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
Professor Pope brings in outside knowledge that showcases real world examples. His style reflects the real world and is helping in actual career advice.
it's peanut butter jelly time
This guy is hilarious. Just do your work and you'll do fine. Fun class.
Came into this class expecting the worst - immediately became my most looked forward to one! Thanks Mr. P!
He is a great Professor. Very up to date with what is going on in the industry. Great with the tools at his disposal and very knowledgeable.
I don't agree with other comments listed. I have take 2 of Professor Pope's classes and gotten an A in both of them. I think he has a lot of useful real world information to give and I've learned a lot from him. His classes are fun and relaxed.
Professor Pope is a wonderful teacher. His assignments are straight forward and easy to understand. Plus his exam was my favorite, peanut butter and jelly is AWESOME!!
Mr.Pope is a good teacher. There are only three teachers in this department and its nice to get another perspective.
Very informative and uses real life examples. One of the better professors in this major.
I really enjoyed his class and felt he was helpful and I learned a lot.
HA HA HA HA HA. Maybe some find this professor hard to understand a lot of times but his fun side is awesome.
I enjoyed his classes
As the Professor mentor for the restaurant Wars, I think he rocks!
I have thoroughly enjoyed my last 2 semesters with Prof. Pope. He has been one of my favorite professors. I've learned a lot about Typography, Advertising Design and Illustration from him.
Very informative. He has a tremendous amount of knowledge about graphic design. Pope is willing to share that knowledge. His expectations are very high. Be prepared to work hard and have fun. Class is always interesting....sometimes comical.
He told the whole class that i used up his class time to look for online dates, which for the record, is NOT true... but other than that he was one of my fav professors at HGTC and he made the class well worth taking.
Great job, I had fun in this class!
I loved his class!
Great teacher, knows the field. Will help if you ask him. If not, your grade will show.
Professor Pope has been extremely helpful to me. When asked for his input he is informs you what suggestions you should make and go from there. He is straight forward and tells you how the Graphic Design industry is.
Pope pushes you beyond your limit with your work and creativity... also prepare to laugh, get fussed at and listen to various songs lol
enjoyed the class. straight to the point kind of teacher, doesn't take excuses.
Straight to the point kind of teacher who takes no sass.
I THINK HE GETS YOU READY FOR THE REAL WORLD.I GOT ALOT OF GOOD INFO FROM HIM ON THING THAT COULD HELP ME IN THE FUTURE.
Professor Pope is an okay digital art's teacher. The only thing to say is that he rates a student's work and would compare it as though he was the company and boast on how his work is better than ours.
I learned a lot in this class, because he used real world examples and basically gave us the materials he just tried to be a good teacher. He was tough, but really good.
The classes that he teaches are awesome. He currently works in the graphic design field and is very knowledgable. He is very willing to help any student with their design work.
Very knowledgeable professor. Straight forward and to the point. Definitely prepares his students for real world situations after school.
Very helpful when it comes to answering questions about presentation, the flow of our concept, giving suggestions or ideas that will help us out do ourselves. He teaches with a force that will literally stick in your mind. The knowledge he passes on will be and is extremely helpful. Professor Pope does an outstanding job in teaching!!
His class may not be the easier but I guarantee that you will learn from it! :)
Great informative class, that keeps the subject matter in touch with what's going on in business in the real world. The class has been challenging, but rewarding.
Andre Pope gave his students great knowledge about graphic design as well as knowledge about life. Pope has a great perspective on many subjects, and it was a pleasure being a student of his.
Interesting class.
Tough semester! But always informative and helpful.
Kind of hard, but pushed me to do better which taught me more than I thought I would learn in my second year.
MR. POPE IS A GREAT, CHALLENGING PROFESSOR. HIS CLASSES ARE NOT EASY AND YOU REALLY HAVE TO WORK HARD TO PASS, WHICH IS REWARDING FOR YOU IN THE LONG RUN.
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.
First semester in Mr. Pope's class definitely opened my eyes to the real world situations. I really enjoyed the class and I learned a lot. I could see a definite improvement in myself, my knowledge and designs. He was one of my favorite professors at Tech.
Andre Pope is a great professor. He teaches the objectives along with life lessons to really relate to students.
Not necessarily hard, but challenging. The good kind of challenge.
This class was very different from any of the others. I learned a lot from the professor as well as the people in my group.
Very consistent in challenging me to do better than best. If that makes any sense.
If your looking for a professor to hold you hand and tell you exactly what to do then you might want to think about changing schools. Pope knows his stuff and you can learn a lot from him but its not an easy A.
Always comes to class dressed spiffy. He will push you to go beyond your comfort zone when it comes to design.
Mr. Pope offers a very different but refreshing view on technology, art, and graphic design. I would recommend for anyone to take his class.
Very helpful. Knows what he's talking about. also very supportive.
A difficult class. Tends to be more on the negative side when reviewing students works.
Class could be difficult at times but it is for the best, allows you to learn to take criticism and better your work.
very usefull person
very helpful and laid back professor
Mr. Pope's projects are always so interesting, and they are structured to teach you new things, but not in a traditional way. You just end up learning so much in his classes without realizing it.
Very strict, but without being unlikeable.
He is very down to earth and gives very honest feedback with the work a student throws to the table. A very fun class and even though I want to pass the class, I'd do it again just for the extra experience.
Pope is very helpful as an intrustor as well as an overall easy person to talk to and work on biulding ideas with. I look forward to his class every week.
Pope's awesome. He gives you the freedom to produce what you want to produce, but holds you to high standards of quality. A really good balance of fun looseness and serious design expectations.
Andre Pope is an excellent professor. I really enjoyed his class. I learned a lot from him!.
awesome teacher with passion for design. very critical but very fair and friendly
great professor! best ive ever had!
Amazing teacher!
He helped me to see that this is not my passion. And that I should stay with what I am passionate about.
he is a very awesome teacher who can appeal to younger and older students. he makes everything in his lessons very clear. I recommend him for anyone interested in Design.
he was tough but challenging, was clear of what to expect in the world of design, I appriciated his method of teaching and having me look at my part of what I wanted in a career
I liked this class a lot because Mr. Pope is a great professor. I would love to have him again as professor!
Pretty cool proffessor alot of previous, and current work experience in this profession, so he has the ability to keep you current with the design world.
I believe that, professor pope is a great teacher. I feel this because he is genuine which is hard to find in professors. He is very helpful at explaining the material we are covering because he teaches it to a level that everyone can understand and relate to.
very interesting class more than i believed it would be i have learned a lot and interesting things that will also help towards my profession even thought it isnt design.
Very stern and upfront instructor. If you can't do this, you need to find another profession. Straight talk.
I liked his style of teaching. Learn by doing it. Great professor. Hope to have him again.
LEAR YOU CAN BE A GREAT DESIGNER WITH HARD WORK AND WITH PASSION!!! NEVER STOP PUSHING YOURSELF!!! YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU WANT AND GO WHATEVER YOU PLEASE IF YOU ARE DETERMIND
Very knowledgable up to date on the biz
I really love the hands-on experience, I totally recommend this class to anyone who wants to be in design. Even though I wanted to practice animation in this class, I still was able to obtain a lot from Professor Pope.
Andre Pope is a fine professor with giving instructions on projects and works that are clear sometimes. The work that are given are easy and presents examples after the class has read a chapter of the book. His style on how each teaches is good when showing everyone what we can learn in design class and greeting everyone when class started.
Professor Pope is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is very helpful and knowledgable. He gives you real life examples, shares his experiences in the graphic design business, and doesn't teach out of a book.
Good Prof. pushes us to do are best.
awesome instructor!!
Awesome dude.
Kool Professor! good speaker!
Mr. Pope was a very good teacher and very intelligent. I feel I've learned a lot from his class and I'll be able to take this further in life.
Always dressed very nice. Has real life examples. Loves talking in class...doenst get out A's
Great professor, very honest and shares his knowledge and life experiences openly
He's a hard professor to please, but that just helps you become a better designer. Striving to succeed in his class is painstaking but rewarding. You will definitely get some good portfolio pieces out of his class.
Great teacher, very thorough and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. If you apply yourself in this class and take the critiques to heart and not personal you will love this class. Focuses on real world aspects of Graphic Design, not just the textbook. Overall great experience!
Extremely practical and uses real world scenarios. Sometimes meticulous with grading but overall very fair and knowledgable ! Interesting and exciting professor !
Andre Pope was a helpful Professor and I enjoyed my time in class.
Professor Pope is very thorough. He relates everything to the real world. He is lively during lectures. He is honest during critiques. He pushes you to be better and better.
Thank you for being their for me when I needed to sit with you and go over my assignments when needed. Thank you!!!
Cool dude, gives you the newer generation feel of teaching to the graphic design world rather than the traditional means of teaching. Might discourage you at first but for the better!
This class was very ambiguous. It could have had more direction.
Great professor. Gave great feed back on projects we did for class.
Not the easiest but an awesome professor. Pushes students to make the best of themselves. Incorporates real world experience into the lectures. Offers help outside of class.
Professor Pope was very knowledgeable in his industry.
Hard but worth the effort you put in to the class.
Great professor! His real world stories and experiences are helpful. His assignments challenge you to think in new ways and improve your craft. You will definitely finish this class as a better designer.
I love PRofessor Pope's class. He was scary the first day but turned out to be my favorite professor
My favorite professor. Marked improvement in my designs under his instruction. His classes are relevant. He is actively involved in the design industry and it makes a difference. A great designer himself. His critiques are accurate and helpful in that his advice will take your design to the next level. His enthusiasm is contagious.
Andre Pope is an amazing instructor, his lectures are geared towards real life events that will help you become a better designer and also a great business person. He is there to give comments on your work and suggest some changes and why they are needed. He believes in exploring your surround, knowing that its how you grow and get great ideas.
Professor enjoys what he does i love the passion for advertising
An awesome professor and always my favorite class to be in. Prof. Pope strives to get your concepts to the next level and teaches the class so that you'd have a boost in your critical thinking. For those who are serious about graphic design, you will definitely get your moneys worth and then some with his classes.
So far the most real Professor I have had the pleasure of having. Incorporates real world applications and expectations to his lectures. Very beneficial to your education.
