What is your degree subject (both if joint)? Creative and Professional Writing and War Studies

Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking? Not related directly as such but improves my computing and writing skills

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

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? Can't think of any offhand

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

What did you think of the module team? Very good

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

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 covers a wide range of subjects that are interesting no matter what subject you are studying

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

Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter? No, no need to make the course content more complex

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

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?)? It would be better to give a more in depth question that reflects more issues on the subjects I am studying rather than generic titles

What have you learned from the module? I now know how to write a weblog and learned more about issues that could be considered 'bad'

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why? How to write a weblog: could be useful in the future.

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why? Some of the lectures were poorly run and difficult to follow because of people talking. Non-relevant material made me feel bored and switch off my concentration.

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’? Keep up the good work and make a couple of changes to course should make it a more enjoyable module in the future
