your papers to him before due date so he will proofread them and you have a definite A. Grades you on grammar, not quality. Class is boring but it is worth it to get the good grade. Tells unfunny jokes but you'll laugh because he's the cutest little man in the world.

Comment:

You will have an easy time in this class if you take semi-detailed notes on what he talks about. Don't pay attention to his writing on the chalk board wich is completely random. This nice old man is vey understanding. If you miss a few days he couldn't care less. So don't pass up this class if you are an athlete.

Comment:

this course can be made to be pretty difficult for a mandatory class...but Castora is amazing. he goes over all material meticulously, making it pretty easy (if you're not likely to read the assignments, it doesnt make too much of a difference since he goes over it anyway). hes also the cutest, sweetest man ever. he will make you smile, no doubt.

Professor Castora is the most adorable teacher at Manhattan. He's old and wrinkly and he tells the WORST jokes, but he is so sweet and incredibly helpful. I'm sleeping through this semester and I still have an A. TAKE HIM.
