Blog Questionnaire

Age? I am 22 years old.

Sex? Female

What is your degree subject (both if joint)? I am a social work major with two minors. One in Women's Studies and the other in English.

Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking? Yes.

If so, how? And if not, why not? I took a class that was about the regulation of sex in the 18c in London.

Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level? Too easy. I mean, not like I got an A. Everything is easy to procrastinate. Its not the work that's too easy, its the subject matter. I like to be rigorously questioned.

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? Pornography. Polygamy. Open relationships.

Do you think that the format for classes has worked well? I suppose. I don't know what to base it off of.

What did you think of the module team? I have no idea what your asking.

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

Small group discussions? No.

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, Media Studies and Politics): do you think this a useful way of approaching the topics covered in the module?

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? Uh, yes.

Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter? In America...surree!

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

Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend? A friend coming to Wolverhampton, yes.

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea? Yes, their for narcissistic people like myself.

What did you think of the other assessments (e.g. would it be better to have one longer assessment rather than two shorter ones?)? Um. I like the blogs. And yes, I think one longer assessment rather than the two ones.

What have you learned from the module? That those who have power control what is deviant and what is not.

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why? Blogs. I was about to talk about the things I read on a daily basis.

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why? The group discussions.

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’? Yes! The talking is a problem. A big problem. For me and for other people. There is a lack of respect in the room and its unacceptable. I have whispered, everyone whispers but ill be damned if people just don't have like serious loud conversations in the sessions. Its like,why come to class. So I think more control over the classroom would be helpful. If people are disrespectful, they should be asked to leave. I paid 4,300 dollars to come here for one semester. I do not want to listen to other people. I would like to listen to people with PhD's (and of course master degrees). Also, I think people should be made to concentrate. Classes are structured differently here so I don't know how it would be done but I just think it would be nice to really hear what people think and listen to some debates.

Tis all.
