This guy rocked my face off on a daily basis. His class is kinda hard but if you have the patience to study what will help you become a better pilot then you will be okay. I HIGHLY SUGGEST this professor he is great.

Dr. Theokas s a real genious. I dont know how hard he is for the upper level coures, but he is awesome for the private pilot course. You will not fall asleep in his class because he is always making jokes or sound effects. Cool guy. Retired USAF C-130 pilot. Sweet.

Off topic, a real dick, does not help, comes for the money, cocky, arrogant. This class is hard and useless. If you don't have to take this class, don't waste your money. Take the tests and quizzes are hard. His tests are so off topic that's impossible to understand. He should not be teaching. The study guides is ineffective for testing. WORTHLESS!

I cannot say enough how much i enjoyed his class! I will agree that he is a very challenging professor and he will make you work for your grade! However, you will learn a lot from him if you want to. I worked very hard and studied many hours to get a B in the course but I prefer that over getting the info spoon fed to me. Take his class!

This guy is pretty cool. He's very enthusiastic with his teaching and will definitely keep you entertain. However it can take you a while to learn how to dissect what is actually important in his lectures from what is just mindless rabble.

He's smart and outspoken and animated, however, you will have much trouble with his quizes, constant essays and MCQ tests (which involve two essay questions). I don't recommend him, even though he's a really cool guy.

Comment:
Hmmm, Buy the book and read it. If you just read the powerpoints you will not do well on the tests at all. You will need to work for your "A" in his class. Also be prepared for tangents, as he is good at those. But overall he cares and he will help you if you ask for it.

Do not take AS405 with this guy. He is the worst teachers I have ever had. My GPA is 3.8 and the best grade I can get is a C. So next time u think about taking AS 405 with Theokas, dont. In fact I wouldnt take any class with the guy. He is a good guy but just really bad at what he does. Now I see why he got fired as chairof the flight department

Dr Theokas is unique and I learned a lot in his class. I don't agree with other negative comments. We get out of class what we put into it. No teacher is here to "ENTERTAIN" us. I found him very helpfull. I was failing the course and he rescued me. I am grateful!

Nice enough guy but class is difficult to comprehend. Lectures do not parallel his tests. Lectures can be a little lengthy and dry, at times. Always has time for his students and very friendly. I wish his class was more clear.

I dread every Tuesday and Thursday simply because I have to sit through 1 hour and 15 minutes of this man's class. He does not stop running his mouth the entire class. Uses no visuals. Tests are very confusing and have nothing to do with his lectures. This guy needs to go back to Georgia.

Even though I hate his quizzes, its nice to see somebody at this school challenging us. Quizzes suck because in order to do well you have to read like 80 pages out of the book the night before, so its just worth taking the 60 quiz average. Man knowshislaw
