What is your degree subject (both if joint)? BA (HONS) SOCIOLOGY

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

If so, how? And if not, why not? Thinking critically about behaviours which we as a society label as deviant is part of sociological thinking- deviance will be different in different society's and over periods of time because of the way norms and values develop and change- this concept is key in the study of sociology as the norms and values we are formed within determine to some extent the person we become.

Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level? i have found this module to be at an appropriate level.

Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate? yes- even though some things included didn't strike me as 'BAD'- thinking critically in lectures allowed me to see other perspectives.

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included? Issues like abortion, teen pregnancy or euthanasia- would all be controversial and challenging- perhaps to much so.

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

What did you think of the module team? good

Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions? definitely
Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? yes
Information and talk from lecturers? this was at an appropriate level.

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

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? yes

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

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

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea? definitely- i feel that having the opportunity to express my views on things- and talk them through for my own benefit was beneficial.

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 enjoyed the assessments as they were different from the usual essay only format- this was one of my favourite things bout the module.

What have you learned from the module? i have learned to question myself about the things i find so offensive and wrong- is there good to be said for bad behaviour- i have found that most times there is.

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why? weblog tutorials as i had no clue what to do.

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’? no
