Interpesonal Violence Class Reflection

I decided to take this class because it sounded the most interesting out of all other electives that were on the list that I got in my mail package. Especially, when I saw that you are teaching it, I knew that I will try to get it in this class. And now after few weeks being in this class, I know that I made a good choice. I am already familiar with your teaching style because I took “Interpesonal Violence” earlier, so I know more-less what to expect. Although, the material is not the same, the way you are presenting it, is the same and I love it. So far we covered mostly historical stuff, and I am looking forward to learn more interesting facts. Right now, I know the exact difference between Casanova and Don Juan. Prior to this class they were more-less the same to me. I never knew what is difference, but I know now. Also, the movie that we watched in class was very informative and hard to forget which is good. I was trying to get my husband to watch it, but when he heard what is it about, he said that he will rather watch soccer than waste time on something like that. When we talked about the bundling board, I was surprised that was actually happening or something like that existed at all. …show more content…
Whoever came up with that idea, I think he/she wasted time. You could always jump over that board or similar. Even when I was reading more about it, it said that they used to be put in a sack or bag, tied close to their neck. So, that way they were still able to cuddle somehow, but that was it. Again, to me this is nonsense, but it is part of history, it is good to know all this and how we improved over the time. I am in Social Service Worker- Gerontology program and I think that Human Sexuality course will help me to better understand the views of people around me and my future clients. It is necessary to be aware of religion, social norms, laws and morality of their time. All those historical facts that we covered in this class can be useful because I will know from what era my clients are coming and what their views and values were back then. I am also looking forward to learn more about sexual variations - paraphilias. I heard about some of them, but after this course, hopefully I will know how to recognize and name them properly. You mention earlier that we will also cover field of conception, contraception and abortion, that is always interesting, especially if we will compare some cultures and their views about this subject. We already did that in some other classes, but it was very brief review. So, hopefully in this class I will hear more about contraception and abortion techniques that are active this day. I already learned briefly about things they used to do in the past when it comes to this things, but I would like to learn what is going on these days in other countries and is it still normal there to the same stuff that they did many years back. As I mention earlier, I already took one course with you, and even that first course was recommended to me by your previous students, as well as this one. Students usually say- either you like that teacher, or you don`t, there is no middle. I
