What is your degree subject (both if joint)?
Creative and Profesional Writing with Media and Communications Studies

Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking?
The creative writing element did

If so, how? And if not, why not?
While the creative writing was relevent to my course, the module in general did not specifically link with writing or media

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?
Yes

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included?
No, I felt the module covered a broad spectrum of issues

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

What did you think of the module team?
Some were better than others, but in general the teaching was good

Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions?
No
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, Religious Studies, Media Studies and Politics): do you think this a useful way of approaching the topics covered in the module?
Yes as it gives an broader approach to the module

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 I think so, it has given me an insight into other disciplines besides my own

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, but only because I have too many modules that I wish to take in that semester

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

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea?
Yes

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 think the option of one long assessment would be good, but I can see why this would be a problem

What have you learned from the module?
A range of information on a wide variety of subjects

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why?
Anything on writing was useful, because it helped with my course

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why?
Some elements of setting up the blogs was very simple, although I can understand why it needs to be done

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’?
Nope
