Most of it is just political discussion and all the students arguing overly pointless stuff. Tuts regularly descending into continuous, cycling discussions about how crap everything is, hardly ever heard of anything positive. Lots of good facts but just interlaced with politics and it becomes messy. Easy to pass, probably better to read some history textbooks if you just want the history of it. Depends what you want out of the course I guess. Tutors and lectures are nice guys, just too many self-righteous students ruining it.
