Age? 18

Sex? female

What is your degree subject (both if joint)? Philosophy and psychology

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

If so, how? And if not, why not? because it raises questions that i should be thinking about like how people behave in society and philosophical questions like is it acceptable to allow these types of badness in a so-called moralistic world.

Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level? at first i thought it was a little easy because of the word count for the other two assignments, but after receiving a poor grade for it and knowing i worked hard i realised the module must be on the harder side

Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate?defeniatly although i think smoking was a little outdated moe lectures should have involved what the first two lectures were saying about what it is too be bad

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included? bad manners could have been covered

Do you think that the format for classes has worked well? not really the setoutallowed too many people to talk over the lecture and not get involved in any group disussions considering it was such an interesting module a class room may be better for this type of lecture.

What did you think of the module team? they were fabulous teachers as they gave detailed and interesting accounts of the module that were always well detailed if i wanted to find out more.

Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions? no this would have just been time consuming and not letting people hear everyone's view on the subject it would have been boring to voice views to no-one with an opinion to oppose it.

Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? definately, reference to certain peoples blog's could have also been a good thing to discuss

Information and talk from lecturers? i think we had enough information

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? yes because it allows the more creative people to get a good grade

Do you think that interdisciplinary modules are a good idea? yes because in discussion people are coming from different view points

Do you think you have benefited from the interdisciplinary approach taken in the module? personally i dont think i would have because i prefere to write essay's but i did like having lecturers from different backgrounds

Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter? yes because it makes the module more interesting

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

Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend? yes i have been already

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea? yes because it allows people like myself with other responsibilities to still get a good grade because the work i spread out and managable.

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 liked the way it was set out because the blogs is quite a big assignment

What have you learned from the module? firstly what a blog is, most importantly i found lessons can be funny and interesting the masturbation section i knew would be a great topic and after reading the literature that was given to us it can be seen that the subject can be quite serious

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why? watching kids although it was quite boring at the begining, was very educational all topics made me look at people in a different way and made me evaluate why they are acting bad and if it really is bad behaviour or jus not what norm want

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why? none

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’? just that i really enjoyed it and i am looking forward to the level two version.
