Questionnaire

Age? 30

Sex? F

What is your degree subject (both if joint)? Creative and Professional Writing with Literature.

Does 'Being Bad'relate well to the other modules you are taking? Not really, but it will give me ideas for my creative writing.

If so, how? And if not, why not? Answered above

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

Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate? yes

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included?Study of specific bad behaviour such as murder, but maybe murder is way more than being bad.

Do you think that the format for classes has worked well? yes

What did you think of the module team? A good mixture of people and ideas

Do you think it would have been better to have had more:Small group discussions? Yes.

Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? No

Information and talk from lecturers? Yes

The approach taken in the module is interdisciplinary (drawing on perspectives from English Literature, Film Studies, Creative Writing, Philosophy, Media Studies and Politics): do you think this a useful way of approaching the topics covered in the module? it is useful way of dealing with material, but for some students with no experience of creative writing/scripts etc, making it compulsory to have 2 written assessments in different formats can be difficult. eg, I have no experience of creative writing, so am finding rationale and actual writing difficult, as a novice.

Do you think that interdisciplinary modules are a good idea? yes.

Do you think you have benefited from the interdisciplinary approach taken in the module? Yes

Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter? Yes, it's life and it should be explored.

Are you planning to take the follow-up module PH2004 ‘It Shouldn’t Be Allowed’ at level 2? Definately

Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend? Yes

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea? Yes but the volume is a bit much.

What did you think of the other assessments (e.g. would it be better to have one longer assessment rather than two shorter ones?)? It's fine how it is.

What have you learned from the module? To be more aware that what I condider to be bad is not the same for others and maybe be a bit more relaxed about some things.

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why? I think just looking at the different things like tattoos that some people think is bad and I don't. It was just looking our moral differnces and not being judgemental.

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why? I thought all parts were relevant, very interesting.

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’? It was a great module to do, interesting and thought provoking, Brilliant.
