If there is no strike the module is a very good one. After the third strike of the year only 10 students (including me, I counted very clearly, not joking) turned up to the Seminar, and I want to climb out of the window too. The course is so divided, On one side you are expected to be an artist, on the other you are academic, you have to be mentally very healthy to take this course and go to this school.
