Final summary of my blog


Age? 26

Sex? female

What is your degree subject (both if joint)?
Social policy and Social welfare law

Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking?
It makes you have a open mind when working with people and seeing many different points of views from different angles which is very important to my other modules when working in groups.


If so, how? And if not, why not?
It helps you not to be too judgemental of people just by there appearance

Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level?
I have found it to be quite demanding with the blogs i think more work should have been done on assignments by increasing the word count for essays.

Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate?
No because the majority were very uncomfortable and to me unnecessary but i appreciate the fact that it takes us out of our comfort zone.

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included?
Yes topics which are more serious Crime because ther is alot of it, Race because there are many cultures in urban communities and it has become very anti-social, community would be good because it allows people to identify themselves and others life styles and young youth because many children are bored and are turning to crime, drugs, teen, sex, guns and gangs.

Do you think that the format for classes has worked well?
yes in some ways but it could have been more better if we had a group task for more social interaction.

What did you think of the module team?
I think the having a variety of different teachers was good and Mark was a very good leader for the module to keep us interested very much straight forward

Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions? yes most definetly more interaction would have been more beneficial
Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? were really good there were alot of ideas and different peceptions which i have learned from.
Information and talk from lecturers?
Some information was unnecessary because some of the sources were outdated and not very familiar to relate to so this is where i had to come out of my comfort zone and really think more broadly which was good

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? not all

Do you think that interdisciplinary modules are a good idea?
yes because it makes you see the world from all kinds of perpectives which you would not normally think about.

Do you think you have benefited from the interdisciplinary approach taken in the module?
yes i will be able to take the differnt topics and analyse cases move deeply
Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter? depending on the topics i mentioned earlier yes.

Are you planning to take the follow-up module PH2004 ‘It Shouldn’t Be Allowed’ at level 2?
maybe

Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend?
depending on the individuals personality yes i would

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea?
yes if others read your work it would be encouraging
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 i most definetly agree
What have you learned from the module? that i must be more open minded and not just accept things at face value or listen to the first thing people tell you but anaylise it for yourself

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why?
i have learned something new from each topic once i done my research and this is what i value the most.

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why? the topics: masturbation, body modifications and lying with integrety because it was not essencial to the topic being bad its would not be the first thing i think these are good compared to some bad things which are happening in the world it wasn't bad enough i think.

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’? It was a good learning process but the topics were not stimulating enough for my personality to stay interested i felt quite bored maybe a few more videos and interactive tasks would have been good. But otherwise i am thinking more about how i percieve things and am begining to think outside of the box.
