2. If this course was taken to fulfill course requirements for your concentration/major, how did this course enhance your personal and/or professional development in your concentration/major?

I have a better understanding of mental illness, and have gained much insight into the different cultural elements that construct mental illness and its treatments.

It was very interesting and helpful in understanding mental illnesses, which is very relevant to my major, psychology.

Material was easy to comprehend and understand so it made the work easier to finish

this course was very informative and informational. I would have been better for me to take the course in person. I think I would have been able to better understand the different types of mental illness and how they tie into culture. However, I feel it was an excellent course.

Reminded me why I love my major! Taught me to keep in mind to be open minded and consider the clients/people's backgrounds.

interesting to see different cultural perspectives, mental illness.

This has been one of my favorite classes. The book for the class was great and very interesting and I plan on keeping it for future reference.

Taught me more about children and medicine in cultures

I am not a psychology major but I really enjoyed this class. It was tough for me at first, but slowly I adjusted. I really enjoyed the text given to us in this class and learned ALOT from just this one course. I wouldn't mind taking another psych class again

Yes. This class really opened my eyes to the reality of mental illness and made me more sensitive to other cultures. I learned so much about the history and treatment of mental illness and how the pharmaceutical companies produce "clinical trials" that give the desired results to sell the drugs world wide.

I really enjoyed this class and liked that it was a reading intensive class since i love to read. Professor castillo was really helpful with the use of his study guides. Keep up with the readings and answer all the questions on the study guide and you should pass the class with flying colors.

I enjoyed this course in particular because it opened my eyes to personal biases regarding culture and mental illness. The material appealed to my personal interest which made learning enjoyable.

5. Please comment on the activities or resources that could be added to this course to improve your learning.

I have to say, I honestly don't remember much from the first or second texts of the course, except some of the history, which I know is important for creating a foundation of understanding. I learned a great deal from Castillo's text, however, and the Case Book helps solidify understanding of different disorders. I think the discussion posts really helped, also, to solidify different concepts. I appreciate the videos he posts, as well.

none

The books were hard to keep up with but very interesting

great discussion post topics

Professor Castillo provided enough resources for the class.

Great class!!!! The only thing I missed, because it's an online class, was not being able to have conversations like in class when ideas and questions came to my mind! It's such an interesting class that made me think so much...beyond the weekly discussions!

none

I really enjoyed this course and was very attractive when we finally got to learn about actual disorders.

Nothing

Great course outline, please keep all your classes with this format. I've learned so much but was never stressed or overwhelmed with assignments. I definitely look forward to taking more classes in the near future!

I just absolutely loved this class and the only thing that I think could be added, but is not necessary, is maybe a weekly chat session.

16. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

In regards to the quiz-taking, I wish the quizzes were longer (ex: 20 questions). With all the reading involved in this class, I would have expected more questions on each chapter, video, etc.

None, Dr. Castillo has a good style and method.

If discussion posts were due on saturdays and not fridays, or at least have two days to turn it in.

Pretty happy with how the class was taught!!!

none

I am good with it - enjoyed the variety of ways to learn. He has you read, watch movies and post your discussion questions! Good variety.

Test not so hard

None.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

Dr. Castillo was the most attentive professor I have had. He took on many occasions, time out from his schedule to set up voice conferences.

Richard Castillo has high standards for his students, which I appreciate. I think I worked hardest on the discussion posts, and wish they held more weight in the class (perhaps 50% discussion, 50% quizzes)? After reading others discussion posts, it's clear that those who do the readings work harder on those posts, which should be reflected in the overall grade (it's easier to take a 12-question quiz and not do the readings than it is to do a thorough discussion post).

Great instructor. I can tell he really knows his subject area and gave us relevant and interesting study materials.

Good materials like books were very relatable to course subjects

Good teacher, gets to the point of the coursework in a timely manner.

Never met him in person, but from the way he teaches online and having read his book, I admire him.

He is really good at teaching on line classes and his format is GREAT! It should be standardized for all teachers to use this type of teachings.

Very informative

I really enjoyed taking Professor Castillo's class. This was my first psychology class and it was a bit tough for me. But I really learned alot, and found myself linking things I have learned in this class with news and events around me. (which made me excited knowing I'm retaining what I learned) I also really enjoyed the book, so easy to read and enjoyable.

Great instructor, great class, great course!

I just love Dr. Castillo's classes because they are so informative and forces the student to think outside the box. He also chooses great text books, articles and videos. One will never be bored in one of Dr. Castillo's classes. I really enjoy participating in the class discussions. I love the way he structures the class and his syllabus is clear and easy to follow. Dr. Castillo rocks! What an awesome Professor.

great teacher

I've never taken a course from Dr. Castillo and had no idea what to expect. However, his curriculm and syllabi is extremely straighforward, without any surprises. I enjoyed how organized Dr. Castillo was and how he graded our discussion posts in a timely manner. Due to his weekly deadlines, it left me no time to procrastinate, especially because "no late discussions [were] accepted," pushing me to get assignments done prior to its deadlines. Also, his quizzes correlated with the material, which I appreciated because I was not caught off guard or confused.

18. Class assignments provided an effective aid for learning the subject matter.

Mean	N-Size	Std Dev		Strongly Disagree	Disagree	Neutral	Agree	Strongly Agree
4.8	25	0.41	Freq(%)	0 (0%)	0 (0%)	0 (0%)	5 (20%)	20 (80%)

19. The instructional materials (e.g., texts, handouts, etc.) were relevant to course objectives.

Mean	N-Size	Std Dev		Strongly Disagree	Disagree	Neutral	Agree	Strongly Agree
4.84	25	0.37	Freq(%)	0 (0%)	0 (0%)	0 (0%)	4 (16%)	21 (84%)

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...

This course was great! I enjoyed learning about all the different mental illnesses, and really empathize with Castillo's crusade for a client-centered way of thinking vs. disease-centered, which, as Castillo points out, is flawed and narrow.

Great class. It wasn't hard to read all the material because it was very thought provoking. I would definitely take another class with Dr. Castillo.

Great instructor easy to follow course guidelines. Love the study guides, very helpful

great!

Enojyable.

Best class I have taken so far!!! Loved it!!!!

Great class to have under your belt - I learned a lot of different terms and ideas with this class.

great

Extremely enjoyed the required readings They were all relevant to the topic

Awesomeness! thoroughly enjoyed this class, the information I've learned over the semester & the structure of the course.

I loved this course. The course was great and I would recommend it to anyone attending UH. Definitely one of the best courses I've taken at UH West Oahu so far.

very interesting subject taught me things i didnt know

21. Other comments:

I would take courses from this ins

none

fantastic class

Thank you for a great semester, I look forward to attending more classes in the near future!

Please hire more Professors like Dr.Castillo. Better yet, make the rest of the professors take one of his courses so they can learn how to be more effective teachers.

Loved this class! Would have loved it even more were it a face to face class. Descriptions and pictures in the text were up to date and very helpful.

It didn't.

I have learned a great deal of information regarding sexual varieties in the psychological sense that enhanced my sociology studies.

it made me more knowledgeable about sexual behaviors, theories and mannerisms to look out for when i work in the field. considering this as a concentration for field work.

5. Please comment on the activities or resources that could be added to this course to improve your learning.

I would have liked some lectures to listen to that had explaining of some of the course content.

Maybe some extra credit?

Some interaction with the teacher would be helpful. He barely provides feedback, and does not engage in the discussions.

Chats are informative. It added to the required readings but from another's perspective.

16. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

Just lectures for listening too.

There is no need for the soft porn video that the students were forced to view at the end of this course. The learning contents within the video could have been edited down to a 40 minute piece rather than an hour and a half video of people having sex. I am unclear as to the point the teacher was trying to make other than to enrage some students who will be insulted by this content.

He staggers the discussion posts and quizzes so it's not overwhelming AND most of all, not redundant and enjoyable. I'm able to retain this info because this keeps things interesting

N/A

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

Excellent!!

he is a very good professor but I feel he needs to talk more to his students. With this being an online course, I felt like there should have been more interaction whether it was more discussions every week or something similar.

Excellent instructor

This is my second class with Richard Castillo and I appreciate his style for online classes.the videos were very interesting and conducive to material taught. The powers points were also very good - main points were clearly covered which allowed for a good outline to follow while reading the chapter. I also appreciate that the quizzes covered two chapters at a time. But my favorite part of his teaching style is the discussion board. It's a great way to share one's thoughts and opinions and professor asks the hard questions that really make you think! And reading what others write is also great because it gives me an idea of how others feel about some sensitive issues. Awesome class and I look forward to Psych250 next semester! Mahalo!

Excellent!

Great open discussion questions, interesting reads- not one was boring Covers almost all aspects of topic in a given amount of time. Videos were relevant and connected to each other

Awesome!

good professor, easy to talk to, willing to help, wants you to do well

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...

Good!

good

interesting and very informative. The material was straight forward and Castillo's study guides really helped. Which I'm so thankful for. He gives an equal amount of work and schedules the due dates far from other assignments which really was awesome. I loved this class and would recommend this class and instructor to anyone.

See my comments in the previous box

Face to face

The textbook was fine. Again, the soft porn video was unnecessary.

Excellent!

Would highly recommend this course Actually learning something instead of just doing the assignments for a grade.

21. Other comments:

I enjoy the videos that he has provided us to watch. They were extremely relevant to the course material for the week.

I have a better understanding of psychology.

Great info. Good instructor.

I found myself thoroughly engaged in the material. I understand why people change their majors to psychology during their college years.

It helped me o be responsible, being that it is online. All of the work was self guided.

I know the knowledge of Psychology.

I feel this course helped give me a better understanding of the young minds that I will be teaching. I enjoyed this course & I would consider taking another psychology course to help me dig deeper into the human mind.

This course kind of ties into the psychology part of my requirements while also filling a graduation requirement. For a 100 class, and online, this class is not so bad. I recommend it for those who can't make it to class all the time, they can get things done when they are able to. Just as long as they do the quizzes and discussion questions between friday and saturday.

it got me interested to learn more

This class has thought me to better understand how psychology works and operates. Lots of critical thinking,and how we experience the real world. I was able to learn verbally, visually. and experiencing with different types of psychology methods. I was able to challenge my thinking.

Everything went well, i enjoyed this class.

I appreciate the additional study guides & powerpoints because it highlighted the chapter/topics for me & helped me study for the quizzes. I feel these additional resources helped me succeed in this course.

More student and teacher interaction through email. I felt as though I could never get a hold of him when I needed to ask him a question.

Dr. Castillo's method in teaching the course was very "cut-and-dried", so to speak. When first perusing the syllabus I was really happy with the way this course was designed. It made it very easy to manage my time.

N/A

I don't have any suggestions because being a first time online student I felt Professor Castillo made this a very easy to adapt to class & I really appreciate that.

If you could get back to me more when I emailed you, then that could have helped me do a little better this semester.

you should accept late work at least once from each student.and provide more work to do

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

Good teacher!

A+

He is a professional teacher with a well-designed online course.

Interesting course, requirments are clear.

He is an amazing professor & very fair! I feel he is very thorough in his teaching method & I appreciate the extra time he took to make the PowerPoint slides, study guides, & detailed syllabus.

He seems like a very intelligent and somewhat friendly professor, but I wish that I could have received some kind of help through sending emails and questions.

he's an okay teacher.

He was an excellent online teacher, I understood assignments, and was prepared in advance for tests and discussion boards. Multiple media was used; video/Power Point/articles, etc.

Mr.Castillo I enjoyed and got to learn a lot in this course. He has a great system that allows you to know how you are doing with assignments. His discussion board is easy read and you are able to follow along with no hassles or problems. It is clear and understandable. I was able to complete assignments in a timely matter. Great job!

Great class, your learning is up to you!

Good class w/ solid foundation for other Psy.

I liked this online class, it was pretty much straight forward. The PowerPoints and study guides were really helpful for the quizzes.

Excellent course.

Great online class.

Very user friendly & I enjoyed this course!

If you want to see what taking up a psychology major will be like, then this might be the class for you. It goes over key factors of psychology and gives you time to do the work when you can (online class)

pretty easy..8/10

excellent

Very good! Great instructor & terrific learning experience. :)

2. If this course was taken to fulfill course requirements for your concentration/major, how did this course enhance your personal and/or professional development in your concentration/major?

yes

This class has encouraged me to go into the field of psychology even more! I found it very interesting and I've learned a lot!

this course gave me a clear understanding of the human development and stages of human socialization. I feel this will help me through the other PSY courses that are required of me.

Even though it is a 200 level course, this course taught me a whole lot about social psychology. I loved the textbook as well.

My major is in sociology -- I took this course because I am interested in social interactions.

It gave accurate and researched insite to many different kinds of social topics/situations/research experiments.

Needs more groups work

I don't feel as though there is anything that the professor can do to improve the course. It was a really good course.

Because I am on a Mac, I was unable to watch the videos thru the links provided. I was able to google the videos and watch them on other websites (like Hulu) but I would suggest either providing students with this knowledge (that they can google the videos) or provide the videos in a Mac- friendly format :)

I really like this format! Leave it alone. It forces you to read the book and learn; followed by weekly quizes in order to check/verify your knowledge. I am a firm believer in frequent quizes.

16. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

-needs more teacher involvement.

Like I said, the professor should keep doing what he's doing because I feel like I learned a lot. I missed two assignment, so it lowered my grade to an F originally. I was able to do well on all the material after that because I applied myself and because the information was so clearly laid out for me.

I wouldn't change anything, except about the video formats but I was able to get over that hurdle.

I would suggest that he is more willing to help students and not to be so cut throat and to maybe be more understanding.

Good Job...Leave it alone...it is NOT broke so don't fix the format or the teacher.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

Clear in expectation, good teacher.

He's an awesome teacher and he makes having an online class simple but I learn a lot!

great instructor!

I really love taking classes with Richard Castillo. He responds to emails in a very timely manner and he is very knowledgeable in this subject. I feel as though he has a true passion to teach his students and help them understand the subject.

I loved this class -- I learned a lot and the class was well-formatted and Castillo always responded in a timely manner when I emailed him. Loved this course!

He should be more reasonable and understanding. His course did teach me what I needed to know.

I am very happy!!! I have him again next semester.

i loved this class.

One of my favorites! Great experience

Quizzes could be available through the weekend instead of just Friday and Saturday. It will allow working students and parents to have more time and flexibility to finish the quiz.

Very interesting class. Opened my mind to what really goes on in and around the medical field especially since Im currently working in that field.

This course helped me understand how healing works in different social and religious groups. I really like this class.

This course has way too much books and reading.

This was an excellent elective class for me (PUBA: HCAD/DPEM) It enhanced the concepts and cultural ideas taught in our core classes.

it showed me so many things that not many people take notice of and i love that! its what keeps me passionate about psychology!

This course greatly enhanced my understanding and knowledge base.

The bi-weekly quizzes and discussion posts helped regulate my studying time.

This course has enhanced my personal development as I took this course on the basis of fulfilling a personal goal. To learn the clinical side of the sick patient.

Nothing, this class was great.

No more addition please.. Way too many videos to watch and way too many books! In fact, he should lessen some of the books required. It's expensive and it's just way too much! His videos are like 2 hrs each!

Dr. Castillo gave the right amount of weekly readings, discussion and video assignments to understand the psychology behind health care and culture. The videos were very informative (albeit some were depressing) and I believe it helped me to understand better the readings. The ideas were straightforward, nothing to difficult to understand.

There were the right amount of resources available for us students.

Not sure, I enjoyed the videos

none

there is nothing that he should improve on.

Lessen the videos especially if they are 2 hrs each. We have other classes to attend to. Lessen the amount of books required for the course. It is expensive. It is so hard to read 167 pages for a 20 point quiz.

Nothing...my best class this semester! He gave the right amounts of information and assignments.

none he's awesome

The amount of reading required is a bit demanding.

Instead of having bi-weekly quizzes, maybe you should have WEEKLY quizzes. I think it would help students' learning skills and improve their grades as well.

I would like to have seen the quiz correct answers so that I know which questions I answered were incorrect. Sometimes I felt confident that my grades would be higher but they were not and I was not able to decipher which questions were wrong.

The videos in this course were extremely long, and because there was no study guide, I was not sure of what notes and information to take for the quiz.

Amount of material to study was too broad. If he could narrow it down a little more. Some of the things on the study guide could be 20 pages and only have a few questions from those 20 pages.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

His class is quite simple you do the assignments and get graded on them, very straight forward.

I love taking classes with him. He is very clear and precise and answers emails in a timely manner.

Course is alright but the teacher is on "work overload" mode at all times.

Great...wish I took more classes from him earlier on, and in person. This was an online class and I think I would've enjoyed it even more if it had been in-person :)

awesome professor that i am privileged to be a student of! i wish he could be my mentor. Ive took about 3 or 4 classes from him so far and loved them all. very organized and he knows what works/ is effective. extremely legit and knowledgeable in the subject.

I love the way he presents and teaches his online classes, my favorite professor.

I like that Castillo is a very organized person; he has everything ready for us when we need to do it. He seems as if he is ON IT. I talked to him about a month ago for a course he is teaching next semester, he already had the syllabus for it. I like that. I also like that he responds to emails pretty quickly.

Professor Castillo was great to learn from. I loved his learning environment and teaching method. The workload was feasible and the course content was relevant. These are concepts I believe that I can truly take in and grow from. I am eager to learn more of Professor Castillo's other courses and written material he has produced.

Ive taken a class from Castillo before and I like it. Its very scheduled so you have to keep up with the due dates or else it will greatly affect your grade.

Good, I liked this class.

Too much work! I like that the moral lesson I got from the course is to understand how to be positive in all aspects of life.

AWESOME...GREAT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

you must take it if youre a psych major. doctors should also take this class!!

Couldn't be better, I'd love to take all of my classes from him.

This was a great course, I can't wait to take another online course from Castillo!

Great! The videos were fun to watch and the Discussion questions provided me with a better understanding and well-rounded view of the stated question.

It really provided a very thorough and mature look at sexuality and it's influence on various cultures. This course fits well with the psychology program as it provides unsworn perspectives and insight into choices and sexual habits.

This course allowed me to learn about a subject that is usually taboo in society and therefore enhanced my understanding of sexual experession not only in Western culture but others.

This course has brought great awareness and understanding of the complexities of the medical industry, and it was a very profound learning experience because I will be a more informed and compassionate consumer-patient and public healthcare employee. As a citizen I am also more informed of the political and social consequences of my ations and responsibilities. I appreciated the honesty and frank discussions from a myriad flow of communication channels---the weekly videos, the textbooks, and the peer-to=peer student discussion boards. I strongly felt the this course presented material that were unbiased and progressive, and encouraged me to be a critical thinker, while compelling me to be an advocate and activist in the healthcare industry.

it helped me to get a better understanding of how psychological issues help with health and healing in people and the different terms and how it affects everyone differently and how it is managed and portrayed in america.

Throughly enjoyed it! I ordered most of the textbooks on my Kindle, and listened with enthusiasm while driving or running errands. Most of the material was presented in a way that I was able to relate it to personal experiences. I also enjoyed the videos that were from reliable sources, all of which were exremely informative and enriching. With the exception of "Sicko" by Michael Moore, I would not have had the opportunity to watch them outside an academic setting.

i learned a lot and enjoyed watching all the videos so far.

confirmed my suspicions about the relationship between mental illness and supernatural.

This course lent me another opportunity to learn about different cultures and their belief systems. In the future, this will help me help others better-especially those who come from different backgrounds and religions than I do.

I do not have any suggestion for improvement. The course was excellently ran and the materials provided a strong structure for learning.

I'd like to see a specific time when we can all be on and ask questions and have an online discussion. Like a chat room.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

that he is a great teacher. He is very organized and clear in what he expected when it came to what he expected. I will be definitely taking more classes with him.

Dr. Castillo was diligent in returning emails and answering questions. He is a very intelligent person and I hoped to meet him in the future.

fantastic professor! Always a pleasure to take a course from him!

An excellent professor who knows how to present the material well. He appears to be really knowledgeable in this field of study. The readings and video he used tied in nicely with each other to help students understand the subject with ease.

excellent because of the materials covered. I had a lot of interesting subjects to learn about and I enjoyed sharing my knowledge with friends.

This was an online course and I believe I would've enjoyed class better if it was in a classroom setting. I did learn a substantial amount but I could've learned more.

awesome class! I took a religion course and this class just expanded on some of the things I previously learned. It's always great to learn new perspectives.

I appreciate this class being offered online during summer. Please have more online classes available.

A great course to take. Given that this is an accelerated summer course, the way the assignments (reading, videos, etc) were all arranged really helped me to understand the subject/material easier than I had imagined. I would definitely recommend this course for others to take.

21. Other comments:

I recommend this class to other students because of its unique subject.

Dr Castillo did not disappoint this class was everything I expected and more the only thing that I didn't like is reading about religion in the "Jesus Mysteries". That was Junk and it wasn't in a classroom.

Thank you Professor Castillo. I really enjoyed taking this course from you.

I was able to learn that diagnosis can differ depending on the culture and that actually culture makes a big difference when having to analyze anything. This was great to learn because it will help me understand that when doing field work.

This course gave me an overview of mental illnesses in cultural settings.

fulfilled complimentary credits

This course gave me more of an in-depth look into this subject and provided me with a more complete view and foundation for my field of study.

This course challenged me to meet the individual at their level . . . in the sense that I must be mindful of learning about their culture and not allow my biases to skew an evaluation/assessment. It is important to be a good listener and to ask the client to explain what their symptoms mean to them and whether or not they know why they are experiencing their symptoms. Further research should be done with colleagues to determine if there is any cultural events or expectation which may be present that could be attributed to the clients symptoms. It is all about the client's perspective and once that is understood then a client centered approach can occur and hopefully effective treatment can happen.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

that he was a great teacher and had covered so many intersting points. His book helped with understanding the material and the videos gave a great visual.

Great professor. I think it's great he gives feedback on discussion posts.

Organized. Hard to say I've never met him but based on the way the class is structured I'd say he's organized.

An excellent professor who knows how to present the material well. He appears to be really knowledgeable in this field of study. The readings and video he used Â tied in nicely with each other to help students understand the subject with ease.Â

A great course to take. I would suggest this to any student whether they are a psychology major or not.

Great course, really interesting. The text books were awesome.

Loved it and would recommend it to other students. Expectations were clear. I wish I had person to person opportunities to discuss issues. I felt the discussions weren't really discussions just turn in essay every week. Didn't feel I got anything from "discussions".

Very enlightening. Excellent examples on the need to understand the client's cultural practices and perspective of their illness in order to be able to effectively diagnose and treat their symptoms.

21. Other comments:

I think it's amazing that a textbook we used was one he wrote. I'm extremely impressed and really glad that I took this course.

I got a lot of information from taking this class. I'd keep the text books as they are good reference materials.

Thank you Professor Castillo. I really enjoyed taking this course from you.

This evaluation is not tailored to this online course -- questions 10, 12 & 13 are not necessarily relevant to this online course. Possibly including a N/A choice would remedy this issue.

It showed me how the mental health services affected health care in general. I have used these concepts in my other health classes, which I found was really helpful.

PSY 474, Culture and Mental Illness, broadend my knowledge about mental illness. It really enhanced me personally to understand the numerous of illness out there.

How culture really plays an important role in real life situations dealing with different kinds of illnesses.

This course absolutely enriched my understanding of MI in our global cultures. It has enriched my life.

This course made me look at the whole field of psychology differently.

Different mental illnesses across cultures. Can't look at us's way only of diagnosing and evaluating mental illnesses.

n/a

It opened my eyes to the cultural perspectives involved with mental disorders and it really is something that should be taken into consideration when working with human being in general.

The contents in this course was quite disturbing but it has raised awareness and understanding in which may pertain to the real world especially dealing with the general public.

It has made me even more passionate about Psychology!

Excellent course, more likely to learn a lot.

Some knowledge was retained from this course that will definitely help in the future.

This course has definitely enhanced my education development by fulfilling my major and concentration. Dr. Castillo, is an excellent Professor. I love his class.

I loved this course. I wasn't exactly sure what Culture and Mental Illness was going to be like at the beginning of this semester, but it turned out to be completely eyeopening and fascinating. This course isn't only important in my personal development or for solely my major -- it is good for every single human being. This is precisely because culture's influence has shaped the lives of individuals and, through this, we are able to grasp why things work the way they do (and how paradigm shifts occur when they do.)

This course was used to fulfill my social sciences requirement. It was not very relevant to my major but I did enjoy the information that was taught.

nothing.

The Casebook was really helpful. Although, I think there could have been more discussions about the videos that we watched. There were seven discussions regarding the required readings. I wish we had a discussions solely for the videos and what we learned or had an opinion about it. I really wanted to see what other students thought.

It is perfect the way it is.

Cant think of anything

Dr. Castillo's videos of factual information related to the course are great tools to see the other side of the subject rather than just reading the textbook.

Resources provided within course were good.

Perhaps a couple more videos on the anxiety disorders that we discussed towards the end of this semester.

I thought the resources were good.

None.

Nothing, very good teaching style.

Professor Castillo's classes are great. From syllabus to final exams the work is clear, thorough and very interesting. I will definitely apply his teachings in my professional career. I am very grateful that I discovered Professor Castillo.

One suggestion would be to offer this course in person. I really wanted to discuss the material in person instead of through the discussion boards. Also make it so that once everyone has taken the quizzes we can review it. Thinking you got all of the questions right and than missing one will drove me crazy because I couldn't see which one it was.

The requirements were clear and although the reading were time consuming I really learned a lot from the readings and board discussions.

I thought Dr. Castillo's course was quite straightforward.

Msybe adding more personality by joining discussions

none

Some of the resources within the beginning of the course seemed to be a bit overwhelming. Considering other students have other course loads in classes, I didn't think Professor took this into consideration.

N/A He is vey professional in his teaching style and methods. He even wrote his own textbooks. And we are using them in this class.

n/a

I enjoyed the course and the information given. Possibly finding some more up to date videos would help.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

He is a really fair professor. I thought it was cool that he wrote his own book. It made me feel a little intimidated in the beginning but as long as you did the work you got the credit. He answered emails quickly and his assignments and quizzes were clear to understand, you just had to study and do the reading.

He knows his subject.

Richard Castillo is a very good teacher.

Brilliant!

Good teacher, great materials.

Interesting, easy to follow clear instructions! Awesome professor!

Great. Will look into future courses with Dr. Castillo.

He knows his stuff and shares his knowledge well

Dr. Castillo assignment and test were fair. Thank you this actually has changed how I view things when it comes to dealing with the general public and customer service. I deal with the military individual(s) constantly unknowingly those with PSTD I have already witness a few scary outburst(s) and general public. This course provided helpful information.

Exellent teacher!! Im taking him for the 3rd time next semester! Uses great material for the class (books and video) real eye openers. They explore a different aspect of the subject to make you really think about the issues.

He is an excellent teacher for an online course.

Good professor, though sometimes I not there lacked a communication.

DR. Castillo definitely knows his professional knowledge in this class. This is my 1st class with him. I totally enjoyed it. I learned so much from and all the material that he provided for us in this class.

Dr. Castillo is a phenomenal teacher. He is a professor that wants us to learn how the individuals of our world are constantly being reshaped throughout history by the various cultural issues that communities face. On top of that, the readings that Dr. Castillo assigned were so good (and offered stunning information.) He really focuses on the effects that ethnocentrism in Western clinicians have on the world, especially in psychotherapy. He broadened our knowledge by teaching us information that hardly any professors out there would teach....this I know because I have never even almost considered or pondered the various topics Dr. Castillo highlighted throughout this term. Dr. Castillo is a highly-knowledgable, interesting and helpful person. His quizzes, readings, and discussion questions were always well thought out.

A knowledgeable professor.

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...

Although it was online, this class helped me to perform time management and gave a fair amount of work so I never felt like I had nothing to do. The videos were helpful as well.

Great. Illness can affect you mentally.

that I learned alot!

Great

This was a great class, definitely one of the best psych classes I've ever taken.

Loved it! Interesting and easy to follow!

Great course, I definitely learned a great deal. Will look into future classes with Dr. Castillo.

Overall enjoyable, I learned a lot of interesting things about the human nature and different cultures perspective on mental illness. The old school videos helped a lot too.

I found the course quite disturbing to read in terms of the subject but I guess its straightforward reality that needs addressed. I gained an understanding of how different cultures may view things that we today view as taboo. Also, learning and gaining information on the effects of drugs on how it affects an individuals.

Exellent! My favorite class so far! It opened my eyes to so many issues most people have no idea about.

This course should be taken to those are in pyschology major. It is information.

Course was good.

EXCELLENT! course. I would highly recommend this class or his class to anyone.

Great class. I am so thankful that I took this with Dr. Castillo. The assignment's due dates, readings and class expectations were the clearest that they have ever been for me -- and I have taken several online courses.

A great course. It was very enjoyable and the information was interesting.

Good teacher!

I recommend Professor Castillo's classes to whomever will listen!

Offer this class in person!

Thank u! Love this professor!

Although, some of the contents were interesting yet disturbing. I was shocked to that I actually remembered what I learned.

I will definetely recommend others to take his classes.

Thank You! Dr. Castillo! for this class, my learning throughout this class. Knowledge is a lifelong process. Knowledge is priceless. I enjoyed your class. To be honest, at first, I thought Oh! NO! this class is too hard for me. But, It's not, and I am getting good grades so far, except on test scores, there a little low..but my assignment grades are good. You are the BEST Professor! Take Good Care! I hope I get to take another of your classes.

Mahalo!

n/a

It would be helpful to know what I got right or wrong after taking the quizzes. Some of the powerpoints were unclear in relating back to the book. The study guides were very vague since it was full sections of certain parts of the chapter.

Letting us know what grade we have throughout the course

No improvements needed.

I would have taken this class if it was a in class.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

Great teacher. Very knowledgeable.

He structured the class very well, and he is easy to reach. I also liked how he actually took the time to read our discussion posts and gave extra points for "good comments" :)!!!

He is a decent teacher for an online class. He provided powerpoints, study guides, and gave feedback comments when grading our discussions.

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...

A little challenging, but not ridiculous. It is very straightforward and relatively easy to get through with a little work.

It was a great class, and even though I didn't do great on every test, I liked how the tests/quizzes were structured. It was more of understanding the concepts then the actually material that we read. Hence you actually had to learn the material instead of just memorizing information for an exam.

This was a very straight forward class. It was more self-learning since the quizzes and discussions were very closely related to the book. I was still able to learn from reading the book.

Good

This class was my first online course and I handled it pretty good. The assignments were pretty reasonable and straight to the point.

Very challenging. But learning about how the brain works is very interesting.

Help to expand my knowledge base on social psychology

This class covers main/important topics in psycholoy. My other classes discuss many of the things I learned from this class.It also will help me understand clients better in the near future.

This course opened me up to another side of psychology and I also found that a lot of what were studying, I was able to relate to things going on in my own personal life. Found it to be very helpful personally and it exposed me to other areas in psychology that I hadn't yet considered as a specific area to study.

I know more and i understand more about social psychology

This course gave me a deeper understanding of social interactions.

I have learned about lifestyles, and how it affected happiness. How money doesnt always mean happiness, but it could lead to happiness.

This course provided me with information that I would be able to use after I graduate in the work force. I'm looking at options that I would be able to specialize in and thinking that counseling may be good option for me and my personality, learning what I did through this course.

Taught me what social psychology is and how our thoughts and behaviors are affected by those around us.

Cant think of anything. Instructor had a good balance.

Since this was an online course, it would be nice if we could review the quizzes after the due date so we know which questions we got wrong.

this course was pretty difficult on taking the tests. Even though we had to study before the timed quizzes, it was hard to keep the material in your head and the questions are unexpected; which we had to refer back into the book again to find the answer. but if you read before the test, it really helps to have it easier for you to find the answer with the main points.

Having the quizzes available to review so we are able to know what we got correct and what was wrong, and the correct answer.

Nothing. He does a great job.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

He is helpful and approachable.

He made my semester a little less stressful, i'm thankful for that. He didnt load on the work but I STILL learned the material well. He allows for you to learn/study at your own paste. Helpful when emailed. Liked that he posted a gradebook on laulima, and I really enjoyed the videos he assigned us. I already recommended the videos to a friend. I am hoping to take another online class with Castillo if I get in from the waitlist.

Awesome Professor. His syllabus and materials are clear and interesting. I've taken his other classes and also had a good online experience. Great job Professor!!!

Organized, available, fair

A really nice teacher who gives a fair amount of work.

Good

Professor Castillo was reasonable in grading system and made adjustments where needed.

great! He seems very knowledgeable in his field of expertise.

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...

This being my first online class experience I found it easy to approach the subject in this format.

Very interesting and useful. I now use the material I learned on almost a daily basis.

Very interesting, assignments were informative, homework load was appropriate. Very much enjoyed this class.

I really like psychology. Even though it's not part of my major, psychology amuses me. I've learned a lot about life and feelings that i never thought i would learn. I really enjoyed this course.

Good and very interesting subject.

This course wasn't that easy, nor that difficult. It challenged me to think and understand what concepts that I was misunderstood.

great. I am a psychology major and love taking Dr. Castillo's courses.

2. If this course was taken to fulfill course requirements for your concentration/major, how did this course enhance your personal and/or professional development in your concentration/major?

This was an elective course for me but I STRONGLY feel it should be added to the PSY cluster of the BASSS course curriculum. The subject matter is very much in alignment with that cluster and this is an amazing course!

I learned more to apply to real life scenarios.

It taught me the different meanings of illnesses and how families of chronically ill persons cope with disease and biomedical personnel as well as alternative healing. The different cultures and their methods of healing was the most interesting and informative.

5. Please comment on the activities or resources that could be added to this course to improve your learning.

I thought the textbooks and the video's selected for this course were excellent because they have so much valuable information. It would be great if this course had more interaction between professor and students as well as between students. There are ways to do this either using mandatory chat or requiring students to actually read and comment on each other's post. While this expectation was noted in the syllabus, I did not notice many of my classmates doing this.

I felt the course was fine for my learning experience.

There was ample reading materials and videos to make the subject informative and interesting.

I liked the formatting of the course. It was easy to work with and not all over the place in Laulima. I clearly understood what was expected of me.

great readings, great discussions, tests, what more could make it improved? I feel it is just right! Perfect amount of work to do weekly!

I did enjoy the reading material although the first book Culture and Health was difficult for me to get through. I understood the case studies because of the plain English. There were medical words that I was unfamiliar with and needed to consult a friend who had a medical dictionary and knew many of the terms.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

Excellent!

great material covered, loved the videos, learned so much to have a fresh new perspective on our medical systems, hospitals, and illnesss and recovery, healing, etc.

Excellent.

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...

One of the best courses I have taken in terms of the subject matter, but the current course format does not provide much opportunity for interaction with the professor or with other students, which I believe would give the subject discourse more depth.

Excellent!

He presents awesome materials, especially enjoyed the videos! This course enables the student to learn new perspective on the subject matter...

Enjoyed the course and especially the videos that made the course clearer to understand because it put real people with real illnesses into perspective. I also thought about how the medical community are teaching interns to be more empathic and compassionate.

I learned a lot about my field of study. From this literary analysis, I gained deep insight into various effective methods of field practice. My research has given me a new perspective on how to treat and service others.

the course material that i chose to research on gave me a better understanding of the topic in which i can help to apply to my everyday work settings.

This course has definitely helped me improve in terms of researching information

It helped me to sum up my education in the psychology field by allowing me to produce work that is both challenging and meaningful

Everything was fine, except, I didn't really like the textbook that was required for this course. I know there's more textbooks out there that are easier to read and follow. I found that going online for APA format information was much more helpful than this textbook.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

Dr Castillo was available for as long as I needed, when I went to his office for help. He was helpful and took time to explain anything I didn't understand.

He is a very good teacher. He is very precise and consistent in his work and when helping his students. He is understanding and approachable when dealing with a conflict, and was accessible when help was needed.

his feedback on our papers were very helpful and i appreciated them.

He's really straightforward of what is expected throughout the course. He's always organized and doesn't stray away from the syllabus, which I really like.

This was a great course. Doing a literary analysis enabled me to learn way more about my field of study in this short period of time than I had previously learned over the past two years of majoring in Psychology.

it was a very enjoyable course and it helped me learn a lot about my topic.

I really liked this course and I felt like the way he divided up the paper assignments was much less intimidating than turning in one whole 16 page paper all at once.

great

This course opened my mind to all kinds of various cultures and sexualities. It definitely put into perspective how we must take a look at people from their point of view, rather than judging merely off of what we know or consider normal.

AWESOME PROFESSOR!!! Very informative, learned a great deal of information but it was not overwhelming even for a summer course.

Expectations were clearly stated. Wide variety of topics covered. Questions answered in a timely manner and the reading/discussion assignments were very interesting.

Provided very good and interesting material for us to review. Would like more interaction in class though.

I believe this course has helped me to consider different factors (culture, financial status, scenery, etc)when looking at different ways people heal and/or deal with illnesses. This course has also taught me a lot about our health care in comparison to other countries.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

Awesome professor... sorry mixed up my psy. 352 evaluation with this one. Anyway, he is very organized and readings/videos were very relevant to topic with both of my classes. It was nice as an online class because sometimes too much in-class lecture (not saying him since I did not take any in-class courses from Professor Castillo) sometimes gets boring. This way we had a chance to read/view information and draw our own conclusions which helped me really understand the topic.

Great, always available, and presented the course in an interesting/informative manner by the reading/video materials/discussion topics assigned.

2. If this course was taken to fulfill course requirements for your concentration/major, how did this course enhance your personal and/or professional development in your concentration/major?

It gave me an understanding into the different mental illnesses.

I really enjoyed the information presented in the course, and learned a lot of new and helpful information.

Best online course I've taken so far! I love this subject of how culture and mental illness course with Dr. Castillo enhance my understanding of how we can work to understand and serve mental health residents coming from various cultures.

It was a really great course for students that are workimng and the in-class senior project class didn't fit their schedule. I truly am having a positive learning experience from this class.

Reminds me to think holistically about the patients I will someday support.

I really learned all the different Mental Illnesses and how it differs in each culture around the world compared to the US.

The information covered during this course enhanced my personal and proffesional development by really thinking about the issues we needed post discussions on. By being asked cultural questions in relation to mental health, this allowed me to broaden my current understanding of applying the knowledge that I have learned.

This course really helped me gain an understanding of a client-centered therapy and how culture has a profound impact on the manifestations of various mental disorders.

I liked the combination of online resources for the course.

None, everything that was provided for this course which included class readings and videos were very informational and sufficient in relation to the topics discussed.

Perhaps more videos as they were a welcome visual aid to an online class.

The only thing gripe I have about this course is that the discussion are due on Fridays at 5pm. It's hard to remember to submit the info by this time because usually all other online courses have 12 midnight due date times.

Dr. Castillo is a perfect intelligent, professional professor! His teaching style is awesome he makes the class interesting and you can tell he is very passionate about the subject matter!!! His method online is just perfect, not overwhelming and it is just right information, reading, videos, with great current information. I'm looking forward to taking more online classes with him!

It was an outstanding course, but there is too much reading evolved. I would of like to see him do some lecturing, because he sounds like a brilliant instructor, form reading his books.

Maybe a weekly chat to discuss the questions asked for a group interaction versus individual postings.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

I think he's very knowledgeable in what he teaches, and his course is well organized and clear.

Perfection! Great current information, and lots of good discussions between the students and Professor Castillo on that weeks subject matter! Believe me, the students make recommendations on who is a great professor to take and he is in the zone of the students wanting to take his classes. Mahalo nui loa Dr. Castillo!

Dr. Castillo has been a great professor on our campus. His passion for psychology and the different entities that he teaches are very interesting and detailed. I really enjoyed reading his book, "Culture and mental Illness". I learned a lot of the way culture affects the concepts of mental illness and the treatments. Dr. Castillo is very organized and you know the expectations of the class from the first day. Thank you for your passion and direction, Dr. Castillo!!!

that he is a really knowledgeable and knows what he is teaching in this course.

Very organized instructor, Great information with a lot of detailed material which was presented in a simple manner. Easy to follow schedule with adequate amount of time in between scheduled assignments.

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...

I enjoyed the course subject matter and info presented in this course.

Being that I work with adults with mental illness in my current job at the Hawaii State Hopsital, this course was very helpful with information of different cultures and their backgrounds. This course helps me to have a better understanding of other cultures in the dealing with those from many various cultures and how I may serve them better.

A very interesting class and I encourage other psychology majors to take this class. You get a lot of information and learn a lot of the different cultures and how mentall illness affects their livelihood.

Great course and very informative!

Excellent choice of course materials.

This class has been an insightful class that has taught me to view and value other peoples cultures

this was a great learning for me about mental illnesses. I had little knowledge about the types of illnesses that were in this world. I learned a lot about other illnesses in other countries besides the US.

Great course, I wouldn't mind taking this course again just to be able to have more discussion on topucs and questions discussed.

very informational. Best class I had this semester!!

21. Other comments:

I have recommended Dr. Castillos online classes to other fellow students. This course is awesome, Mahalo Dr. Castillo!

Reading the case studies in the textbooks REALLY opened my eyes to what off the wall behaviors people with mental illnesses have. I REALLY didn't know that there are really crazy cases around the world.

He's great.

Dr. Castillo is a great professor here at UHWO. He has a great passion for the field of psychology and takes his time in reading all of his students projects. I have learned to use a lot of critical thinking in this class as I was writing my paper. Dr. Castillo has made this class a very positive experience fo rthe whole class.

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...

Very good.

It was very pleasant; I enjoyed this course a lot. It allowed me to spend an entire semester looking thoroughly into a topic of my own interest.

This course has really been one of my favorite classes. Being in-line has really helped as the other class did not fit my schedule. The hands-on feedback Dr. Castillo gave to me during the semester really helped me understand my paper and how to develop it. I think this class should be offered every semester to give a choice to students that are are not able to use the in-class version in their schedules.

This course is important for us to demonstrate what we have learned as well as important for us to research a topic that interests us. Having a given amount of pages due every couple weeks made the project less intimidating and a lot easier.

As a Psych major this class was great in gaining a greater understanding of how religious beliefs and supernatural beliefs are not only created but how they effect people and the power of the mind.

It was amazing and so informative. I learned things I never knew. Which I enjoy. This truly helped me in my major, and even more this class has affirmed to me that I am on the right track of my degree choice.

I learned an amazing amount of information about religions and cultural practices around the world, and towards the end of the class I learned a lot about Christianity's early beginnings. The information was absolutely fantastic and I would recommend this class highly. Rather than rely on hearsay or myths about different peoples, I have learned factual and helpful information.

I was a minor for my major, or a complementary requirement.

This class was not taken as a graduation requirement, but because I was interested in the class and I enjoy Dr. Castillo's methods of teaching.

I thought there's nothing that could be added. The videos were great, and so was the chosen text.

The information was hallucinating and never dull.

I think his requirements and resources are great. I'm more of a visual learner and he incorporates videos with a lot of great information into his classes in addition to books and various articles. I like that there is a lot of different material to learn from. It can be very challenging to have only 13 questions with so much material for the questions to be drawn from, but he provides study guides which help.

i thought it was great, and needs no further improvement. However, maybe a few more texts or personal lecture notes from Castillo would be helpful instead of just relying on interpretting the video and text on ones own, without any input from him at all.

When a noted ok student is showing difficulty show intrest and offer Help. Would it really be to much to oh never mind

I would recommend not using so many videos because there is a lot of material that is covered and it takes more time to take notes than reading the actual book. There is also a lot of material that can be overheard when using too many videos. I would also recommend replying to posts to help with discussions.

I think he did great!

Nothing. I very much like his teaching method. It's challenging and I learn a lot. This was another great class.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

Great, I wish he was a little more active in this class, maybe presenting his own views, or teachings, or lecture notes instead of mostly learning from the text and videos, and fellow students.

He is very approachable.There is no intimidation when asking a question. EH is very helpful. I wish I could have more classes with him!

His assignments are simple, to the point, and effective. He answers questions and grades work promptly. our quizzes were not opened for review even after grading, however when I had a question about one of my quizzes, he sent me which questions were wrong, which I think is a fair-ground. I have zero complaints and I like his uncomplicated yet purposeful teaching style.

An A-

He knows his subject so well, it was a great way to scratch the surface of the world of mysticism and religion.

He is a smart and knowledgeable man. He gave us material that was relevant to the subject and brought up issues in a nonbiased manner.

He's a great teacher. There is a lot of material to learn from, which is delivered in different methods. I really appreciate his level of consistency and that we know what to expect and when. He is never late with grading or posting announcements and that's great for someone like me. We always know what's coming next and how the semester will go.

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...

Great course!

I wish I could have been in an actual class setting, instead of online. I think if I get the chance I would definately register for another class.

I absolutely loved this course, so much important material with facts on things that I hear so much mythical controversy over. Now I feel that I have actual information rather than just having to go on what others 'think' because that's what they have 'heard' from 'somewhere.' The main textbook Magic, Witchcraft, and the Supernatural was a good comprehensive text. However, it was written in from the lens of two men. I had a couple of issues with some of the descriptions, where the picture or scenario could have been more objectively described had there been at least one feminist author. I would definitely like to have a text, especially covering material such as this, with the addition of a feminists' point of view. The other supplementary text was also great. I was especially excited that there was a major focus on the evaluation of early Christianity's beginnings, because that's the world that I live in. It might have also been nice to cover some material from The Chalice and the Blade book, because religious roots in that book are viewed with a feminist lens and incorporate women into religious history, not as a side note but as a primary figure, and tells how those practices were eroded away. For a class such as this, I feel that the female religious figures, because they were so absolutely essential to many early religions, should be one of the main themes for study-as we are studying mainly early ritual, practices, and beliefs, how they came to be and how some were dissolved. That was the only major incompleteness to this course.

Aplus

There was certainly a lot of material to cover in this course during such a short period of time. I think it was a bit much to ask for some working and taking care of their family. But overall it was an interesting course that got the mind running, especially mine which i didn't think much about religion before.

I give this a big thumbs up

Great class that really makes the students think.

Very interesting course. I've been trying to take it now for the past couple years and didn't see it or it wasn't available when I was. I was so happy this worked out since I'll be gradutating soon. I learned so much about religion that I never knew as well as so many other things. I'm very glad that I took this class. Very interesting topic.

21. Other comments:

none

All in all I do love the literature and movies that opened my eyes to my future in psychology. I greatly want to thank him for his teaching style, it's awesome for someone that wants to learn. "like me"

I would also recommend syncing the announcements that are made with the things they are associated with. I found that the announcement for the final quiz didn't have something that was in the study guide. I followed the announcement like i was told and the test ended up with the material that was on the study guide and not in the announcement. I do appreciate that you replied to me but it didn't quite make sense. I didn't know where you told me to look because they both said to study different things.

Thank you!

Enjoyed taking this course. Great instructor, great class, and great material covered.

Thank you Dr. Castillo!

I would have enjoyed more interaction with the Professor. I realize that the course is online but there was too much self teaching.

16. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

I would have liked an answer key or a review of the quizzes. There was no opportunity to see what was missed or to debate any of the answers. In every online course I have taken, there are always errors on the quizzes. This online course gave no opportunity to defend the answer chosen

The teaching style and methods in the course given online by Richard Castillo requires no change. The material covered were available through lecture presentation, discussion board, and weekly exams. Great presentation slides.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

I would recommend him. great teacher.

I have dealt with Dr. Castillo in a hybrid course situation, which I prefer over 100%online.

Richard Castillo's overall evaluation remains above satisfactory. I enjoyed being in his course. The reading material provide data, analytical procedures, knowledge and critical thinking when exploring how mental illness is diagnosed, treated, defined, and understood.

In my opinion I believe Dr. Castillo is a great professor. I understand this is a summer course and material is condensed into a few weeks, which makes the work load a little harder.

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...

There was ALOT of information to cram into a 6 week course. I would have enjoyed the course if I had taken it for an entire semester.

Excellent evaluation of this course. The course objective was clear from the beginning, the reading material was at a high volume. The chapter presentation provided clear definitions and context of the material covered. Time management, keeping with the weekly course schedule, and weekly course exam kept me in line so that meeting required assignments. The learning outcome in analyzing issues from multiple culture perspectives in treating, understanding, and connecting with local and global issues with mental illness, made me more aware of this issue.

21. Other comments:

Great course. The online flexibility is the number one reason I am able to better my education.

I would defenitley take another course with Dr. Castillo!

2. If this course was taken to fulfill course requirements for your concentration/major, how did this course enhance your personal and/or professional development in your concentration/major?

It was taken as an elective. It helped me understand a lot about the human body and the functions. And it helped me understand the thinking styles of different cultures.

course was an elective =)

I learned there is a definite connection between culture and mental illness and the effects a persons culture has on their beliefs of their mental illness.

This course enhanced my personal and/or professional development in my concentration/major by teaching me how culture and mental illness are related or understood in a cultural context.

This course explained and covered topics in psychology of culture and mental illness.

This course I have really learned alot about psychology in different cultures and mental illnesses.

It made me aware of the importance culture plays in diagnosing and treating disorders.

This course helped me learn about the struggles people, adults and children alike, face with mental illnesses and how doctors, nurses, and people view them and their illnesses. This course will also help to remind me that everyone is special and unique in their own way.

The cultural aspect is immensely important in looking at mental illness - not just about disease but about how our culture affects us, teaches us not be view the world ethnocentrically.

Professor Castillo's classes always enhance and provide insight that is relevant to my concentration.

It was very interesting and I love reading Dr. Castillo's Book.

i really enjoyed taking this course because i have learned a lot about how this course could be useful in understanding mentally ill patients. and to learn about how anti-depresents medication can be dangerous for people to take and especially for young children who are diagnosed with depression. And it was also interesting to know that it could happen to anyone.

5. Please comment on the activities or resources that could be added to this course to improve your learning.

No all resources and activities were good.

If students would be able to review the exams after graded, (maybe a review only once) just to see what they got wrong.

There is A LOT of reading but the reading is very helpful in the quizes and discussions that are due. Although there is all of that reading the class is very informative and I really like the 6 short quizes rather than one or two large ones.

Nothing. His material is by far superior

I would say that i would not change or add anything to this on line course because its more convenient for me to do my work but am given a time limit and what day it should be turned in. overall, i really enjoyed this course especially its because my first on line course out my whole school year.

16. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

I think the first two books were a lot to read within the span of time you gave us. But the other readings were given were good.

There is only one suggestion, if it is possible... The videos are a little fuzzy, is there a way to down load them from the real player in a better format and maybe better quality of sound? Also, is there also a way to have the students log into an account (like the MyUH) for the required movies (account expires at the end of the semester), maybe that way they could review for an exam?

none

Having lecture would have helped. This course was more like an independent study course.

No suggestions.

It was a great course and I would recommend it changes only if Dr. Castillo feels it's necessary.

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

He is a good teacher and is there to help his students learn.

I agree with majority of the students, who told me that Dr. Castillo is a great processor to have. Hence, the reason why his classes are always full.

very good

good, the course objectives were clear.

he is a great professor!

that he is the best professor that I've had in all my years of college. His material is wonderful, and everyday I truly feel like I learn something. He is by far one of the most insightful people that I've come across in my lifetime. I've taken a few of his classes and intend on signing up for every class that he teaches. He is always very professionally dressed, which is rare to come by for teachers here in Hawaii. He is also very kind and welcoming to all of his students.

GRRREEEAAATTTT!

20. My overall evaluation of this course is...

The course was challenging because we had to read so much but it made me be more organized and i am happy about that.

Overall the course has been rewarding and on an ease of learning the material due to the discussions every other week and mini exams, which I felt were AWESOME. Although there were 6 exams, this gave students like myself as I feel anxiety and flustered if I am not well prepared. This gave me a chance to retain more information and obtain a better grade. I look forward and hope to have more courses with Dr. Castillo.

very good

good, this class covered topics of psychology.

That the reading material was very interesting and it was an okay class to take. And I would cconsider taking another class of his again.

a class that is very informative on culture and mental illness

Excellent class - great on-line course, very well set-up!

one of my favorite Castillo classes. His class involved a lot of reading but also a lot of learning!!!

I would recommend others to take it!

This course was interesting and very educating!!!

I think by going to psychological classes like (AA/Phobia/eating disorder) support group. Would help the class under stand up close how real the problems are.

None.

Nothing much it's seems fine to me

17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

Easy to talk to, always keep his office hours. Understanding,caring and professional professor.

Excellent and thought-provoking instructor

Overall, he is a really good teacher. He reminds us on a daily week what is due and until what time we have up to. He also kept the syllabus in a timely matter which was to an exact expectancy I had for this semester. He answers questions when asked and returns a well thought out answer. He is a great teacher and I wouldn't mind having him as my professor again.

What I expected, read the whole book do chapter question to prepare for quiz.

The course was a great way for me to earn my Psychology credit. I learned more than I expected, even if it was online. I was studying more because it was all based on me. I learned more self control, learning to make sure I did my work on time.

Something I wouldn't mind going back and doing again

simple, clear, and very effective. very good online course

quite easy

21. Other comments:

I would recommend this class to anyone who needed a credit in Psychology. He is a great teacher and doesn't fail to help you if you do. Whether it would be online or not, he never fails to make it feel like you didn't just take his class for nothing.

2. If this course was taken to fulfill course requirements for your concentration/major, how did this course enhance your personal and/or professional development in your concentration/major?

The course material was very interesting and I enjoyed learning about this topic. It taught me a lot about diversity and how the different cultures around the world react to sexual expression. It enhanced my personal perspective on just seeing how people think, react, and feel on such a personal topic. It was very intriguing.

This course explored an aspect of my major that although I am not going to focus on in my career I feel it is very valid to have in my own body of knowledge.

Yes Professor Castillo's classes are always thought provoking and very relevant to current issues. He provides great insight through his lectures and selection of his videos and readings.

I really found the material very interesting. Not your typical Psy class, and was very happy to have taken this course.

it made me look into a different perspective.

This course was taken as an elective and I enjoyed it very much

Yes great learning experience. Awesome teacher. Explains well

It made me more aware of the sexual issues that occur throughout society....

5. Please comment on the activities or resources that could be added to this course to improve your learning.

I think the course is fine just the way it is. The only thing that I would change is showing us the answers for the quizzes once we've taken it. I would personally like to see the answers for my own benefit.

I would like to access my correct and incorrect answers of my online quizes online so that I could know what I don't know. Even if I could only gain access after all quizes have been taken it would be easier than having to make an appointment to meet with the teacher.
