Student testimonials
“Your teaching is hard to improve. You’ve been a very engaging seminar leader and this definitely helped the class get through the absolute sadness of zoom classes. You made me feel like I was in an actual class!” Walter Brenno Colnaghi, MSc Theory and History of International Relations, LSE (2020-2021)
“Having Georgios as a teaching has been a pleasure because his enthusiasm for the module is overwhelmingly present. I particularly enjoy our seminars as he plays devils advocate and challenges our views which enables us to see perspectives which we might have not considered. Georgios lectures are concise in telling the stories and context of genocides.” Fahmida Shah 3rd Year BA History, City University of London (2020-2021)
“I thought your teaching style was wonderful, the stand-out seminar of my entire programme. I particularly enjoyed how you allowed for unobstructed discussion for the vast majority of the time and only nudged or guided it on topic softly. Every contribution you made was extremely valuable and added depth to the discussion rather than bulldozed it as some seminar tutors often do. All in all, I really can't say that there was a single thing that could be improved. Please don't ever stop teaching, i'd have likely lost all hope in my programme if not for the HY400 seminars” Rhys Jones, MSc China in a Comparative Perspective, LSE (2020-2021)
“Your sessions are very engaging and allow us to understand topics on a deeper level as well as participate in debates that allow our ideas to expand. I have really enjoyed your teaching and feel I've taken a lot away from your classes. Thank you!” Carla Devine 3rd year BA History, City University of London (2020-2021)
“Mr Giannakopoulos is a very engaging, charismatic and encouraging tutor to be taught by. Despite the challenge of online learning, he has really made an effort to get to know our seminar group. I also very much appreciate his use of IT: creating polls for reading prior to the seminar is excellent practice, and should be adopted more widely.” T.D. Chattell - MSc History of International Relations, LSE (2020-2021)
