.. Final Blog: Questionnaire ..

Age? 19

Sex? Female

What is your degree subject (both if joint)? Social Care and Social Policy

Does 'Being Bad' relate well to the other modules you are taking? Not that much

If so, how? And if not, why? This module I think does not relate well to my other modules, however as I am studying Social Care and Social Policy, I feel that this module would be useful with my Social Care modules, as I have learnt to reflect critically on the place and importance in human life of a range of phenomena that are judged immoral, dangerous, unhealthy, unreasonable or imprudent. By learning about lifestyles and different behaviours that individuals may occur is important within my Social Care degree.

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, because all the topics that we learnt in our lectures were all forms of bad behaviour, which was very useful with our assignments and our blog too.

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included? Knife crime, abortion and drink driving.

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

What did you think of the module team? They were really nice, friendly people that kept the lectures interesting and enjoyable to learn.

Do you think it would have been better to have had more: Small group discussions? Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? Information and talk from lectures? I personally prefer information given and talks from the lectures more then discussions, so I would say to have more information handed out definitely.

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 is a useful way of approaching the topics covered in the module? Yes

Do you think that interdisciplinary modules are a good idea? Yes, because it draws on more areas instead of just focusing on one particular topic.

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 Should'nt Be Allowed' at level 2? Not to sure

Would you recommend 'Being Bad' to a friend? Yes definitely

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea? Yes, its different to the usual assignments, and the blogs are also another way to show peoples opinions and views on topics that were mentioned in the lecture and also topics that people find being bad.

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 prefer how the assignments were done, such as the two short ones, because both assessments were different from one another and its also different from other modules too.

What have you learned from the module? The main thing which I have learnt from this module would be to respect other people's views and opinions on topics, because not everyone has the same opinions as each other, and also the other thing would be the some of the topics that were discussed throughout the module such as smoking; why people do it? I found very interesting and enjoyed sitting in the lecture and learning the reasons why people are attracted to these types of behaviours.

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why? I can't say what part, as I found everything that I learnt in this module very useful and it also made me think critically about people's lifestyles and behaviour on certain things that people may do.

What parts do you think were a wasted time and why? None

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding 'Being Bad'? This module is definitely something which I didn't expect, I found it very interesting and definitely worthwhile and recommend this module to others.
