What is your degree subject?: Social Care & Criminal Justice

Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking?: It doesnt really link well with any particular module, i think being bad was more of an everyday topic that everyone could relate to and there was never a right answer for anything that was talked about. I suppose it could fit in with criminal justice a little, because of peoples different behaviour and why they commit crime.

If so, how? And if not, why not?: It was more about peoples opinions about things in life and not actual facts like the other modules.

Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level?: It has just been appropriate for me, at first i thought it was going to be easy but then when i had to do the assignments it got more difficult but not hard.

Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate?: Yes,definately. Some of the topics were rude and ugh! It was good hearing other students views on the topics.

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included?: I think what was covered in the module was appropriate and i wouldnt change any, but i would prehaps add some up to date topics such as gun crime, single parenthood, things that people are going through.

Do you think that the format for classes has worked well?: Yes, it was good in the big lecture room and the presentations presented by the lecturers were also good.

What did you think of the module team?: I think all the lecturers were good and all had a sense of humor but some talked really quiet considering it was such a big lecture room. When you cant hear the lecturer you turn off, well i do.

Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions? Yes sometimes

Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? This is what we did a lot of and i enjoyed this as we got to hear views from a lot of people.

Information and talk from lecturers? I like to hear the facts from the lecturers and thats it.

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?: I believe it is a good way of approaching the topics as all the different perspectives can be looked upon.

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?: I think i have benefitted from this type of approach, because ie now seen things in different perspectives.

Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter?: I think i would as its nice to go through everday things and discuss them with other people and discuss why people think they happen and how society looks at things.

Are you planning to take the follow-up module PH2004 ‘It Shouldn’t Be Allowed’ at level 2?
I havent looked at the modules yet but when i do i'll definately consider it.

Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend?: Yeh of course.

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea?: I enjoyed doing the blogs, it was good researching some of the topics on the net.

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 like havin too shorter ones, its not so much stress, especially with all the other modules work thats got to be in, the short ones are just fine. I did a short story, really enjoyed writing it, the rationale was just confusing though.

What have you learned from the module?: I learned that all the time i say friggin hell and my teacher at school used to tell me off that it actually meant masturbating.

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why?: All of it was useful because i learnt words and things that i always say but never had a clue what they actually meant, so this module has changed my vocabularly.

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

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