What is your degree subject (both if joint)?

Counselling and Psychology

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

Yes, i think it address certain topics that would be typically dealt with by counsellors and also with any psychologist it is the interest in behaviour that attracted me to this module.

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

I have found it a bit too easy

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

Yes, i liked the topics covered.

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included?

I think bullying could be an interesting one to cover.

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

yes

What did you think of the module team?

It seemed to take lecturers from their field of expertise and i think that this is a valuable contribution.

Do you think it would have been better to have had more:

Small group discussions? yes, gives the chance for others to contribute

Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? At times people tended to dominate the 'platform'.

Information and talk from lecturers? i think the balance was right.

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, see comment above.

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?

I would.

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

Not sure yet.

Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend?

Yes

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

I personally Im not a fan of blogs, being dyslexic, but i do think it encourages individuals to look further into the research available.

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 would have looked both to have been longer, I did like the chance to work on a creative piece. Although I wasnt sure how i would reference that piece as the content was completely my own.

What have you learned from the module?

Ive have gained a more in depth knowledge on the topics covered and ive learnt how to use blogs :-)

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why?

I enjoyed the open environment in which to discuss taboo topics.

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why?

None really, it all had its place.

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

I expect it has been said before, but i really found people having their own discussions during the lecture very off putting and at times i didnt want to come to the lecture because of this.

I think watching the film 'Kids' was a great idea to open peoples eyes, with younger people sometimes, particularly if they have lived a sheltered life it can help them to develop their own thoughts.
