Do you think it would have been better to have had more:
Small group discussions? yes, would get more opinions from small groups, speaking in lecture can be intimidating.
Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? see above
Information and talk from lecturers? would have liked equal information and debate balance
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? it is useful way of dealing with material, but for some students with no experience of creative writing/scripts etc, making it compulsory to have 2 written assessments in different formats can be difficult. eg, I have no experience of creative writing, so am finding rationale and actual writing difficult, as a novice.
