What is your degree subject (both if joint)?
Creative and Professional Writing and English
Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking?
It does touch some themes and behaviors that we may encounter during our curses.
If so, how? And if not, why not?
Things like lying, smoking or infidelity feature greatly in literature from various movements and genres. Getting to know that bad behavior better will help us to better understand the characters.
Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level?
I think it was on an appropriate level. The module required constant work and often research on the topic we were discussing or writing about.
Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate?
Yes, it covered a lot of bad behavior. There are more examples of such behavior, but there is no way to determine whether they are better then the examples we discussed
Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included?
Probably not, I’m satisfied with the list. Clichés like ‘drugs’ or ‘drinking’ seem too casual
Do you think that the format for classes has worked well?
Yes it did, a lot of lectures were really interesting and thrilling when it came to slides and movie extracts
What did you think of the module team?
Great professionals, some lectures were as gripping as the topics they approached.
Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions?
No, there is no point in that, as everyone is expresses his views on his/hers blog
Discussion and debate among the class as a whole?
No, the class is too big, the topics in most cases too controversial, a discussion would disrupt the whole lecture.
Information and talk from lecturers?
We received a lot of useful and interesting information during each lecture, perhaps the only thing that could really be improved is more handouts with interesting extracts from novels or essays. (Like the handout we got on self-abuse with a chapter from Portnoy’s Complaint)
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, because the more genres we cover, the more examples we get from movies, music and literature the greater our understanding of the module.
Do you think that interdisciplinary modules are a good idea?
Yes, their great fun and you really learn a lot more.
Do you think you have benefited from the interdisciplinary approach taken in the module?
Yes I did, I had fun, I learned new things, I discovered interesting new authors and realized that I am a bad person
Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter?
Yes, definitely yes.
Are planning to take the follow-up module PH2004 ‘It Shouldn’t Be Allowed’ at level 2?
Yes
Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend?
Yes, definitely. In fact I already did
Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea?
Yes, they made us work systematically and gave us a chance to memorize the things from the lecturers better.
What did you think of the other assessments (e.g. would it be better to have one longer assessment rather than two shorter ones?)?
No, two shorter assessments are much better and much more harder to write. A short assessment requires more skill because your answer has to be well thought through, in order to stay in the word limit.
What have you learned from the module?
How are famous criminals perceived by the public, what makes them more heroes then villains. What some people do to their bodies for pure pervasive pleasure. Why things, which are done by, the masses, like smoking are still considered bad. And of course much, much, much more useful information
What parts of the module have you found most useful and why?
Bandits and Outlaws introduced me to some really interesting books, Body Modifications gave me knowledge on a subject I knew very little of.
What parts do you think were a waste of time and why?
I personally didn’t enjoy the Bad Cinema session, but maybe another movie could change the situation.
Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’?
It was a really good module, because it was so BAD. The lectures were fun and we had a chance to discover some interesting new books and theories on bad behavior. In Level 2 I will be doing It Shouldn’t be Allowed to learn more.
