에모리대학교의 Understanding Violence 학습자 리뷰 및 피드백

The title of the course is misleading, focusing almost exclusively on GBV, gang violence and shooting incidents in the US and leaving out other important forms of violence, like war, terrorism and some general historical, statistical and global dynamics. Gang violence or shooting incidents are relevant in the US, but not in most other countries. While gender based violence is incredibly important, it is not the only type of violence and in this case the focus should be added in the title of the course. The title promises a global perspective on dynamics of violence, but the course adopts almost exclusively a public health approach, which is by far not sufficient for discussing such a broad phenomenon as is violence.

Very informative and interesting. Learned some great new concepts and how different types of violence impact others.

This course provides a very broad understanding of violence prevalent in the United States and globally. Statistics and critical self-reflection points are provided throughout the course. If you're looking for a course to challenge your views of violence or, simply, to enhance your knowledge of the subject matter, this course is for you.

Good, but the people who manage the course don't pay attention to the review of the works. This involves that some reviews from other student can take several months to be done. This is unacceptable.

Interesting for US-Americans or people who are interested in US-American Epidemiologics. Very US-centered

Excellent course! Great opportunity to express yourself with a video in the final peer reviewed assignment!

I think the course offers very interesting approaches to understanding violence. However, sometimes I felt that it was too carried towards the health approach which surely many people will find interesting and necessary for their fields of study. However, working on social sciences myself, I hoped for a more balanced approach. Nevertheless, the course gave me important insight on such a complicated topic, and I really enjoyed it.

Peer graded assessment is not appriciated try using more quizes instead of peer

interesting course way to feminized. It did not take into account that women can also be violent, if not more so. It only focused on the fact that men are violent and almost no discussion of women being violent towards men.

I have trained and work in the branch of violence and its survivors. This is the first Coursera course I have taken and have been totally satisfied with both the presentation and the material. I did not do the paid version so I cannot comment on the peer review process. I hope the material will be updated with the new situation of a USA president disenfranchising many projects and fomenting much fear from the White House. I have already shared a few of the videos with colleagues and friends, which hopefully will make them curious enough to start. I appreciated the layout of the course and was happy that it ended on a positive note of inroads being made. I am particularly happy to know about "Men Stopping Violence" group. Emory University really looks like a forward thinking institution.

I REALLY enjoyed this course. It contained a vast amount of information on a variety of topics. It was wonderful to have so many different speakers presenting information. The objectives and requirements were clear and reasonable. It would have been nice to have an alternate to completing a peer review for someone who was significantly ahead of schedule, but I understand the value of peer reviews and why they would be particularly beneficial to the learning goals of this course.

A brilliant beneficial course covering different aspects of violence and methods of both prevention and also possible ways to deal with after effects of violence. If you are interested in unsolved parts of human violence and why it emerges pervasively then you should take this course to gain enlightening perspectives about that topic. No matter what you do and what you study, this course is available for anyone who wants to know more about violence to the core. Good luck!

This was one of the best courses taken to address real world issues. I have numerous degrees, but this certification zeroes in on what matters relating to violence on a global scale. I especially enjoyed the mission of President Jimmy Carter and his passion for violence against women. Thank you, Emory for believing in the importance of this delicate subject.

I loved this course, perfectly encapsulates the nuances of violence, specially the less known about nuances of violence! The professors who took up modules were specialists so there was information-specific credence to everything that was being said here! I recommend this course for all those who want broad perspectives on society and its socializations!

The course is very thorough. It covers so many different fields and gives you a good idea at how broad violence is. It's approach is different and effective. The course is something I'd highly recommend especially if you are someone who's profession deals with violence in some shape or form.

It is a great course. Focusing on different topics every week gives an overall understanding of "violence". I really enjoyed especially the videos where professors explain the topics very well. I definitely recommended it.

One of the most beautiful courses to date, good and very useful training. Through these courses, a lot about violence, and I became an understanding of violence, and I became a loser in facing violence.

thank you

This is a very interesting course that allow us not only to understand the roots of violence, but also some situations and conditions violence occurs in other regions and within other cultures around the world.

This course is truly meant for me. I did enjoy every lesson I got here. All videos,lessons and assignments are so thoughtful . I am grateful for offering such dynamic that is helpful for future pursuit, too.

Curso muy interesante que te brinda una perspectiva muy amplia del origen y las consecuencias de la violencia, permite reflexionar y sensibiliza sobre el tema.

This course is really helping me to understand what is violence and the different types of violence. It is inline with the research I am presently undertaking.

This is the best course I've ever had on Coursera! Engaging, important, meaningful, useful. I would definitely repeat it again some time.

It has been an amazing course that helped me a lot to acquire a vast amount of knowledge, but the most important, to be a better person.

Parfait cours bien creusé, bien détaillé et bien dispensé par des Prof chevronnés! Tous les aspects y sont abordés. Chapeau tiré!

Very much informative.. this course may help in understanding complex behavior n could help in various aspect relating violence.
