Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included? I would have like to seen animal testing and fox hunting on the module.

Do you think that the format for classes has worked well? Yes i think the lectures worked well, and the blog lessons were well run.

What did you think of the module team? The module team made a change from the usual lectures you have, ( that go on and on forever)

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

Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? No, there was plenty of debate from the whole class.
Information and talk from lecturers?No, there was sufficient talking time from the lecture, the module was balanced in a sense that the lectureres did not go on forever and there was an equal balnace of discussions.

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 the lectures provided a range of all these aspects.

Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend? Yes, i thought it was interesting, and again different from the other lectures.

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea? Yes in a way because it allowed you to reflect on other peoples blogs and posts and it allowed you to write what you thought of the module. However, i wasn't aware untill the email that you could only do 1 blog a day, which i thought was a bit much.

What did you think of the other assessments (e.g. would it be better to have one longer assessment rather than two shorter ones?)? Yes one longer assessment would have been better, but there again the 2 little essays weren't long.

What have you learned from the module? That people have different perspectives and ideas about what is bad and what is not.
