Mr. Pope is the worst professor in the Digital Arts department. He doesn't have an advance degree but brags everyday on how wonderful he is. He is not helpful and produces lousey work. HGTC should really think twice about hiring this professor again. Do not have him print any of your work; his quality is poor and is overpriced. Avoid this professor

Pope has useful advice and a great deal of knowledge about trends but if he doesn't like your work or thinks you didn't put effort into it he will straight up tell you. Very hard to please but you get a real sense of accomplishment when your design is good. Pope pushes your design capabilities and isn't afraid to tell you your stuff sucks.
