World Politics

Am I the only one bored out of my brain in this course and annoyed with the lack of seating?

And has anyone checked out the assignment,
its just a research plan basically right?

Re: World Politics

I can no longer tolerate Gil Merom. Why does the uni employ him as a lecturer?

The combination of his heavy (Israeli?) accent, incomprehensibly structured lectures and tangential trips make him impossible to tolerate for two hours.

Just look at his lecture notes for the introductory lecture on Blackboard. Can you imagine more misery in a two hour capsule? Maybe a Bette Midler movie....

I'm no longer attending his lectures. I'm sure the tutes and textbook will compensate.

Re: World Politics

You know, I hated Gil with a passion as well in my first year. But then, after taking another course in my second year (it was a toss-up between his course and anothers) he actually grew on me. And some people really love him to bits.

It really just depends on the individual. I'd love to tell you it'll get better, but it doesn't. Are you guys in Eastern Avenue for the lectures? That was always the bit I found the worst as the seats were soft and squishy in those lectures to, so falling asleep was a piece of cake.

Re: World Politics

He makes a suprisingly good tutor if you get him. Expands and clarifies on what he talks about in the leatures - just make sure you have done the readings as he randomly asks questions about them to individual ppl.

Re: World Politics

Do you guys still have a multiple choice exam? If so, its pretty much straight from the readings...

Re: World Politics

Anyone else started on the assignment? About 600 words done. I've realised how good I am at bullshitting on issues that I hardly know anything about. I somehow realised that there's this problem in rational choice theory and the way that it is applied and now should have a really unique essgay.

Re: World Politics

1200 words Yay, more than half-way done. Earliest start to an assignment ever. I'm yet to use any references though, so hopefully I'll be able to find stuff to match my arguments.
