What is your degree subject (both if joint)? Creative and Professional Writing & English

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

If so, how? And if not, why not? It relates to Creative Writing.

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

Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate? Yes, I do.

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included? Emotional blackmail or blackmail in general, extravagant fashion and life style…

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

What did you think of the module team? Interesting.

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

Small group discussions? I do not think so.

Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? This could be agreeable.

Information and talk from lecturers? This was appropriate.

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 a useful way of approaching the topics covered in the module? I do. For writers are all the things mentioned above interesting and useful.

Do you think that interdisciplinary modules are a good idea? I strongly agree.

Do you think you have benefited from the interdisciplinary approach taken in the module? Yes, I have benefited from it.

Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter? Why not? (i.e. Yes.)

Are you planning to take the follow-up module PH2004 ‘It Shouldn’t Be Allowed’ at level 2? I would like to, but it depends on my schedule.

Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend? Yes, I would.

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea? Yes, but I did not like the idea that each post had to be made on a different day.

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 was glad that there were two shorter assignments. (The creative piece was a good idea as an assignment.)

What have you learned from the module? I learnt where to find new topics for my writing.

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why? Streaming of the clips and accompanied by tutor’s comments.

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why? I think that breaks between the first and the second part of lectures were not necessary.

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’? No more questioners, please.
