What is your degree subject (both if joint)?
Film Studies

Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking?
Yes

If so, how? And if not, why not?
There are a lot of films out there that people consider to be bad cinema; it has been interesting to find out peoples opinions, and has made me more aware of peoples behaviour in films.

Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level?
I think it has been just about right for the module. My only niggle would be having to do a blog every day

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?
No I think it was pretty comprehensive

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

What did you think of the module team?
I thought they were all good, but I feel the drugs lecturer was more encouraging to people to express their opinions

Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions? Yes, they would have helped people understand everyone elses opinions

Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? No, there were too many talking in class as it was

Information and talk from lecturers? No there was enough

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, it was useful to hear opinions from other students

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

Are you planning to take the follow-up module PH2004 ‘It Shouldn’t Be Allowed’ at level 2?
No, I already have too many I would like to choose

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

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea?
Yes, but it would have been much more helpful if we could have done more than one in a day

What did you think of the other assessments (e.g. would it be better to have one longer assessment rather than two shorter ones?)?
No I think it was good to have two smaller ones, it was also good to choose what type of assessment we wanted to do.

What have you learned from the module?
That people have lots of opinions on different forms of being bad. One person may feel that doing drugs is really bad behaviour, whereas another may feel that infidelity is the worst way of being bad.

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why?
Hearing all sides to something, I'm definately more open to hearing someone elses opinions now.

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why?
None of it was really a waste of time.

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’?
It would have been more helpful to have the second assessment returned earlier, so as to use it as a guide for assessment three.
