Description
This course provides an overview of human development across the life span from prenatal to late adulthood. We will critically examine current research within the context of various theories of development. We will spend our time focusing on typical development across all stages as to understand what to
expect from most humans and notice when atypical development patterns are occurring. The course will be broken into stages of prenatal development,
infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, later life, and a focus on death if time allows. Students will learn the basic principles of development for each
stage through the use of the textbook and also complete assignments that will push them to interact with people through various stages of development.
