Final Blog...Yipee

I am a 19 year old female studying Criminal Justice and Sociology combined. In a way Being Bad does relate to some of my other modules, as there is some study as to how individuals behave, which relates to my sociology modules. I have found the module at an appropriate level, I personally found the two written assignments very interesting to do. The blog I found to be very time consuming but I think it is a good way of expressing views and opinions. The lists of topic covered I think were appropriate, however I think an interesting topic to discuss would be prostitution. The classes have worked well, but I hated that the lectures were in the evening. I think the module team was very good, the fact that the topics were taught by specialist of a partiuclar subject was very helpful. I think it would be better if there was more small group discussion as well as debate and discussion with the class as a whole. I am not sure whether more infomration from the lecturers wpuld be particularly helpful as I found the module to be more opinion based rather than gathering factual information. The interdisciplinary approach is a useful way of approaching the topics covered in the module. I have benefited from the interdisplanry approach as I thinkk it goves a wider perspective of things as more than one thing can be looked at. I would like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter as I found it interesting and useful. If it is possible, I would like to take the folow up module PH2004 'It shouldn't be allowed' at level 2. I would certainly recommened 'Being Bad' to a friend as it is an enjoyable module. I definately think that the blogs were a good idea as it gave you a chance to comment on things we have discussed in class as well as things you wish to comment on, also reading other blogs I found interesting. I enjoyed doing the two assignments, however I did find it very challenging with the word limit. I think maybe people should have a choice of doing one longer assignment rather than two short ones, I personally would have liked to have done one long peice. I have learnt that there may be two sides to bad behaviour, certain things are done for reasons which may be understandable, however there are still things which are inexcusable. I found the blog the most useful tool as we were able to view the thoughts of others and comment on them. Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed the module.
