Questionnaire

Just on my way to the train station when I get a phone call, we have to do this questionnaire! Here goes.

Age?
20

Sex?
Male

What is your degree subject (both if joint)?
Film Studies

Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking?
Yes. Film, critical thinking and cultural studies.

If so, how? And if not, why not?
In film the use of bad cinema, critical thinking is relevant to all of the blogs (the ability to access and question ethics and morals) and cultural studies during the study of society.

Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level?
Appropriate, except for internet access for blogs near the end of the module.

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?
Not really. The topics covered were interesting and varied.

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

What did you think of the module team?
Groovy.

Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions?
Discussion and debate among the class as a whole?
Information and talk from lecturers?

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?
Yes.

Do you think you have benefited from the interdisciplinary approach taken in the module?Absolutely. My mind is opened!

Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter?
No.

Are you planning to take the follow-up module PH2004 ‘It Shouldn’t Be Allowed’ at level 2?
Would have to look into it. Sounds interesting.

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

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea?
Yes. The blogs were one of the best parts of the course. Maybe a multi-user blog could be made so everyone can comment on each topic.

What did you think of the other assessments (e.g. would it be better to have one longer assessment rather than two shorter ones?)?
A long creative piece and a short essay would be better.

What have you learned from the module?
Everything can be classed as bad. Society cannot agree as a whole to any action as being totally 'good'.

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why?
The blogs because it’s easier to express your opinions when they have been though about and debated.

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why?
None really. Maybe more, shorter lecture could be held and each student chooses to attend a minimum of 12 to help be more of a personal module.

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’?
Thanks for listening! (Sort of!)
