Historical and contemporary research and theory in human development will be covered. Although the primary focus will be on normative development, selected topics in child and adolescent psychopathology are considered as well. Course grades will be based upon your performance on three short papers and four multiple-choice quizzes. The short papers will count for 30 points each, the quizzes will count for 50 points each, and students will have opportunities during the semester to earn a total of 10 points of extra credit. The specific nature of the papers and quizzes will be covered on the first day of class.
Reasonable accommodations are available for students who have a documented disability.
Please notify the instructor during the first week of class of any accommodations needed for the course. Late notification may cause the requested accommodations to be unavailable.
