Reviews of professor Joseph Barchas

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
In my opinion he is a 3/5 the only thing I don't like about his class is that all he does is just practice problems and he doesn't change his numbers for practice problems.

Took him during summer. The class is not difficult ,however if you think youll just chegg/quizlet through than dont take him. You need to work for his class, but trust me its an easy A if you put in the work. usually curves exams by 10+ points. Labs get lengthy so get started on them ASAP. Overall a solid choice! Take him

This was an online anytime class. If you don't have a lot of free time, or have a lot on your plate already i would not recommend this class. Lot's of notes need to be taken and a lot needs to be read. i took over 8 pages of notes to prepare for each test and i would still fail.

Dr. Barchas is an average professor. There is no workload and his exams require Respondus lockdown browser.  There is nothing interesting about this professor. All the answers are available on quizlet. Overall, its a dull subject, but easy to pass.

I took an online anytime class but he would post lecture videos from other classes. The quizzes were not hard at all, and the final was basically a compilation of previous quizzes. He sends fun and informative space-related announcements like the launch of Artemis rocket. Free book and quick to respond to messages. Has extra credit options.

Dr. Branchas is really nice however, if u don't participate in class he will get upset, I wish he could make the class more intresting. He curves a lot for the test and replace the finals with your lowest. Basically his class is just about how to know how to use the right formulas for the right problem.

Had him for Astronomy 1404 not 1403, but overall a great teacher. has tests and quizzes every once in a while but they are very easy. I'd be surprised if you had anything less than an A+ in his class, to be honest since he even drops like 3 of your lowest test scores.

Professor Barchas was a good professor. He gives weekly quizzes all of which are easy and open notebook. The exams are basically the same questions from the quizzes. They are lockdown browser with camera on though. He also answers back in a timely manner and is very helpful if you have any questions or concerns.
