City University of Seattle

"I completely enjoyed this class. You are a fantastic instructor, and I wish you could give classes in how to be an effective, engaged, inter-active on line instructor!"

"I am sad to see this class come to an end, I enjoyed it very much! I hope to see you as my professor in future classes! You were insightful, punctual, and always had constructive advice for me. Thank you! "

"I've absolutely LOVED this course! It was everything I thought it would be and more."

"First off, you Prof. You are without a doubt one of the best Profs I've had. I love that you use visual techniques, which made much more of this come alive for me. And you've been incredibly accessible to us terminal on-liners. Your innovative techniques just made this a lot more fun."

"I must give kudos to our instructor. Professor, you are very good at what you do. Instructors like you made this school worth attending."

"Although I’m a Psychology major, this class was one of my favorites, and I’m very glad to be ending my undergrad life with this one....I really enjoyed Prof. Geoff’s teaching style, especially the audio replies to our discussion posts."

"Thanks for the great class. You were really engaged the entire 10 weeks with all of us students, which isn’t always the case when learning online. It is fun to take a class that is so obviously a passion of whoever is leading it. And it really feels like communication is your passion."

"No other teacher and/or professor is as engaged as you are on the discussion board. The dialogue is fun, and I am learning a lot from it. In addition, the pictures and cartoons are great. Correcting our grammar -- or even better, making us correct our own grammar — is a nice touch for communications."

"I do not like it when you, correct people’s grammar on the discussion board, that could be done in e-mail."

"Your involvement with us and as a class has been very satisfying. I like that you wrote back and responded to us in the discussions, in emails, etc. throughout the course. Also, your video response was great; it made me feel that you cared! Your discussions are thought out, and you make us use real-life examples to make them more personable."

"I enjoy your thoughtfulness as an instructor. You’re very involved in the discussions, and it seems like you really care about our paths and how we are doing in the class. The YouTube response was really cool; it switched up the boredom of online coursework. You’re by far one of the most involved, approachable instructors that I’ve had here at CityU."

"Professor Geoff, you are the best educator I’ve come across in a long time. I really appreciate the active discussion board. Thank you."

"This [COM 201] is by far and away the most interaction I have had with an instructor during my stay here at CityU. Prof. Pope has made the Internet learning experience truly interactive."

"This has by far been my favorite class. I have never had a professor that was as open and understanding as you Prof Geoff. The feedback given from discussion questions was so awesome and insightful and the pictures added refreshment to the DQs. They made me laugh a few times. Also, the YouTube reply was the highlight of the course for me because I am taking my classes entirely online so the video made everything seem REAL!"
