What is your degree subject (both if joint)?
Creative & Professional Writing AND Public Relations

Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking?
I think so yes.

If so, how? And if not, why not?
It gives me valuable insights into different opinions people have on topics. This is always a good skill to have when tailoring a piece of creaive writing or public relations.

Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level?
Appropriate level.

Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate?
I think some could have been substituted for more 'bad' subjects.

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included?
Perhaps abortion, gang culture or the murder of a superhero franchise by lazy movie studios! Sorry I'm still a little pissed at the shocking film that is spider-man 3.

Do you think that the format for classes has worked well?
Some weeks worked better than others.

What did you think of the module team?
It was good to have a variety of guest lecturers offer their knowledge.

Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions?
Possibly as it would have given more people the opportunity to voice their opinions. Then again some like to listen and absorb everything being said around them, me included.

Discussion and debate among the class as a whole?
I think this was encouraged often enough it was just the usual people that spok in every lecture.

Information and talk from lecturers?
I think the information was sufficient and enabled the class to draw their own opinions on each subject. To much information would have felt like the lecturers were trying to tell us what to think.

The approach taken in the module is interdisciplinary (drawing on perspectives from English Literature, Film Studies, Creative Writing, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Media Studies and Politics): do you think this a useful way of approaching the topics covered in the module?
Yes as it gave a variety of views on all the topics.

Do you think that interdisciplinary modules are a good idea?
As long as they compliment eachother yes. It can make you look at things in completely different ways.

Do you think you have benefited from the interdisciplinary approach taken in the module?
Yes it has encouraged me to think for myself.

Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter?
It depends what kind of modules they are. Philosophy based modules definately but sometimes theory just has to be taught, although this approach would perhaps make learning theory more enjoyable.

Are you planning to take the follow-up module PH2004 ‘It Shouldn’t Be Allowed’ at level 2?
If it is in my course options yes.

Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend?
Definately.

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea?
Yes I found them really enjoyable. They gave people like myself who are not as vocal in class a chance to express their views and opinions another way.

What did you think of the other assessments (e.g. would it be better to have one longer assessment rather than two shorter ones?)?
I personally liked how the assignments were set.

What have you learned from the module?
That you always have to be open to other peoples opinions because their views will more than likely differ from your own.

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why?
The module as a whole has been useful because it has taught me alot of interesting things and encouraged me to think more in depth and ask questions about my opinions.

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why?
I wouldn't say any of it was a waste of time however some lectures just didn't appeal to me as much as others. This was a matter of personal preference though.

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’?
Be stricter on the people gossiping throughout lectures.
