Horrible subject. Seriously sub-par compared with two other "core" politics courses that I've taken t other universities. The only enjoyable part was James Frost's tutorials because he taught us more about politics than Banfield could ever imagine. Banfield just wanted to hear his words repeated to him.

Good introductory subject to politics. Lecturers can act over the top sometimes but genuinely enthusiastic. They really want students to do well. Ensure your research essay uses as much course concepts otherwise you'll be penalised. Michael Dalvean was a really fun and down-to-earth tutor.
