End Questionnaire


Age? 22
Sex? Male
What is your degree subject (both if joint)? Film & Media and Communication Studies
Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking? Yes.
If so, how? And if not, why not? One of the lectures we watched a film called 'Kids' as a part of the 'Bad Cinema' lecture. The discussions of the film and 'Bad Cinema' in general helped me with my film modules.
Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level? Appropriate level
Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate? Yes, some were controvercial to talk about or maybe even embarrasing?
Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included? No
Do you think that the format for classes has worked well? Yes
What did you think of the module team? Very good team. Always there to help with blogs or assignments.
Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions? Not really, the discussions we had with fellow classmates in lectures was enough.
Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? There was always room for discussions in this module as I feel that this module was all about group debates and discussions. Increasing it will only makes things better.
Information and talk from lecturers? There was enough information given to me, therefore I'm sure there was enough given to everyone else.
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?Yes because the lectures covered all these modules. For example, Bad Cinema covered the perpective of Film Studies.
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, beacuse we had discussions in the lectures that maybe i thought i could never have in a class.
Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter? Yes beacuse i really enjoyed this module
Are you planning to take the follow-up module PH2004 ‘It Shouldn’t Be Allowed’ at level 2? I'm not certain yet, i will look into the module more and get some information on it.
Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend? Definately. It was a great experience.
Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea?Yes Beacause I not only got to talk about issues of the world but share them with my peers.
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 think one long assesment would be better than two shorter ones beacause when you look at the work load of 3 assessments in this module, although they are not too difficult, at first glance it made me think that this module is going to be full of work.
What have you learned from the module? Learned alot about issues that i wouldn't normally talk about to people like drugs or masturbation. But I have also learned alot about the issues of the world as i have expressed in my blogs.
What parts of the module have you found most useful and why? I found the blogs most useful as I have addressed issues that I got to share with my classmates.
What parts do you think were a waste of time and why? Maybe full lectures dedicated to one subject like Body modification and Masturbation. I think these two subjects could be put together in one session to free up time for other issues.
Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’? No, except I really enjoyed the module, it was a great experience.
