Reviews of professor Jack Pope

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Be prepared for some difficult topics. This is a difficult course and a lot of us aren't familiar with hardware upon entering. However, professor Pope is undoubtedly on your side, reachable before or after class time and really seems passionate about teaching. Would easily take a course taught by him again.

Professor Pope gives a lot of homework and expects students to do a lot. There is a lot of reading done in this class so be prepared.

Pope is kind of hard to describe. Not a bad teacher by any means but won't be good to everybody. His class is incredibly labor heavy with time consuming assignments, and the way Pope goes through the material in class pretty much requires you to have engineering background. Very vague w/ lab feedback and keeps you guessing. Not really helpful

Took his 2030 course, BEWARE! There is lots of reading and homework, he is pretty knowledgeable on the subject but is harsh on grading. I recommend not to take his courses! Again, very terrible at grading!

I didn't understand anything he talked in the first month! He gave a lot of unnecessary hard tasks and readings not even related to the computer architecture! Hard to understand! The materials he gave is way beyond our abilities and gave too much burdens without any intermediate physic knowledge!

The labs for this course can require a lot of time to complete and can be quite challenging. However, he is good at responding to emails and can help guide you in the correct direction. He is generous when it comes to grading and provides multiple opportunities for extra credit.

Otherwise known as Pope, John for some reason. Took him for Machine Architecture. He understands that it's a difficult class, and the assignments look pretty intimidating, but he does everything in his power to give you points if you atleast attempt them. Multiple extra credit opportunities, loose grading. Hard topic in-general, great instructor!

Professor Pope is a good computer science professor. His classes will be especially challenging, but if you put in the work to ask him questions and understand the concepts, you'll be fine. He cares most about you learning the concepts of the material, and as long as you understand the concepts, you'll pass.

Professor Pope is very knowledgeable on the subject he is teaching, but as a teacher he can leave much to be desired. He will help you if you ask but when it comes to reviewing for tests he seems to leave you to your own devices to figure it out yourself even if you truly need the help. Very meh teacher and assignments are very complicated.
