Politics and International Relations, BA Hons FullTime
lecture and seminar leaders on the course are fairly hit and miss. Some of them are very engaging and seem to genuinely enjoy the teaching element of their job. These types of staff are the people I expected to be leading undergraduate courses. On the other hand, some are completely bored by their job. Some seem to just view ther responsibilities as a chore that gets in the way of their research. These lecturers are appalling and incredibly frustrating. They seem to have an air of utter contempt for you if you disagree with them or are not the best academic that has ever stepped foot in their seminar group. During my time at Uni I never met my personal Tutor once, largely because I kept being given a new one each year anyway, read more
