Questionnaire

Age? 19
Sex? Female
What is your degree subject (both if joint)? Religious Studies and Philosophy
Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking? Not really
If so, how? And if not, why not? Other than the session “Being Too Religious,” I didn’t really think the lectures were relevant to the courses I’m taking, although the thinking aspect of philosophy was obviously there.
Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level? Too easy, although I found it was hard to decide what the assignments required of me
Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate? Yes
Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included? Obviously there are topics like murder which are bad, but they are un-debatably bad, so no
Do you think that the format for classes has worked well? No
What did you think of the module team? I thought the lectures were a little impersonal and disengaging
Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions? Yes definitely
Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? Yes
Information and talk from lecturers? Yes, this was what was lacking the most
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? I suppose so
Do you think you have benefited from the interdisciplinary approach taken in the module? A little, yes
Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter? Yes, possibly
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? Maybe
Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea? Yes
What did you think of the other assessments (e.g. would it be better to have one longer assessment rather than two shorter ones?)? They were too short and the criteria was unclear, particularly with the rationale. I think in future, there should only be one assignment, and that should be one set essay question that everyone does
What have you learned from the module? Other people’s views
What parts of the module have you found most useful and why? Blogging
What parts do you think were a waste of time and why? The sessions!
Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’? No
