Reviews of professor John Barbas

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Not sure why some people have negative ratings on him. Probably one of the easiest classes I have ever taken at OSU. All you have is a few Quizzes and like 2 tests, no homework. Only thing that sucks is that attendance is mandatory due to FAA requirements.

Yannis is an amazing person who truly cares about what he teaches. The grade you get is directly correlated to how much effort and studying you put in. There are tons of topics covered in depth in a short time period. The class is very rigid due to the Part 141 setting.

Hes a great guy and truly cares for his students. Hes good at explaining things over time but sometimes gets ahead of himself. Just keep asking questions and he will help you. Fair amount of studying required. Dont take this class if you dont plan on becoming a pilot. Its regulated by the FAA.

Yannis is a truly awesome professor/ instructor. I took his advanced Multi-Engine Land course my junior year at OSU. He breaks down extremely complex topics into terms anyone can understand. He takes his time and ensures everyone fully understand the material. He loves participation, and frankly its through the participation you learn the most.

Very interesting class, but requires lots of studying in preparation for exams or quizzes. Only 6 graded assignments for the entire semester, so make sure you are on top of the material. Free textbooks, and attendance is required for attaining a flight spot. Wish there were more opportunities to raise my grade. Barbas is one of the best profs ever.

I really enjoyed this course and look forward to taking future courses with Yannis. This is simply the type of class where you will get a good grade if you put in the work, but if you slack, your grade will reflect that. Yannis is incredibly knowledgeable and really makes the course fun. He was also very caring and always willing to help students!

Mr. Barbas (Yannis) is a great instructor. Hes extremely fair, but if you dont put in the work, you simply wont do well. He instructs this class well, but he is also a great resource for career advice. Come ready to learn, and youll do just fine.

Yanni was one of my favorite professors Ive had. Theres a lot of material to get through, so the class is fast paced, but if you put in the effort outside of class its not too difficult. Attendance is mandatory (per FAA regulations). Lots of stories and examples from his years in the airlines keep it interesting and relevant.
