[andrewlee94]

Fixes 1205

Summary/Motivation:

The Modular Properties did not give very useful error messages when given a dict of arguments instead of the unpacked arguments (**kwargs).

Changes proposed in this PR:

• Add catches for cases where when the dict might not have been unpacked and raise a useful error message.
