What is your degree subject (both if joint)?
Its social care and social policy

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

If so, how? And if not, why not?
It relates with one of my core modules in social care cause it shows the bad habits which decreases social capital in society.

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

Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate?
They were appropriate showing the bad habits that people do however I found the topic on masturbation a bit disgusting .

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included?
Yes .topic such as prison and abuse (all sorts of abuse)

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

What did you think of the module team?
The module team was okay however some of the modules members need to make their topic a bit interesting by including activities. Too much talking makes people find it boring

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

Small group discussions?
Yes makes people comfortable for example the uncomfortable topics such as masturbation

Discussion and debate among the class as a whole?
Makes it interesting because you hear other peoples views and thoughts on the topic .

Information and talk from lecturers?
Too much information and talk with no activities make it boring

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 it is because you have various information.

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 . it has shown me when doing something you do research on it from all aspects

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?
Yes

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

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea?
It was but sometimes you forget to enter an entree.

What did you think of the other assessments (e.g. would it be better to have one longer assessment rather than two shorter ones?)?
Have one long assignment cause it would be finished and done

What have you learned from the module?
The following things I have learnt:
• To make a commitment to something and keep with it for example web blog
• To say my views showing my views are important
• The body modification taught me that people do it for different reasons

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why?
I have found body modification useful because it taught me so many things I didn’t know such as people have piercing and tattoos even for religion.

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why?
Nothing

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’?
Yes regarding the too religious topic. I found it very offencive because my sister attends watch tower which you gave an example. The thing which I found offencive was you did not pick on other religions or denominations. I think you should include other religions because you were just picking on Christianity the most compared to other. Other religions were not even mentioned t all.
